    Ha ha, that was the standings “half term”, when they were told then “could do better”, alas they went on to appoint McGoo, and the rest as they say is history…

    Ah right. 4th is the aim then.

    when he was going off the pitch tonight with the fans singing his song it made me think he might stay. Money talks though so maybe not

    In the very first qualifying round, we’d possibly face the likes of 2nd or 3rd in the Luxembourg, Andorra, Gibraltar, Wales, or San Marino leagues. A level of club we might beat!
    An extra game would mean an extra home gate. For our first home European tie in a decade, no matter who it is against, a crowd of 6,000 at £30 per skull would come along. That’s £180,000 in the coffers. Then a bigger team in the next round in front of a bigger crowd.
    4th is the aim financially, 5th as you say, will give us more chance of a couple of ties however. Here's a link, albeit a few weeks old, to give you an idea of possible opponents.

    Realistically you think we only need a point on Saturday for 4th - you’d think Celtic will take care of Motherwell on Saturday on their day of Terroris.., sorry, ‘Title’ Celebration. But it would be nice to sign off on a win against a now unmotivated Coonty with a massive travelling support in order to finish the league on a high. Critically however, for me 4th is massive, not only financially but also to finally allow the team a very well deserved, ‘proper, close season in a long, long time. No managerial merry go rounds. No back in time to play ludicrous league cup games at the beginning of July. In other words a proper ‘rest’ to allow recovery and more time for planning and recruitment moving forward which surely can only help in the long term. And who knows, maybe for the first time in forever a proper pre season friendly against decent English opposition (when did that last happen???).

    The Baldy Snake set the Club back further than I think a lot of punters really appreciate and recovery was always going to take the best part of 10 years. It’s a slog at times alright, I don’t doubt that, but taking it over the long term, the trend is undoubtedly upwards. Very well done to all concerned.

    4th and we'll be back competitively on the 30th July for the start of the Premiership. 5th and we'll be back 21st July for Q2. Compare that to the 9th July for the dingy group stages. It's a fair difference.
