The day we signed Roofe and Itten.

For me this was the most important day of the season for us. This was the day we introduced a couple of serious quality options up top instead of guys like Stewart and Kamberi.

It meant whilst we ended up keeping Morelos we were no longer going to be totally reliant on him. And for me that reliance on Morelos was one of the biggest factors in our collapse last season.

IMO this was one of the last key bits of squad shaping by SG and is what took us up another level and put us on to the path we are now - confidently striding towards the title.

Two great bits of business that will hopefully get better and better over the next couple of seasons 👍

We were still in talks with Lille to sell Morelos but it ended up not going through.

I think if Alfie had gone we would have brought in one more.

But there is a lot more to come from Itten in particular for me.

Roofe when he is fit is terrific. Itten has shown a lot of promise and always looks dangerous when he comes on.

Roofe has proved to be at least two steps up from the likes of Stewart and Kamberi.

I think big Ced the Ted is proving to be a very shrewd buy for an "undisclosed" fee. Super buy

I had my reservations about Roofe but happy to have been proven wrong. He's a quality addition to the squad.

Itten, I don't think many of us had any idea who or what we were getting, but yet again he's looked quality which is even more impressive given his lack of game time. Just wait till he gets a run of games.

Most important day of the season? Not sure I'd go that far.

Roofe looks a good player which doesn't surprise me, having seen a bit of him at Leeds.

Itten? Not played all that much but looks promising.

Feel free to pick another day of your choosing 😂👍

For me the biggest reason (not the only one tho) behind our collapse last season was the red card for Morelos at Parkhead. The winter break plus his suspension meant he was out for about 4-5 weeks.

He went to Colombia, came back unfit and basically never made a contribution to the second half of the season.

As a team we lost all our momentum because we relied on him so Mitch. He was the focal point of everything we did last season.

And for me the addition of Roofe and Itten was a statement that we were no longer going to be reliant on Alfredo.

And that is one of the most important steps we had to take 👍

The day Celtic signed Duffy?

Joking apart, off the top of my head, the win over Celtic at Ibrox was a big one. Partly because we didn't play anything like our best football but still managed to tough out a win (with a bit of luck!).

Duffy day will be be remembered for some time.

In terms of biggest disappointment of the season it has to be between Duffy and Barkas but big Shane was probably the one that came with the biggest reputation.

Big day in the season was when we beat Motherwell
3-1 at Ibrox.

Just lost in LC to St Mirren, all the talk was of another collapse.

1-0 down early on and struggling to break down the 5-5-0 formation.

Big physiological hurdle cleared when we turned that round IMO

That was huge actually. I remember being at my mum's dropping off the wee one. They were giving me it tight saying that's the collapse starting, 10 still on. Before I left very different picture.
