St Johnstone have gone five games without a goal – and that includes a home game against Hamilton. They remain in the League Cup, but if they beat Hibs next week, will remarkably have reached the final after only facing lower league opposition. Their only Scottish Cup game against top-flight opponents ended in defeat.
What they can do is defend better than Hamilton, or several others in the league. They kept Celtic to three last month (which these days is an achievement), before keeping a clean sheet against Hearts. Only Celtic, Aberdeen, Hearts and Partick have conceded fewer.
Tomorrow’s game is one Celtic will be confident of winning, but chances will not be as easy coming as they were on Tuesday night.
I get it. The SFA have guidance which suggests New Douglas Park, one of the smallest grounds in Lanarkshire, should be the venue for our Scottish Cup game against East Kilbride. With 6,000 seats it is less than half the size of Fir Park, which is less than 3 miles away. Moving the game to Fir Park would generate a significant amount of much needed money for grassroots football in Scotland.
Think about that……. generate money for grassroots football in Scotland. Do the decent this and move this game to Motherwell. If you want to register for a ticket, do so here.
The more who register, the more reason the SFA have to agree to Fir Park as the venue.
Keep an eye on the game at Pittodrie tonight. I watched 10-man Aberdeen come from behind away to Ross County last week, they were very impressive, but our nearest challengers have developed a blind spot against Dundee.
Three points and a clean sheet tomorrow, please, Celtic.

I understand there is a need to moderate the blog and I applaud you for the time and effort as well as the money, personal sacrifice of family time you have put into this site. But that said I believe some of the adverts, I realise that are out with your control, that front up each page of the blog now-a-days are not exactly within what I would term a family friendly site.

well done EK.
Roy Croppie,
Those photos evoked great memories. Behind Bertie Peacock is one of our unsung heroes (at least one of mine): Dunky Mackay. Great right back. Imo, only Danny McGrain comes near him in sheer class.

Those ads are set at family friendly by myself and back by Paul.
We are the ONLY football site that asks for this restriction and the agency thinks we are a little bit odd.
We have removed loads of these and have stated that they will get one of Paul’s red cards if our wishes aren’t respected.
All the MSM sites have these.
Only CQN complains apparently.
I will remind them / threaten them again on Monday.
Marspapa:
Good to see you posting…:)
Catchye soon Pal.

Don’t forget,
there should be a concerted effort to get rid of all the fannies administering our game….not their game…..OUR GAME…..the publics game ( was gonna say the peoples game…;-)) )…..but I guess we’re all running out of steam….hoping court judgements in the future will relight our fires ( no Roy….not a request for em, that boy band )….so be it ;-))

Roy, David Cattenach didn’t play that much for the first team, either at right back or centre back.
David looked out for George after he left us according to George ‘s book.
I live in hope that we see us bring through more players with the ability George had.

Cheers for info and good to hear request has been made. Hopefully they respect your requests.
