Top of the table specialists

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.

    Is everyone back counting to see if we can win the League against them at Celtic Park?

    Every time a poster reacts or responds to this guy he has achieved his objective. He seeks attention by means of so called shock tactics. Feed him and he will continue to turn up at the table looking for more.

     

     

    Be sensible, you know it makes sense…

    I think he really believes what he is saying so I am not sure if it is just attention seeking.

    The impression I take from any interviews I have seen is that he feels much more comfortable with `slap`.

    Thanks for the feedback,Tontine & ParkheadcumSalford gave a sound answer,as you probably seen.

     

    Must check next time i am in the Mitchell Library

     

    I read Willie Maleys history there few years back,written in 1938(50 year old celebration)

     

    The Celtic story sounds deeper as most of books from 60s where ghost written for players.

     

    Thanks anyway.

     

     

    Hail Hail

    Hot Smoked @ 3.54…

     

    He may well believe what he posts but probably realises no one else does and therefore throws it out there in order to see some sort of reaction…unfortunately he succeeds far too often…

  15. How many ANKLES will be BITTEN by Wee Bazza if his ugly mob drop points today ?

     

    NO Violence or Abuse in the Workplace Bazza….you will do well to remember that….especially if one of your players decides to HIT YOU back ?

    Came back in, saw the huns were losing 2-0, put the game on for a laugh and immediately the huns score. Back aff.

     

     

    The big donkey Casey in the Motherwell defence let a nothing through ball elude him for a gift. Lamentable stuff.
