I will preview the St Mirren v Rangers game if you want?

I didn't think their keeper made any outstanding saves, if he had let any of them in I would have considered it a blunder. However on saying that a least we did have a few attempts last night and there is then the chance that their keeper might not deal with it.

I have been working and didn't see it in fact just discovered the result and the stats seem to tell a familiar tale.
We had 61% possession and 19 shots at goal against 7 for Killie. We had 7 shots on target against 2 for killie and 13 corners against 4 for Killie. We're outplaying these teams and failing to win. I just don't know what to make of it.
Apart from our goal, which was a deflection we didn't create any clear-cut chances.

Neither did I tbh but I did hope we could keep close to the top for as long as we could but now I can't even see that happening
Can we even finish second when we keep dropping points? Surely finishing a strong second must be our aim.

No spark, no flair, we are going backwards.

We need to sort the midfield out , it's pretty obvious he doesn't have a settled group , it's just not working just now .
Has Coulibally got a free pass into the team every game?

Terrible defending at Killie's goal - powderpuff.

We have signed two players from Croation side Osijek, Barasic and Grezda, and Katic a Croation player. Barasic and Grezda seem to be suffering from long term injury problems and Katic after a bright start cannot get a first team place. Fair enough taking a punt on one player from Eastern Europe but three?

It's not just Sunday. We've been running out of steam for a while now. Rapid Vienna was the high water mark.
Can't agree the Euro games give our players and fans a lift. We should have a big enough and good enough squad to cope.

Our EL run is becoming an obstruction to making progress in the league. We needed the money but now the sooner it's over the better.
I wouldn't blame Sunday's defeat on our European involvement.

By the way despite the much hyped defensive revamp in pre-season, in our 11 domestic games so far we've only managed 3 clean sheets, all at Ibrox and they came against the bottom two and Ayr. And the bottom two (St Mirren and Dundee) can hardly hit a barn door this season with 5 goals in 10 games each. It's pretty concerning stuff because so far there has been no improvement on last season defensively in domestic competition.
Yes our domestic performance is no better than last season. Only our European run has given us an uplift and hope that things are getting better.

It must be so frustrating for Gerrard: to see players struggle to do things that he would do so easily.
Yes that's the point, we don't have enough quality, particularly in midfield.

Our final ball was terrible all afternoon.

Sadiq starts.
That's a big gamble. He has looked clueless so far.

SG has just said it could prove to be a valuable point come at end of the day, I tend to agree with that, Spartak are a good side and we continue to improve.
Just compare it to last season in Europe ☺️.

Disappointing. If only Grezda had taken that final chance (I would have slotted it in?).

We're doing ok but haven't created any clear-cut chances. Coullibally has been a bit disappointing but we're up against much better opposition than we usually face in the SPFL. Hopefully Morelos screws the heid after getting booked.

A mate gave me his ID and password to use BT Sport. You get to use three devices so if you have a spare. From a smug bastard ?.

He showed honesty in admitting his pathetic attempt to defend at Hamilton's goal. Hopefully he stays injury-free and improves.

Missed the whole game but just saw the score and was more than happy. Based on the score I started reading the posts on here expecting a positive review of the game. 4-1 flatters by all accounts. Kind of glad I missed it now.
Until the final minutes watching the game was a painful experience.

Let's just beat Hamilton and see how the other results went.

Don't BT have the rights to televise both games live, so with extra time and penalty kicks one game must start early and one late if on the same day?

One of the earliest games I remember between St Mirren and Rangers was the 1962 Scottish Cup Final. The semi-finals had Rangers beating Motherwell 3-1 at Hampden, at the same time as the Grand National.
Meanwhile at Ibrox St Mirren were 3-0 up against Celtic when their fans invaded the field. Eventually order was restored and the game ended 3-1 St Mirren. The final was a fairly straightforward 2-0 win for the Gers with Brand and Wilson scoring.
Our team that day was: Ritchie, Shearer, Caldow, Davis, McKinnon, Baxter, Henderson, McMillan, Millar, Brand and Wilson --
What a team!
George McLean stood out for St Mirren that day and we duly signed him. He was obviously a talented player but did not live up to his promise. He and Jim Forrest never played for Rangers again after the Berwick Rangers defeat.
Anyway, onwards and upwards. St Mirren will obviously play a defensive set-up against us on Saturday so hopefully we provide some attacking threat.
St Mirren have a new Manager in charge, Oran Kearney, who was appointed in September after the sacking of Alan Stubbs. The former PE teacher had a successful spell at Coleraine winning the Irish Cup for the first time in 15 years and, just before leaving, brought about a 3-0 win against reigning champions Crusaders.
Kearney brought swagger and ambition, declaring on his appointment, "I want to win the league because the day I started [at Coleraine] I wanted titles and trophies."
Clearly, St Mirren are nowhere near that level, and their start has been bumpy to say the least. St Mirren have lost 6 of their last 7 matches, although they did manage a 0-0 draw against Celtic in Kerney's first game in charge -- perhaps a warning if Rangers don't approach this game with the right frame of mind.
Hopefully Tavernier recovers his form after an indifferent spell. I expect the team to be along the same lines as Wednesday, although with McGregor coming back between the posts.
Possible XI:
McGregor
Tavernier - Goldson - Worral - Flanagan
Halliday - Coulibaly
Candeias - Arfield - Kent
