Plans are being drawn up to allow as many as 2,000 supporters into both legs of the play-off double header which will decide promotion to and relegation from the Premiership, while the SFA may consider moving the Scottish Cup away from Hampden to accommodate fans. (Daily Record)

But the world demands to know what they plan to do with the Challenge Cup! When is it to be played? Where is it to be played? How many will be allowed to go to the ground to see it being played?

Momentous moments like this must take priority! 😄

Sounds about right. Ridiculous that we had been screaming out for a creative player for months, and then in a huge game away at Ayr he was thrown in at the deep end, along with playing a very obvious still injured McHattie, I had already wanted Barry Smith out that summer, but after going 3-0 down inside an hour, it was time for Barry to go, and time to get the train back to Kirkcaldy.

On a much more positive note, look how far we’ve come! Super John min!!

Get a statue built for the man where that weeds bit is next to the steps at the ramp emoji7.png

Will need to add the two hats, obviously.

Well, the aim at the start of the season was safety.  It became pretty clear early on that we would be fine, so for me it was about fighting for the play offs.

To be there, with 2 games left, and going for 2nd...is fantastic and testament to the players and staff.  And, obviously, to Mcglynn.

There's still 2nd play to aim for, and the playoffs themselves to compete in...and who knows what can happen.  But tonight I hope the players and management reflect on a job well done this season. 

After the disappointment of last Saturday, to win 2 on the bounce away from home, with 4/5 first team starters out - is massive.

Mcglynn really is a club legend. Two spells with us and both spells he's taken us from being absolutely shite in league 1 to challenging for promotion to the premiership. Absolutely mental that some questioned his appointment.

He was PFA Manager of the Year in 2010-11. Steven Gerrard will win it this year, and deservedly so, particularly if Rangers win the Scottish Cup and go unbeaten in the league, but McGlynn is absolutely pushing him for it. 

To take a side from League One and go straight to the top end of the Championship, with the style of play that we've shown at times, is phenomenal. You only have to look at the number of football clubs in Scotland at the moment who'd swap their current manager for McGlynn in a heartbeat. 

Whilst talk of a statue is obviously a little tongue-in-cheek, he can't be too far away from being arguably this club's greatest ever manager.

He hasn't achieved as much as Nicholls did in that spell from 92-95, but unarguably he's started from a far lower base and a lot less in terms of organisation and definitely in terms of players.

After the season when Arbroath lost the league, I had a fear that we were on the verge of becoming another bog standard League 1 side, like Airdrie.

2 years ago a handful of us watched the Rovers give a guard of honour to Arbroath before Easter was finished.  If you had told me in 2 years time we would have confirmed top 4 finish in the league above..........

Crucially, he has overcame the "never go back" curse. 

He's essentially done what Frank Connor did, but done it twice and quicker the 2nd time round.
