I didnt have a good feeling about this today and it proved correct.

That’s probably the worst we’ve played this season and i felt similar last week that we didn’t really look like scoring from open play

ok we have loads of possession and look tidy but Dundee just seemed stronger today. Really disappointing. Best we can hope for now is 4th and to cause a bit of trouble to the top 3.

Wish they hadn't wasted that opportunity in cup with so many changes, season over now apart from Europe places. However goin by today no guarantee we would have beat Dunfermline. 

Apart from European places? That's about as good as it gets apart from a cup win , which is always a long shot

The sad thing is that when we look back on what’s been a great season with so many good results , the results that have really killed it have been 3 winable games.

St Mirren in the cup semi final.

Aberdeen in the Scottish cup .

And today away to Dundee. 

This team could have been legends but the In years to come we’ll look back on this at it will be just another hard luck story.

The importance of the game got to a few of our players today.

Dundee defended deep with little space and we had no answers. 

Gave away a soft opening goal and had to chase thereafter.

Would like to see the penalty claim with Cook after we scored. But i guess we aint the old firm and VAR had fell asleep.

Poor performance. Did we have a shot at goal apart from free kicks? To be honest you could have subbed anyone today. Maybe some of them like Maswhansie and Just believing the press hype that appeared this week with talk of big moves. I am afraid that Dundee wanted it more and thoroughly deserved the win. That's three times we have bottled it when it really mattered. Twice in the cups and then today. Had to feel for Priestman. Comes on as a sub and then gets subbed. Especially when Just was screaming to be subbed today

He was holding on to the defender and fell no penalty

I just get over emotional as this was our only hope of a league title but we've blown it before we have even got to the split. Was probably a pipe dream and still been an amazing season.  Would love it if we could beat that horrible mob next week

Thought JT was very poor today. But as there was no space it was not really a game for him.

We bring on the big man, but given we cant cross a ball it was always going to be difficult for him.

When we scored we needed to calm the game down. It became to frantic and left us open at back. 

A point at that point was better than nothing.

For once our defence let us down with punts up the park. 

Hope Fadinger is ok as we missed him.

We were never going to win the league, this should relieve any pressure that was on us and we can go out and enjoy the rest of the season, causing mayhem to the other 3. 

This has crossed my mind also.

Ffs why are people still going on about the 5 changes that put us out of the cup. It was 10 men after 3 mins and 9 after 46 down to ridiculous referreeing and var,that put us out that renders any changes or game plan irrelevant. 

Only our 4th defeat in 29 games today, the title might be a step too far now, but our start to the season made that an unrealistic objective. We can still finish 2nd or 3rd and qualify for Europe, which given where we were at the start of the season most fans would have bitten your hand off for a finish like that.

Its a sore one today especially after pulling it back to 1-1, but there are 27 points left to play for,  so runners up and a champions league spot anyone

I never thought we'd finish in the top 3 and today's result hasn't changed my mind. There's still a lot to play for as 4th place is by no means guaranteed. I felt that, going into today's game, we  needed to keep our feet on the ground. That result today will help and temper the expectations of many. 

If there was any doubt about our lack of bottle and ruthlessness then Dundee have removed that. It will prove to be a valuable lesson going forward. 

We're having a fantastic season, but still have shortcomings that need rectified

I actually thought Priestman played well when he came on.

It’ll be really interesting how we recover from this today in next weeks game. I’m hoping to see some real determination at Celtic park and I hope that defeat today hurts the players and hurts Askou
