'A chance missed but another encouraging performance'
We asked for your views on St Johnstone's 1-1 draw against Dundee.Here's what some of you said:Jimmy: A battling performance, I felt we should have won, one of those 'what if' moments when Adama Sidibeh swiped at the ball. All in all, it's a game we didn't lose, there are more points out there, points that we can earn when we play that bit better. I feel we need Benjamin Kimpioka back, he's had his ups and downs, he needs to knuckle down now and get back to scoring.Roy: A chance missed but another encouraging performance. Despite being the only Premiership side to face three games in six days, Saints utterly dominated the worst side we've faced for many a season in the first half. Clearly tiring in the second half, we still did enough to fend them off. If we keep playing how we can, there is no way we will finish below them.

A former Hearts defender has secured a move to a Premiership rival just weeks after helping Livingston secure promotion back into the top flight. Jamie Brandon joined the Hearts academy in 2017 and went on to make 30 senior appearances after making his debut in a 2-0 defeat against Celtic. However, Brandon went on to spend the second half of the 2021/22 season on loan at Championship club Greenock Morton before penning a pre-contract agreement to join Livingston on a free transfer during the following summer. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad After racking up almost a century of appearances, what will now go down as Brandon's final season with Livi appeared to have ended in disappointment as they lost out to Falkirk in the race for the Championship title. However, a 5-3 aggregate win against Ross County in the Premiership play-off ensured Brandon and his team-mates had guided the club back into the top flight at the first attempt after they suffered relegation 12 months earlier. Former Hearts star linked to Kilmarnock move Speaking after a 4-2 win in the second leg at County's Global Energy Stadium secured promotion, the former Livingston captain said: 'It's been a special night and i'm ecstatic we've been able to get our club back to where we think it belongs. It's been a long season, we've played a lot of games and I think it's been excellent to come here and to put the performance in we have, it's been really special. The aim at the start of the season was to get promotion back to the Premiership, it didn't matter how we did that but to do it through the play-offs is a really special feeling and one everyone here will cherish for a long time.' However, Brandon will not make the jump with his side after Livi confirmed the versatile defender has 'decided to move on' after his contract came to an end. A post on X read: 'Jamie Brandon will depart the club on the expiry of his contract. We're obviously disappointed that Jamie has decided to move on. Jamie was instrumental last season and played a big part in our Trust Trophy & league success & leaves after huge success. Good luck, Brando!'

That deal has now been completed, Brandon penning a two year deal. Kettlewell said: 'We're delighted to sign Jamie, there have been a lot of clubs competing for his signature, so to get this over the line, we are extremely pleased. He's been a standout performer for Livingston, and he adds to the leadership qualities that we already have in abundance here. He's exactly the type of character we want at this football club, he understands the demands of Scottish football. 'Jamie fits in with the profile of players that we already have here, his addition will complement our squad. We want to build a squad with strong foundations and a real hunger to push forward. Jamie ticks all the boxes in that regard, and I'm delighted he's chosen to continue his career here at Kilmarnock.'

