Could have been worse. Ross Co midweek might give us a slight advantage with a lower travelling support. Well away on the last game has bad flashbacks though to the last relegation decider there.

Not many pluses from that. Adama did ok but needs a striking partner and IMHO Clark isn't putting in the effort needed for that role. Defensively we missed Gordon but the whole back line while it looked comfortable is too slow. How often did the come close to getting caught in possession. At least Keltjens came onto a better game and looked good going forward in the 2nd half. Midfield is a worry. Max tried but is too lightweight for me. Smith seemed to be colliding with everyone and Dan was another that let himself get closed down too easily. Lot of work needed over the next couple of weeks to get some fight into this team for the remaining games

Not just you

Been out for a few weeks. Hopefully back before end of the season

Bloody referee more like. Between match officials, Var and the bloody woodwork I'm starting to think the Gods have it in for us

Could be a back 4 with Gallacher further forward. Decent lineup given the injury situation. Not sure there's much you could change. Crawford on the bench shows how much we're lacking numbers in the squad

I think part of that was the interview with Connor earlier in the week when he said stuff about his performance at Dens. Presumably Eric was just following it up with Levein.

Not sure but Gallacher's performance off the bench was pretty good.

Crap - mindset has little to do with it. Yes we've got a turnover of 12m but what is Celtics turnover compared to that. The fact is they can stick millions of pounds worth of players on the bench while we have the likes of Gallacher, Fran, May and a relatively untried non-league player up front. FWIW I thought we played too deep today with plenty of effort and good play at times. But that wasn't what let us down - the failure to find a man when playing the ball out coupled with bad luck (Sven's injury disrupted our shape) and individual errors let us down. Nobody this week has said that this is a benchmark result for the team - I'm sure I'm not the only one that thought it was a free hit and if we didn't get any points it wasn't that big a deal. The remaining games are what counts and that's what the management need to be judged on.

Nice finish from Connor Smith there

DJ out for potentially weeks with knee injury - possible ligament damage.

Made heavy weather of it against a bunch of cheating time wasters and an incompetent ref. Probably didn't deserve 3 points but didn't deserve to lose either. Giod goal from Nicky as well.

Good to see Adama back on the bench as well.

Really good performance. DJ was excellent on the left wing, Benji great up front and the midfield trio never gave up. Couple of nervy moments but more than happy with the performance, attitude and hunger shown on the park.

Good looking lineup - hopefully means we're getting stuck into them from the off
