Mark McGhee is new Motherwell manager and Mixu Paatelainen will be named new Dundee United manager

I think we all know who Dundee United's real returning saviour is, though, don't we?

Welcome to Tannadice Mixu, Upwards and onwards. I haven't been to too many games this season due to work commitments but the last time I seen United which was against Kilmarnock they were bloody awful and I was one of those in the crowd who was calling for the head of Jackie McNamara.

Only 2 things that surprised me about this season so far was.

1 - Why did it take the board so long to dispose of Jackie and his coaching team of jokers.

2 - Why did it take the United board almost 3 weeks to appoint an successor. Mixu however still has more than enough time to turn around our season and save us from the threat of relegation.

Once again welcome to Mixu our new gaffer.



Mixu in the late 80's in his playing days for us.



I sincerely hope that he breaks the curse of the former player coming back Tannadice only for things to go tits up which has often been the case so many times before.

Had to wait for Big Sam to get off the market

I think Jackie got more time because he has had to rebuilt after seeing his best players sold and he has got them top 6 finishes and took them to 2 Cup Finals

Aberdeen's early form appears to have disintegrated. Well done to Ross County, though

Good win for Dunfermline 3-0 over Stranraer and with it being on BBC Alba I could rest my weary cold ridden body at home, all in all it has been a good day

Hamilton got a draw with Dundee to keep in the top 6.

East Stirling 2 Elgin 0 - at last! Still bottom, though.

Hibs won 1-0 at Falkirk thanks to a Jason Cummings penalty in 40 mins in Championship.

Rangers beat Livingston 1-0 in Petrofac Cup Q/Final Nicly Clark in 75 mins with goal, meet St Mirren at Ibrox in semi final

Hamilton ought to have done better than draw with Partick.

East Stirling got KO'd from the Cup 2-1 by Huntly

Dunfermline and Ayr both won
