Mika Biereth’s fantastic season came to a perfect end with SK Sturm Graz winning the Austrian Bundesliga on Sunday.

Our loanee played 87 minutes as Sturm Graz won 2-0 at home to Austria Klagenfurt to win the division by two points, stopping Red Bull Salzburg’s ten-year streak.

This season, Mika scored six times and got five assists on loan at Motherwell, before scoring nine and getting four assists at Sturm Graz, where he also won the Austrian Cup.

It was also a busy week for Kieran Tierney, who was involved in three matches for Real Sociedad.

In the Premier League, Sambi Lokonga’s loan spell at Luton Town came to an end with another 90 minutes under his belt during Sunday’s 4-2 defeat at home to Fulham, which confirmed the Hatters’ relegation from the top tier.
