Celtic and Rangers always have a OF drubbing in them. That's been the way for years and I wasn't surprised in the slightest when they turned us over 3-0. I was surprised however that we threw away games against Hearts, Motherwell, Aberdeen and Ross County. That's 8 pts down the drain. Not to mention other draws v Aberdeen and Dundee Utd.

Who cares?

Thought the game was very similar to the Cup semi. Both teams having their moments in the first half with us taking control of the game in the 2nd half and looking the much fitter team. Either way, we didn't lose the league because of our results against them. We lost the league thanks to too many draws (especially from winning positions) against mediocre teams. This alßo happened under Gerrards watch to before he exited.

I did notice that it was mentioned in the post match chat that Kyogo missed a glaring chance in the first half. Forgot to mention he was flagged for being a yard offside. On top of that, IMO Meada was well offside when he received the ball and blasted over the bar in the 2nd half.

He also had a cracking shot that Hart tipped over the bar.

Biggest take from that was our fitness and desire. We were first to most second balls in the 2nd half (like the Cup semi) and most of their attacking play was down to misplaced passes by us.

Just listened to Clyde SSB and the consensus was that Celtic dominated the 1st half? Did I miss something?

Well done. Couldn't really ask for more. Depleted front line but we bosses the game in the 2nd half and should be walking away with all 3 points. That's a moral victory in my eyes.

One swallow doesn't make a summer

Let's go!! Even a draw here would be a moral victory IMO

Hate to mention refs but there have been a few occasions when he should have blown for very obvious free kicks IMO

I think we are hoping for a break or a moment of individual quality

2 observations. Why is Tav taking outswinging corners on the far side? Surely Borna should be whipping those in?? They are very average IMO.

Considering our starting personnel I thought we did ok. Is it worth trying Itten on for Sakala and Aribo out right? We've had some decent possession but it's evident we are missing a front line. Sakala is not good enough.

Sakala's quality or lack of it demonstrated in that passage of play

Had very little interest in this game when I woke up this morning but after reading a few posts on here...

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Glad Wright is not starting. Airfield could be key. Hopefully Sakala can step up.

How are we going to line up today? Where are our goals coming from? Airfield has to start IMO.

Sorry to state the bleeding obvious but I feel like we need to get the first goal to have any chance of going through. If they score first, it could be a long old night

Is it just me or does anyone else have zero or very little appetite for this match?

🤣🤣🤣 Keep hoping. Most "journalists" in our country have an IQ that is equivalent to a plank of wood.

I thought they looked a step up from Braga to be honest.

My big worry would be that their away record is pretty decent but hopefully a full house at Ibrox will inspire us to victory.

Sadly I agree with this. I'm struggling to see where our goals are going to come from.
