Sturgeon refusing to say when we can unrestricted crowds back. Complete contempt for football fans.

I'd say we need a striker and one or two midfielders dependent on whether O'Hara has a return date. We should be looking to punt Lawless if at all possible.

I'm quite happy with that. I don't think we could have done much more with Mugabi, Donnelly and Slattery all lacking games and no bench. Plenty of positives.

I expect there will be 7 or 8 players I've never seen play for us at a game today. From the likely squad I've only seen Donnelly, Maguire, Mugabi and Watt. Can't wait to get back into Fir Park.

Reece McAlear getting a mention on Sportsound playing on loan for ICT.

It's crazy the amount of money Moult will have made for barely kicking a ball. Hopefully he makes a comeback but it does seem to be injury after injury.

He has captained his country so you would think he will be a leader on the park regardless.

O'Donnell's profile went sky high after the Wembley game and there is definitely a benefit to having a captain with a bit of a media presence. Lasley and Craigan used it well and obviously guys like Scott Brown, Davie Weir and Berra have all got away with murder due to their seniority over the years. On the other hand we had McHugh as captain who referees seemed to loathe and it definitely worked against us.

Aye but would the home team be as confident sitting in if conceding two requires scoring three?

Especially since we finished bottom. We had a huge bit of luck that our financial meltdown coincided with Falkirk trying to get promoted without a stadium.

The Celtic fans aren't too happy with him going by Twitter and Kerrydale. He's too slow apparently. I watched the game and he wasn't great but it was his clever touches that created their two best opportunities which Forrest squandered. It looked like the Danes were playing for Extra Time from kick off because they knew they had superior fitness, a consequence of scrapping the away goals rule.

If O'Donnell leaves we need to get a fee. £500k is possibly unrealistic but £250k should be the minimum.

Seedorf got a brief chance under Alexander before getting bombed out. Hopefully the same is about to happen to Lawless. Physically he is miles off the required standard. If Watt isn't happy under Alexander he can fuck off as well because we can't carry passengers. Crawford is terrible and should be no where near Fir Park. We need new midfielders plus O'Hara and Donnelly fit or replaced. Rhys McCabe got outplayed by our u20s not that long ago and bossed our the first team tonight.

It's just a fact. If he was 3-4 inches taller he would be earning big money down South and in the Scotland squad.

That's the risk with a small goalie.

McGinley standing his standard 7 yards off his man.

Cornelius has been invisible. Maguire has been ok but very little end product.

Watt no threat, Lawless offers nothing in attack, midfield three murder, both full backs use of the ball is dire. Other than that all good.

I thought we might see Donnelly, O'Hara or Lawless in there.

Another belter of a midfield.

Plus Cole was far more professional on the park. Long regularly dropped out of games, got bookings and sent off and gave away stupid fouls like the one in Israel. Long showed the right attitude in his final few games but only because he was playing for a contract elsewhere.

"Second smallest budget in the league" according to Robinson.....

Rangers are getting 17,000 for their opening fixture. 1/3 of capacity.

Hibs have got 4700 for Easter Road for their Euro tie.

I don't think they will go from 15% or 25% to 100% in 3 weeks when all restrictions are scheduled to end. Hopefully our council will be more sensible than GCC.
