Will watch this from behind the couch. Midfield a real concern and the chances that Raith created will be goals at Celtic park. Hoping I'm totally wrong but can see 4-0 to them.

I think that Hancock has been unlucky here. He was arguably our best player on Sunday and probably earned a chance in the team. Clearly wheels were already in motion. I don't feel that we needed another LB with him and McKenzie fit

Possibly the most physical side in league two. Small tight pitch means that this will be a battle. I'd expect a win but with a few bruises to show for it.

You'd happily take 3-0 against Raith at any time. Potential banana skin dealt with and you have be beer pleased at that. Not the best performance. Thought Hancock was a stand out for us. Otherwise not too much to shout about. Let's hope the resilience lasts. That said Stewart still hasn't won me over. Makes as many mistakes as big Ash did. Miovski really never did much. Ramirez looked like his confidence took a hit and Vinnie was really quiet. That said, we got the job done and never looked in trouble second half. Fingers crossed for a big performance next week.

A penalty and a worldy have put use in a good position but Raith have probably had the better of the play and some lovely bits of passing IMO. Our only tactic looks to be putting the ball up the channels and using pace at this point.

If Barron isn't playing #10 I think he forces Ramadani out of this side.

Ps do they play offside in Macedonia

Big step up in opposition. Need the CDM's to step up because Raith are getting a lot of the ball.

Looks like a new Curtis main at this point. Let's hope it's first game nerves.

Having seen Stirling play stenny a few times last year I didn't expect much of a game. Very pleasing to see is go after it and not sit on a 2 goal cushion as we may have in the past.

On bein 2 in Australia. Ten minutes in and Stewart hasn't filled me with confidence. Still don't look to have a style of play other than closing everything down and putting the ball in the corners.

I've watched him against stenny this year. Doesn't look ready for the first team.

If Barron keeps this up, he'll be a target for bigger clubs in the summer.

Killie v Arbroath, is Derek going to bottle the big occasion? Should be an all action second half

Ramirez I've seen this week at Disneyland Paris but it was the same when del was in charge and we were struggling last year. It's not like we have half a squad called up. Might just have been a long weekend and I'm being unfair.

Does anyone else see players wandering around Europe this week and wonder why the hell they aren't training with their new manager to try and improve a poor season whilst they have time to do so ? It's not just this season though. Why is it treated like a holiday in football. Surely this would be valuable time for all clubs.

Went for a draw, got fuck all, deserved fuck all. No ambition whatsoever. Passing atrocious and no game plan to get out. Just rotten. I miss glass already. We were shite but entertaining. Now we're just shite.

33% of play and they've had 14 shots to 1 suggested that we've parked the bus. Against a team we dominated on our last trip to Ibrox.

From the little I've seen of the half, we look to have parked the bus.

Probably deserved more.

Not the worst half. I'd still like to see us play out a bit more but appreciate that this causes us issues. I don't get why Barron is holding instead of Ferguson. He has a trick, a shot and a through ball. Fergie has one leg, no pace and only passes sideways. Get him doing the dirty work and let the footballer create. Utilise his engine and tackling.

Said this after the first game at Motherwell. No even close to the level required. When McKenzie's fit, he's got to push him out.

It was. Clearly pulling his shirt. Just stupid from bates.

You'd think we'd stop giving away penalties when our keeper never fucking saves any or goes on the right direction. 14 from 80 saved. One in 6 ish. Does he even practice? Not blaming him for the goal but he's almost pointless with those stats.

If you give a monkey a typewriter and infinite time, eventually Lewis ferguson will score a free kick. Just step aside and give somebody else a chance.
