The likelihood is that our transfer dealings will go on until the end of the transfer window.

I suppose that's just where most Scottish clubs are ATM.

It would be nice to get our business done early if at all possible. A good pre-season with the squad that are here for the season would be great.

Let's get the squad back early so we can have a proper go at a LC run. I don't like the way the group stages have become part of 'pres-season'. It's still a major trophy and I would love to see us compete strongly in the competition. So, back early and a good few friendlies before that competition starts in earnest.
