Scott Wright can’t be around next season and Danilo is in contract for another few years. McCausland needs a bit more time maybe and Fabio is going to cost a lot - as for our strike force anyone coming in will do better than Dessers. Christ there must be some youth players watching him wondering why they don’t get thrown on!

I agree but loan market and our future budget will be a constraint. I fully expect Clement to already have a short list of likely players to bring in and judging by Diomande, Cortes. Fabio Silva there’s bargains to be had and deals to be done. RW is a definite requirement to shore up. CF would be great but young versatile players with pro attitude to slot in wherever they are needed is Cléments style.

Regardless of what our loan players may or may not want, or get. Our manager is capable of finding more of the same. If we don’t keep Sima Clément will just go out and find another prospect. If we don’t keep Fabio then Clement will go find another and I have every confidence. I also think the defence and parts of the midfield are more likely to be his permanent target areas.

Cortes was looking great but some are saying he won’t be back after the loan ends. The ones I’m most concerned about are Sterling and Sima. If Fabio, Ridvan, Diomande, Tav, and Lundstram play to their best we are beating Benfica.

Apparently Jack and Matondo are available for Benfica

What’s the list now? Sterling, Cortes, Roofe (next week) Cantwell, Sima, whatsisname?

One game at a time. Feeling confident but anything can happen and our injury list is a massive concern.

Keeping the subs in case we injure somebody else…

Are you kidding me???

Regardless of the final result this does plenty of damage to their already fragile belief

All of Ibrox roaring this team on and Benfica could collapse.

Think we'd all have taken that before the game started. With a less than perfect team.

Yes, we would all take that of course, and I'd like my hair to grow back.

SO much pressure back on them. Brilliant.

Ya dancer

Shouldn't have been a pen. Most of us would take being level at half-time.

Bugger

Butland

I'm fond of Calvin B but Dujon Sterling has even more promise and considerably more versatility. He's one powerful unit

I said they’d drop points, just not expecting it would happen this weekend?!?

Couple of wee Bears in that Hearts side, hopefully give it their all till the end.

Ok that’s one down

Two goals coming. Tav and mad Dessers

At least Cortes aint in the Europe sides

This is the signal you send to the chasing teams.
