    Commons, seeing Forrest give these teams bother and watching Tierney excel at this levels were the only positives of the campaign for me

    Forrest is getting back up there, we know he can bother teams when his tails up, at this age we want him to add in a bit of killer instinct, that's what Commons has.

    Tierney was exceptional in the games he played, a real bright spot.

    What have we learned from Europe?

    Nothing. We have failed twice to participate in the Champions League from the preceding seasons. While gaining automatic entry to the Europa League we failed to reach Europe after Christmas, not only has it got worse from contrasting it by reaching the Last 32 last year, its comfortable to state we are in terminal decline.

    Ronny Deila has been overtly advocating that we will be in the Champions League next season, I don't see where he gets this confidence or even calculates his measurements as he can't get there with him.

    The squads quality has got adequately weaker - We have just performed our worse European Group Stage campaign in our history (making Tony Mowbray look like a divinity in respect of Europe) - While our Board has no cogitation to reform the recruitment process of the Club to have the ability of bringing in greater quality.

    Its beyond me when I hear, read or even watch our fans state we will be in the Champions League next year while failing to constructing a rational reason other than "give him time" "third time lucky", I wish we will get there next season but I don't see it, see the problem is there is far too many hoping rather than facing the reality of our objectives than being selective.

    Hope the Club proves me wrong but I doubt it especially when its ran without hesitation like a plutocracy, no ambition regarding the Football Department and Deilas default denial.

    there is a massive gulf between the SPFL and other European Leagues

    I don't know if we have actually learnt anything new this year.

    It has only re-emphasized what most of us already knew. The decision-makers at the club have not taken heed of the warnings of previous campaigns. Risking Champions League qualification on chance, and thinking that signing SPL dross will cut in in Europe's premier competition seems to be their failing strategy.

    Why is the blame being directed at the board. Ronny has received more than enough backing to get to the CL, or even through our Europa League group.

    Our budget dwarfs that off Malmo, Legia & Maribor. Sorry Ronny, 3 strikes..Your out!
