The formation has worked. We're matching them, giving their back-three plenty to think about. 

 

The first goal was a slip. You could question McGregor's positioning, but I think he slips too?

 

The second came after SG switched the line-up of our back-three, moving Katic into the middle, Goldson wide right, and Flanagan wide left. However, I don't that that would mess up who picks up who at set-pieces.

 

We've played well, and crucially matched them physically. 

None of that made Tav lose the man he was marking.

Breath...........One of those crazy games where every attack could end up in a goal.

 

1. Defensively 3-5-2 looks full of holes and we haven't been solid. Stacks of effort from us but too easy for Motherwell to create.

2. He's 7 foot and plays the flute.......tick

3. Up front Morelos and Lafferty are dangerous.

4. Balls from either flank have quality

What a diddy team they are: cheering at every ball that goes out. Embarrassing. 

To them this looks like a cup final ... adrenaline pumping and they've got the bricks of players for that style. Main looks very much like Hartson and plays like him too. If he was in our colours, he'd probably been off by now. Good that SG see's early what he will be up against ...

 

Great comeback. We keep our calm and work our chances. Great stuff by Lafferty and Ejaria ... what a find is Barisic. The rest works his socks off.

Wow, what a game of football.

 

Very unlucky to go behind so early with Goldson and McGregor both slipping but to concede such a cheap second goal was disappointing after getting back into it.

 

Lots of credit to the players though, they kept their heads up, kept working hard, matched 'Well physically and eventually got our noses in front with two excellent goals from out of nothing. 

 

No idea what's going to happen after half-time though! ?

[Briton 314]

Now we know what the team can do when they go behind.  Came back twice and then went ahead.  Great stuff.

Had my doubts about Ejaria in such a physical game. The wee man has been great

Ejaria the guy is majestic reminds me of the michael mols turns. Did you see that move that almost came off just before halftime in their box dribbled between 2 feet!  

 

This looks like the old battle fighting Rangers we used to know. Lafferty oh the memories are coming back.

Yes that was fantastic skill. It just wriggled away from him after touching it between two feet.

The ref is having his usual shocker, the hammer throwers are getting away with murder, only surprise for me is we still have 11 players on the pitch
