Relegation is finally confirmed. To be honest, it's been in the post since January when must-win home games against fellow strugglers Kilmarnock and St Mirren ended in draws.

Livi failed to narrow the gap and those teams got a bit of momentum, not much but enough to keep ahead of us. We, on the other hand, stuttered along – not losing too many, but not winning any either.

The post-mortem and recriminations will no doubt start now.

The biggest thing from this season is the record-breaking winless streak. A new Scottish record and a tad embarrassing too.

That said, we did get 14 draws and many games were tight. No-one really scudded us, apart from a freakish result against Aberdeen. We were competitive just not effective.

I have moaned about this since January but the recruitment wasn't good enough.

Players brought in, one for a large sum of money for us, were not better than what we had and many never got a sniff of first-team action.

We signed 20 or so players over the course of the season and how many would I take next season? One or two maybe, three at a push. We got quantity when we needed quality.

Nearly all the fans are behind Marvin Bartley staying as manager for next season.

He's done alright with a struggling team, but he will have to start winning games again back in the Championship.
