For me this season is now all about in terms of priorities 1, Winning the Scottish Cup and 2, Securing 3rd place.
St Johnstone on Saturday will be difficult. I'd say they're favourites to win their semi-final against St Mirren. So if we get passed Dundee United then it'll be them again at Hampden.
In the League Cup semi-final earlier this year we collapsed in the second half but first half we were by far the better side.
So on Saturday it's league business and we want the three points to secure third place. However, with one eye on the following weeks semi-final against Dundee United I'd be tempted to rest one or two....
Martin Boyle on form is our best player. If he produces at Hampden a couple of times in May then I'm confident this summer will be very special.... So I'd have him a sub on Saturday. Christian Doidge doesn't score enough but his aerial presence will be needed at Hampden. I'd sub him. Likewise Porteous.
On Saturday I'd be hoping to play Cadden, Murphy & McGregor in their place.
Thoughts?
