May is certainly far away indeed. Especially when you consider we have Hibs, Motherwell and Aberdeen away in the space of a month in the early new year fixtures. First things first though. Saturday and 3 pts.

Hopefully a lesson learned tonight? Our next 2 away games are St Johnstone and St. Mirren and they won't be too far off that game there in terms of style. We just need to make sure we play our strongest XI from the start. Oh and defend better...

How we respond at the weekend will be telling.

I know Aribo has been injured but he was miles off the pace tonight. As was every player tbh. I thought the telling thing was Balogun had a lot of time on the ball and was forced to start our forward play (until Davis and Kamara came on). Zungu is tidy but wants to play Hollywood passes too many times for my liking

Dont give a damn about the league cup but its the bigger picture that would be a concern . The warning signs were there on Sunday at Tannidice IMO. We've played a lot of games granted but we were awful tonight and looked like we couldn't even do the simple things right. Just glad it's a cup game and not the league

Aribos been an empty jersey tonight

Very lacklustre indeed. Much like Tannadice IMO. Should we be concerned...? Too many long balls also

That all came from Kent trying to be too flashy. He needs to just concentrate on the simple things sometimes...especially in and around our box

Due to a previous work connection, I have had dealings with Dougie Payne and the other lads from Travis. They are all bluenoses apart from the singer Fran. Nice bunch of guys tbh

I'd whip him off now and get Itten or Defoe on. There's niggle in this game and we need 11 men

WTF Morelos. That could be a red

Think it will Itten down the middle with Aribo and Hagi either side tbh

As much as we are doing amazing at the moment and they seem to be in freefall, this is one Gers fan who can't revel too much in what's happening. The 5 years prior to Stevie G are still too raw and I simply cannot revel in their collective misery until the league title is in our hands. Regardless of what is going on over there, we are still only 7 pts ahead in my head. That could change dramatically with a draw here and there. PS. Lenny must stay!

From what I've seen, it looks like a bunch of wee teenage neds. Is that the GB core audience?

Not going to judge him yet as he has been reduced to cameos and played out wide on several occasions.

There's now talk of an SOS for the purveyor of Jurassic Football himself...St. Martin of Neil. Happy days

What a great finish. What a great pass also from Goldson. Didn't realise it was a plastic pitch tonight. With the temperature now dropping, let's hope we get out of my here without any injuries.

More buses than Buchanan Station

I thought Kamara was outstanding

Just a wee post script. Can anyone tell my why our 1st goal was not offside last night? Is it because Roofe is beyond the goalie? He's clearly the most advanced player when Arfield strikes the ball

Agreed. When he actually starts believing in himself to get forward he could really be a truly outstanding player. He's been doing more of that and he does look threatening

I like the fact that he is a hard worker and there is almost a maverick quality to him. We haven't had a "maverick" type player like that in ages

I thought Kamara was exceptional again tonight

Standard Liege did us a wee favour. If Poznan had won they would be on 6 pts, adding more pressure to the next 2 games IMO.

Hot on the heels of Andy Walkers proclamation that The Tic were on top at Parkhead (1-4)...Paddy Bonner declares on the BBC webpage that sellik are "in control" of the match at 2-1 down. It ends up 1-4 again. Safe to say, I won't be asking these guys for the lottery numbers anytime soon...
