Celtic would have blown them off the map today. We’re lacking quality in the final third and it’s the difference. Hopefully Cantwell will go some way to resolving that problem, but we need Colak back in the team.

Only beating a poor ten man st Johnstone 2-0 at home after scoring early is a bit of a let down. We have created a few good chances and should have scored more.

Kamara... shoots... scores... ?

Na, they seem too busy recreating Tenko.

As a front 4 Morelos, Kent, Tillman and Cantwell won’t score enough goals. Need more goals in the team. Cantwell played well but he is not a killer. Won’t score 15 a season.

2-0 against 10 journeymen, at home, and making gey heavy weather of most of the second half. Forgive me if I am not ecstatic.

Looks sparse? Is this a viewing hall? Two little tables scattered around looks like their waiting for furniture to arrive.

I'd take Adams in a minute, the fact the above poster thinks he is shite merely cements my thoughts. 😅

With a quick follow up then a couple more early second half, then a barrowload. Those were the days. I’m really fed up of clinging on to narrow margins.

It also adds a further reason why there's a conflict of interest between Parks and Cinch.

Time to poke the JuJu Man in the eye and say there's no way we're winning by fewer than 4 goals today. Take that JuJu Man!

There is a weekly ballot to determine which player drives home in the Hillman Imp.

Getting to play on an actual surface and not a cow field

He is gone but looking at score it seems the players put no effort in to save him.

Biggest miss this season for me has been Tom Lawrence. Looked a great signing until his injuries began under GVB

The inevitable win but performance still lacking. A lot of enthusiasm without cohesion from individuals who were understandably rusty or not sure where others were going to be. The ballers, Tillman and Cantwell seemed more interested in effort than doing what we need them to. Tillman was excellent at winning the ball back from the opposition. Cantwell needs minutes but can't help think Lowry could be doing the same. The fiesta moves on. Hearts in Edinburgh will be an interesting test.

After they went down to 10 men why didn’t we put on another striker?

Spot on but small mercies and all that - at least we've stopped conceding goals every time there's a cross into our six yard box.

Not clinical enough and haven't been for ages. We should really be hammering these sides, especially when we score early.

It's definitely better than under GvB but it's also clear there's a way to go yet. For me, by far the brightest highlight of the game was seeing Iannis Hagi back on the pitch and looking like he's lost none of his ability. He's the best addition we could have hoped for in this transfer window. The defence continues to improve but, much as I praised his improved performance in the first half, I'm afraid Tav still looks the weakest link in the back line and as the team improves around him it just becomes more obvious. Also - it takes a lot to make Hibs look good but Aberdeen managed it with flying colours.

Our xG was 3.17, with 5 'big chances'. Definitely deserving of more goals.

We've definitely created enough to score more, but I still think we need to be creating more. It feels like that's been the case for far too long.

There was no-one left to pass the ball to ...

Willie Collum is hopeless. No booking for a choke hold on Cantwell, and gives a foul against Morelos when he's fouled by two players? Hopeless.

Fair shout. Maybe Jack off given his yellow card. I'd also bring on Colak for Morelos.

Kamara holding, Tillman and Cantwell as #8's, Hagi in the hole, Morelos and Sakala up front, with our wbs bombing forward. Noice. That's at least more of the same.

St Johnstone player goes round McGregor and then lucky for us fluffs his lines and mis kicks the ball. A certain goal otherwise. How are we in this position v a very poor ten men team.

We're dominating, but we're not creating enough.

I thought you said he was p*sh...?

There is now no handball if the ball is deflected onto the arm, or if the ball hits a player using his arm for support. https://www.goal.com/en-gb/amp/news/how-does-the-new-handball-rule-work-football-rules-explained/baj7pi2kk191qyeu9ay8wlrn

It's the Christmas tree formation, with Tillman and Kent as the two #10s, with Cantwell and Tillman switching. Kent drifting about, too. It's incredibly fluid. If we get better with the combination plays it could be quite exciting. We've seen hints of it today already.

Not a penalty the ball deflected off our player on to the opposition players arm. Our officials are dreadful.

Glad to see Lundstram dropped. He's not playing his way out of his dip in form so perhaps a period of rest will help get him back playing like we need him to. Personally I'd have preferred Morelos to be benched rather than Sakala. Hoping this is the day we finally put the opposition to the sword.

Yeah, he is 💩

Straight swap for Morelos, sounds good to me.

Morelos Out, Adams In Might even have been plausible 18 months ago.

St Johnstone will do what all diddy teams do at Ibrox, defend like their lives depend upon it. An early goal would be handy.

And, of course, the signing from So'ton, as @Bill said.

You’ve don it now. 0-2. Medicine Man, @Rousseaubans folk for that sort of thing.

Times have changed Piggybank

Your first suggestion, trying to put pressure on club to deliver ..... provoking that type of relationship won't end well. There is no deserve about it, he must be backed and I am sure the plan is to do just that, but within our financial budget. If you can better preserve that budget now by limiting January expenditure and end up with the same player going into next season, surely it should be considered. Would Whittaker come into that bracket?

Approximately a month away from the League Cup Final, we could do with a convincing performance to go along with the inevitable win.

One man's bullshit , is another man's Daily Record coup. Too late Bill, the game's up, you've been outed as the Gersnet ITK guy 😀 .

What does it matter if it benefits Park Motor Group? Surely all that matters is weather provides additional competitive income to Rangers. Why are we so obsessed with hanging negativity on everything?
