I don't think it was poor, per se, but the focus was on depth, rather than first-team players. They're not, and were never meant to be, first team players, so not having an impact is irrelevant, IMO. What we were looking for, is for them to play a few games here and there, put in solid performances and/or develop their game. Jones and Stewart are solid Premier League players, who wouldn't have cost too much. They have each contributed a little: Stewart's came off the bench to grab a decent number of goals for someone that doesn't play much; and Jones grabbed important assists in EU qualifying, but then has been injured for the majority of the time. Hastie and Edmundson are youngsters with promising futures. Edmundson looks good at times, but make the odd mistake; that's not unusual for a youngster. Hastie has not done much, but he's only 20; he was one of the best youngsters in the League. Ojo is a loan that showed early promise but has disappointed. Barker was just an opportunity to add to the squad depth, IMO. He's not good enough. I don't think the profile of player we went for is wrong: they are youngsters with promise, or solid premier league players that can add to the squad. What I agree with, from those above posts, is that we have focused, wrongly, on squad players to add depth. What we needed was more first-team players. Hagi, Kamberi, Aribo and Helander are good signings, in that regard. (I think only Hagi and Kamberi are Wilson signings, I think? I might be wrong.)

Nae points. I didn't even have to leave my phone. I'll post the table tomorrow.

There's no point blaming individuals - it's all of them. But they're not bad players.

I'm as angry as the next guy, but I'm also quite confused - how can go from being the best team in the country, blowingvaway top European sides, to this gutless, impotent performance? It's inexplicable. I would like some answers from SG.

I can't help but feel we need a complete rebuild, or reset, but that's simply not true: this squad is capable of playing some great stuff. Where is it?

It's inexplicable how bad we are.

Arfield has pulled his hamstring, so he's coming off.

I'm not enjoying this, at all. We've done nothing.

Until we learn to win the battle that this is, or find a way to negate it, then we're getting nothing from this.

This place is empty.

Hagi probably needs a rest. Morelos is in need of a break too, but I did expect him back. Is he not in Colombia?

Shhhh... I need to make up some points.

Fans: Make changes, Stevie! We're too predictable. SG: *makes changes* Fans: Where the hell are X and Y? Surely this is a joke? Play the strongest side!

4-5 very good chances, but poorly executed, and then they gave them their goal. Sounds familiar, to be honest... It's the sort of game that happens regularly in Scotland, but the pundits seem to always praise the winners in that situation. I wonder what's different? Morelos take note: that's how you finish from close range - a wee dink over the sprawling Forster.

Hearts 1 - 2 Rangers FGS Arfield

I want Inter, but I'm not sure I want us travelling to Milan at this time... I'd settle for Copenhagen.

I like how you felt the need to specify...

I thought the pressing was spot on. In the first leg we didn't cover their wingbacks - our full backs were tucked in too much. And, their midfield runs into the half-space weren't picked up. Today, our fullback pressed their wingbacks aggressively with our midfielders covering the runs in the half-space. Offensively, we continued where we left off in exposing their high line. Terrific stuff.

I was having a wee moan to myself about Steve McManaman's annoying commentary on the Madrid-City game - fine player, but I think he's thick as shit when it comes to the tactics of the game. However, he mentioned Rangers' magnificent win, so all is good!

No? It was struck hard, though, wasn't it? Give me that, at least!

I thought his defensive work was brilliant; bursting a gut to cover every blade of grass.

To all the doubters: GIRUY! Rousseau, BEARGER, Moody and Dado gained 1 point for being staunch. Rousseau, compo, BEARGER, Devil, Yorkie, Lenny, BD, Moody, MacK and T-1000 gained 1 point for the Correct Number of Rangers Goals. Lenny and T-1000 gained 2 points for Kent as FGS. Rousseau, BEARGER and Moody gained 3 points for the Correct Score. Latest Standings:

Get in! Tremendous effort. Tremendous tactical approach.
