St Mirren will get absolutely nothing from the match officials on Sunday. Lookout for St Mirren players getting booked for their first foul and Rangers players getting away with three or four fouls before a booking. Watch Rangers players fall over on minimal contact and get a foul . SFA and Sky are desperate for Rangers to get three points , they don't want Celtic to open up a massive gap on Rangers . Mr Walsh has a remit on Sunday to ensure St Mirren don't win .

I felt the ref gave Hibs a wee helping hand yesterday . A few moments pretty much highlight this . In one instance in the first half , Olusanya turns his man has is shirt pulled goes to byline and a foul is given against him when the Hibs player should have been booked . Second half , Saints break , Manderon gets the ball in the centre circle and Hibs last defender goes through him with a tackle . Referee ignores , when it should have been a booking. McMenamin booked for first foul in opponents half within a minute of being on . Small robs defender trying to usher ball out and is just about to cross and ref sees imaginary foul . Other times Hibs players just fell and got free kicks which allowed Hibs to have sustained pressure. All these wee decisions helped Hibs get a grip on the game . That said a few Saints players had off days and Baccus made a difference when he came on . Hopefully we get a wee break from the ref on Saturday.

Hope club can work out a way to keep us dry and if possible open up other sections that would otherwise be empty .

He,s becoming quite famous over the last 24 hours . Surprised he,s not been named yet . He,s going to have fun explaining his behaviour when he clocks into work .

It took three minutes and 25 seconds to make that var decision. If they couldn't decide it was offside in a minute the goal should have stood.

Only taken 45 years

But quite possible we could maybe get him on loan for another season .

Last season when we played Hearts we had Main and Grieve up front with very little back up or cover . This season we can make changes that gives us a fresh front three for the last 20 minutes . Great option to have . We will run Hearts ragged .

Might make sense to park at a train station between Glasgow and Edinburgh and maybe get a couple of pre match pints , which will be out your system by the time you get into your car 4 hours later . I'm doing something similar.

Can see Dunne and Baccus in the starting line up .

Always liked him .

I see St Mirren as a team that play football the proper . We get very little from referees and our players are often booked for their first foul . Only reason why Motherwell put us under pressure is because the referee constantly gave free kicks against us every time a Motherwell player slipped . If we have a fair and neutral referee on Saturday Hearts will struggle to beat St Mirren .

Me too . Asked him about it when I met him in hospitality at Ibrox . At the interview he said Saints had a few good players and with the right signings he would have taken us to Europe . Which he did two seasons later with Airdrie . I also wondered what sort of careers Sanderson and Black woukd have had a Love Street as they would have been signed instead of Charnley and Elliott .

Kenny Aird

Great result for St Mirren . Motherwell were unlucky . Though I feel the fact that four St Mirren players were on international duty through the week and played in Mexico , Spain , Cyprus , Kzackstan , Slovakia which I think tired them as the game went on

Did Dale Tilson not play for you about ten years ago .

How are Motherwell doing in tbe league Cup . Best barometer of how good managers are will be after all the teams have played 11 games .

Which is why I don't think Hibs would go for Robbo . They have already paid off a manager and two assistants. I think they would have to pay Gray off and pay Saints compo for OCarroll and Robbo if that were to happen. That's another significant amount of money , which could be a decent transfer budget if say someone like Neil Lennon was appointed. That's what I'm telling myself .

For me Flynn would be a good assistant manager if Dairmid OCarroll was promoted to manager . Would also make every effort to keep Martin Foyle involved .

Think the old firm struggle because they are not used to playing with refs that are neutral .

Throwback to the eighties .

Just seen the tackle on Ayunga in Paisley by a Motherwell defender , actually very similar to Dunnes , where the tackle is hard and from the side . St Mirren didn't make a big deal out of it , though Ayunga was booked , when there should have been a penalty and a booking the other way .

Don't think he played for the first team , but I think he was on our books . First I heard of him was when he scored the winner against us in the Drysburgh Cup final in 1980 .

That's an interesting example as Jonah got booked for being fouled .
