Lowry looks to be a footballer 

Hate to say it but Barrie McKay doesn’t score there.

Folk just realising our defence is a shambles without Halkett.

That said there is no excuse for showing him inside, we have done it a couple of times.

Hopefully Halkett and Soapy are ready for next week, if not we are in trouble.

Pray for Halkett and Souttar starting the final. 
 

Also Smiths legs look to be away, Atkinson for the final please

Might be an unpopular opinion on here but I really think Boyce is a very decent player who's just having an off period just now.

I agree with you

Free header for first Smith totally exposed for 2nd. Don't care about result....... but I pray Souttar and Halkett are back. Atkinson too!

Get Souttar and halks on after half time and get natty akka on too, need to show more in second half, we're up against a Rangers reserve team here. Must do better in the second half without anyone getting injured.

Sibbick lets the shot through.No attempt to block.Why when we lose a bad goal is nobody getting the finger pointed.Just Goedon with a look of resignation.

Getting our arses felt by Rangers reserves isn't exactly a confidence builder.

If this is these players trying to get in a cup final team we’re in trouble. If Halkett/Souttar don’t play today I very much doubt they’re playing next week

Robbie leading them into a false sense of security for next week, it's all going to plan at the moment.

Laurie saying not enough in it to be a pen.

Laurie was wrong there.  Defender clearly puts his hands on McKay in the box.  Penalty.

Trying to blame Sibbick.  Pathetic!

Said it for a long time we’ll before his injury. If Michael Smith had a future at hearts it’s as a back up centre back. Somewhere where limited speed and mobility can be managed. 
 

his days as a right back are over. Despite having areas he need to work on Natty Akkas introduction to the team after Christmas very important in our strong run

Folk going on about not caring about the result and yet here we are 🤦🏻

I don't think anyone cared so much until they seen how strong a team we've put out.

For Hearts? Against Newco? Not in a month of Sundays. Even in a meaningless game.

Better not necessarily physical. 

Certainly a few of their academy players aren’t afraid of a firm tackle, our boys clearly don’t want anything to do with it.

They are going to give us a going over next week with their full strength side. The results and performances against County, Celtc and Motherwell are not what we would've wanted in our prep, and people can call them meaningless all they want but they do have an effect on the team. IMO obviously.

 

 

Not sure that will effect the game much as  opposed to them being better. 

 

Still believe the cup final is all about the day. 

Not much before will effect us. 

If it did we'd never beat them again.

Not exactly our first team either but it does make you wonder how many players we’ll need to bring in during the Summer window.

 

 

To compete with the of , about 25. 

 

To build on last season not so much.

Next week is different. One off game, different teams.  Rangers looks very good but they have a big match before then. Might go to extra time.

Laurie's far too nice to say it was a foul.

Week before a cup final will do that to players.

Would have been the softest of softest penalties if it had been given.

A reserve team that’s trying to impress the manager & coaches vs our full strength team that are playing like they don’t want to get injured.

 

That’s how I’m seeing it anyway.

 

 

Truth here as well, and I mentioned that before KO.

Only heard the commentary but Boyce's injury sounded the sort of thing that can easily happen in training and has before. If he was carrying a niggle best to go off after 5 minutes today than in the final. There is a limit to how much cotton wool wrapping you can use.

As for the psychological impact of today ... for me it changes nothing. We are very much outsiders in the final. It will take something special from us and probably a bit of Europa League hangover to avoid a comfortable Rangers win, But certainly not giving up hope.

This Rangers team know there are Scottish cup final places up for grabs with players inevitably being exhausted after Wednesdays game, they'll be playing out their skiing whereas our boys will be playing more conservatively to avoid picking up any knocks, this is still a nothing game.
