"St Mirren is my tip." Asked which team could be in the biggest trouble, the panel goes for St Mirren after five defeats in a row, ahead of St Mirren v Dundee: open at the back, "high-risk football", and Dundee's form, with Ethan Hamilton linked to Hearts and Hibs ("there's a love-in here"). Then Falkirk v Kilmarnock, Hibs bottom of the league, Kilmarnock's turnaround, and the predictions. From The Football Show, Friday 23 October 2026.
Transcript:
St Mirren against Dundee and Falkirk against Kilmarnock. I'm going to start with St Mirren against Dundee because you know they've lost five in a row now and I'm looking at St Mirren and I'm thinking of all the teams that I think could be in the biggest trouble, St Mirren is my tip. It's interesting, St Mirren, because there are periods in games where I watch St Mirren and I think they're quality. You spoke about Aberdeen last week. You know, I didn't see the full game. I watched the highlights. St Mirren could have been ahead at half-time. They created some real opportunities and they look a good side, but I think defensively the way they play are very open and susceptible at the back.
Up against... is it Dundee they're playing? Up against a Dundee team that's flying at the minute. That's a tough game. And again, I think Craig will get time, but five, six games on the trot... Purists don't bring you points when your confidence is... That's the thing for me, is Craig's a young manager, maybe a wee bit naïve in his thinking, and he doesn't want to change and doesn't want to tighten up. When they're good, they're very good but I agree with you they're Really?
Do you know what, I watched them at Falkirk and I thought they were so in command of that. You've probably seen them at Ibrox against Rangers. Excellent. You're lucky. See if your confidence goes and you're asked to play high-risk football. You need to take the pressure off your team and just remotely just revert back to a kind of more basic approach. Okay. I have to say I am really impressed with what Dundee are doing. I think it's a situation where the fans are well pleased with what he's offering and I can only see them going down there and winning 2-1. Yeah, fancy Dundee as well. I was really impressed with Ethan Hamilton in the middle of the park being linked to Hearts and Hibs.
I think Celtic and Rangers will be looking at him as well. Yeah. What do you think, Parksy? I'm not going to break the... There's a love-in here, isn't there? Yeah. Justifiably so I would say I think the Elvis love-in... You know what's great about it, also, Simon Murray was a talisman, so to go one man down, your captain, also... Yeah, Dundee to win 2-0. Give us your thoughts on it Dundee certainly getting rave reviews from us Falkirk, Kilmarnock. I can't quite work out the whole thing here. I mean, I'm looking at Dundee having fourth, but Falkirk and Kilmarnock I think will be well happy they've managed to get off the foot of the table. That's the first thing he'll be saying, you know, and Neil, as he often does, will just probably be saying, you know, the old cliche, one game at a time.
This is one building brick. Let's put another one on. Yeah. And Neil was under severe pressure at one point as well after taking a real hammering against Celtic. Went to Easter Road, turned it around. That's the game that's turned it around for him. Going to Easter Road and winning. Tam, look at the bottom four. They were all in the top half last season. Yeah. And what's happened? Because you've got clubs like St Johnstone and Dundee who now punching above their weight and look and at this stage of the season probably look better than them and Hibs bottom. Yep. Yes. It's incredible. Hibs, the size of the club, should never be bottom.
And what about Falkirk? I think they'll hit their stride again 'cause they've got a manager that just insists upon players going expressing themselves. He's got a bit of physicality and that will be closer than you think.
I think Falkirk could be fine. Yeah, I'll go for a draw in this game, but I think I don't think Falkirk could win... the bottom two. Yeah. Okay. Give us your thoughts on I'm going to go for a I'm going to go for Falkirk just to edge it 2-1.
