I thought it was a pretty obvious penalty yesterday (having seen the replays).

I thought we played okay, against a very well organised Hibs side, in the first half. The second half was truly awful. It's depressing how often we seem utterly incapable of putting these sorts of teams away.

I'm assuming Jefte will be back in the side today. Bit of a shame for the lad who played at LB on Thursday, as he put in a good shift. Hopefully we can convert a higher percentage of chances against the Leith tramps but the main thing is 3 points.

I think spitting on them would be acceptable.

Plus our first ever victories in Spain and Sweden (additionally, wasn't it the only time a Scottish team have won in Spain?).

A bit like having two co-commemtators and three analysts, along with the commentator and presenter. So many people to watch, analyse, make decisions on and complicate a simple sport.

I think that's one of our major flaws - we do play some nice stuff but it usually lasts three or four minutes and manage it two or three times per match. We need the good spells to last longer.

Holding the ball up against four or five defenders isn't easy. It's a tough ask. But there's having a good go at it and there's just falling on your arse.

He worked hard, can't fault him for that. The main issue is his ability to hold the ball up - he really isn't very good at that. I think he's actually quite good at assists/lay-offs and his conversation rate is sometimes good/sometimes bad.

Hibs won't play like Malmo did. They'll keep it tight and be well up for it, so it's a different thing entirely. However, they're shite, so we need to beat them.

Interesting to note that the Swedish clubs (over 50% fan owned) successfully voted against using VAR in their domestic matches. A good Calvinist lot are the Swedes (apart from the Malmo manager, the bloke with a face like a Martian and Johan Mjallby).

Get intae them!

Definitely one of the most frustrating aspects of his game. Constantly bullied, giving away the ball and falling over. Imagine last night if we had a much better 9 and 10 playing (Lawrence wasn't very good either).

Be quite difficult to beat Swedish opposition in a domestic match. 🤣

Cerny and the LB missed two sitters (one each half).

I thought Bajrami was our best player. I reckon a few of the Swedes will be having nightmares about him. So I'll abstain. 🙂

Tav tonight - great in the first half but had a shaky second half.

Delighted with that. Great result. Should've been 4 or 5 though.

In other indirectly Rangers related Euro news, it was nice to see Lazio smash the cheats of Dynamo Kiev, 3-0.

We seem to manage that for about two five minute spells per match.

Couldn't agree more. All the great Rangers sides reacted well to adversity and enjoyed big pressure matches.

I voted for Barron. He adds some zip to our play when we're looking too ponderous.

Voodoo speak isn't welcome in these here parts. 😀

How are we all thinking this one will go? Looks like Cortes is injured (no news on extent of injury but he missed training today). Disappointing, as I think he looks a good prospect. I'm not confident and think we'll lose 1 or 2-0. Hope I'm wrong.
