From all the interviews from players (and staff), we seem to have the mindset of staying in the present, focus on winning the current game and the league position will take care of itself. All very Zen, but I think its the best strategy as there's no need to put any additional pressure on the players. I have no doubt the team will be well prepared and well drilled for this one, so it's all about executing the plan. With the current team I don't expect to win every game, but I go into every game thinking it's very winnable. This one is no different.

I’m hoping we have this mindset. I’d like for us all to say goodbye to the “punching above our weight” chat. Or what Craigan said today about “we used to go to ibrox scared” p1sh. Statements hidden behind the banner of “being realistic”….. fk realism weve been in the top league for over 40yrs, we should have the attitude that we should be doing better and we should be winning cups. We are good enough to beat everyone else in this league this season…. Go in with the right attitude and we can win any game.

Rangers might go into this game a wee bit overconfident.

I’m not overly confident about this one now, particularly with two postponements potentially taking the stuffing out of our momentum.

That only happens when the arsecheeks are losing.

If we beat Rangers I have a feeling we could win the league...........medication time for grizzlyg 🤣🤣

Best not let that happen then! 😍😍😍

If Rangers beat us here, I’ve got a feeling they’ll go on and win the league.

Each to their own, but for me it’s bad enough that St.Mirren have won the league cup this season without them adding the Scottish Cup to that and getting a double. It’s annoying enough that we’ve gone 35 years without a major trophy without St.Mirren winning three in the last 13 years and with the manager who led us to two finals in the same season but failed to lay a glove on the opponents in both games.

Miller starting again for Udinese today. Good to see him established as a regular now.

If we don't win it, I could not care less who does. I prefer it's not one of the OF, as their fan meltdowns have added to the entertainment this season, but they will still be favourites. Every team bar one, however, is going to lose.

Thank you for articulating my worst fears.

Which was probably correct given the amount of stoppages within the stoppage time.

Agreed. The only real benefit is to allow any niggly wee injuries that players are carrying to settle down, and you dont pick up any more injuries or suspensions. Given that we actually had games that might have been played, it wont have allowed much more prep for this game as we would have been focussed on Dundee and Aberdeen. We are at home however, and with the bigger home supports we have experienced of late, I imagine the atmosphere for this one could be quite tasty.

I feel like we’ve not played in ages and it bothers me a wee bit, especially as Rangers have played two games since our last game and won heavily ( I presume they’ll scud QP today) im never sure that resting up and not having games is a good thing when we are on a good run. Time will tell….

This is probably the best chance we'll have to end that statistic. Team should be fresh after not playing for a week and it's a rare chance for us to beat both of the old firm at home in the same season.

Not beaten them in league at home since boxing day 2001, this would be perfect time to end that statistic. COYW

I see what you did there! 🧡❤️🧡

I doubt if they'll win it but they'll certainly be in the mix. A very good cup team. They can grind out wins, turn up on big occasions and have that invaluable quality needed to win cups - good luck.

40% extra over the allotted time.

So what’s your point then?

Yes I do know that.

You do know that it’s a ‘minimum’ of time added on don’t you? That means that extra seconds/minutes are added on when the ball goes out of play or substitutions are made. Hence longer stoppage time than the initial minimum allocated time.

Well shite! I mentioned score to the wife a few mins ago and she said they’ll get a penalty. I said”No! That’s rangers. With Celtic they just play till they score”. What can i say. 5 mins added amd goal at +7

Should have listened to me
