SPFL Tier 2, St Mirren Park, 2/12/17.
What a welcome – and unexpected – three points.
Mind you we’ve apparently played quite well the past few weeks – certainly did at Dunfermline – and with St Mirren having gone down to ten men just before half-time I would have been disappointed not to take anything from the game. But I’d have snatched your hand off for three points before it started.
I was reduced to listening to the radio in the car for snippets and was increasingly worried we wouldn’t score in the second half but Tom Walsh came up trumps and – marvel of marvels – we held out for the win. (If only we’d done that in the past two games we’d only be below Queen of the South* on goal difference.)
Too early to get carried away though but surely we needn’t fear anybody in this league.
Down to earth with a bump next week?
*Edited to add: And Dunfermline, and only a point below Morton! I was only looking at 6th place when I originally posted.
