Went to a Red Sox game when in Boston last month. My wife - not a sport fan - wasn’t impressed when I told her they played extra innings until there was a winner.

Think divorce might have been on the cards if it was a game like last night’s 🤣

When I saw the years I was going to jokingly ask if Scooter was there - and it was!

December 26: St Mirren 2 Rangers 1

Not a Saturday but it's the bit between Christmas and New Year so who knows for sure?

It's 1-1 when in the third minute of stoppage time, Ayunga and Mooney combine for Caolan Boyd-Munce to throttle one into the bottom corner.

Merry Christmas!

December 21: Ross County 1 St Mirren 2

Scott Tanser is sent off but in the last minute of normal time Oisin Smyth scores an incredible free-kick as Saints’ Saturday shenanigans continue!

December 14: St Johnstone 2 St Mirren 3 (cont)

But no! VAR decides the St Johnstone goalie moved too soon an a retake is ordered. This time - in the NINETY-NINTH minute - it's scored.

That should be that. Right?! Yes. Yes it is.

December 14: St Johnstone 2 St Mirren 3 (cont)

A St Mirren shot is blocked by an arm and, after an age, the ref awards a penalty. Mark O'Hara does his thigh taking a spot-kick that is saved.

And that should be that. Right?!

December 14: St Johnstone 2 St Mirren 3

Where to start?! St Johnstone score with about 10 minutes left. St Mirren equalise a couple of minutes from the end thanks to a kid who may well still believe in Santa.

That should pave the way for a nice, sensible injury time. Right?!

December 7: St Mirren 0 Motherwell 1

The game is as good as done when Alex Gogic is sent off with about 20 seconds of stoppage time left. Motherwell score from the free-kick.

Saints take kick-off and it's full-time as the visitors end a three game losing run.
