    That was as bad an individual performance as I can remember. The number of times he passed the ball out of the pitch under no pressure.

    Atrocious but he's not had much game time. Willing to give him the chance given he's proven at a decent level in the not too distant past. Slight concern he might be past it but deserves a run of games before writing him off completely.

    He looked pretty bad. There were a number of ocassions he had time & space to receive on the turn and drive forward or try to play a pass, but he'd receive with his back to goal and play a safe one to a full-back or defender. You can't really do that in these games. We need to move it quickly and keep teams moving.

    His passing in general was just really sloppy but he wasn't the only one. Hopefully he gets better.

    Some of his passing the day was as bad as I've seen for a long time. * stuff.

    His performance today was no surprise to me, having suffered him for years with ROI.

    I legitimately think Bitton would be better in there than he was today.

    Praised him when he came on against Betis, but this performance sums up my previous thoughts about him. * gash.

    Honestly one of the worst performances ive seen, not hyperbole.

    Moves like he is riddled with arthritis, passing like hes blind.

    Do tell. I always thought he was "one that got away" for Scotland, but were we not missing much? I've not watched him much at all since he was at Hamilton.

    Kind of bizarre performance but I think he'll be good for us. Def a good player there.

    4 years, Christ.

    Was worth a punt for some depth, but should have been 1 year with the option of an extension.

    Not to justify it but we were never affording him unless we spread the deal over that period.

    Just shows you the crazy money average players can get down south.
