So was I, and I was watching the highlights not knowing the score.

Great result for Scotland - Spain are a very strange team and Scotland certainly took advantage of them dropping

The first stupid decision of the day goes Celtic's way.

Kyogo is some finisher.
And Tavernier takes a mean free-kick! Completely different style to PL games - twice the speed and half the control! Some daft tackles and a classic example of simulation! Biggest question is how many players each team finishes with!

Celtic never got going and easily one of their worst performances of late. A wins a win and that just about cements the title
Or maybe they were somewhat nullified by Rangers' tactics. Is that the usual pace at which they play - I've not seen many Celtic or Rangers games (and missed 3 of the goals flipping to and from The Masters!) but it seemed far too frenetic, certainly much moreso than PL ones which are comparatively pedestrian most of the time! Perhaps it's simply an OF style - the spectaors seem (to me) to be actively encouraging aggressive (cf positive) play!

Things you wish you'd never said - McCoist first half - "the difference in having Davies and Souter at the back compared to the likes of King and Sands is absolutely unbelievable." 🤣🤣🤣

Love the hysteria this fixture generates, although it’s fairly tame in here compared with other parts of the internet. When I worked in Glasgow, normally sane office colleagues turned into basket cases for a week before and a week after!

…or tell anyone who asks that you are a St Johnstone supporter…for me that had always elicited a good guffaw or two… some words of sympathy - and a free pass.

Poor decision in my opinion at this stage of the season.
By all means re-evaluate at the end of the season.

Can’t see the sense in that decision. Wouldn’t be surprised if this backfires and they get right sucked in to the relegation battle.

St Johnstone do not sack managers on a whim, or even if things are not good, indeed as a club it is extremely loyal to its managers and gives them as much time to sort things out that they could ever need.
The sense was that the the fans had been lost; the team was playing absolutely dire football, and so many selection decisions were just baffling. Davidson has spent tons more money on transfers and new player wages than any manager in the history of the club - on what and to what end…this? We have the players but it’s just a shambles and has been for months.
St Johnstone probably only need to win two games to avoid a relegation playoff battle and the club only scraped it last season; and the only reason we scraped it last season that an on-loan forward hit a streak of scoring. The way things are two wins seem as likely as finding out the moon is made of cheese.
Chuck into the mix that the club is up for sale with the current owner Steve Brown seemingly not particularly bothered about things (see the Rangers fiasco) when his father Geoff was passionate, totally committed and did wonders for the club, plus what price a Championship club as opposed to a Premier League club. Davidson would have guessed that a new owner would be looking to bring in a new manager in any case so best he just parted on good terms - for some reason it has just gone very badly wrong.
That said the fans say a full and heartfelt thankyou to Callum for the most astonishing and never to be repeated season in the clubs history - indeed the feat of a club outside of the ugly sisters ever again winning the cup double being the unlikely side of unlikely.
And you have to take Faddy’s thoughts with a little bit of a pinch of salt as he and Callum are good mates, and so he would of course stand up for his pal.

..and a picture I suggest very few Scots ever - even fans of Rangers, Celtic and Aberdeen - have had taken. It was such an amazing and unlikely combination of events that saw us holding both trophies, just me; my Mrs, and the St Johnstone commercial manager taking the photies.Lookin good Hugh, a once in a lifetime picture.
