Welcome to Scottish football, that squad you have is pretty solid for that level, not quite sure why you got caned so badly by the Dons. Sean McIntosh is a bit of an arsehole though.
Did the Irn-Bru Cup with both Airdrie and Falkirk earlier in my long-running save and it is a lot of fun, even if the quarter finals with Falkirk was the closest I got to winning it.
Training has generally been my Achilles heel in FM but this new set up could make it much more interesting at least. Also curious about the new tactics options though concerned some of the half-baked elements in FM18 may remain half-baked.
