It is a week to celebrate. Everything is looking rosy in West Lothian.

Big Dom has announced that next season we go back to amber-and-black strips — and about time, too.

It will be good to see the back of those hideous jinxed white strips. I'm not a believer in luck but this is the worst season we have had in our history at the same time that we change the strips.

My sympathies go out to Steve Paterson. I hope he overcomes his personal problems at Pittodrie.

That does not excuse his club's way of doing business, however.

The way Aberdeen are approaching players out of contract is disgrace. This rule should be rewritten before something serious happens.

Scott Patterson is the latest target. Aberdeen have still to play Thistle, and with both teams in a relegation dogfight, how will this affect Patterson's performance?
