Quite Ugly One Evening

Christ, what's Paisley-speak for "Super Caley go ballistic, Celtic are atrocious"?

Is it black cab time for Mowbray? All eyes will be on April 10th. Ross County get a result and Mowbray will get his cards sooner than later.

Just for your information, the last time St Mirren beat Celtic in the league - September 9th 1989 - this heap of mind-numbing garbage was number one:


It took me twenty years to forget that song. For re-lodging that bastard song in my head, Mowbray definitely needs to go.

A (previously used) picture tells a thousand words and all that . . .

Tony Mowbray leads R*ngers to their 53rd league title.

And the bloke in the blue is not a young Frank Skinner. He sussed out Mowbray months ago.

FFS, I'm away down the farmer's market.

The St Genevieve Day Massacre?

OK, this is the set up. Since they got beat 1-0 by Seville in early December, R*ngers league form has been as follows:

12th Dec R*ngers 3-0 St Johnstone

15th Dec Dundee Utd 0-3 R*ngers

19th Dec R*ngers 6-1 Motherwell

27th Dec Hibs 1-4 R*ngers

30th Dec R*ngers 7-1 Dundee Utd

That's 5 victories on the bounce, with 23 goals scored and only three conceded. They're leading the SPL by seven points having played one game more than Celtic but also have a goal difference advantage of +16. And stats like that mean something in the SPL.

They're that rampant at the moment that even Kenny Miller is scoring goals. I repeat: KENNY MILLER is scoring goals. He was as surprised as the rest of us and needed to rest his studs on Darren Dods shins, thus missing out on today's match.

Oh yeah, about today's match. Despite Celtic going into today's match on the back of that great escape from Vienna and recent form of 5 wins and 1 draw in their last six home games, it doesn't look good for us. A defence that is currently auditioning for Danny Baker's next football blooper dvd, and Boruc with aspirations to take on the starring role in a film of this footballing legend of yesteryear all adds up to what couild be known in future years as the St Genevieve Day Massacre.

And yet? And yet I haven't been as excited about an auld firm game in a long, long time. Like a Socialist Standard front cover it could be a thing of brilliance or an absolute disaster. I'll be smiling whatever happens. The only thing that could have made today better is if it had been played at Ibrox.

Mid-Manhattan, here I come.
