It might have slipped under the radar of many, but we officially cannot be automatically relegated: St Mirren could only reach 51 points with straight victories until the end of the season.

Given that this has the potential of being a record-breaking season, it might be worth tallying notable achievements starting with:

1. Avoiding automatic relegation spot (earliest ever for us in top flight)

1. Avoiding automatic relegation spot (earliest ever for us in top flight)

2. Top 6 assured (earliest ever)

3. Cannot be relegated (earliest ever)

4. ICT record for longest time without conceding a goal(616 minutes)

5. Joint record for number of Manager of the Month awards (2 for JH)

6. First semi-final as top flight side

7. 3rd semi-final in a row

8. Yet another season finishing above the shadowdwellers!!

Thanks, guys - I'm gtradually losing the plot!

Pedantry alert!

Changing no.6 to include 'Scottish Cup' as no.7 otherwise doesn't make sense!

And here I was desisting from making the same suggestion for fear of being called an old pedant!

...told you I was losing it! Anyway, I'm safe in the knowledge that there are plenty out there who will correct me when I'm wrong!

Just thought of another one.

With Hughes having x2 'manager' awards this season, and Christie also having x2 'young player' - add in Draper's Player of the Month - that's 5 SPFL monthly awards the club has achieved - I've checked this! Another record!
