Not sure I agree about the penalty, maybe a good height for the keeper but i thought it was well hit and a good save. I've had the radio commentary on my phone since and once in a while when I've got it on shuffle it will appear and always puts a wee smile on my face. What a game though, has to be one of the best experiences I've ever had at the football. We had to go for (several) pints afterwards as every one of us was high as a kite! better_that_van_basten_mono.wav

This. It was also Hylton who initially won the ball to set up the counter in the first place.

Just watched the highlights. Blaming Hylton for messing up the break away and Hearts goal is absolute rocket material.

Domestic violence is quite obviously seen differently

Gillespie should just have held on to the ball in the passage of play that led to the corner for the first goal. We were under the cosh for the first time in the match at that point and he just had to take the sting out of the game. Poor game management. Despite that he was still our best player IMO. Mugabi losing Katic at the corner was really poor, very basic stuff. Midfield were all poor today IMO. Tavernier and Arfield played Hylton well, he completely fell out the game after the first 20 minutes when Carroll to Hylton looked like a good option for us but we could never make anything from it. He has been our creative spark of late and we otherwise offered very little. In saying all of that it took an outstanding save from McGregor to keep them in front. The Morelos sending off was moronic on his part, it's not like he was even getting it tight from our fans. Totally unnecessary from him and Gerrard will be furious.

We have been the better team in the 2nd half by a distance.

Unless he was pulled back ala Kipre on Sinclair it was hard to see any contact tbh.

Hartley is really struggling with Kamberi

Long not tracking the obvious run and Camberi (I thnk) with time to take three touches then shoot in the box.

That's just shocking defending there. Fuck me.

That 2nd goal was just awful on so many levels.

The question around timing of this announcement is an interesting one that I think deserves more discussion. Is there an upcoming maintenance cost and/or issue obtaining a safety certificate that might hasten any potential move? Or has our already generous benefactor indicated he is willing to assist with financing? Personally, as a fan owned club, I think a potential move to a bespoke new ground (i.e. chosen by the fans for the fans) offers endless possibilities that could see us being the envy of every club in Scotland. The incorporation of safe standing for both home and away fans, for example, would be a major selling point.

At least it's not... "I have to stick it out at Motherwell a little bit longer." Mark McGhee, May 2008.

Even I'll admit there's an angle where it looks a great tackle, but the slow mo is clear as day.

Sportscene's analysis of the red card shows the ref got it spot on. The definitive camera angle is the one from behind the goal and when zoomed in and slowed down it clearly shows Bruce got nothing on the ball and it was in fact Long who clipped it inside. Bruce's reaction at the time was actually what convinced me it was the correct decision, you could see he knew he'd screwed up.

We were right behind it and the movement on the ball was unreal, Brilliant save.

You need a lot of things to go in your favour to take anything from Ibrox and for that reason yesterday was a missed opportunity IMO. Taking the lead against the run of play, not conceding from the inevitable soft penalty, keeping 11 men on the field combined with Rangers resting their best players and not being at it in general - all went in our favour. Not getting a foul on Donnelly in the lead up to the first, a normally reliable Gillespie making a hash of it and then the ball falling perfectly to the man in form - didn't. But sitting in so early and conceding from a set piece (when we had a warning earlier in the half) is all down to us. Polworth and Donnelly were absolutely done mid way through the second half yet no changes? You can't invite that sort of pressure at Ibrox and expect to get away with it, even when they are not at their best. Our second half performance lost us the game and that's down to the players and manager I'm afraid - incredibly frustrating. I get all the chat about budgets, but there is no getting away from the fact our league record against Rangers is far far worse than it should be.

Aaarghhh

That's a decent chance for Long!

Get Polworth off before he sent off

From the view behind the goal it looked like the ball moved a lot in the air and curled round Hartley's head so he may have seen it late. Still should have done better.

Long doing well to draw a few fouls

Yasss missed it

And there it is
