Short answer no think bbc have all the rights - other than live games on premier sport

It certainly signals how important the league is. If we push ahead and win then once again the manager proves his clout.

I was chatting to some of the Celtic lads, their vieq is he's been at Park Head long enough, played more than 40 games and didn't cement himself as a starter. They want to look forward and don't feel he's the solution given he's been tried and tested. Perfect - bring him back to FP , sign him perm in summer. Captain Welsh for MFC please.

and normally you tell jokes but not this time .

Its a bit of a sh&t show at Park Head ( poor them ) Not only a replacement of manager but a replacement of the guy that made a chops of signing Nancy and a total mess of summer recruitment was binned. Suspect that they had a bunch of players lined up and they've had to cancel all of the above and almost start again to recruit. I can see why as a club they had to act by a certain date and recall players. I think there being pretty fair to outline that he could well come back to us by end of Window. Panic stations and Welsh gets caught in the crossfire.,

Although sad to see him return Lots of positives re Welsh . We’ve benefited from having someone better than we’d normally afford and he improved our teams results . He’s also improved his personal stock and suspect a serious contender to get game time at park head . if a bigger club was to give another loanee of similar quality for rest of the season that would be fine by me

Really happy to get something from today. think it was @mio who said he had the fear going into this , i had same feeling . It’s very hard to adjust to expecting not to lose when we haven’t lost many games . Hibs I thought played decent stuff and looked dangerous , first part of the game they really dominated but we slowly and surely came into it . The commentators made a decent point that we at times try to find the perfect goal, I tend to agree , we could be a bit more direct and like we all know need more cutting edge in final 3rd TW took his goal brilliantly , proving to be a great asset . Overall a very decent point .

said is far better wide than central . id rather have slattery central , said on right and take off sparrow

Same issue here I’m afraid AllyMax

No your spot on. I think he handles the press really well though. My take on his comments was 'if there's any interest in a player or staff it's internal' and the last people he said anything to was the press. He did follow it up by saying he's just here and enjoying it. Overall he plays with a straight bat but neither confirmed or denied.

Lois Moult is returning oops - that’s even more tedious 😀 I’d be happy for a few loanees from engurland - but not more like osong

The chances of Celtic going for any other SPL manager at any point in time are remote - Tony Mowbray is the only one I can think of and that was after 100+ successful games with Hibs, add to that 4+ years of being a Celtic player. Aberdeen would be the more likely club to want JBA but even at that I think they'll want someone with a more proven record. I do think JBA is likely to leave at the end of the season, there's plenty of English clubs who'll take notice and given his professional record of not sticking anywhere too long I do think he'll move on, but for now we get to enjoy what he and the club have created.

Thought we were excellent today . Potential banana skin after winning the other day . we’re a much better team without AP and Hendry thought there could have been a lot more cards for the dirty tactics - ref let them off very lightly - can accept advantage but why not book them

lots of options - Just unlocked their defence time and time again. Everyone was class today.

The lad has potential. Sensible decision though as it would too much time to get him up to speed, by the time he was fully match fit the season would be over. Wouldn't be surprised if Osong also goes back. He's not had enough game time to warrant him staying on.

I thought around now. Last update I found was end of October , recovery going well and he was back in training following the quad injury. The issue could be lack of game time, loading etc to get him match fit could be tricky.

Key signing really needs to be a striker. Defensively I think we're OK if we're holding on to Welsh. Also reminding myself that McGhee should be available in January. Be interesting to see if AP leaves in this window. Balmer, Halliday the obvious ones to leave. As much as would like to move on some of the crocks can't see Robinson, Stuparvic, Nicholson going anywhere.

Had it been the other way I suspect a much longer VAR review would have happened . i don’t blame the ref tbh , he had a good view and can see why he may not give it. But you’d expect a longer review from VAR which is poor , yet typical against OF

Just adding my own perspective on longelo as think he’s a decent player . Personal view is the left hand side of the pitch is an area we lack balance , therefore quite a bit of expectation for longelo to cover a lot of ground . Particularly today where rangers are pretty strong on their right hand side . for contrast on the right we have JK but he’s supported by Said , Just and Sparrow who have a tendency to be on the right . The times longelo has been at his best he has RCC on the left to support him . Appreciate we all see the game differently - just wanted to chuck my 2 cents in . Overall key that we find a different striker if we want to kick on and get top 4

Our good run was always going to come to an end . We played well for 20 mins and didn’t take our chances . As much as I hate to say it rangers were the better team and deserved to win . i don’t like picking out individual players , I don’t think it was down to any single player today that we lost . Felt it more that we lacked belief that we could win.

Feel we lacked a bit of belief today but can’t fault the teams effort

They ask what your view is on Tom Boyd - the answer given proves who the well fans are

To be fair it’s given it’s a bit of a stretch to seriously consider us to win the league - Leicester would be the comparison and I’m sure they were leading at Xmas . finish in top 6 will be fabulous - top 4 would be amazing - anything more needs a level of magic for us and further disaster for others.

I think we’ve played well - similar issue to most weeks is we lack a cutting edge . Trying to pass our way through the eye of a needle at times . id like to see both wingbacks pushed further up and whip in a few crosses

If Watt had taken to ground when the ref played advantage with Robertson all over him that could easily have ended in a red card . I know the ref played advantage but stunned Robertson never got booked .
