The Management Committee attended the meeting to extend the Clubs thanks to the players for making the 2012/13 season so successful and for acting professionally in all their dealings with the Club.

Manager Ray McKinnon said – ‘The meeting tonight presented the coaches with the hardest task we have had to face to date. No one likes to see players leave a Club especially when all of the players have performed so well for us this season. I have enjoyed working with everyone of the lads and I am truly sorry to see some of them leave us. We have to be true to our beliefs as we try and build a squad that meets our expectations and style of play and to this end changes must be made. I wish to thank the players that are leaving us and I am sure we will see them again as we now enter the football transfer merry go round. ‘
