Think Killie fans are just anxious for the post-split fixtures to come out so they can decide if they're giving Celtic two or three stands.

Welcome to the club Brian, we're getting bought by Americans and we're playing away to Dundee behind closed doors in Airdrie on Monday. By the way- Stuart was wanting a quick chat with you.

Aye I wasn't planning on going anyway but I'm glad Caldwell is making a fuss about it because it seems absolutely mental to me that Motherwell or Dundee fans could be barred from a game because of a waterlogged pitch on the other side of the country.

Am I missing something that makes Airdrie on a Monday afternoon a more logical solution than Fir Park/McDiarmid/Almondvale with fans on Saturday or Sunday?

They're making a Theo Bair biopic

Oh aye. I should probably have realised that not many Craig Brown sides won games 8-1.

It'll be like one of those Craig Brown Europa games.

I've also not been following the finer details since I found out it won't be at Hampden and lost interest but does it not basically absolutely have to be played this weekend if they want to have the split sorted on time?

I'm viewing this as a dead rubber for us so won't be going but I really hope it does end up being getting played somewhere else for the novelty.

It's not exactly something I keep track of or think about particularly often. I just associate Killie with being one of the teams who gave over two stands to the OF at times.

I know it won't be at Hampden as QP are playing but I wonder how prohibitively expensive it is to rent for a game. You can imagine someone like Killie or Livi inventing some excuse to play an OF home game there and sell 40,000 tickets.

Would Dundee like a loan of a few dollars towards a new pitch?

Where's the ambition in fan ownership? We could have an empire by now. Motherwell fans have owned Motherwell for what, 8 years? Why don't we put bids in for Airdrie, Accies etc and go from there?

Hope he buys us.

If we can get one last green as f**k Theo Bair one I'll start one when we play you post-split

When I first read this I took it to mean there had been a minute's applause at the weekend for RG and his graphs or something ffs

I'm fine with it for anybody associated with either team- home or away- be it players, board members, fans etc. It feels a bit like it's creeping in to a point where anybody in the "football world" gets one now, though? I remember noticing it with Walter Smith a few years ago- obviously a greatly respected figure in the game etc, but it was hardly a noteworthy or tragically young death, so I've never grasped why there has to be some sort of half-arsed performative tribute at every ground in the country rather than just the clubs that individual was actually associated with. Looking this up to double check I wasn't just completely havering, it does turn out our mamager at the time was Graham Alexander who obviously played under Smith for Scotland, and Scottish football is obviously a fairly small world so it does make sense that there will likely be a lot of people at any given game who'd have some sort of personal connection to the deceased. It doesn't massively bother me and it's nice to be nice etc but I think I'd ideally rather it was scaled back a wee bit.

We've scored and conceded the exact same amount as Hibs but are 5 points off them in the table which I think is pretty revealing. They've taken scuddings off the Old Firm which we haven't but they've probably been a bit more consistent against everybody else.

I've never seen a single second of the game as I was on holiday at the time but losing 2-0 at Ibrox when we were top of the league and they were midtable in the 3rd division is an all-timer. Don't think I'm alone in never really forgiving McCall for it.

I thought the SLO guy getting interviewed at HT was Keith Lasley at first

Hopefully just a one-off due to a pretty stop-start few months for him but Halliday was miles off it today. Like I say, hopefully a one-off but also- let's cancel his PCA.

Something I thought was very odd was the way we started pretty brightly- after about 10 minutes I thought we'd win comfortably- and then seemed to remember that we'd had two weeks off and suddenly the passes became slacker and everybody looked a bit off the pace. I'm not saying Kettlewell is blameless but I think central defence right now is more of a personnel issue than a tactical one. I like Casey, Bevis, SOD and McGinn individually but hopefully next season we're only playing at most two of them at any given time. Tbf I was amazed Bevis didn't give away a penalty at any point in that second half as there were a few situations where that's the usual outcome.

Today's results just about secure safety and put Top 6 out of reach. Couldn't really blame the team if they decided to put their feet up and give Dundee and Hibs a couple of easy wins pre-split.

Fair enough we might never score against St Mirren again
