Great team performance today. We havent showed the mentality to win at Ibrox for such a long time and it was there for all to see in spades. We defended well as a unit, no cheap individual mistakes and the goal we did lose was a wicked deflection. Midfield passed it around for fun, got in some very good positions and but for a bit of luck or better finishing we would have had a couple of goals. For those having a go at the forward line again, its fair enough to point out the lack of quality up front, but can we not add a little perspective? I thought Bair did well enough again today. Won some headers held it up, laid it off. He never really had any clear cut chances, so not sure what folk are expecting of him. He isnt an out and out striker, but when we play someone else up top with him we tend to lose the control over the midfield we have been exhibiting. Shaw made a difference when he came on and for me he missed the best chance of the game, but Id also cut him some slack as he hasnt played a lot of football and is coming into games cold with very little gametime behind him. Going forward I'd like to see us build that up so he is fit enough to start instead of Theo. Although we havent seen anything to suggest Wilkinson is any good, he has been injured and has yet to settle so we have no idea if he is any good or not. We also have Biereth to come back, so its not all doom and gloom. We just controlled large parts of the game against the 2nd best team in the country on their own patch in a manner most of us have been desperate to see for years. Lets concentrate on the positives and take that into the Celtic game next week. This team isnt far away from where we want it to be.

The smart arse BBC guy who supports Aberdeen was trying to be clever making comments about Rangers supporters wouldn't have been happy if they and signed Beir. Crags immediately responded by saying Motherwell supporters would have be even less happy if we had spent £4000000 and ended up with Dessers.

Im gonna be bold and predict we will get something from this game. Heart says 2-1 Motherwell, head says 1-1. Spitz and Slatts to run the show and Ollie Shaw to break his duck and be the hero of the hour! 😆😆😆

Ah of course MJC says in code we will win.

We played really well, but are utterly toothless up front in terms of strikers, final ball, and set pieces, and I don't see that changing anytime soon. Unfortunately, the evidence is there to convince me we’ll likely see this type of performance and result play out several times this season. For me, it boils down to this - SK can't legislate for what happened to Biereth, but replacing KVV with the likes of Obika, Wilkinson, Bair, and Shaw is clearly a mistake.

Doft my cap, perfect summation.

Considering the pathetic shambles we were before SK tooK over this is a splendid display. Yes, we are struggling to score but you can’t fix everything in one go. First SK fixed the defence and now we have. Midfield playing some very nice football and making chances. I’m sure SK will address the scoring issue too.

If they ever end up being fit enough.

Not confident but hope we give them a right good game and put Bain under pressure early doors as Hart suspended

Good luck to slatts , he's been a different player this year but he's good at " buying" those fouls...long may it continue

SK is hanging his hat on Bair as his "project" so we'll should wait and see how that develops once he actually has a striking partner available. While it's easy to speculate on how good/bad this season's strikers are it's been impossible to make an informed decision while most of them have been injured. Of course, that won't stop plenty making uninformed decisions. This is the internet after all. Given how many people have slated, for example, Spittal, Slattery and Mugabi, in the past I'd rather wait to see the evidence on the pitch before jumping to rash conclusions.

and the bbc radio scotland commentators were saying how good a team we were and deserved a draw at least ffs even kenny miller said we were worth a draw on wards and side ways 😁

like who ?? the 2nd striker at real madrid ? or just another run of the mill journeyman hoping to make a step up

Spider there is no way its going to be a long haul. This team is not far away and the performance today was as good as I've seen at ibrox in years. Yes the strikers aren't van veen level but our midfield 4 is playing best football at fir park for a while. After today and also seen some celtic games this year those 2 are nowhere near the level they have been in last couple of seasons. Only downside I see for us is if we get more injuries to our midfield I think we'd be struggling as there's no one to come in. I know we are beat again but there are plenty positives in last 2 games against 2nd and 3rd in league.
