SPL - 3rd
Scottish cup - Runner Up
Scottish League Cup - Semi Finals
Happy to get the maximum i could have expected but getting 3rd. Champions League football next year is a huge unexpected boost.
SPL Review
Dundee Utd - 9/10 - Without the Champions League it would have been a 7or8 League form digressed and they missed out on the Scottish Cup finals but all that is nothing as the win the Champions League
Celtic - 7/10 - First trophy in 3 seasons was a small point of glory as they fought back from 4-1 down to beat us. They were humiliated in the League and survived a late surge by ourselves to hold 2nd which was much closer than i ever expected. Winger Ali Khamis arriving on a free from Man City has to be one of there best signings in years.
Aberdeen - 7/10 - Very happy with my 1st season. 3rd place was as high as i could get add that to two good cup runs. Still a immesurable amount of work to do.
St Mirren - 6/10 Still as hard as ever to beat but were never in the hunt for the Champions League this time.
Motherwell - 7/10 - After years of digression the steelmen made the signing of the summer by getting Derek Adams from County. I Expect them to remain a for half force from now on.
Hibs - 6/10 Moved up 1 spot into the top 6 after striker Dylan Pooler finally came of age.
Hearts - 4/10 - Lumbered in the bottom half all season the glory days with Gary Locke seem far away!
Rangers - 2/10 - A better finishing position but shameful close to relegation again
Dunfermline - 5/10 Grieg Crawford found his shooting boots in the final 2 months to save Dunfermline from the play offs
Hamilton - 5/10 - Survival in the sides 1st season in the top flight is an achievement in itself as they get there 1st back to back SPL seasons in this save.
Inverness CT - 3/10 - No fall from Grace but a utter plumit! Amazing that both highland teams finished in the top 6 last season.
Ross County - 3/10 - Ross County immedietly saw how much the loss of Derek Adams was going to be and they were set in stone bottom from the start to the finish as there 14 year run in the top flight ends.
