Why wouldn't he? Unless there is something I am missing (or unaware of) of course.

The club are committed to going wholly full time next season, as outlined in the Robbie Thomson / Dave McGurn press release.
Kieran MacDonald has a part time contract until June 2022. |

I seem to recall that, sometime previously in his career , Kieran was full-time and that was probably when he was with Hamilton ?
When he signed for us ,we were told that his other part-time employment was in his father's firm and, no doubt , that's where he works still. Depending on his future career opportunities and plans there , if any , he may be willing to have another crack at full-time football. I thought that last Saturday was his best game this season. He appeared to gain confidence to attack as the game progressed , and looked more like the threat he posed last season .
As said , he has a (part-time ) contract for next season , so I am confident the Club will have discussed and (one way or the other) agreed
matters with him , before making an announcement about going completely full-time . John Sim
and the Directors will have covered that situation. This Board is not daft. |

Correct, window thru Sunday night. |
Have seen some comment about the loan window having been extended through the end of March for League Ome and Two plus the Championship, but have seen no verification...anyone? |

I really like the way we are planning ahead, well done the board and manager & coach.
I also wonder what will be happening to the likes of Reagan Hendry? |

Now he is potentially an internationalist, should we not be offering Mendy a contract - or his price tag just gone up

No you're right he hasn't suddenly become better, but he's very much improved from that Dundee game last season and if he's given a new deal, its on the basis that his improvement is enough to compete at this level.
He's had some good games this season and we've all seen less and less bombscare mistakes. I'd keep him around the squad next year assuming Brexit allows for it I guess. |

Guinea Bissau UEFA ranking 119, just below New Zealand and above Tajikistan.
If it was France I'd be more excited but well done to the lad, might give him a huge boost.
They have 2 games coming up, away to Eswatini then home to Congo, he might even persuade some of his team mates to make the move to Raith

I hope the call up helps win him a contract somewhere in the summer.

| Don’t think Nando will be too expensive, so I’d sign him up again happily as a reserve CB behind Bene/Lang/McKay. If we sign Musonda, I’d be a little more thoughtful about it, but as Frankie can backup LB and RB...maybe Mendy would still be a good reserve. |
