my hope for this game is that Craigan and the boys treat this as a derby game, rather than just another game (his words) we've been second best against this shower for two long. Lets get in about them from the start. The players owe us a performance.

noone really stood out, bar randolph, who's had busier nights. Craigan was craigan, cleared a few, missed a few, and passed to the stand.

better 2nd half, we worked harder and got in their faces. With a little more belief could have got something from the game. Get murphy through the middle instead of Gow. Gow's lacks of pace hinders him being the lone front man.

brown is an idiot stupid tackle from a stupid individual if we had shownb more belief we could have got something

was wondering that myself looks as if weve settled for 1 nil rangers will hump celtic on this showing

gow stays on the park

unsporting bawbags nothing new

celtic have lost the plot get into them! whats the red card odds now? wheres sutton or blackman get them on

see the difference when we work harder and press them. it;'s celtic tv what do you expect?

they've sussed out how to play against us. It's time for a plan B.

alot of our problems stem from the fact when we do have the ball, there is little available up front. We nead to work harder to find space, and given the pace that Humphrey and murphy have on a big pitch it really should not be that hard. Get both of them infield pronto with Sutton for the flick ons. Lets try something other than a brown system please.

if we are going to hoof the ball up the park get sutton or blackman on to at least try and hold the ball up. Gow is like a man down.

center of midfield is allowing their midfield to run at our defence. just look at the effort to get back and help. pathetic. has gow touched the ball yet?

what i also dont get is that we have not learned anything from the last time we played them. The left back has humphrey in his back pocket. if we play any deeper we will be standing on our own goal line. push up for fecks sake

we need a midfield.

aye but who is the assistant?

so can we start a new topic with 60 odds pages trying to guess who the assistant is?

depends on the players views on Leitch i would have thought, if boyle had sense and asked them. But then management team aint ment to be your cuddly best pals, as they are just as likely to stab you in the back.

how well he will do, will probably depend on who he gets as his assistant. Think thats the key.

is that a distant hope or you know something?

if you google mccall, seems he's a hard worker with good ideas, but had trouble identifying his teams strongest 11. His teams slide coincided with the clubs financial problems, and resultant cut backs. Does that show he cannot opperate on a reduced scale? or can he use that experience, learn from it and progress? Time will tell, if even the BBC have the right man. I wonder who's spinning these stories to the media. What motive would McCall have? So perhaps someone within the club. Even then you've got to take it with a pinch of salt as very little has come from club up until now, so why is all of this information suddenly being released?

perhaps the reintroduction of standing and the return of the east stand to it's former glory could delay and help matters. Unless we manage to unearth a gem in the youth ranks and sell him at the Hibs rates we aint going anywhere for a long time.

perhaps it's time the players took on more responsibility to help out Young! It's only a game of football not brain surgery, and our players have been together now for a while and have played the opposition often enough to surely not need telling what to do to counter them. It's time they stopped feeling sorry for themselves, rolled up the sleeves and got on with it, and try an encourage a potential manager to accept the job. As for the Young bashing. He knows his limitations, and never asked to be put in the position he find himself in, so give it a rest. Players win games, and it's time they did just that!

we have to attack as our defence at present is not good enough to try and park the bus. I reckon it's going to end 5 - 3 to the team that makes the fewest mistakes on the night.

This turning out like when the club were trying to find a sponsor. Plenty of chasing, and an end product out of desperation. I wonder who's negotiating on our behalf. I just hope that the players gutless performance has not persuaded those chased to reject the offers. Who ever gets the job is going to have a extremely hard job on and off the pitch.
