I found it difficult to measure the quality of the two teams in the Celtic game.
Think the Pars looked more and more leggy and knacked as the game went on…not surprisingly after Saturday. They’d have had to be a bit wary about resting a load of regular starters and fielding a weak team - doesn’t go down well with the League.
Think it’s Pars 6th game in 3 weeks, Saturday would have taken a lot out of them to be honest.
...and Pars have another 8 to go if they get into the Playoff Final - plus the Cup Final of course.

Well there's a thing - single representatives from the OF.Finally the Scottish press release the SPFL team of the year.
Motherwell & Hearts dominate PFA Scotland Team of the Year
There are five Motherwell players in the PFA Scotland Premiership Team of the Year, with four from table-topping Hearts.
Somerset Park is quite posh these daysThoroughly enjoyed my Friday trip to Perth for the Raith game and League trophy presentation. A straightforward 2-0 win with Saints playing some of their best football of the season…despite lengthy celebrations Tuesday night Wednesday morning (some all day at the races). But tbh…Raith were surprisingly poor given they still had top 4 to play for.
Anyway…tickets bought for last game of the season next Friday evening, and a wee trip to Somerset Park is in the offing. Quite a round trip from Sheffield…
ETA…great atmosphere in and around the ground - around 8,000 attendance with only a few hundred making the short trip from Kirkcaldy. Lots of enthusiasm for the club…hope it holds up next season in what will be trickier times.
I’ve had a look and yes…their North Stand looks very nice…all covered 800-odd seats along the back with standing terrace still pitch side. My lad decided we should stand in the Railway End as we won’t be doing any standing next season, plus its most likely that the ‘lads’ of Fair City United will be standing there making their usual racket,Somerset Park is quite posh these days
Hope you enjoy your visit to sunny Ayrshire
IMO the best route from Gretna is to carry on the A75 to Castle Douglas, join the A713 to Carsphairn, Dalmellington then Ayr.I’ve had a look and yes…their North Stand looks very nice…all covered 800-odd seats along the back with standing terrace still pitch side.

And note to other Scottish clubs…they’ll maybe have not noticed that in neither the league clinching victory on Tuesday, nor the trophy presentation last home match on Friday, was there a pitch invasion. Despite our enthusiasm, especially that of the FCU, everyone was very well behaved. Of course having said that I have to watch and not get carried away at Somerset Park
The big decision is coming up from the M6 whether I cut across from the M74 via Cumnock or Thornhill…I think I know which is a little faster but I know which is probably the prettier…but recommendations welcome. Dont fancy too much going via Dumfries…seems a bit of a roundabout route.
Didn’t see it. If it was deliberate then rules say straight red
Well, I can accept if the rule says a straight red for” goalie deliberately handling outside the area “ , if there is a specific rule for that , ( don’t agree that there should be such a bald rule but that’s for another day):
I think that would probably make the Hibs squad stronger
