Glorious day, played good football on the grass, bunch of youth players came through with aplomb, saw some magic skill and we cuffed our local rivals. What's not to like? I just hope guys like McLean, Turnbull, Maguire, Brown etc become the focus for next season.

I don't think I could have hoped for better in all honesty. I shared the hesitancy some have written of when seeing the team but my concerns were ill founded and, but for a wee iffy start to the second half apart, it was a leisurely and enjoyable afternoon. It certainly made a difference that we still had next week to keep us motivated but Accies looked like they'd down tools and gave, what was an unexpectedly reasonable support for them, absolutely nothing. But then I think a fair amount of that was down to what we were doing. For example I can think of a few occasions where they pressed back so far they had to resort to giving the ball back to their keeper to start again. Was pleased to see Cifti get a goal, albeit it was as easy a finish as he could dream of. His second was altogether more tricky and for once the close control that can often see him land on his arse having lost the ball, was perfect and he tucked away the ball with aplomb. A real shame he couldn't get the third to get his hat-trick. Nice also to see Aldred get on the scoresheet - another new goalscorer for us in a season where so many have chipped in. I can't remember where I read it or heard it during the week the statement was made about us having the lowest average starting age in the top flight this season and that average might well have been nudged a little lower again today. Turnbull once more looked assured in midfield, Maguire was pretty dominant at times and impressed by showing his versatility in a couple of different defensive systems. Chucky wasn't bad either and latterly it was good to see another off the conveyor belt in Liam Brown. Again as already stated a day of lots of positive with the clean sheet, no new injuries and giving a few youngsters some game time. The "lap of honour" was toned just right following the game too. A good degree of mutual appreciation with a sense of some work still to be done and the celebrations not too over the score. We certainly rounded off the league campaign in good style. Now, to Hampden...

Really? He rolled a great ball across the goal line, almost scored with the header at the first and made the overlap for the second. I thought he looked sharp throughout.

All of this. Hoorah. Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk

It’s really about the town getting behind the local team. Like you would hope they would do for an Olympic athlete or someone who can bring some pride to the local community, some positive feel good factor. Unfortunately We are still tainted by this whole religious bigotry and stratification that, somehow, it is a problem for the local community to get behind the local team for fear of upsetting a few people who base their football team allegiance on religion. Sucks!

Also missed our 20th clean sheet of the season a club record I guess for the new Premiership ? Fair enjoyed that today. The sun shone and we humped the wee team from across the river. I will be honest when I saw the line up I did expect the worst with so many 1st team regulars missing. What do I know........

I agree a shop (if they wanted to) in Motherwell should just have MFC memorabilia to support the local team in a national competition and not worry about "causing an offence". I wouldn't stop visiting a local shop in East end of Glasgow if it had Celtic stuff. We live in a society with snowflakes who just want to get offended at anything and people pussy footing around which is enabling them.

Time to boycott them and only shop in Aulds...

Grow a set of balls. Your shop is in Motherwell, not Glasgow.

McDonald's is owned by Celtic fans but they've got claret and amber balloons up.

Looks like a good afternoon: 1) Secured 7th place (£££) 2) Beating rival club comfortably 3) Game time for some youth players (or If we are lucky, future stars!) 4) Resting many players for cup final 5) No injuries 6) Winning is always a confidence booster

Lack of goals is due to a huge lack of creativity in the midfield. I'd rather we sorted that out next.

Your havin a laff . Those open minded ,honest upstanding members of the scottish community. Aye right. They have probably orginised a fans display at the final naming and shaming aforementioned shop.
