SG must take some blame, surrendering the midfield. Not really. You have to give it to them, since they pushed us back all day long. IMHO, Kent wasn't the right chap to stop Tierney, their wingers were nigh almost on top of us. We sure lacked a player in the middle to take up the ball and responsibility ... some to keep it there. As is often tha case, those earmarked for that were injured at the "right" time, namely Coulibaly and Rossiter. So it was them being on top of us rather than us "not testing them" BTW, I do have a special MC commemorating the 92/93 season and we played a League Cup game there against them at Ibrox, won 1-0 and they battered us left, right and centre. But we won. I reckon SG and his team will have learned a lot about the OF today. Edited September 2, 2018 by der Berliner 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our set up allowed their best player (Ntcham) to dictate play I agree we did allow their deep playmakers to dictate play, but I would much rather -- If we're not going to press them -- we gave them the ball deep and marked their passing options. I felt we did that. Broon and Ntcham had plenty of time of the ball but McGregor, Rogic and that other one were never in the game. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
magic hat 17 Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 Calm down its only 3 points. We still to play them 3 times or more this season. Ejaria let them score he didn't pick up his man. He should of had a free kick. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

trublusince1982 243 Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 If it wasn't for a referring error looking at nil nil. We had couple of first team players out they were full strength and at home. The league is on.???????????? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
der Berliner 3,747 Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 On a wee sidenote, this was our 13th game of the season, it is September 2nd, BTW. We've just been back from a 6.000 mile journey from the middle of no-where, having had to play with 9 men. Our third difficult away game on the trott. Call it what you will, but that scheduling by the SFA was as shyte as the man in black today. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
barca72 440 Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 Totally deflated by the tactical performance today. Thank God for Alan McGregor. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ser Barristan Selmy 222 Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 We were garbage today against an awful Celtic team. Felt like Walter in Europe, only we weren’t against a good team. Nothing more to add 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
