    Celtic have a goal difference of 27, with 25 goals against us (the same number against as Aberdeen). Rangers have a goal difference of 35, with only 18 goals against them. What do you think have been the biggest things that have influenced these numbers? Failure for McDonald to find a striking partner like he did last year? Injuries? * defense? Boruc not on regular form? Let me know.

    A mixture of poor defensive displays, and an off form goalkeeper have gone a long way to us conceding that amount of goals.

    i reckon artur has cost us at least four of those goals

    some dodgy defending has obviously been the root cause of many other goals

    an unsettled strike partnership is the main reason for the lower goals scored

    solutions?

    artur seems to have woken up
    the defence needs a rocket up their bahookeys
    the midfield needs to be more direct and when there is a chance to get the ball in the box they should swing it in asap
    JVOH either shapes up or ships out
    mcdonald stops moaning and gets back to the job he is very good at

    The defence has made to many errors as has Boruc just more than usuall this season.

    tbh Celtic has been * this season and we're TWO points ahead of the manky mob.. TWO?? We're supposed to be more than TEN points ahead, that's cos the huns are rotten! :31::31::31:

    * defence and Boruc has cost us some goals and points!!

    No good partnership for McDonald
