A welcome away point at Kilmarnock , and Caley continue to slowly haul their way back up the SPL table. While some elements of our support might have higher expectations, I'm still a firm believer that any away point in this league is not to be sneezed at - apart from the fact that I have a very bad cold and have been sneezing quite a lot.
Our result also means I can feel a touch of sympathy for Gretna, after they blew possibly the greatest result in their history in the last 5 minutes against Celtic. You have to feel for the poor bloke who played Scott McDonald onside for the winner - TV replays show he had already collapsed on the ground with his head in the hands before McDonald's strike actually hit the net. I won't lie, though. I was much relieved that the Hoops got out of jail. If Gretna actually have a snowball's chance in hell of staying up in January, Brooks Mileson might actually fund a decent player or two. And I can't be assed with watching Caley playing dross like Clyde, Queen of the South and Dunfermline Athletic every week anymore.
For a short period this afternoon, though, it looked like Hibs might end up being top of the table, as they kept up their recent record of being Rangers' bogey team. Can John Collins' side keep their fantastic run going and maybe split the Old Firm, just like Hearts did two seasons ago?
Of course not, don't be ridiculous.
International weekend coming next, does anyone else think our marvellous Paris bubble is going to be dramatically and cruelly burst by Ukraine and/or Georgia? I note that the bookies still have us at less than 50-50 to qualify, by the way, considering half the Tartan Army seem to think beating the World Cup Finalists home and away constitutes an automatic ticket. (It probably should, though)
Oh well, at least I have Montrose v Elgin City on Friday night to look forward to. Goodie.
