Fatigue can dictate tactics , there isn't way we were going to press the ball today , just wasn't going to happen .

You can explain it , they were at home , playing in front of their own fans , in a game against a very poor team , they were in their beds by 11 o'clock , we player 53 minutes with 10 men , then 9 men against a decent team ,away from home , you would be lucky if they got to their beds before 5am . you simply cannot ignore that , the percentage of teams that play away games in Europe and drop points next game is astonishingly high . im as disappointed as anyone .

I've watched Walters teams over the years , packed with superstars put in worse performances than that , ok we won a lot but we also got scudded in a lot , it's all about perspective , their teams has players that have played together for nearly 2-3 years and no each other , we had a whole new team playing , we will get stronger , I firmly believe it .

I really believe that Thursday night efforts were a massive factor in this , but it's only 1 game and we need to regroup .

Celtic thoroughly deserved this. Our midfield since losing Coulibaly just doesn't look right , but we are a much harder team to beat, are just missing that 1 player that will bring it all together .All this from 1 transfer window . Given what we have spent and what we have brought in from Europe we are in surplus , the future is looking really good , just hope we don't lose perspective on where we are going.

Very much a Walteresque performance , Thursday night has taken a lot out of these players , anyone who thought we would play a high press today is kidding themselves , long way to go yet .

Strange that the team that offered Dundee mega money for him last year didn't come back in for him .

The turnover of players has been remarkable , just goes to show what happens when a manager and D of F work properly together , and all the prophets of doom that predicted disaster are left looking stupi .

Yeah , just had confirmation from the SLO , game is on as normal date .

Does anyone know if the Dundee game will still be on the 15th of Sept , have hospitality and need to get my annual leave sorted .

I take it the Dundee home game won't be getting moved fromSat 15th now .Got hospitality and just sorting out my annual leave .

Yeah that's totally different , im just talking about the qualifying rounds to get into the actual Europa league , I believe its only been done 8 times now and we are the only British team to do it .

They weren't in the Europa league 1st round , even Burnley started I round 2

First British team actually

We have just qualified , having played in Macedonia , Slovenia , Croatia and finally Russia , in all those 8 games we were behind not I repeat not a fucking single minute , let that sink in a minute , then smile , its great to be a bear .

on the flip side , results like today are priceless , team spirit and bonding will be off the scales after that performance , these players will die for each other now , (not literally of course ).

Im absolutely buzzing , what a performance from the gallant 9 in blue , Ref had a shocker yet again , both 2nd yellows extremely soft in my opinion , but were on our way lads we are on our fucking way . 1 of only 4 teams to have ever reached the group stages from the 1st qualifier

Rangers youths , U15s won their tournament in Holland today , winning the final 2_1

I don't believe they score loads of goals at home , something I'm quite grateful about , however I didn't see us losing 2 never mind 3 goals today .

Leagues aren't won or lost in August , the over reaction is a sign of how high the expectations are now amongst our support . we need to try and keep a sensible head on things , look at the change in the squad , the massive strides forward that we have taken , yes we are all disappointed but some of the stuff I've read on other sites and Twitter is simply way way way OTT .

Ewe are starting to tire , which is no wonder given the shifts we have put in lately .

Ejaria , really is turning into some player , he makes his own space effortlessly

Can you imagine how this would have turned out last year, doesn't bare thinking about .

Love it, love it , love it , good old Scottish football , proper mans game .
