Many Celtic supporters hope that by sheer magnetism of personality, Martin O’Neill will revive form and fortunes.
And both aspects are fundamental building blocks to success at the rarefied Speedboat League level.
Celtic snuck back into the top spot with a league-best xG ramp up against newly promoted Falkirk. Small steps and all that.
Heart of Midlothian’s recent run of results over intrinsic performance caught up with them a bit at St Mirren, for whom refereeing decisions added additional negative variance.
Hibernian remain the league sleepers in form over outcome, and were very unfortunate not to get at least a point at home to The Rangers, who are presumably back again. Remarkably, Russel Martin’s expensively assembled players managed to overperform on their performances.
Dundee remain the clear form favourites for the drop.
