A lot of chat after the old firm so I might as well put my 2 pence in.

Disappointing in the end as we took them by surprise and showed in the first 30 mins that when Celtic are under the cosh their defence can look as suspect as any. Sviatchencko got away with murder a couple of times. For some reason we can't keep that type of performance up which is a real shame but Celtic upped their game after the equaliser and deservedly won. We had a couple of chances to possibly nick a draw but it's unacceptable how our heads go down after conceding.

Tav is seriously off form or out of his depth. He needs the McKay treatment. Hodson all day long should have played. As we all know he is a much better defender but attacking wise he is pretty solid and realiable.

Halliday and Holt don't have the technical ability to control a mid field. Neither can read a game well, neither has a good passing range or can tackle. Trying hard can only get you so far. Windass wasn't much better he hid from the occasion apart from his role in the goal.

Foderingham is maturing into a really good solid keeper, McKay was superb as well as Miller but it's not enough only having 3 players actually looking like they wanted to win the game.

For me, again, the game was screaming out for someone like O'Halloran who would have been the perfect outball. Celtic found it hard to contain McKay running at them at times so he would have made life twice as difficult with his direct approach. Could have been different if it was him running clean through on goal from those couple of chances Waghorn and Forrester had in the 2nd half. The manager must know something we don't.

Hope to see some improvement up front after the winter break and hopefully we can bring in a couple of the right players we need.

Hope you all had a good new year. Onwards and upwards guys.

Your summation of Halliday and Holt is pretty accurate. Halliday totally lacks guile and on Saturday there was little positive to say about his game.

We must sign a quality midfield player in January to replace Halliday since there is clearly no guarantees that Crooks and Rossiter will be fit any time soon.

I agree with most of it Keven lad although thought windlass had a good game.

Windass was worse than awful and should have been hooked long before he did. Clearly didn't fancy it and didn't want to get involved.

Bit harsh stewie he was best of our midfielders, he has abit of maturing to do and would benefit massively from an experienced anchorman but on the ball he is tidy! Agree with most of your post leven lad and the reason for our heads dropping is experience and leadership were carrying too many players, yes we need to sign quality but I belive we must sign experience and that doesn't mean 34 year olds just guys who have won something played at a decent level!

Tom usa your 100% right also Kieran is an accident waiting to happen, and Wilson always ball watches, neither one is good enough.
