Come on Saints (and whoever is playing Dundee).
Had a look that. Only two lines about 5th:
”Whoever secures fifth at the end of the season will go into Conference League qualifying at round two.”
Looked up, and we’d need to win 3 ties to get into the group stages.Finishing 4th makes things so much easier. Even if you lose your first game, you go straight to Conference League play off.
Such a shame that we had such a bad run. That second half at Rugby Park - ouch!

Motherwells top flight run is one of the most impressive, and under rated, achievements in Scottish football IMO.
I do find it a bit odd either Dundee side is put above them in "biggest club" rankings tbh.
Were they not saved by the 10,000 seater rule at one point?
Or something similar?
Did they cleverly go into administration at a time when there were no points deductions either?
That IS impressive!0 -

Just when you think Rangers fans can’t get any worse…
A union flag with CULLODEN on it.

Whilst we have dropped some points against Livi etc it cant also be ignored the decisions that went against us when they were clear cut. The game at Dingwall for example with the clear handball.
Football can be fine margins but you need luck too.
Last minute penalty away to Hearts not given at 1-0 down.
82nd minute penalty home to Hearts not given at 2-1 down.
3 goals chopped off against Hearts in 1-0 home win.
That's 2 points and +5 goal difference - and that's all just against one team
!
Frustrating as those things were, the only decision that has categorically changed a result was the double kick Aberdeen penalty that absolutely cost us 2 points earlier in the season.
Will be very hard to take if we miss out on Europe if we miss out by 2 points.

This could be one of the worst games of football quality wise I’ve seen in years.
Can’t blame pitch or weather either.

Played pretty well in the first half.
Celtic always going to come out like that in second half, and needed to keep it at 0-0 for as long as poss, but think losing Tanser hurt us, with Celtic's first two goals coming down that side.
Was absolutely hilarious watching Celtic get so many soft fouls, and listening to Grant and his mate thinking the refs were out to get them.
The calls for red cards for Strain and Gogic were bonkers.1 -
Bwmono, Tanser and Kiltie now injured. Not good news.

Saints lucky not to be down to 8 men - according to Grant and his co-commentator.

Ayunga's recently signed a new deal and Mandron is our top scorer with double figures but aye, they'll go out on loan.
We have to start Mbappe every week, with Haaland and/or Kane as his partner.
So I think there’ll be limited game time for Ayunga and Mandron, so makes sense for one or both to go out on loan…. To Barcelona probably.0 -

He is the first forward we have had in years that if he gets a 1-on-1 with the keeper I'm reasonably confident he is going to score. One of the best in that situation we have had.
Absolutely!
Miles better than, for example, that guy Olusanya we singed in 2022.
Whatever happened to him?
(All joking aside, incredible work from both the coaching staff and the player himself to make this transformation!)2 -

Is there ANYTHING to be said for having another pitch inspection?
Game suddenly back on at 7.15.
Dundee fans outnumber Rangers fans by 5-1.
STATEMENT!!!!!!!!!!!!1 -

5th won't get Europe if Aberdeen win the cup.
Funnier than the Rangers statement.

Heard one Rangers-leaning pundit on the radio about 1pm saying "This is a disgrace, we have to find a better way to do this, there are people travelling from N. Ireland for these games".
So much wrong about that I don't know where to start.8 -

I feel dirty for even saying this, but I now actually want one of these two kunts to win this game over the other. The away team.
I need a shower.
I used to despise them both equally.
That changed in 2014.

More or less of a penalty than the one Saints weren’t give against Hearts yesterday when VAR asked the ref to the monitors?
0 -
In the cold light of day…
In this fixture earlier in the season the VAR/Ref combination ruled out 3 Saints goals.
Yesterday only two key interventions in Hearts favour.
Progress!

Because he's hopelessly incompetent, not some anti St Mirren conspiracy.
I'd love to believe that.
And TBH, and don't think it's anti-Saints specifically, not sure it'd have happened if we'd been playing Well, St Johnstone, Livvy...0 -

Dallas making a VAR check for a St Mirren penalty to help Hearts run the clock down is some mental gymnastics
Why do you think he did it?
Was never a penalty in a million years.0 -

Thought we were worth a point over the piece but we probably didn't create enough.
Fair play to Hearts, top 6 again for us is a very good season but looks like last year when it peters out again.
I hope the club don't have that attitude.
We could in theory be starting the top 6th 4 points ahead of 6th.
And with 5th hopefully still enough for Europe then we've got to be trying to get that.5 -

I don't think that's a penalty, you've got to wonder what a qualified referee - with a few views at different angles - has seen to call the referee over to look at it.
Dallas absolutely taking the piss there.
It's never a penalty; but A) makes it look like he's being balanced, and B) knocks a couple of minutes off the clock for a team who've been trying to run that clock down.0 -

Awful game.
That free kick in the last minute sums up our performance. Everything we do is far too slow. Toyosi has had a few moments where he looks like he can get at Rowles but invariably ends up on his arse. One of Kilties quieter games as well.
Both teams the same. Try to play fast passing football in these conditions and you leave yourself wide open to an interception and a fast opposition attack.
I understand the caution, but we'll need to start taking chances later if we don't get back into it.0 -
Nothing between the teams except Dallas.
Was it him that gave four penalties against us at Ibrox?
I genuinely thought we'd get the benefit of the doubt from VAR after the 3 goals chopped off in the last home game with Hearts - then I heard who was the VAR official.
It also looked like a handball from Vargas to control it to get the shot off in the first place.
Perhaps Dallas thought that was a separate phase of play?0
