It's the hope that kills you that was an average team but they know what it takes to win big games and have kyogo who had 1 chance and scored we've got Dessers whos simply not good enough I also think the mental scars from prebious defeats haven't healed and we must look to get a striker 2 ch a lb although yilmaz played well and 1 winger and a cm btw sterling was good and we re still in this race.

Koygo had more than once chance he slid in missed the ball twice before the goal.

It’s that onewalter and more, really frustrating after seeing their back line, we had two clear breakaways in first half but failed to convert, need to take big chances in these games and your right they have quality up top and we don’t, we don’t punish them for errors but they punish ours.
They also have belief in these games and I agree we don’t.
It’s a big problem.
To be successful in the league these games are the acid test.
I believe though that after a couple of windows we will be much better.
Just hard to take at the moment.

I really thought the back line was fine today. Balogan had one bad moment of judgement. Sterling and Lundstram were also fine. Where it wasnt fine was Sima, Cantwell, Dessers and McAusland off the ball. I didn't think they created any defensive pressure. Cantwell was absolutely owned by macgregor today and maybe that was the difference in this game. Other than the first fifteen minutes and kyogo’s 3 seconds of space they didn't look dangerous. But cantwell couldn't get anything going vs macgregor which left us lumping long balls up to sima, dessers and macausland. And dessers! The guy can run he’s fit physical but can't kick or dribble a ball. he's just not any good. Sakala has 10 times the talent and he was run out of town for not being rangers class.

Dessers didn’t really get any quality service.
Any chances he did have were created by his own persistence.

I kinda knew what the site would be like after the game and wasn't going to come on but hey ho here goes.
I never believed we would get to the end of the season without losing a game. Although disappointing better to hit this loss now rather than at the tail end of the season when hopefully we will still be in contention for the league.
They say you learn more in adversity so hopefully our manager now has a clearer picture of what is required.
I agree there is a huge amount of work to be done in moving players on and replacing with better but it's not all going to happen in January.
Celtic were able to change their front 3 during the game, what did we have on the bench to do that, Scott Wright.
Win our two games in hand and we're only two points off with two old firms to play.
Celtic will drop more points before season end.
It may be the hope that kills you but I will never stop hoping.

OneWalter - Couldn’t agree more.
Dessers has been a bang average at best signing who really hasn’t turned up yet apart from a couple of decent games.
If Lammers can’t get a game in such a threadbare lineup then he has to go and be replaced with some quality.
The officials were terrible today but we should still have scored at least two more goals.
The linger time goes on the worse Beale’s transfers seem to be.
We absolutely must add a winger, Striker and left sided defender.
Lack of attacking quality lost us that game today in my opinion.

Dessers is like a 45 year old man playing. Utterly pathetic. We need 1 more striker in badly i am done with him.

And that's the point I made about shankland dessers or shankland dessers is a liability look at the attempt he had when through on goal shankland would've put that away the money we have wasted on dessers and lammers what a complete waist of money get rid of dessers, lammers, wright, Davies, give hearts souttar and 3 mil for shankland.

Dessers should not again wear that No9 jersey, he's hopeless and that's being kind to him. MacGregor had Cantwell in his pocket, sorry folks, but I'm undecided about Cantwell. We need to sign a striker to play on Tuesday, we can't trust the forwards we have at present to win us a title. we've now handed back the initiative to them.

On the Red Card, no complaints, BUT, why did Johnson not get a second yellow for the forearm on Sima.

I've seen us have less of the game and win games, we just don't have that edge in these big games enough. Anyway we move on.

OK,
Don’t want to knee jerk so will point out that big Phill has worked wonders to get this team within touching distance of Celtic a trophy and Europa league last 16.
I struggle to believe we will challenge for the title with Dessers as our focal point up front.
I’d negotiate a fee with Hearts to secure Shankland but I’m open to other opinions.
My question's to everyone on here,
1-can we go with Dessers and Silva as our only fit strikers without strengthening in that area,
2-should we be negotiating with Hearts for Shankland?
3-if not Shankland who can we get for similar money or less including the wages that player will demand?

you seem to love kyogo, you even said some people said shanks was better, only in your head, nobody ever said that, but we need shanks just to keep us in this race, if he's available and rangers don't pay, that to me would be terrible

we are talking about a couple of million here, maybe 3

we've paid more fir donkeys.

Yilmaz didn't play well.
