St Mirren are on a Christmas hangover which lasted past Valentines and through to the end of winter (today). Their nine league games in that period have brought defeats to St Johnstone, Dundee, Kilmarnock, Hearts, Dundee United and Celtic.
The only team outside the top four who have not recorded a win over St Mirren in that time is Ross County, who last met the Paisley side a few days before Christmas. Despite that, there is a buoyancy around Steve Robinson’s side, largely because of results against the teams in second, third and fourth in the table.
You probably didn’t hear, as the result did not materially affect Celtic’s lead, but a week ago, St Mirren beat Newco for the second time since Christmas. They also went to Pittodrie and won 0-3 and are the only team to stop Hibs scoring in their last 14 games, when the teams drew 0-0 earlier this month.
Defeat to Hearts midweek meant they slipped out of the top six with five games to play before the split. Claiming another top four scalp tomorrow is beginning to look crucial to their chances of a close to the season that delivers a good payday.
Our two earlier games against St Mirren this season ended in 3-0 wins for the champions. If anything, the away performance was more convincing. The extra day’s rest Celtic have, combined with St Mirren’s less familiar challenge of playing twice in a week, should be enough to see another sound win for the visitors. After all, the gap between top of the table, and those in second, third and fourth, is as wide as Paisley Abbey.

Aye, freedom of speech.
Vile, repulsive, racist man bangs on keyboard shocker.

Just wondering how the club and fans would be feeling if we were neck and neck with the Huns following that decision last week, it’s easier to wright it off when you’re well ahead of them …….maybe we’ll get a few goals against them at Celtic park without usual scrutiny …. 🤔🤨😂
Aipple

Sorry AT. I missed your enquiry about ‘The Celtic Story’. As others indicated it was a James Handley who wrote it. I’m sure he was a Marist Brother. The book was published in 1960 or ’61.
