    Henderson is 100% ready, some glimpse of Connell looking good, seems to have good positional sense. Big Jullien looks comfortable, him and Ajer will be good to see. Morgan I thought was good, has great energy and skills.

    Griff is back, Broony is superfit, Christie getting ready to sparkle, Callum is Callum, as is Jamesy. Our back up keeping position looks ok, no need to panic there.

    Sincy is looking sharp enough, apart from that sitter, least he was in the right place which is more important, he won't miss a lot like that. Him and Hendo already developing an understanding, that would be special football.

    Eddy ever inventive nearly won the game after a couple touches.

    We should be good for the 2nd leg.

    Nothing much to say about that. RB and midfield need sorted. Good movement and creativity seriously lacking.

    This. Never bet on friendlies as the result is irrelevant to both sides.

    Watched the first half, had to go out for the second..

    What I watched was brutal. Hayes and Ralston just awful..

    Hayes I’ll give a by ball to. Hes done alright when called upon last few seasons. He’s always gonna be a step in player and that’s all. Ralston isn’t even good enough for that though.

    Not much to shout about should have scored but somehow managed not to watched Ralston and he is a bit off it his distribution isn't great some positives too be taken from the game but definitely more of a training exercise

    Both have zero quality on the ball for me..

    Low crosses to no * and touches or passes straight out the pitch..

    I don't doubt either player's desire but they aren't good enough for us..

    The hailing of Hayes is one of the most baffling things among our support...

    He’s awful.

    The last sentence has been a theme for me so far under Lennon.

    It was for a while before rodgers left but it seems to have just continued/gotten worse for me. I still think we need another class number 10.

    I'm not sold on christie as first choice in there and rogic cant be relied on it seems.

    Totally with you there mate. Maybe Sawyers could make a difference, if we can get him in. Just hope we're planning to address it.

    It’s no even the song, * players always get songs.

    It’s just the way people talk about him and defend him. He’s muck.

    Christie should always be played as a box to box but he said Lennon sees him as the 10.

    The whole team should be getting built around McGregor and Christie’s partnership in the middle.

    Anybody trying to read/analyse that game are mental. It was a friendly, fitness exercise for both sides, and it was played like a typical friendly.

    We move on.

    Speaking of Broony, on several occasions I saw him literally sprinting back to fill dangerous space, as if it were a competitive game. The way he takes the same professional approach to building match sharpness as he does to building fitness is literally inspirational. He for one is not taking the return against Sarajevo for granted.

    The song's making it worse. He tried to control it and it went out by the north stand just as it was being belted out :giggle1:

    Hail Hail the celts are here ? That one pass ya by? Haven’t seen anyone call him anything more than what he is. Squad player who can step in when other key players need a rest. To deny he had any impact last season when he played and the season before right up to his injury baffles me more than the fact fans are giving him support during a friendly game.
