Games at Celtic Park generally aren’t things to get too worked up about – unless a) they are Scottish Cup finals or b) we manage a rare win.

Livingston are all but down – but only five points covers the four teams from Motherwell in eighth to County in 11th as it stands. With some of those teams coming head-to-head before the split – and weekly meetings between the sides coming up once the league breaks in two – there is an awful long way for the battle to avoid the play-off position to go.
I rather suspect that to avoid going into the split in 11th we’ll need to win at least one of these three games. A tall order? Possibly, but then we’ve seen other teams around us pick up freak results of late. Motherwell at Ibrox and County over Hearts are two cases in point. Look at someone like Zander Clark. It took him until the latter stages of his Saints career – after his double-winning heroics and after several other spells of exceptional form as a top-six Premiership keeper – to get a call up. No cap was forthcoming until he joined Hearts. Jordan Archer, Scott Bain, and even English lower league jobber Craig MacGillivray found themselves in squads first.
Jason Kerr – Captained Saints to the top six twice and a double cup triumph. Scotland instead chose guys like Devlin and Declan Gallagher. Stevie May – Scored 27 in a season while Scotland played Chris Martin up front. Immediately capped upon leaving.
