My original post has not been posted, maybe as I was on a rant? . I'll condense it this time. we were very poor! as bad against them as I remember last year! . no fight, desire or will to win! . we were overpowered in midfield (Again letting Broon to dictate play? ) we let them, by sitting back attack us wave after wave?!? .
It was a matter of time before they scored and we didn't change anything until late on? . we will improve but it doesn't stop the hurt right now! . I for one was expecting so much more as I don't think they are any better than us! . maybe I was wrong? .

Yes craig you were wrong! I have said it many times, we won't beat Celtic until we can match them in midfield!

NONE of our current midfielders would get into the Celtic team, not a single player. For us to win we need them to have an off day and for us to play at our best. Unfortunately they were at there absolute best today.

Trying to be positive, we are still a young side and will improve, we now need to concentrate on the rest of the league, and start to rack up a lot of wins, so by the time the next old firm game comes around we are still in contention.

Big big difference from last year is we were not just off the back of a horrendous journey to the unknown two days ago. Brenda even rested two or three of his players from their european game against much inferior opposition. Need to cut the guys slack. two players in their midfield cost 9million . broon was 4 1/ 2. What eight years ago so easily 10 now . We will come good . all that considered and the piggery full of them making it harder we came through it. The manks will let their guard down now. No way were we in a position to match them today. boys were dead on their feet . a european performance and it would be 1.0 at half time all to play for . I for one am still well satisfied with our progression.

I agree mols. I'm also very satisfied with how we are progressing. I would have bitten your hand off for this week's results.

Getting through to the group stages of the Europa league and coming away with a narrow defeat (I know but it was still only 1 mill) .

We need to get coulibaly back fit and into the team again. Probably at Ejaria's expense, although I think the boy will be a great player in a couple of years, his lack of experience showed today. Why he didn't foul Rogic when he had the chance is beyond me, and I don't think Celtic would have had it so easy in the centre had he been playing.

One major criticism for me was both barisic and Tav had no idea how to deal with Tierney and forrest. Along with midfield that needs seriously looked at!
