Just seen the news about Roofe injured again and needs to see a specialist. Is out for the season. Glad I was sitting down when I read it. Such a shock.

Think heshould be released as it is unlikely he will ever feature in a sustained run of games,similarly Helander and maybe Soutar.

A big reaction needed tomorrow against Killie at Ibrox.

 

I'd expect various changes with a more attacking outlook. A pity other players remain injured but Hagi and Souttar should feature in the squad with the former perhaps more likely to play at some stage.

Can't say I am chomping at the bit to watch this game. I think some of the players feel the same way about playing in it.

Can't make it unfortunately.  Wee kiddy's birthday party instead.  Her dad knows nothing about football hence the Saturday parties.  Home game last year and this.  Maybe it is a blessing.

He might have improved but still can’t do the basics expected of a full back like stop men running at him, block crosses or track runners who end up scoring at the back post which he manages to do in every game we lose v them.

You're right of course. When we're reduced to calling Barisic one of our best players, we know we're in the shit. One of our basic structural problems is having two fullbacks who are appalling defenders and your point about defending the back post is spot on ... although I'd argue that Tavernier is even worse than Barisic. They both have to go. If we're sticking with Tavernier because of his goal stats then that tells me we need more potency elsewhere in the team. Time to leave the (largely unsuccessful) past behind.

I can't raise the willpower to drive 350 miles round trip to watch another frustrating afternoon of passing across the back line against a ten man defence. Even if we score 6 it will only reinforce the absurdity of last Sunday. Seats handed over to a more forgiving offspring.

Killie will fancy their chances we had better be on our toes.

Dawns the day, well I think it’s dawned above a blanket of cloud.

 

I wish I were going to Ibrox to cheer the famous Rangers.
