Foster agreed so first 11 from 01 Sept ?

4-3-3

Foster Hegarty Cribari Wallace

Law Black/Hutton Mcleod

Clark Daly Little

Mibbe 4-3-1-2 with shiels behind clark and daly/clark and little

Mibbe 4-4-2 with Little/Templeton wide

Now there's a little depth to the squad there's a number of permutations we could use in midfield and up top

true

If Lhunny's clocked that youtube of peralta there's a good chance he'll spend half the season in the stand

Black, Hutton and Peralta are all defensive midfielders.

That's the midfield sorted then.

I'd be happy with Faure at cb next to McCulloch, not that I think Jig is a great centre-back but like Patrick Bateman, don't think McCoist will drop him and at cb his lack of pace will be less noticeable

Law on r.wing instead of Little, making room for McLeod in midfield, dropping Little to the bench - I'd be fine with that

McCoist says he wants another cb - to start ahead of Cribari?, and another striker, so we'll need to review things at a later date

So far, I feel almost all players bought (exception of Smith as l.b. cover) seems stronger than those we finished the season with so I'm hopeful for the new season..........apart from the position of manager. Apologies to end on a negative note and as I've said before, would dearly love my assessment of McCoist, as a manager, to be proved incorrect

Bell

Foster McCulloch *SOMEONE ELSE PLEASE* Wallace

McLeod

Law Templeton

Sheils

Clark Daly

Give Sheils another chance to make an impression, if he doesnt recreate his SPL POTY form, hunt him, plenty of uys we can use instead of him

Prof

As dc says, gives us a few more options now and that can only be a good thing

The more players Ally has, to play hopelessly out of position, the better

professor,

I think we'd all love your assessment of McCoist to be wrong, I myself have been critical of him. This is his season to show if his future lies as the manager.....we deserve some decent football this year, doesn't matter who the opposition is.

DC your 11 is pretty much what I would go for
