I believe, Gerrard had told the team on the basis of the UFA game and Celtics sub-par performances of late to let them have the ball, and shut down only in the final third. Although scary to watch, the team coped reasonably well and got through that first half unscathed. 2nd half we were shutting down higher up and winning the midfield battles only to be let down with yet another 'honest mistake' from the ref.

Jack was fouled by Rogic. Simple as, and when the 4th official is shouting "foul foul foul", only to be ignored then i think we can count ourselves more than a little unlucky not to get something from the game. Then there's that Christie Foul, he cheated yet, I count at least 3 or 4 times Morelos "rolled" his defender only to be fouled, and it not being picked up on. Lads, Celtic are no great shakes, and while it was disappointing not to get at them from Kick Off, I still think if we did, they may have ran over the top of us towards the end of the match as we would tire. A good break to get the whole squad fit, and then hopefully a good run of games where we can get on a wee run.

I hate to say it but they were far superior in ball retention and movement off the ball than we were. They won first and second balls always with an outlet. The game passed too many by without any real impact. Yes we defended and yes second half we did a little better.1-0 could have been more if it wasn’t for McGregor and the wood work. Whether we restricted them to shots outside of the box or not they still had shots and up teen corners.

We will get better and we will learn from this and at Ibrox in December give them a better game. yet again brown ran there midfield. is he better than what we have. NO. he is confident and and not scared to play. Once our team are buzzing we will wipe that smile off his Lego head.

We were shattered . simple as that 4.500 mile trip playing no winning a european tie with ten no nine men. what do punters expect. We are human no robots . many top premier teams lose frequently to inferior opposition on the back of a european journey never mind playing the mankies to a full house of the baying smelliest . battle lost. war there to be won 👍🇬🇧.
