In his Bookies Corner article for the current issue of CQN Magazine, columnist, Blinkered Views, suggested St Mirren offered good value for a punt on relegation. I spoke to him when he submitted the article and suggested, “Surely Dunfermline?” He agreed Dunfermline were most likely for the drop but they offered no value. St Mirren, on the other hand, were 9/1 for the drop and he made a good case why this was worth a bet.
St Mirren promptly spoiled Christmas for thousands (not your or me) by coming from behind to beat Rangers but that has been their only win in 8 league games. We also don’t need to be reminded that when visiting St Mirren Park, form is a poor guide. Celtic exited the Scottish Cup there a week after beating Saints 7-0 at Celtic Park. They are a team who can raise their game for the big occasion and the visit of Celtic, live on TV, is as big as it gets around Paisley.
Paddy McCourt has enjoyed his visits there and has been key to Celtic collecting the points a couple of times. Don’t be surprised if he makes a match winning appearance from the bench.

Sorry – until just there I thought there was just the one HG – everyday is an education, especially on CQN.
Can’t believe I was the only one to recognise Evan Williams.
I hope he’s not looking in.

Just txt your post to Lennybhoy67. I’m sure he’ll appreciate it.

I am good thanks
I have been to all home and away games since start of November, except Peterhead.
Not going tomorrow, unfortunately, but I will go to Falkirk game .
I also signed up for a 70 mile cycle ride in May, so I need to get the Raleigh Chopper out the garage.
Saw some stuff on twitter today about The bhoys playing Roma in NYC in the summer.
I think I can do a domestic trade off , as the crew all like theatre, so I am about to start seeding ‘lets go back to NYC’, and then once I have them hooked I can drop in that Celtic are there at the same time !
Finally, if you want some music that is a wee bit different check out Folk Grinder – they have a few songs on YouTube, and a whole lot more on SoundCloud.
