Last season we kicked off away to the League Champions. This season we kick off away to ........the League Champions. Somebody in SPFL not like us?
Not an easy start to the season followed only by Aberdeen (Scott Brown and all).
What are your thoughts for these games and for the season? Whole bundle of new signings.

Yeah tough start, but everyone plays everyone so it'll all be levelled out after the first 11 games. Wouldn't mind playing Celtic before they sign more players, or punt their manager, they'll probably be better by the time we play them though.
Thought we did well till Kabia got injured, then we went down to 10 men with our subs all used up. Sloppy defending not picking up Hagi at the back of the 6 yard box from the free kick, think it was Penrice that should've been watching him, but from open play they hardly got a shot on target after they scored, till Kabia was injured and they got their 2nd, then 3rd when he went off and we went down to 10 men. His injury totally swung it in their favour.
Thought the 3rd goal was harsh on us after the work we put in keeping it down to 1-0, and even starting to look like we could nick something with Hamilton and Kabia looking useful, Hammy got a shot at goal after just coming on.
The games against the fellow 'diddy teams' will tell us more about ourselves though, we'll be less compact against them, and looking to attack more, which will show us how our defence holds up. They're my main concern, that and how Martindale had us set up playing in the cup games, with bringing it slowly out from the back and hitting long diagonal balls up the wings. Hopefully we'll be a lot better than we were in those games with the new signings gelling, and players fully fit after recovering from viruses.
