    It’s the equivalent of one of our midfielders handing the ball to his direct opponent, no difference whatsoever.

    Pressure right back on top of you straight away.

    Great half. Could have maybe scored another if we were a bit more clinical. But what an improvement.

    Best half against decent opposition I have seen in a long time. Great work. A bit scared at how much faster they are to the second ball though. I feel they will definitely get 1 good chance.

    Great to see us really playing without fear against quality opposition. This is the way i want to see us approach things, not sitting back and hoping to get something.

    Apart from Gordon's awful distribution and Rogic not turning up at all, the whole team has been immense. Need Rogic to turn up second half.

    How long can we keep this up?

    This is why pass-backs should be avoided. Punt it up if under pressure. Edouard will fight for it, and it gives the defense a chance to reposition properly.

    Great first half. The rain should be considered when taking shots- the ball is slippery, so going for a ground shot would be useful.

    Good first half. This mob look far better this time around.

    We can score again, just need to keep it tight for the first ten min of the 2nd half.

    That was so good..

    You could see we were nervous to start with with the step up but just before the goal we were pressing high up and quicker with our passing..

    Beat them at their own game pressing high at time's and with our tempo that has shocked them..

    Played some beautiful 1 touch quick football in and out of trouble from back to front..

    Forrest. Wow. He's top drawer and can ruin any side on his day..

    KT on the other side. His pace is also frightening and his willingness to get forward is killing their right back massively..

    Edouard been terrific at time's. Strength and pace. Holding it up. Still too greedy though. Took the freekick when told to leave it and shot from a worldy KT cross when Rogic was free I think..

    Centre halves that can defend and trust each other, composed. Remember them. What a difference..

    Tam and McGregor keeping it neat and tidy in the middle and putting in a shift. Christie too to a lesser extent..

    Sinclair grafting like *..

    Our tenacity and quality is there for all to see. You can clearly tell we're a team playing well and when we are....we're a good side..

    Hopefully grab another early second half and get Mulumbu on..

    I've been an advocate of Gordon for a while now but always slammed him for his distribution.....if there's not a man showing for an easy no-risk ball then * hoof it. We can't afford to give the ball away in this area so easily at this level or we WILL be punished!!!

    If no man is showing then * lump it and deal with it later....it's not * rocket science!!! I get he wants us to play out but * that when there's not a * ball on!!!

    Dodgy opening 10 mins. Played well after that. Should have at least one more goal, we will probably need more than one goal.

    Mon Celtic!
