Gordon Duncan

He might not even want to do it next season.

That's then not going to happen.

That situation probably changes.

But as Ewan and others have pointed out, the results have been...

fine they've been quite good at times you look at even performances against some of the bigger teams and I'm thinking when Rangers went to Livy and when Hearts went there is it only is it two defeats in the last nine something along is it something along those lines so that's enough to get I understand your point Gordon if they lost every game then excuse me then question when they'd answer so but the fact of the matter is he's thought he was getting the gig next season in the championship because as I said earlier

There's a principled element to this, Ewan, where if Marvin feels...

He was told he could get the job next season.

He's now been told to reapply.

There's a principle thing there where he's saying, no, I don't think that's right.

But ultimately, do you think there's another layer listening to what you're saying that even if he was willing to reapply in the most general sense, and even if he was to then get it, do you think you're then, if you're Marvin Bartley, you're almost a bit worried about what that means or why you've had to do that and what that looks like going forward and where the control actually lies?

some really good results and performances in isolation so I think I think he probably merited a crack at next year but if he's been given that assurance and then that's been taken away I can absolutely see why he's walked away from it Just quickly what do you make of like it's three games you're going down anyway but Scott Arfield's in charge clearly a very experienced pro you've got a few of them in the dressing room though Ryan McGowan Danny Wilson in fact it's quite a an ageing group in some respects what do you make of what happens in the next few weeks then?

Come on then, beat the pundit time.

Let's see what you're made of.

You were in about the Partick Thistle team today.

Yeah.

For reasons unknown.

Were they winding Alex Ray up about his Jack Butland shout?

Did you hear it?

It was the best shout I've ever heard in my life.
