Fotmob now says volpato due back "in a few days"

Meanwhile parma do not look lile a promoted team. They could challenge for a euro spot the way they are playing. Just need to be a touch more ruthless up front

Big plaudits for Elder today. Good to see Derby fans being positive.

Wonder how things are with Baccus? Surely couldn't have been allowed to travel early. Mansfield have had their next game postponed due to international duties. I believe it's possible for a team to call if it at least 3 are gone. Some teams abuse it I feel when their squad has ample replacements.

There's something about Circati's positioning that seems to prevent any unnecessary scrambling. You've got to watch carefully but he just glides around and isn't far off any Napoli line break. Here comes Lukaku. What a physical challenge this will be.

And right away Lukaku gets goal side of Circati. Flag is up. Circati went for a big jersey tug. This will be good viewing.

Suzuki charges out and it's a second yellow. Outfield player in goal for Parma now. Conte moaning about time wasting. Does he honestly think it won't be added on?

Another goal off a cross

If u want to know why command of pen area is more important than shot stopping this is a pretty good game for that

Souttar starting. Rowles and Devlin bench after midweek games and the manager is in crisis mode. A good thing pre international journey.

Triantis straight into Hibs 11 with Boyle and Miller. Iredale not in squad yet for Hibs.

Rowles being played in a back 3 isn't the best idea. He gets stranded wide and the back 3 are stretched with less wingback support and opponent's have exploited that. The manager is inept and you can see how much more at home Rowles is with Arnold by comparison.

No Irankunda. Hopefully he was on an early flight. Edinburgh based players, Ryan and Souttar will be in Tuesday. Not too much recovery time.

Randers red rescinded. Probably right. Iredale moving a lot trying to get involved. Aab getting the ball into the corners but the passes into the box are easy to defend. Toure moving alright. Slightly overran a good low cross to deflect back but point blank shot blocked. Exciting kind of game.

Cleansheet and plaudits for Souttar.

This high press end to end works well for both our strikers. Iredale more involved, nothing too remarkable, but certainly linking up and using the situation to his advantage. Toure often in good areas but ignored. A slow reaction saw a potential tap in pass from his team mate go begging. Toure would've scored.

Nisbet should've gone to Aalborg because they've got very little in the middle. The manager's days are numbered even as a promoted side I think.

toure a lot quieter than his sub appearances. It can be hard to transition from supersub to starter

Iredale off at hour mark. More involved this game. Definitely needs the window for a friendly and to score. Match fitness should be about there now. Some firm passes and better off the ball movement but if his team mates take forever to whip it in, it'll always be blocked.

I think he's so used to cameos that this role shows how much more work is required. Adapt over time but there's nothing wrong with having a strong final 30 or using the first hour to wear down the opponent; a role often overlooked.
