Strangely I’m disappointed that we never managed a goal today, I don’t know why but I thought we’d have made a decent chance and scored but hey ho we move on.

Moorman for me today, solid at the back, cleared off the line and didn’t put a foot wrong, shame about the fanny about outside the box with passes available with a player closing down that cost us.

In fairness to Paulsen he's made a decision and the player has anticipated it well. Always a time and place to hoof it from danger though. That could have derailed the guy but in the end he prevented a cricket score. I'll let him off on that basis.

Shankland going off was probably to our disadvantage as our passing game would have had him puffing and no way he is pressing Poulsen in same way. Still hoping that’s got a few bad performances out of peoples systems all in the one go without, what could have been, a big dent in GD.

The gaffer said

Cant bring myself to vote for Paulsen despite the saves he made to keep us in it. The mistake he made was too big and so unecessary. Thought Hodge was our best outfield player albeit he was far from perfect.

Disappointing, but how many millions have they spent on their team? FFP non existent in scotland. We can do much better, but losing at Ibrox is hardly the end of days. Shrug of shoulders and we hopefully learn and move on.

Agreed. We looked a bit tired today. The break is well timed.

I know stats don’t always tell the whole story in a game but today we made a total of 571 passes but only 164 (28%) of those were forward. Despite us appearing to dominate possession, too much of it was in our own half and in areas of the pitch where we posed no threat. Rangers had possession where it counts as witnessed by 27 shots and 42 touches inside our box. Possession is all good and well but if it doesn’t produce and end product i.e. goals then it become a pointless exercise. I always view anything we get from games at Ibrox and Parkhead as a bonus and that they won’t define our season so long as we take care of business with the rest. COYW.

Worst performance I’ve seen from us in a long time. Sparrow the worst of the bunch. we look knackered which is fair enough, we need a wee break. hodge our best player

Played well first half, Paulsen's nosebleed aside. Penalty decision was a joke so pleased Rangers failed to convert. Controlled the first half, dominated possession, created some decent chances but couldnt take any of them. Second half we were miles off it. Way too many misplaced passes and bad decisions handed the momentum back to Rangers. Probably the worst 45 minutes Ive seen from us in a year. Disappointing to lose the game, but we go intona 10 day break now that will allow us to refresh and give the manager time on the training pitch with the players, as that second 45 cant happen again.

Painful de-feet. Take your pick...

Rangers weren’t much better than us but hey we move on

That goal wasnt down to tippy tappy stuff, just rotten decision making, wont be a worse goal in the UK today...hes a good goalie but much more of that and offski in my book

Good first half with one black mark. Struggled the second half. Kind of lost our shape and focus. No real attacking threat from us today. Couple of players below par today but, as with the goal, we expect these things to happen just hopefully not a lot. 2 weeks to work on the training ground with AJ and then show us how it should be done, against Aberdeen at Fir park. Sorry 10 days, not two weeks.

Bit meh,decent possesion,some players off the boil,keeper howler,kanga needs to get up to speed,cookie wont do as centre forward,we need 7 days off and more training time.

A very disappointing day at the office today.

Most frustrating game I’ve seen for a while. Played some good stuff in the first half, then fell apart and couldn’t string any passes together.

We could have got out with a draw though, theres mistakes at the back and theres what paulsen did today ...so fn slack

Shame we didn’t really really have a go at them today - it all felt very pedestrian . too many times turned back rather than take the player on . we didn’t make any chances in second half of note - other that JTs weak shot . thought rangers could have scored several .

£40 saved today, only caught the last 20 minutes of it but never looked like scoring in that time apart from the maswanise chance have we had a go today?

Disappointed with that. For all the possession we had we didn't make them work for it nearly enough. Fairly meek in the end.

Ah well, frustrating losing to a terrible goal but they should have scored more. I am sure Alfred learned a lot about some players today. Got week and half to work on the training ground. Squad close to full strength so plenty competition and if guys not performing they drop out COYW

Aye the PM will be long and boring

Don't know what would be worse, conceding again or losing because of that goal.
