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.

I notice your last recommendation – Foster the people – pumped up kicks – is now ubiquitous and rightly so – great tune.
Incidentally theres a good (semi) acoustic version on one of Dermot O’Learys Saturday Sessions whch Mrs TLWIO is into – theyre a bit of a mixed bag but have their moments eg Athlete doing a great stripped down version of La Roux’s Bulletproof.

All very close with Hoops Am I to follow!Will Jobo be as inspired as last week!
SOAL – there was very little on during Celtic Connections this year that made me want to buy tickets, but I thought about the Big Dish. I wasn’t a big fan though, unlike Love & Money who were brilliant at the Concert Hall this time last year.
And so was Tom Jones doing the Praise and Blame stuff….!
TTT – GL2 was a new romantic, so it could be his beloved Spandau and Adam Ant….
