Just read an article stating we will have 24 players out of contract at the end of the season, 27 if you include the loan players, wow, that's a lot.
Quite a rebuilding job for whoever is going to be in charge.
Who do you think deserves another contract?

I think the two players we really want to keep (Grivosti and Naismith) will most likely not be here next season.
Paton, Mckay, Hylton and Shaw have probably done enough to stay. The rest? Either poor or keep getting randomly dropped so it's hard to judge them (like RCC).

Keep
Laidlaw- been solid this season and happy to keep him as no1 with another keeper challenging him in that spot
Naismith- no explanation needed , class act
Randall- I think for the most part when he’s played he’s been decent, injuries are a concern but I don’t see us getting much better for a back up right back
Morris- good defender, injury prone and would only keep as a bit part player as he can’t be relied upon week in week out
Iacovitti- he’s been shaky at times but still young I believe he will grow into a decent CB
Draper- always affects the game when he plays , really rate him and miffed as to why he’s not played more
Paton- frustrating at times but still young enough to iron mistakes out , would rather he was an impact sub though rather than a starter
Spittal- has looked good whenever he has played since January, a useful player to have in the squad
Hylton- been great on several occasions, why he doesn’t play more is very odd thinking from Hughes
Shaw- has been good this season and weighed in with goals , again unsure why he’s not playing more
McKay- no signs of slowing up yet he is still a good standard of forward and usually takes his chances when they arise
Borderline
White- has scored a couple and assisted a couple seems to blow hot and cold , possibly worth keeping as he gives us something different
Gardyne- can affect games like the way he did on Saturday but can also look completely past it at times too , maybe keep as impact sub but that’s probably more sentiment than sense
Vigurs- played in the right system he’s still a class act , the problem being we can’t really afford to play in a way where he’d be protected , probably get rid I’m afraid
Charles cook- personally I have liked the look of him always brings an aggression and a bit of pace , not bothered either way though
Watson- was epic in the season we won the championship and started fine this season but recently he looks to be showing signs of slowing down and has been at fault for several goals , probably ditch
From the loan players I’d happily have Lakin and hjelde back , Hilton hasn’t played and Kelly hasn’t really lived up to hype
Whatever happens and whichever league we are in we have a huge rebuild and I just hope it isn't left to Hughes....

4 loan players now back to their own clubs, Ross laidlaw signed up for next season, I wonder how many of the remaining 23 out of contract will take up the offer of a new one given the controversy surrounding the new manager, it's going to be a far more serious atmosphere around the club than the happy one under John Hughes.

Hearing rumours Midge, Draper and Billy have not been offered new deals.

Think Mckay and Midge were still worth deals. Draper though has certainly declined physically since he's been with us. He's not the player he was at Caley.

Has anyone got an updated list of players out of contract please.
Iacovitti, spittal and Charles-Cooke, plus all the loan players, can’t think of any others, h. Paton maybe.

Paton is 100% up at the end of the season. Not overly bothered if he keep him or not. Hasn't really progressed like I wanted him as a player. He's now a mediocre attacking midfielder and a mediocre number six.

Could be disastrous if that is too be believed which states Baldwin and Cancola are also out of contract don’t want to be losing either of them

I believe Cancola was an 18 month deal, so his will be up.
Baldwin is 100% here for another season at least.
