    Happy with the line up. Get a win today then rest Kyogo, Turnbull, McGregor and Forrest in particular on Thursday. This is their last game for a week so let's get the job done and stay in touch at the top.

    Ange has dropped Bitton like a hot potato, I was concerned this would happen the moment Rogic returned, no way does Bitton deserve to be dropped from that MF with the way he was performing, Turnbull should be the one to miss out and if Ange thinks CalMac is a better DM than Bitton I've got to question his judgment on that call, I'd like to see data on CalMac and Bittons tackling stats because I'm certain Bitton would be winning the ball back a lot more, also adds extra height at set pieces. I don't question many of Anges selections but this one he's definitely wrong on imo.

    Imo he's looked fine in the minutes he's played but he can't be showing up well in training, it is strange he's not had more minutes with the CB and LB issues

    Tight away game with very little defending needed just creativity to make goals needed. Id question your thinking long before ange because he's correct and your not.

    I’m hoping some of Johnstone’s crap the last few games has just been from trying hard to impress coming off the bench. Hopefully starting he can settle in and prove us wrong

    I'm passed the outrage stage... so used to seeing our bench like that now that I'm just indifferent.

    Roll on January.

    Bitton is creative, it's not as if he goes backwards and sideways constantly, he wins back possession and gets it moving forward, he's better than CalMac at it in that 6 role

    Ange ain't correct on this call, not just from a playing perspective but the team also needs more height with so many short players and Bitton brings that.

    He'll come on at 70 when we need to shore up the defence to keep the lead at 6-0. So don't worry you'll see him.

    At defending set pieces we only have two players in that starting 11 (CCV, Starfelt) who you would trust to pick up a man and win the aerial battle, that's not enough

    Big chance for Mikey, too many writing him off but needs to seize his opportunity now, as he may not get many more.

    CalMac shows for the ball, making it easier to play out. Bitton still gets caught behind players too much. I’d prefer CalMac in the 6 every day of the week and twice on Sunday’s.

    The midfield of CalMac, Rogic and Turnbull were the reason for our great run until Rogic got injured. Keep success together.

    Disagree, CalMac ain't better in the 6 role than Bitton, sorry but he's not, CalMac much more suited as the box to box MF in the 8

    Today's your day Mikey. Good to see Ange backs his players. If it was Lennon he'd be trying to shoehorn bitton in at left wing
