yuddie

I get it's been a big week for the lads and we're all chuffed atm, but for me it would be complete if we played St Johnstone off the park tonight. Zip and energy after a cup win instead of a massive come down with slow, turgid football. We can postpone the comedown until after we lift the league title and take a breather is my view. Here's hoping eh.

Saw this and started to crease haha

I think you can rotate v St Johnstone and still get a decent performance as long as its not wholesale. And tbh, McCausland and Dessers' legs went around the hour mark which is understandable given recent minutes, they need a rest imo.

I'd start Wright and Roofe for McCausland and Dessers tonight, maybe Ridvan for Borna too.

Aye that's fair. Although Tillman never gave the impression he wanted to stay and lo and behold, he didn't.

Can't just be me who's reading into his tweet a bit more than I should... 'look forward to more' I think there's been discussions!

Brilliant watch. Hopefully more trophy BTS to come this season.

Walter was the master of getting an extra 20% out of players who were otherwise lacking in his second spell - I'm not saying Clement is Walter of course but if he can get the players having to be dragged off the pitch with nothing left in the tank then good things will come. It's what won us 55, it wasn't our free flowing attack that won us it, it was the team grafting like fuck. Another clean sheet, we're on the right track I think. Looking forward to Wednesday!

I'm sorry to be that guy but... remain unbeaten 'til the break and we'll have a chance, the lads have a taste now so they'll surely want to attack it with everything they have. Tonight though we can all crack open whatever we fancy and enjoy a glass because that's been too long coming. Edmiston House will be bouncing haha. Merry Xmas one and all!

Seeing the kids with the players really puts it into perspective doesn't it, I hope these lads have a great night.

Crikey Butland looks massive in this interview. No wonder he doesn't get beat, blokes a giant.

I've got a lot of time for Hutton tbh, one of the few that backs us publicly and has fair opinions on football.

GET IN!

Oh aye that was a premeditated forearm to the back of the head - you can make a case for him being lucky to still be on the pitch with that and his other challenges. Not even a yellow that half. The Tim's are right, we are reffed different...but not as they know it. Shinnie is a coward and a sly bastard, and its encouraged in Scotland.

And I'm sorry for calling him out but when the game is this stuffy set pieces can be crucial...Tav's corners have been absolutely criminal. First man every time.

Ngl that was dire.

Bench is starting to look respectable again. The team I would've gone with personally. Fucking into them Rangers !

Oh aye we willingly sign crocks and are seemingly shocked when they breakdown every week. Or at least the higher ups are, it's been like this at Rangers for decades tbh - since at least the 90's. I can't recall us ever going to Parkhead with a clean bill of health for example and I've followed the team since Eck - even this season we'll have Danilo, Raskin and others missing. It's just how it is.

In fairness I don't think we were aware of his condition before signing - wasn't it flagged up after we signed him?

I'm sure I'm not the first to say it but Scott McKenna is a proverbial tap in - 27, left footed Scottish international who's played at a good level and *knows our league* (I know. Forgive me) who's been frozen out and who's contract is up in the summer... Get him signed on a pre in January early doors and then try and negotiate a fee to bring him in early from a position of strength. If not he can come in the summer. I'd be disappointed if the club haven't sounded his agent out tbh. Helps that we know Wilson, or at least it should.

Tbh I think it's better for us if we qualify, especially with our experience and coefficient ranking. Much better chance of reaching the last 16 or play off in this format than in the previous imo. But aye, we should really have 2 auto spots.

I know you jest but I think Goldson had heart surgery before coming to us. Albeit he didn't collapse, he had a defect supposedly.

C'mon lads! Let's get this won!

Nathan Patterson has been brilliant so far tonight for Everton imo. Looks like he's starting to kick on for them, great to see.
