Hmmm.... no, St. Mirren has the lowest attendences, but whatever. Aberdeen just announced plans for a new 25-35000 seater stadium.

Hmm... I guess my perspective was more skewed than thought because obviously when I watch Celtic games more people are in the stands than they average. Hibs and Hearts do well, though. Also, as a separate argument, comparing attendences is kind of pointless because the entire country of scotland has about a quarter the population that the New York City metro area has.
Paisley is to Glasgow as, I dunno, Newark is to NYC, or Irvine is to Carson. Closer, actually - I think it's about 10 miles. St. Mirren should have sold out against Gers, but still, you have to have a sense of the scale. (ah, see some others have weighed in on the same issue. Looking at St. Mirren attendance is more like looking at, say, Occidental College Basketball attendance when all you've seen are UCLA and USC games.)
GolTV showed it tonight in their last segment. It was a nice header from Edu but it wasn't the thunderous, powerful header that I thought it was going to be. It wasn't Marcus Tracy or Robbie Findley style but it was perfectly placed with just enough juice to send it near post past everyone off the corner kick.
Player ratings for the match. Despite only being on the field 15 minutes Beas received 6.5 Mo gets 7.0

Beasley did not break any ribs, apparently, but will be out this weekend. Edu getting very good notes from Smith, "especially in the first half." Rangers, have, of course, a ton of injuries currently and few bans, so Edu looks to figure a bit more.
