A settled defence and better end product from Duncan and Morris* then we potentially win that.

Shame, but we've transfers still to come in and 36 games to go. Our attitude was good and we rattled Celtic a lot.

 

*I get the "he wasn't shite" comments, and fair play he got stuck in. But struggling to think of one good ball into the box. There was one point he beat two Celtic players - proving he can actually take players on and beat them - but he doesn't do it enough, let's defenders stand him up too much.

I'd say he's probably earned an extended stay and a season working under Robson and we may well get a player out of him yet. But I still think we're crying out for a better player there.

He was always having to check back as the box was empty. By the time we got up and put it wife to deliver he was 2v1 hard to get a good ball in.

On that note I personally think that the noble cross is a dead art now. Percentage football produces ugly low cutbacks. I'd love to see balls fitted across the six yard box but it's very rare at the top level.

Been a cracking half to be fair. Celtic don't look as good as last season and I think there are more goals in the next half. Hopefully for us ,

I'll give him that. Though duk did the work.

Gonna be a long game

Miovski being nudged off the ball like a 12 year old. Honestly still don't think he's anywhere near good enough to be leading our line. Never gets his shot away.  Flat track bully.

Back three the only concern today. Hopefully they come together. I'd assume that once we get another CB in Devlin will move to wing back or dadia well play there with the other moving to CB. 

Strong squad, if have liked to see sokler given the nod but otherwise it's about as strong as we can be.

I thought baron looked back to the player that broke through today. Dadia certainly didn't hit the ground running but I think we have a fairly decent squad with options in most places now.

Position? Defense or midfield?

Full back.

Or Dadia getting a run? Curious to hear where he plays.

I think he just tripped himself up. Let's hope it's just nerves but he's being destroyed. Seems to stand off too much so far.

I think Clarkson is playing further up the pitch. Certainly was yesterday with shinnie playing the anchor.

I'd be surprised if sokler doesn't push bojan out of the starting line up this season.

Not a fan of the attacking wing back and felt both Johnny and Morris were crap yesterday.  Certainly an area where a specialist is needed.

I did think that Duncan did ok in that position as the game went on.

I felt we were just not physically up to it today. A yard off Preston and lightweight in the tackle. The ref deciding to leave his cards at home set the tone early and Preston made the most of it.

Bright spots for me were shinnie, sokler ( who puts himself about and looks a player ) and polvara when he came on looks to have doubled in size from last year and found some dig. Clarkson had as few flashes but we never troubled them.

Should have had a couple of pens. I think the pull on miovski as he went for the cross and the wrestling in the box ( think it was Milne) . Duk just jumped on the ball to be fair hoping for a pen.

Defence was always going to be dodgy and it proved to be out downfall today.

Disappointed by some of the chants from the moronic element present today. Two goals down and they bring out the Ibrox disaster, Bobby sands and Durant songs from under their ski masks There's just no need! 

Severin lives near me in Falkirk. Used to bump into him at kids football. I think he might have been offshore last I heard.

A guy with a record like Jim gives a dressing room the ready made excuse they're looking for when things are tough.

Probably not a worse manager than before but perception of him from players is probably completely different and they produce less with that safety net of a diddy manager to blame.

I listen to him when I have long journeys. Some great stuff on there and some idiots for balance.

I'll definitely give this a listen.

Came across a rangers page with Dave Cormack in full kit. 

The comments were amazing. Totally against what I expected. I'd say 90% said it was a cracking kit ( although the badge got stick) and i'd also say 80% were actually praising Dave for being a real fan.

Never thought I'd see the day. This however is definitive proof that it's a proper kit.

I'm loving it, and as all three of my kids have sent me separate messages with photos. I'd say it'll be popular.

Northern lights kit is also a bit of genius marketing.

Just my thoughts today as Devlin comes in. Do we keep 3 DC or move to a back 4?

I'd love to see young Jack come back into the team but I have a feeling that Barry isn't his biggest fan

If either of our full backs could cross a ball we'd have scored five tonight.

Great result. Thought Clarkson was superb. Would love to see him for another year.

Barry has turned a shit show on its head

Crap. Could've been five for hearts. Never had a sniff.

I said it all through the wins that we had been lucky rather than massively improved.

The bounce is over. Robson has saved the season. We might lose third but it's better than where we were.

That said, I'm not filled with optimism for next season.

Seen a lot of people outraged at £2m.  However you have to ask yourself, would I be happy if we paid that for him?

The truth is that I'd be outraged if he was at hearts and we offered 500k.

Take the £2m and run.

Never seen the game. Was listening in and it sounded like Hibs were all over us. Yet again roos has come to the rescue.

I've said it a few times now. We can't rely on a solid back line, world class saves and a duk miracle every week. 

The results that we were getting were excellent but the performance hasn't really been. 

That said, fair play to the boys at the back again. Scraping a valuable point.

It started outside the box but he was still all over Duk as they moved into the box. Stone Wall pen all day long 

Surely they'd have to check to see if it went in the box ??

Anyone willing to comment on the penalty we had/didn’t get? Seemed like a no brainer to me but it appeared it wasn’t even reviewed by VAR?? Makes a farce of the whole thing. Again.

It was outside. Should definitely have been checked though and been a foul. WWE stuff.

Defended for our lives again and eventually something was going to break our run at the back .

Can't rely on a miracle from Duk every week. Although we did come close a couple of times.

I've said for a few weeks that we've been carrying luck ( and by proxy momentum . It'll be interesting to see if we can pick it up again next week. I'd like to see us try to get up the pitch a bit more as it's not only Ibrox where we've relied on Wonder saves and last ditch tackles.

You might want to frame this next bit but I have to say that miovski looks to have improved dramatically since Jim left.  I've gave him a kicking for being a horse many times but it looks like with a bit of direction he might be a player 

Not sure what Duncan brings to the team today but otherwise decent enough shift from the whole team. 

Some of the decisions that weren't looked at today by VAR were outrageous. I hope the club are compiling an email as I type.

Do you think we ever practice corners?? They're fucking awful.

That's a gutter. Hoping we could end their hopes ourselves
