Tav top league goalscorer.  Right back golden boot?

Yay!

3 min stoppage... 

On the bright side. Defence holding up as we've come to expect this season. Shots on target :: 0!

Its an indication of how well this seasons gone so far that I look at the stats and get disappointed when they manage a shot on target against us!! Another clean sheet, another 3 points, 2 points added to our lead.  Its looking good so far if we can keep our focus!

Stats look decent, they've not even managed a shot in the second half! A second goal to tie it up would be nice. .

Positive to note thats another half of football without the opposition managing a shot on target....

This match has an ominous buffer-hitting feel to it.

I hope not.  I've got a real hope that the first team to score against us this year will be Livingston.  I'd obviously rather go the season without conceding, but I'd settle for Livi being the first to do it...

Certainly not but this isn't the Galatasaray of old. The hierachy in Turkey has undergone a lot of change in recent years. They aren't spending money either.

Good point.  Quietly optimistic.  Except Spurs we've got a good chance against anyone we could have drawn, especially at home.  Another run at the group stages would be fantastic!

Could have been worse, could have been better.  Never like the idea of playing Galatasaray but at least it's not at their place!

Gonna be Galatasaray away

Not Spurs! Phew!

Worth considering, we paid 7 million a year ago, to turn a 100% profit in a year with a 14mill offer is pretty good business and not something we've done too well with as a club for a while.  Are we going back to boumy for that kind of profit made on a player?

Went for Kent, very direct and ran at Killie throughout, much better from him today. Barker a close second, tried hard without much success but kept coming back for more, hopefully there is a player in there after all that’s been well hidden thus far.

 

Both full backs getting assists is very pleasing, Helander made a couple of very timely interceptions, Jack & Davis played 20 yards further forward than Jack & Kamara have been playing and both even played some forward passes!

 

We look as if we have many gears still to go up, we still overpass and don’t take men on often enough in final third to create holes, but everyone done their job today apart from the keeper, who was completely redundant again. Just the way I like my keepers!

maybe time to start playing 3-5-3 or something, the keeper isn't needed!!

No need to apologise. 

Heres to the start of what could be a wonderful season.  Currently ahead by 2 games, 6 points and 4 goals.  Yes they have every chance of being ahead of us when the games are caught up, but they'll be chasing us every step of the way and I know which position I'd rather be in!

As soon as I see a post on a Rangers forum about the scum drawing, I know they are going to win.  Nothing surer.

Sorry

Pressure on them.  3 games in hand 8 points behind.  0-0 at HT...

Awww 83 minutes, I was getting hopeful!

Pressure on them.  3 games in hand 8 points behind.  0-0 at HT...

So... 2-0 win.  A shot on target every 10 minutes on average, 600 passes with 85% accuracy, 75% possession Nd now 5 games without conceding.  Could be worse!

Also worth noting, 5 games without conceding, very impressive!

Demoted back to the bottom of Scottish football

That'll be the one! Sporting integrity and all that...

We're penning them in and there are more third-man runs, so we're moving them and the ball about quite nicely. 

 

Quicker passing too. 

Quicker passing certainly, averaging a pass every 10 seconds.. with 85% accuracy.  Positive!

Are we playing an unregistered man? 

 

No doubt thats going to be a forfeiture of the match and a 9point penalty...

Not sure that they'd quite fit in an all time greatest (and I don't have the benefit of quite so many to choose from, started following Rangers in '92 personally) but always had a soft spot for the likes of Boumsong, D'Archeville and Rino...

Why are we so keen to have a second CL place that would allow Celtic to take part?

Because, based on our performances since Christmas, it's us that would benefit from the second berth rather than them.  We're int he position now that we need them to drop points elsewhere even if we win all our outstanding games including the derbies...
