Watson on their full back from the header. They claimed for it, went to VAR.

I honestly can’t see anything but anyway who cares. Great result

I believe it was Collum on VAR. That had me worried until I saw the full time come up on Bet365

Great day. Nice walk around Luss. Lunch in Village Bistro , coupon up and Killie get a result at Parkhead. Just need City to beat Chelsea and it’s a full house

Wtf is wrong with some people? This coming so soon after the Dunfermline scumbags attacking the Raith Rovers supporter with disabilities!

Hope they catch those responsible and I know the decent St Mirren supporters are outraged!

It’s justified, we have been a shadow of last year. Piss poor to watch. They want to rub it in. We have dropped zero points against Rangers. It’s slob all teams with budgets of a bag of shrapnel. Fucking unforgivable. If it was any other manager, he would be out the door. Then again, our board would bury their heads. It’s what they do best. They are our biggest threat.

If it wasn’t for your pet officials Hearts would be your biggest threat for second!!

So many wee scumbags amongst these wee "ultra" groups. It's a shame because they do bring some positives to the game but because of stuff like this and stuff I've witnessed first hand I associate them as being groups of wee neds.

Killie lot broke seats at Motherwell the other week, absolutely no need for it.

Aberdeen fans being Aberdeen fans…..

Former Aberdeen striker Christian Ramirez says he was goaded by Dons supporters trying to provoke a reaction as they filmed him after harassing his wife and children. Things got so bad he was hospitalised for three days.

The 32-year-old suffered a panic attack in December 2022 as the “uncertainty of everything” at the Dons took its toll.
Ramirez also explained how he was goaded and family abused by a group of Aberdeen supporters after a game at St Johnstone, who he says hoped to provoke a ” negative reaction” as they filmed the striker.

It was the same group who yelled at Ramirez’s wife Valerie as she walked to her car with their two young daughters at McDiarmid Park.

Now at MLS club Columbus Crew in the United States – where he won the MLS Cup in December – Ramirez is thriving and in a “completely different mental space” from that dark period late in his year-and-a-half-long spell with the Reds.

He said: “Towards December (2022), I was in the hospital in Aberdeen for three days.
“I think it was just a climax of everything that had gone on.
“The uncertainty of everything.
“To learn from that and be in the mental space I am now, I feel really thankful for everyone around me.
“It is not something that is easy to confront.
“I have spoken to people and done my due diligence on getting better.
“I’m in a completely different mental space now.
“I have grown as a footballer and also as a person from that.
“It was a tough stretch.”
He netted 15 goals in all competitions that season – but his Pittodrie career started to turn sour under Glass’ replacement Jim Goodwin, who was appointed in the February and then signed Bojan Miovski to lead the attack in summer 2022. Ramirez’s No.9 shirt was even transferred to Miovski, with US international Ramirez suffered the ignominy of being handed the No.99 shirt.

A low-point came following a match at St Johnstone when a group of Aberdeen fans shouted at his wife Valerie as she walked to her car with daughters Nova and Zara.
They later turned their attention to Ramirez.
He said: “Any footballer can take judgement and criticism on the pitch.
“But when a situation happens when your family is attacked like that…
“My two daughters didn’t know what’s going on and my wife is just trying to enjoy herself and travel down with Jonny Hayes’ wife and kids to enjoy the game.
“Afterwards I found out those few that did that (to his wife) immediately came over to where the players were exiting for the bus.
“They tried to egg me on while they were filming.
“They were trying to get something negative out of me and I’m glad I didn’t take a bite on to it”

Scotlands coefficient is under threat from the Czech league. We are 10th they are 11th and only 0.1 points behind us. If we drop out the top 10 we lose automatic UCL qualification!

They have the two Prague clubs and Vic. Plzen still in Europe. We have Rangers !

Fortunately the Prague clubs have Liverpool and Milan. It would benefit our cause greatly if they lost home and away and Rangers can get something out of Benfica!

Unfortunately Plzen have drawn Servette who were pretty average when they recently played Rangers
