Aberdeen sign the fantastically named Calvin Zola, who may or may not be a type of cheese:

Never seen him play, but he's a big guy who scored a few goals last season.
He's our third 6ft+ centre forward, with the intention being to play 4-3-3, so I'm not convinced the signing was really a necessity.
Hopefully he's good at holding the ball up and linking the play, because the other two forwards aren't.
Wonder if the signing means we'll be prepared to let Vernon leave.
If we start the season with three senior centre forwards, McManus needs to get sent out on loan to get games and to get booted up in the air by lower-league centre halves.

Aberdeen FC is this morning delighted to announce Ryan Jack has signed a new contract that will see him remain with the Club until the summer of 2016.

Was worried when he was called up for Scotland that people were starting to realise how good he is and that we might lose him, so this is great news.
Also helps to maintain the quota of Aberdeen fans in the team.

Aberdeen FC is delighted to confirm the signings of former Bolton player Gregg Wylde and Lawrence Shankland from Queens Park.

Decent enough moves.
Liked the look of Wylde when he played for Scotland u21s.
Just concerned that between him and Zola that things are heading towards 4-4-2. Was really looking for Aberdeen to play 4-3-3 and dominate the centre of the pitch.
McInnes in an interview the other day wouldn't say what system he was planning beyond saying he'd always play with a back four.
Can't remember the last time Aberdeen signed a young player from down the leagues, so it's nice to know they are still at least keeping an eye on things.
The exaggerated niceness between Aberdeen and Queen's Park is due to Dundee Utd being dicks when dealing with Queen's Park and trying to avoid paying compensation to them.
Typical jute minks.

I'd guess there will be a full-back and a keeper signed and that'll be it for the summer.

Celtic got raped by Greuther Furth 6-2. If I remember correctly, those guys didn't win a single home game in Bundesliga last season. Pretty embarrassing result for a club, that is better than Barca.
Also, found this hilarious post in that Celtic forum:
Too bad they never realised the same goes for their win against Barca. Such a pathetic bunch of deluded idiots.

Both Dundee football clubs have been shown the red card by food hygiene inspectors assessing their kitchens.
Dundee United FC and Dundee FC were slammed by inspectors investigating food and hygiene standards at the catering facilities in their stadiums.
At Dundee United’s home, the 14,000-capacity Tannadice Stadium, inspectors found mould growing on the bars of a broken and filthy extraction vent.
Inspectors also discovered cobwebs in other kitchen units and there were no hand washing facilities in the players’ lounge, where pies are often served.
In another area, inspectors found “no evidence” that staff washed their hands.
Local rivals Dundee Football Club fared no better, with the 11,500-capacity Dens Park failing a hygiene inspection in February.
Inspectors found mouse droppings in one food outlet and no hand washing facilities in others.
According to the investigators’ report, the relegated club had previously been warned about rodent issues.
Fucking minks.
Not surprising in the least.
