Oussama Benhaoua puts it in writing
“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at St. Andrews, and it is not being withdrawn.

Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around St. Andrews they have already started talking about him in the past tense.

In brief
- Squad Andreas Klein slips down the pecking order
- Transfer targets St. Andrews ask about Dennis Ademola
- The dugout Oussama Benhaoua without the man who signed him
