    Both semis are at Hampden. Avoiding the zombies in the semi means if we get through we'll have more time to learn Ange's tactics and hopefully a few players back to full fitness too.

    Agreed we need Kyogo back. I think a big part of our play being boring atm is Ajeti up front. No decent movement or pace from him to cause trouble to a defence, and can't hold up play or link up play to bring others into it. Struggling to see what he brings to the team to be honest.

    I also think we need to go for just one of turnbull or Rogic in the team. Their fitness, pace, athleticism etc is below par for a professional footballer, especially for the style Ange claims to want to play. We play enough games to rotate them, or play one for 60 mins the other for 30 mins.

    Not convinced, I'd go and hire Gordon Strachan now.

    Not impressed with the refereeing in any game I have watched.

    It wasn't great but hiring Wee Gordon right away?

    Like asking me if I want this sore foreskin and chaffed helmet fixed with a bat wrapped in barbed wired struck against my nether regions.

    You need a better option than WGS.

    Missed the game, too late a kick off.

    Had a wee sift through the thread.... Were we REALLY that unimpressive? Or are folk just throwing a moody because the score wasn't higher?

    Watched the highlights and thought we looked good enough, especially with so many out.

    Does scales look like he could make that position his own?

    We weren’t too bad,just never got out of 2nd gear because we didn’t have to,which is understandable given we’re playing 2 games a week.Hoping Kyogo is fit soon to relieve Ajeti.Scales looked good and quick the little we seen of him.

    Getting the result was what mattered.

    But for me, some question marks remain. We play with so little intensity, build up play takes forever.
    Much like Livingston on Sunday, where Martindale set up his team very well to deal with Celtic´s efforts.

    Granted, the injury list is mental, but we should still be better.
    The away fixtures in October (Aberdeen, Motherwell, Hibs) gives me the fear at the moment.

    Honestly!?

    Score line and a couple of neat moments aside, I thought our overall performance was worse than that at Livingston.

    I’m getting the fear!
