MIBBERY – 5/10 – So, there he was, young Bargain Stunt, stopwatch wrecked, and unable to count seconds in his heid – hint; just use ‘elephants’ after each number like in ‘Gregory’s Girl’. Saints got imaginary fouls, imaginary time to delay the game.. All for Bargain Stunt to troll us and impress his growling gammon Zombie Da’. And on they went, officialdom frustrating the Bhoys, taking a last smidgen of embittered, perverse satisfaction from another season of misery, inflating their misplaced sense of superiority…The balloons at the title party.
And then Jamesy burst them all. LOL.

OVERALL – 6/10 – Look, nobody really had an off-day apart from the manager. Individually, as noted above, most Bhoys were competent – the problem lay in lack of cohesion, the collective performance; a bit disjointed, tempo difficult to maintain, final balls sprayed around like some abstract impressionist artwork…
🏆 “The noise, the pride, the passion, the title, the champions: Celtic!”

Couple this with a St.Mirren side in top gear, drilled to perfection, able to nullify most of our laborious build-up and pose us a defensive obstacle we attempted to surmount like Edmund Hilary packing for the Everest expedition by slinging a ladder over his shoulder and slugging from a bottle of brandy; “Ach, it’ll be fine…”

So we stumbled and stuttered… Then produced a fairytale finale to make all the bad stuff go away in one slam of a legend’s boot. And the day, as they say in Paisley, was gay after all…These Bhoys are top dogs for a reason – relentless pursuit of glory, hindered along the way occasionally by mishap or mishits. But as they rammed home today, they’ll dog you until the spectacular end.
