No, I'm in Yorkshire atm I'm just jumping to what may very well be an incorrect conclusion based on previous experience tbh..

Get to half time. Just get there.

 

Massive team talk. 

 

Approach it professionally, Don't panic, Go out and get the job done second half.

A footballing rope-a-dope?

 

Yip, and usually that favours the team in possession but they are going about things at a blistering pace with hopefully no end product.

We're holding too deep. That needs to change, but Celtic are absolutely pish. Regardless of the result today, they've got a big rebuilding job to do

Guys maybe chosen a duff example but the underlying problem is decades old

Can't believe I'm saying this at 1 nil up but we've been a bit disjointed this half. Get a bit of fluency going and we should win this....

You are kidding?  He is playing far better than Beni is.

 

 

Not a high bar to clear so far. Just not much happening in our central midfield  in general tbh. We're either going down the flanks or over the top. We need to take control 9f the middle, they're seeing far too much possession.

We need Bruno Aguiar in the midfeild. Someone who is happy to take possesion surrounded by 4 players. And come away in possesion and facing the right direction

How much do I love having Craig Gordon back. Solid, dependable, never have to worry about silly mistakes. And of course, capable of world class saves when needed.....

Blistering pace????

Celtic have had the ball, not done a lot with it but have shown absolutely zero pace.

We’ve basically shit it since the goal😡


Not really - the bottom line is our team does not have the quality of Celtic players. We are giving it 100% but we are getting dominated.

Delighted with the scoreline and work ethic but absolutely nothing in possession at all and we've barely strung two passes together. 

 

We can't just hing on for another 45 minutes, we need to keep the ball a bit better.

He's just absolutely brilliant, isn't he. Class act.

Take that at half time.

 

Need to do better when on ball though.

 

Celtic have a lot of ball but never really troubling us.

 

Halliday/Kingsley doing well.

Well, we’ve been poor but the good news is we’re winning.  Need more composure on the ball and there’s a 2nd goal against this defence but keep inviting them on and it’s just a matter of time til they score.

Not sure about the formation. Lad on their right is getting on the end of everything. Need another man in the middle I think. 
 

that said, Baningime is class. 
 

Halliday looks well off the pace.

I wouldn't worry about it. When Rangers get pumped or win the booking count tends to stay the same. The exception being in Europe

Credit where credit is due to Robbie.

 

A masterclass in counter attacking football that first half.

 

Lots of energy spent closing it down deep in our half then using the pace out wide.

 

Hope we can keep the energy levels up!

More bloody like it. Not perfect but we're getting there. Beni looks decent, very cool headed. Boyce needs to improve. Ginelly back on form. GMS having a great game.

I feel that is more to do with Kingsley not getting out to help Cochrane quickly enough

I'll take that. Need a second early on after HT. Can't sit deep in the second half or they will likely pull one back.

Celtic could do with a keeper of Craig's calibre...oh wait!

Loving that we are playing with passion and did well to get to half time one nil up.   We can do better than this 2nd half though and need to get further up the field and put this defence under pressure.   Well done Beni, what a fast paced game make your debut in,  will be a player for us no doubt.

Imagine if Pereira was between the sticks right now?


It genuinely would be 3-1 Celtic of that there is no argument. Even routine saves that craigy does he does them well.
