Saturday's victory at Motherwell is unlikely to remain in the memory any longer than it takes Usian Bolt to do the 100 metres.
Whilst there was nothing Olympian or as genuinely jawdropping and awe inspiring as Mr Bolt's efforts in Beijing, given what we'd witnessed 7 days earlier to take all 3 points from a side the pundits reckon will be challenging us for a UEFA spot was most satisfying, especially as it saw the emergence of two fledgling Red Army heroes.
Ever since David Robertson sold his soul for a handful of Murray's sheckles and sent himself into permanent exile from Aberdonia, we've lacked a genuine left back.
We've had plenty in the intervening 17 years who could defend, plenty who could overlap and cross but never one who can do both like Mulgrew, it's just a crying shame that just as we finally get a left back we discover we don't have a right back.
Aside from the melodramatic media reaction to a headbutt that never was, Tommy Wright also made an immediate impression. His style evoked memories of cult hero Dean Windass so presumably we can expect as many triple sendings off as hat-tricks.
Though hopefully he'll keep his cool this Saturday, as it's going to be hard enough beating Rangers' 12 men without being a man down.
