| 321. Author: wee eck Date: Wed 27th Aug 2025. 21:09 Anyone who thought we were going to be able to sign an injury-free equivalent of Kane was dreaming. Any such player will be playing at a higher level than the Scottish Championship and why would he want to drop down? Reply |

| 328. Author: Hunter78 Date: Wed 27th Aug 2025. 21:36 But I thought the new owners were signing Ollie Palmer, Jason Cummings, Simon Murray, James Forrest, Martin Boyle, ordan Rhodesā¦..and we end up with Rudden? Shows how far off the mark this forum actually is Reply |
| 329. Author: Berkey Date: Wed 27th Aug 2025. 21:37 Hmm unsure about this one, not the worst signing we could make but if itās all thatās left itās another body in and you live in hope another might come in to enable young to go out on loan. If weāre signing him I assume itās on loan or are livi happy to let him go already? I severely hope we are not paying a decent fee for him?

If the rumours are true Neil Lennon must think he has qualities he can utilise and that`s all that matters really. Reply |
| 332. Author: PARadise Date: Wed 27th Aug 2025. 21:42 Doesn`t catch the imagination for me but thought he was a handful when he broke through with Falkirk. Will see how it transpires but rudden plus one more wouldn`t be the worst of situations for where we are. Reply |
| 333. Author: wee eck Date: Wed 27th Aug 2025. 21:43 `Last time I looked Livingston are in the Premier League and are at a higher level unless Iām dreaming.` Maybe so, but I don`t think anyone reckons Rudden is an injury-free equivalent of Kane. He might be the best compromise in the circumstances though. Reply |
| 334. Author: RossDAFC88 Date: Wed 27th Aug 2025. 21:45 Hunter78, Wed 27 Aug 21:36 From that list, the only name I genuinely heard we were in talks with was Ollie Palmer. While discussions were ongoing, he came off the bench for Wrexham against Hull and bagged two goals, then everything went quiet on his end. The rest felt like background noise, especially the Stuart Armstrong rumours. Interestingly, The Courier is now reporting that Rudden is set to sign permanently, which seems odd given he only joined Livingston a month ago. It does suggest the club isnāt keen on short-term loans. Theyāre also reporting that Lennon is still actively looking to bring in a second striker before the window closes. Reply |

| 336. Author: Kdy Par Date: Wed 27th Aug 2025. 21:52 RossDAFC88, Wed 27 Aug 21:45 Interesting that Palmer hasnāt played a single minute or even been on the bench since scoring those two goals. Reply |
| 337. Author: Jeffery Date: Wed 27th Aug 2025. 21:54 What I`ve read from other fans in the past about Rudden is that because of his size, managers (or teammates) believe they can launch the ball up to him, then use him to hold up the ball and bring others into play. Unfortunately he`s really poor at that. Reply |
| 338. Author: RossDAFC88 Date: Wed 27th Aug 2025. 21:56 Kdypar, when I first heard about Ollie Palmer, I kept tabs on him hoping weād make a move. He wasnāt getting any game time, so it felt like something could happen, but then communication from his side just went quiet. Now with Rudden coming in, there are reports on Twitter suggesting weāre still in the market for another striker before the window shuts. Reply |
| 339. Author: AlterPar Date: Wed 27th Aug 2025. 22:00 The Raith fans I know describe him as very lazy and just not a very good footballer. Watch him score 20 this season for us. Reply |
| 340. Author: GJS93 Date: Wed 27th Aug 2025. 22:01 circumstances change, at a guess they signed Rudden to either replace or as cover for Yengi who they had been trying to sell all summer, that doesnt happen and he ends up signing a new contract so Rudden is almost not required by them now. Lennon said weeks ago about wanting two strikers, see if he says he still wants another if Rudden is coming. Reply |
