Did he also not go down very easily?

A tall order for Falkirk as they'd need to win their 3 remaining games and we'd need to lose all three. If Hibs lose one of their remaining games then we'd almost certainly finish 4th.

Celtic now scored.

Could be down to several factors Joe, as you hint. The pitch was certainly one. I think Falkirk are a better all round team than us and have the playing squad to mix things up and vary tactics. We, on the other hand are a better pure footballing side, if that makes sense. We have deficiencies in the squad which have come to the fore of late. For example, no cover for left back and a lack of strikers. I know Thor is still is still realtively untested and injured to boot. With quite a few players leaving in the summer Nicholson, Halliday, Gordon etc. it will allow us to address outstanding lacunas.

Not a great kick off time for many but there's no reason why we shouldn't attract 10,500 fans. Hopefully, the online ticketing problems will be sorted out in time.

Presumably, Falkirk went to great lengths to ensure that the surface was kept madeira cake dry for days beforehand?

Is Eli Just preparing for the World Cup?

Time for a few changes to freshen things up?

It might seem odd, but I think our next 2 games will be the easiest of our post split fixtures. Yes, Hibs have indeed got 2 players suspended for the Celtic game. The result of that fixture will go a long way to determine the final pecking order. I'd like to think that the players will be up for our final 2 home games, but we'll see. As we found out again, pre match talk is no substitute for matchday attitude.

Olly Whyte scores again for Stenhousemuir.

If Hibs beat Falkirk and us and take one point off the gruesome twosome that would be enough. In the short term, they'll want to preserve their Euro spot by burying Falkirk.

Today was always going to be a huge mountain to climb for us and the result shouldn't have surprised anyone. Once again McGlynn has got the the better of JBA. It was possibly the hardest of our remaining 4 games. I think we're on the beach for several reasons and its up to Hibs now how much they want that 4th spot. If we can avoid hammerings in our next 2 games, I'll happily go Easter Road for the final game 3 points ahead of Hibs and not care about the result.

Surprise surprise. Credit whre its due though he is good at it unlike Slattery. Won them a penalty at Fir Park as well.

To be fair, he's not a full back.

My feelings too. Some decent lads there. No sympathy for Kettlewell after the way he left us and tainted the fans.

I'd take a draw right now. Make no mistake this will be a very tough game and will pose JBA some searching questions. That said, he seems very motivated for this one.

5 ex and 1 current. Declan Gallagher concedes crucial penalty as SK steers his team to automatic relegation. Uncle Roy won't be happy.

Lets hope that Filip Lissah behaves himself tomorrow.

I hope McGhee is given a chance. Very well thought of in Dundee and as a friend said to me "He'd run through a brick wall for us and never gives up". Despite our undoubted quality, thats maybe a skillset/attitude we've lacked a little this season. In his sporadic brief appearances for us, he hasn't let us down.

I think thats it. Scottish football is a pretty small and parochial system and anything which upsets the apple cart isn't welcomed.

East Kilbride manager should have been a stick on nomination.

Only one objection to the proposed plans. The Sun however, covers it in depth and makes an issue of it.

Talk on P & B that Paul McGinn let slip that Callum Slattery is away at the end of the season. If proved true, that won't surprise anyone. He has his faults, but has been a good player and servant for us, intended or not. I wouldn't usually say this of a good player but I hope he does move on, for his own sake. He's a marked man and needs a fresh start.

10 minutes added on time yesterday after 7 being being announced at the end of normal full time. Thats highly unusual. The standard announcement is "a minimum of X minutes" but very, very rarely does that get extended, despite late hold ups. I can't recall the last time that happened.

Yes, a great save, and a great block from Jordan McGhee. Its interesting that he's being preferred to Liam Gordon.
