We are trying but its all abit flat on and off field. County will be happy. Hope we have practised penalties.

Its appeared now. Tho not much to see.

Dunfermline were not great, but got the luck you need.

Hibs out by the looks of things. Warning for us if we are not at it.

There is always a chance any team can get beat whether they play their strongest team or not. We have a strong squad and todays team reflects that. Its good Connolly and Ross are getting game time. We also have five subs to take advantage later on in game.

Sheffield wed fans confident he wont leave. Even Bannon stated a while back he would not leave. Of course things change. Replacement for Watt? Tho you would think we would be looking for technical and mobile midfield players alot younger than him. Allowing us to develop and sell on. We have experience in McGinn Odonnell and Halliday.

You not mixing him up with Matt Penney?

Think Slattery will be away at end of season. Hope its to a team down south.

Wonder if we are looking at James Furlong. As for ODonnell, he has his weaknesses but in this system he has excelled. Valuable guy to have around. Good professional off field and useful backup when needed.

Apparently Kettlewell was screaming at Scott at last nights game. A player low on confidence aint responding to that behavour. Obviously Kettlewell has learnt nothing. Total clown.

We still need proper cover at left back.

Welsh apparently not in Celtic squad tonight. Must be running scared of us. Was there agenda to weaken us and disrupt a guys career?

Plus the optional year the club has. Why sell now? unless stupid money of course. We dont want to dismantle our team and all the positives this has provided of the field. To sell now would be a big kick in the teeth to our increasing fan base.

Wells is the puzzling one. Was highly rated but got injured and then nothing said thereafter. Gone are the days of updates on injuries or development team performances. Everything is a big secret.

We will need to get someone in for sure given lack of numbers. But im also sure Johnny K can also play cb and has done with us very well.

News of his return to Celtic has their fans rubbing their hands in glee, not! Apparently he is not good enough for them and would be more useful staying with us to try and take points of Rangers and Hearts. From a personal point of view it cant be a good move for Welsh as he is unlikely to get regular playing time with them. This is the problem with loan deals. Ok for very short term but can cause problems down the line. Celtic seem desperate, disorganised and clueless just now with transfer dealings. So if they come calling for our own players, double our asking price.

Nope dont agree. Quite happy they are losing and keeping us 12 points and many goals ahead of 7th. Top six is our first target.

Referee having no problems seeing Rangers penalty today. Mind you Aberdeen are awful.

Yes. Strange going ons.

We need to start our strongest 11 and take it from there. We cant afford to take this game lightly. Its a cup game and to progress you need to work hard and hope with our quality and abit of luck it will be enough.

Anyone else see the bizarre carry on at the end? Hibs player and Said having a disagreement. Said walks away and Hibs player dived after feeling contact from behind from another Hibs player thinking it was Said. McGinn seen it, hence him having a go at Hibs player. Referees really need to come down hard on this sort of behavour. Also see Celtic when they need a little help got away with a shocking tackle early on against Utd. Youve got to wonder if VAR have been told to keep a lower profile in recent weeks.

When we look back at the end of the season. It will be a case of what could have been. So many draws that easily could have been wins. Take it AP is totally out of the picture. We were crying out for a fresh front man at the end but him and osong stayed in the bench.

Nobody really stood out. Everybody was at least a 7 out of 10. Faddy just perhaps edges it. He is the complete team player.

12 points ahead of 7th Aberdeen could cut that if they beat Rangers. So we are in a good position.

Could do with another pacey forward type player. Game was there to be won today as Hibs gave up space.
