    If Ralston can do it then maybe he can too. It'll be some turnaround.

    Much better second half but he’s a concern.

    Stepped up big time in the 2nd half. A lot of players would have dropped the heads after that first half so he deserves credit imo.

    Now that Ive calmed down from his embarrassing own goal, he has to be given credit for having the character to put in a very strong performance in the second half and playing a big part in us seeing that game out tonight.

    Second half he was excellent in fairness but the guy gives you nightmares. Morelos will be absolutely rubbing his hands at the thought of getting to go up against him at the weekend.

    Absolute shocker for the goal. What I will say though, it would have been easy for him to then go on make plenty more mistakes as his confidence must have been shot to pieces. He stood tall second half though and played a big part in us keeping them out second half, so fair play to him.

    That own goal. Honestly it's up there with the worst defending I've ever seen. It's the kind of thing you'd do down the park with your pals.

    Better second half, made one * of a challenge, but he's been an utter donkey so far.

    Think the Rangers game could make or break him tbh, he was excellent in the second half to be fair to him but that own goal was horrendous.

    He’s only been here ten minutes and knows little of his teammates, club etc he’s just been called up for the Swedish squad so they’ve got to know his qualities/failings for a while and still think he’s worth a call up, give him time, that second half performance took some balls so let’s give him a chance to gel with Julian if he ever returns

    This has been the issue so far though nearly in every game he has that one absolute calamity in him. Needs to cut it out.

    Really good second half and done well mentally to come back from the horrendous OG. Still a concern that he's almost guaranteed to make a howler a game.

    He's a third choice CB, for me.

    2nd half proved he has something in him but the mistakes etc will mean he isn't one to be part of our first choice pairing. Looks bereft of confidence or any passion.

    I know it's not always the way to judge players, going by their international caps. But the fact Helander has a dozen more caps than him got the alarm bells ringing. At the Euros, a 36 year old Granqvist was in the squad. Even Danielson who is playing in China at the age of 32 having never played outside Sweden before was there.

    Hopefully he turns it round and does the business, but right now it's looking like a really strange signing.

    Mentioned this as a concern before he signed but was kind of shrugged off by people saying Danielson and Granqvist are really good etc etc.

    But no denying its a worry.

    I wouldn't say he was that good second half by the way. Improved a bit but was still sloppy..

    Got caught out and then nutmegged terribly in the box that almost led to a goal..

    His passing is beyond brutal as well. We've done the right thing and changed from from left centre half to right, yet his passing still hasn't improved..

    Granqvist definitely used to be good and Danielson was impressive at the Euros. But we shouldn't really be signing a centre half who can't get a game ahead of or alongside one of those.

    O'Donnell is Scotland's number 1 right back, sometimes managers have their favourites.
