Diomande is really bad. I think he is going to be my new scape goat for everything bad that is happening.

I'd take off Diomande, Silva and Wright. Push Sterling to midfield and bring on Barasic, Cantwell and one of McAusland or Sima.

Shocking, can't complain about that.

Someone needs to grab a hold of this. Get the ineffective players off, although there are rather a lot of them on the pitch.

Cantwell on for Lawrence 

Id take off Diomande, I just think he hasn't been on it for a few games now. Dunno what Goldson is up to there, blatantly elbowed the ball.

Both teams look really poor to be honest, we just happen to look more poor.

Lawrence and Silva not on it so far. Dessers looking strong. 

It boggles my mind that he is a 40 mil player, I wouldn't sign him on a free.

No it wasn't. 

Apart from not reading the ball, not being aware of the danger, delaying the clearance and eventually whacking the ball off the celtic player and into our net. Apart from all that, it wasn't his fault!

I dunno what to say about that, I don't want to get arrested for a hate crime on Tav.

I have faith he will make it back.

Hearing Dundee asked SPL to reschedule kick-off to 3:00PM as believed weather would improve and they'd have time to sort the pitch. Their request was refused (presumably due to game being chosen by SKY).

 

Dundee and SPL have a few questions to answer. 

I think they need a bit more time than a few hours to grow grass on the massive completely bald areas of the pitch. Look at those photos, the playing surface is a disaster. I don't think it's playable.

Pitch looks shite, the only problem with the decision is that it wasn't made sooner.

What a pain in the arse, but I do wonder if it may help us in the long run. I feel like there are a few in the squad that need a rest and perhaps we will have some back from injury by the time this comes round again.

Cortes and Sima being long term injuries has really fucked us. Being out of Europe can only aid us domestically as some of these players look like they are in dire need of some time off.

We are passing it side to side when the only place it can be is in the box, mental.

Quite astonishing that Silva is a 40 million player. Don't get me wrong, he's not been awful, but I don't see anything special about him.

Both sides are level on shots, yet they've got 1.54 xG compared to our 0.40 xG. 

 

We just don't have the quality in the final third. 

I really don't think Dessers is good enough, regardless of his recent record.

Diomondes performance has been concerning. Lundstrum looks fucked again, he looks like he needs a rest. Most concerning is that Wright has looked like our brightest performer.

Fucking woeful that. What were they doing at the back there?

Wow, for a team that has such a great defensive record we have some fucking dire lapses

Diomonde has some really bad errors in him, doesn't he?

Could do with Dessers staying inside a bit more often 

Looking much more settled now, Lawrence looking the most dangerous I’ve seen him recently.

Don’t want to be harsh, but Diomende did exactly what you don’t want in the opening minute and it sets a tone for the start of the match.

Unless I am misreading here, there is nothing in that statement singling out Rangers. In fact the only club singled out is Hibs themselves. There is no need for us to take offence from the message.

I didn't hear that.  Someone from the club needs to have a word about that.  As for the rest of it, some of the songs do need to stop but the hypocrisy of Hibs makes it sound like sour grapes.  Throwing obstacles, including a sharp knife, on to the pitch is reprehensible.  I said the same about the idiot who threw the glass from the Copland.  As for scribbling 66 on all the seats, that is worse than a hurty song.

The way I read it there wasn't any hypocrisy. They condemned their own fans behaviour and said they were acting on it.
