CALMAC – 7/10 MOTM – The skipper’s game. Deep in the doldrums for the entire match, just digging around for some space or time on the ball, not faring well as they swamped him with a cadre of what appeared to be Putin’s bodyguards in stripey taps. Then, as Clancy Drew sucked in the final-blast breath, Calmac hit The Duddies with a trolling spectacular – back to haunt them with a vengeance as he put his Flag Day finale on repeat. Wicked look on his face as he took a deft touch inside a would-be assassin, and teed it up with his next. Then, BOOM!, there’s yer supper, Paisley, and it ain’t the usual Pot noodle and Wotsit well-fired roll, followed by missing-cat kebab. HIS three points tonight.

THE TERMINATOR – 5.5/10 – Almost on it, but not on it; story of young Arne’s Celtic time. Appeared dominant for a spell during the second-half which gave encouragement, But he can’t yet find the rolling confidence to express his talent fully. However, I’ll point this out like I have been doing all season, ad nauseum – having him deep in beside Calmac is still THE strategy which will get us through this campaign with a chance of repeating glory; like I moaned about during all The Snake’s recent tenure. Now Martin’s providing Calmac with that Arne protection and… Well, lo and behold – the skipper is still fresh enough mentally and physically to produce that last-gasp stunner deep into the season’s slog.

HAKUNA HATATE – 4.5/10 – Hmm, Reo on it? Nope. Not yet. Like Arne, flashes of possibility, but then moments of such redacted bewilderment when you wonder if he needs a handler out there with him. Can only get better, surely?
O’Neil id like to think we 5or6 top players out why play into ST Mirrens habds we dont need to go gun ho we let them come to us we made sure we won our fair share of ariel duels won second ball so STMirren had to run all the way back till their next chance when there goalkeeper launches the high ball and if our defence clears it againt ST Mirren hate ball on the ground second half last 25 mins they were tyring 15mins there midfield were out on there feet our final ball let us down should been 3 up clancy his old self never hurries up should have booked ST Mirren players for aggressive tackling another poor performance penalty easy decision CAPTAIN Mc Gregor did he not love that heckled by load mouths to rise above it then two touches anurchits ruined your night to rip your banners up no one gives a fuck you are not the rebels your stupid boys getting a using
