St Mirren, as a football club have decided NOT to give Champions Celtic a Guard of Honour at Celtic Park this afternoon, following on from a similar snub from the bitterest of rivals across the city last Saturday afternoon.
This decision apparently was taken not by the football department at St Mirren but in those in the baordroom upstairs. It’s their decision of course and one that will have little or no impact on Celtic this afternoon.
But it is worth pointing out that when Celtic played St Mirren after their League Cup Final win over Hearts in 2013 and were sporting enough to provide a Guard of Honour for then St Mirren captain Jim Goodwin and his St Mirren teammates.
That courtesy and good sportsmanship between the rival clubs will not be reciprocated this afternoon in a decision that edges the Paisley side closer in their behaviour to their nearest neighbours over in Govan.
John Kennedy was asked about the latest Guard of Honour snub at yesterday’s Media Conference , this time by Stephen Robinson’s side, but gave a short and sharp response.
“We can’t really affect that anyway. So it doesn’t make any difference. We’ll just look at our performance go out there and try and win the game. That’s all we do,” Kennedy said.
The snub nevertheless will be noted and remembered, maybe the next time that St Mirren win a trophy, just don’t hold your breath.
Feel the pain. The whole D.O.B country and establishment are in agony !
good luck selling their tickets next season

Hopefull we tank them today to show our respect.
Who gives a flying fuck if St. Mirren or any other team wants to do a guard of honour this season or any other season. The only people who seem to care about it is the fannie’s looking fill inches in their columns, whether that MSM, forums, blogs or podcasts. I really couldn’t care less, nor could the Celtic team. Taking offence on someone else’s behalf is pitiful and best left to the blue morons and their media biased support. Who’ll be thinking about guards of honour when we lift our 3rd trophy this season and world record 8th treble…
HAIL HAIL
KEEP THE FAITH🍀🍀
Honestly couldn’t care less about a guard of honour. Something that has been created by media in recent years to provoke reaction. I do have a recollection though of St Mirren giving us a guard of honour at Love St after we won the league many years ago.
