That was unreal. What a fucking block from Duk. He can take 4 months holidays every summer. What a performance.

Who would have thought, on a weekend where we were away to Celtic, that we'd actually increase the gap on Rangers.

Yeah bar a few harsh yellows Walsh was fine, certainly didn't feel like he was getting influenced by the crowd and by and large let the game flow. I would go as far as to say it was most competent di
A international break to come, but after that it's the test that Scottish football keeps saying we need.
I'm fascinated to see Jimmy Thelin's approach. In all 13 games we've been the favourites, but Thelin was the master of being the underdog in Sweden. His tactics there were very much on being comfortable giving up possession and hitting quickly on the counter.
With that, Celtic away shouldn't really faze him. In May, Elfsborg beat Malmo 3-1 with 20% possession in a 4-3-3 formation. Think fans are hopeful we'll go to Glasgow and "have a go". I don't think we will, but it's not a bad thing as long as it's not the hopeless tactics we usually deploy there.
I could see Thelin sacrificing a number 10 (Clarkson) in favour of a midfielder to form a deep three (Palaversa), but still ask him and Shinnie to break when they can.
Duk, despite his impact v Hearts, probably starts on the bench. Sokler could have started ahead of Nisbet for his work rate and his ability to close down the Celtic defence, if only he could actually finish. Morris' speed actually lends him to a counter attacking game, but McGrath more of a goal threat.
That team will win the league.
