    Not our best performance today, but 2 goals scored, none conceded and 3 points in the bag against the countries third best team.

    Great result on my old man's birthday.

    Stuffy game/opponent, * second half, 3 points and another clean sheet.
    Thought cbs both did well with a minimum of fuss, officials were howling.
    Next.

    We where never threatened by that mob. 0 shots on target tells a story about a well oiled defence. Would have prefered a more flashy win, but it’s a luxury problem more than anything. Three new points and a widening gap is whats important now. On to the next one.

    2nd half was really poor by our standards until the subs came on, still looked half asleep but got the job done and barely gave them a sniff.

    On another day we would of smashed them. So many wrong options taken, a few dodgy offside calls and fresh air swipes.

    Another win is all that matters.

    Neilson is a dirty miserable moaning git. He did shake players hands when he came on to speak to the ref at full time, which I always like to see

    Not the best of performances to be honest but three points won and that's the main thing. We are still wasteful in front of goals and someone should be taking a gamble by making a near post run for the crosses being put in by Jota. Thought the linesmen were a joke today, especially in the first half, and the hearts players can have no complaints about their red cards although Neilson will be moaning as per usual

    Aye, watch him praise the huns when they beat him after being denied 2 penalties and the huns scoring an offside goal to win it.

    We’ve played 4 games this season got 12 points, we had played 7 last season and only had 10 points, so 2 points better off after 3 less games, also lost our first 3 away games, so night and day start from this time last season- we’ve been better away so far than we’ve been at home

    Lovely weekend for us… perfect set of results …
    Top of the league by points and building a decent GD.

    Cant ask for much more right now… although Ange will which is reassuring.

    Onwards !!!

    First half I thought we were good, but lacking a finish. Second half came out like the game was over and couldn't lift our game.

    We still had a lot of clear chances to win comfortably.

    Not sure what to make of the performance tbh.

    We were brilliant first half. Looked slick, quick, and could've scored at any moment. It was clear that the game plan was to isolate Jota against Atkinson but the young Aussie did well. Not sure why there wasn't more interplay down the right hand side to change it up, because that's where Kyogo's goal came from. MoR quiet, defence largely untroubled.

    Second half was just a different story. Not only did we look like we didn't come out of the sheds, but Hearts actually had periods where they pinned us back and looked threatening. Some times it's just worth remembering that we aren't going to dominate EVERY team from the first whistle to the last, and perhaps it's ok to pump the ball into the opposition half just to re-set and win the ball back a bit higher.

    All in all, we scored 2 goals, kept a clean sheet and brought home the 3 points on a weekend where our closest competition dropped points. Can't really complain but it leaves room for improvement.

    Absolutely no complaints.

    Three points. Two goals. One clean sheet.

    They had one shot at goal in 90 minutes and it was off target.

    Bring on the next round.

    Whatever deal that they signed last time needs a proper audit and in-depth look at current viewer statistics, including illegal streams. I would say that the overseas viewing has increased significantly on the back of the Japanese and Australian audiences.

    I know myself, I watch every Celtic game from Australia, I subscribe to the local owner of the SPL rights. If it’s not being shown there, I’ll find my way to watch it. I’ll also take in the odd hun and diets game, if there’s no other game that I fancy to watch, and especially if I think the huns are a chance of dropping points.

    The league is in desperate need of a better deal.

    On the game itself, we weren’t out our best, but job done… mind the gap…

    thought it was a comfortable win but with only the 1 goal lead there was always the chance to drop points ,we should of killed the game off a lot sooner but for a lack of quality in the final 3rd .if we are to make an improvement this year that has to be addressed.a win is a win but there will be tougher games ahead and we will need to be much better at creating chances
