Uh oh, Eduard has tested positive for Covid. Given he played against saints on Sunday, is there a risk our players might have to self isolate? Could this game begin doubt? 

It’s Kelty we are playing and let’s be honest they probably have worse infections there to worry about.

That explains why he was shit on Sunday.

Assume he will have to isolate in France & be unavailable for OF game.

Tonight has 'banana skin' written all over it. Easton & Scobbie would have a point to prove you would think.

Going to be interesting to see how our front players do with the new guy coming on board in the coming weeks. The likes of May & Hendry have to start scoring...otherwise they could well find themselves benched for a fairly lengthy spell.

The Edouard thing is interesting...I assume he was tested Monday, getting the results Tuesday, which you would think makes him a covid risk on the Sunday game just past....Davidson will be praying that our tests don't show anything nasty, our squad is depleted as it is.

Wonder if Celtic have any others...would be amusing if they had to forfeit the old firm game...not going to happen obviously, but still.

The positives....we are winning....they havent really threatened.....Rooney is a willing runner.

The negatives....Rooney can't pass, cross or head the ball properly. Other than the goal we haven't threatened that much. Until the goal our headers at corners were laughable. Our 'positive' passing has been woeful. Its ok passing around the back and midfield when they are passing it back to the defenders or Parish, but pretty shocking when trying to make an attacking pass.

Kane and Hendry have been very quiet...can't work out if its 'cos the service has been poor, or they simply aren't showing enough to give the other players an option.

Much much better in the second half (well in the first part of it anyway). I counted five good chances before Kane put away the second, which was good combination between the front two.

The game was much closer than it should have been. Tanser again not tackling properly and Parish not covering himself in glory with the shot. Looked quite tame, but he was wrong footed by it. Still, kind of shot I would expect a keeper to save.

Not sure Kelty will prove to be much opposition to United, like us, they should be quite comfortable against them.

Surely this is a wind up? The only person at fault for that goal is Parish who let a tame shot from 25/30 yards go in virtually to the centre of the goal.

It was his weak attempted tackle that let the lad get in position to shoot.

100% his fault.

So he missed a tackle from 30 yards out (not unlike many players tonight) and it’s his fault the keeper lets practically a daisy cutter go in from that distance. Whereby he could pick the ball up if he simply stood still in the middle of the goals. Aye alright, May as well blame Hendry for not closing down the original long ball if that’s how blame is being apportioned.