Magic Kieran Tierney moments Celtic fans want to see again including A&E dash, megaphone chats and 40 yard rockets
Hoops fans are welcoming back their hero and Record Sport looks back at the times that made the defender a favourite Celtic fans are celebrating the return of Kieran Tierney and they are hoping the rampaging fullback can pick up where he left off at Parkhead. The 28-year-old left a modern day legend five-and-a-half years ago when Arsenal made an offer the club and player couldn't refuse. But he departed having made some incredible history – and picked up a ton of silverware. There's a reason Tierney is a fans' favourite and here six of his best memorable moments as supporters prepare for more. Mega man When Hoops fans picture Tierney, there is one image that sticks in their minds more than most – the scenes with the star and the megaphone. The defender was worshiped in the stands, and no more so than by the punters packed in the standing section. They knew Tierney would more than likely be in there with them if he wasn't on the pitch. And the connection was witnessed like never before when he went into the stands to pick up a megaphone to lead the sing-song celebrations after lifting the Premiership title in 2017. He repeated the trick at Hampden after the League Cup Final win six months later and a legend was born. Tierney said: 'It was seriously like an out-of-body experience. I've got the megaphone and I'm leading the chants with people I used to actually sit in the stands with. That is fairytale stuff.' Hampden heroics Tierney wowed the punters with his displays on the pitch in his time at Celtic – but it was a huge act off it that endeared him even more to the supporters. The Scottish Cup Final in 2017 could have been a nightmare for the full back as he was forced off inside the opening few minutes after taking a hefty blow in the mouth thanks to an elbow from Aberdeen's Jayden Stockley. Tierney was whisked away to hospital while the action raged on, with docs fearing a broken jaw at worst and several smashed teeth at best. But instead of sticking on the gurney and putting the feet up, KT checked himself out and headed back to the National Stadium – where he arrived in time to see Tom Rogic's dramatic winner to clinch the invincible Treble and then take part in all the post match celebrations. Even a bloody mouth didn't hold him back. Sharp shooter Tierney's attacking displays down the left led to a ton of goals for others but he had to wait a while to open his own account. He finally hit the net on trophy day at the end of his first full campaign, as Celts rounded off with a 7-0 victory against Motherwell as boss Ronny Delia said his goodbyes. Incredibly, for a player with a wicked left peg, it was his right foot that got him up and running, as he cut inside from the flank and buried in the bottom corner. Blast from the past Tierney got into a tie habit of notching from time to time and followed that debut season with a neat header in Inverness and a thumping strike against Ross County. But there's one strike that stands out from the lot – THAT hit against Kilmarnock. KT was never shy at having a pop but not many expected him to let go when he picked up the ball 45 yards from goal. Instead, he set himself and unleashed a rocket that screamed all the way into the top corner. It was one of those goals where the cheers don't come straight away. There's almost a pause as supporters can't quite believe what they've seen – and then there was the eruption. Pittodrie powerhouse There were too many top performances to mention, with star turns in thumping wins over Rangers and class displays on an almost weekly basis. But a couple of games in the Granite City also stood out – and summed him up. In a 3-0 win at Pittodrie Tierney raced 70 yards up the pitch to get on the end of an Olivier Ntcham cutback to score. And there was another lung burster later in the game when he dashed forward and picked out Moussa Dembele. The away support will remember the later clash though when Celts were 1-0 but down to 10 men and KT went on another charge the length of the pitch before slamming into the top corner to seal the victory. Eur up to the job It was quickly clear Tierney was top notch in Scotland with his displays on a weekly basis. Yet he enhanced his reputation even further with his performances in Europe. There was a goal in a Europa League victory against RB Leipzig in Rodgers' third campaign. It was the showing against Manchester City in his first taste of Parkhead in the Champions League where he really looked the real deal. Celts went toe-to-toe with the English big guns in Glasgow and KT was one of the stars of the show. He ran at the City backline all night and defended like his life depended on it at the other end. UEFA decided Raheem Sterling had scored an own goal in the 3-3 epic, but it was all down to Tierney as he proved he was cut out to play at the very top.

Graham Carey joins the big ex-St Johnstone contingent at Livingston
Livingston have confirmed the signing of former St Johnstone playmaker, Graham Carey. The 36-year-old was one of 16 players released by Saints following their relegation from the Premiership. And, if Stevie May stays at West Lothian, Livi will have four members of the Perth club's 2022/23 squad on their books. Ryan McGowan was a defensive stalwart for David Martindale as they bounced back to the top-flight through the play-offs. Earlier in the week, Connor McLennan, a Callum Davidson loan recruit at Saints, moved up a division from Ayr United. Livi fans know all about Carey's game-changing ability, with the Irishman's stunning long-range shot denying them a place in last season's Scottish Cup semi-finals. He won't be the only ex-Saint staying in the Premiership next term. Drey Wright, who was offered a new contract, is set to join Dundee.
