16/08/2025 – HEARTS (H)

On a scorching day in Paisley, Saints negotiated this 2nd round tie against much fancied Hearts via the unlikely route (for us) of penalty kicks. This was our 2nd penalty shoot out of the season, having lost one against Arbroath, and our 2nd against Hearts this calendar year, having lost that one in a Scottish […]

09/08/2025 – MOTHERWELL (H)

Occasionally a 0-0 draw can be an exciting match, where goals sadly evade teams in an open match. This wasn’t one of those rarities, and the match on Saturday was perfectly summed up by the final score. In truth, we never really got going. We started strangely passively and looked lethargic, something the manager was […]

PLAYER OF THE SEASON 2025/26

To determine the Consilium player of the season, we will be using a points system after each match, where the best 3 players will receive the following based entirely on our opinion of the best Saints players on the pitch: Gold : 5 pointsSilver: 3 pointsBronze: 1 point At the end of each month and […]

03/08/2025 – CELTIC (A)

Saints started the 2025/26 season where they finished the previous one, at Celtic Park, but were unable to repeat the point secured on that occasion due to an extremely unfortunate late deflected goal that gave the home side an undeserved win. The last time we wrote, the future of Stephen Robinson was in some doubt […]

17/05/2025 – CELTIC (A)

What a team. We may have missed out on European football, but there can be little doubt this group of players is one we can justifiably be proud of. For about an hour on Saturday we had actually done the seemingly impossible and jumped into 5th position. Aberdeen took an early lead at Tannadice, meaning […]

14/05/2025 – HIBS (H)

Following an absolutely epic battle with Hibs on Wednesday, we were struck a blow in our battle for European football, but it is not yet fatal, and our season moves onto the final game, at Parkhead on Saturday. The way things turned out elsewhere, as most expected, meant victory over the Hibees would have put […]

10/05/2025 – DUNDEE UTD (A)

So on the season goes, to the penultimate match, as European football becomes an actual possibility following the very impressive defeat of Dundee Utd at Tannadice on Saturday. On the pitch, it was one of the best performances of the season so far by Saints, the main ingredient in what was one of the great […]

03/05/2025 – ABERDEEN (H)

Despite people falling over themselves to tell us we had nothing to play for post split, our season moves on to what is now our biggest match of the campaign at Tannadice this Saturday following this win over Aberdeen. Given our form against the Dons not just this season, but over multiple years, confidence was […]

26/04/2025 – RANGERS (H)

Our first top 6 match of this season was an action packed, incident filled and sometimes controversial affair, against 2nd placed Rangers, with Saints looking to do a treble over an Ibrox based club for the first time since 1979/80. In truth we should have achieved this, and fairly comfortably. In our opinion, we were […]

12/04/2025 – ROSS COUNTY (H)

So that’s it then. Top 6 football for the third year running! It is of course, a tremendous achievement, no matter what others say or how we got there. Based on budget alone, we shouldn’t really be in the hunt, but football is not played on spreadsheets as we well know. You can’t buy team […]
