    Interview after the game:

    "This club didn't beat St Mirren in four attempts last season so it's a tough place to go. I'm proud of the bravery my players showed and it's a good point."

    FT 1-1. Still without a win in the league from games against Motherwell, Dundee and St Mirren. <laugh>

    6 points behind Celtic after 3 league games. The $hit gets deeper.

    That late-ish leveller from Findlay Curtis rescues a point for Rangers, but it does not prevent Russell Martin's side recording their worst domestic start in 36 years.

    Martin now has just three wins from his first nine games - the worst record of any permanent Rangers manager.

    36 years will probably become 50+ when they get twatted by Celtic.

    Was that Gers v St Mirren or the game against Stoke?

    He somehow seems to be doing worse than I expected. I mean, I did think he'd end up struggling and eventually get sacked, but I wasn't expecting it to go as badly as it is.

    The Scots Prem is blood and thunder. He gives them tippy, tappy across the back line. You might be okay if you win games, but when you fail to win and lose ground on Celtic. No chance. If he was giving them the right kinda of physical football he might have a longer stay. It will end badly very soon
