At home to a side in the bottom half of our bottom league yet not young player. Instead opting for Simpson who is rumoured to be moving back south soon and nowhere near good enough, Barker who has never and will never be good enough and the rest being genuine 1st team players. If guys like King cant get a start in a game like this then there is zero point him being at the club. For once, I agree with rangers 100%. Treat every game the same and play the strongest possible team, regardless of opposition. Fans are paying to watch rangers, not rangers u-18’s.

There are games in every season where rotation is required for a number of reasons. Not least allowing young players to get some experience. Starting your captain, vice captain, 5 other internationalists and no young prospects against a part time team who are in bottom half of the lowest division is embarrassing. Young player comes on due to injury and makes an impact. Much more benefit to see how a player like that performs than the likes of Barker and Simpson who have no future at the club.

It would very quickly turn into the cup competitions in England. The opposition dont want to play kids either, this could very well be a once in a life time opportunity for many of them, they want to play international footballers and complete their dreams too.

Theres a difference between playing a team full of kids against a fellow premiership team and playing 2 or 3 youth prospects against a part time side in the bottom tier at home. I guarentee that fans would enjoy watching Lowry and King over Simpson and Barker tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Passing was honking all night long. Just glad I was in Glasgow and never travelled all the way down for it. JET is useless, second touch is constantly a tackle.

Only bit of quality in the whole game made the difference. Odd season for St Mirren, only lost 7 of our 22 league games but too many draws. Plus only 2 home league victories (both against the Dons). Aberdeen must be the most frustrating team to support, better team against Rangers twice this season, then turn in a honking performance like that next time out.

Decent attendance I thought, what’s the capacity there, would recommend it was at about 70/75% full for home fans, the wee group at the corner never really stopped all night either, good to see from the youngsters taking a bit of pride in their town instead of automatically going into Glasgow.

Just over that, ironically I think 3 out of our 6 biggest attendances since we moved into the stadium has been against Killie, once against Dundee Utd and one each old Firm, sort of blows out of the water the nobody can survive without “Blue and Green” pound nonsense. I think Killie could have sold they’re allocation 3 times over when you had a good season under SC a few years back.

There’s no way there was 5000 empty seats last night, or I had a terrible view of the sides. They looked quite full, behind the goals was more sparse.
