    The GB told the management and players:

    "We're out there for you, be in there for us"

    And we were served up with the most pathetic coaching and playing performance imaginable.

    Brown, McGregor and Welsh can hold their head up high tonight.

    The rest should hang their heads in shame. Lennon, Kennedy and Strachan included.

    We have problems behind the scenes and the club have managed them so horrifically that it is now resulted in dug * performances becoming the new norm. Half-arsed play being rewarded with more game time.

    I want to hear nothing short of Lennon apologising for that performance.

    He waited until the game was essentially over to put a striker on the pitch. Griffiths, who should have started, came for the last quarter of a match.

    were not going to win any league if we cant get behind teams or be able to play through them and get shots on goal

    and thats been us most of the season

    ntcham out turnbull in im sick to death of his half hearted performances

    if your gonna play brown play a 442 433 4321 as we have far too many defensive players for a celtic team ,in europe maybe we need that but not in scotland

    when we get up the park our full backs have to be ready to pounce into the space and we have tp have players playing them passes far far too much we seem reluctant to take a man on in the wide positions

    we just want to pass the ball with no penetration dont want to take risks in case we have to run all the way back to our own goal this pattern has been apparent in our styles for a couple of seasons but weve managed it better, now its crippling us and we cant handle it

    Folk actually thinking the folk we were missing played a part in losing... Maybe if we had Christie we would have had a couple more shots on goal, and bitton has started the season ok, but the rest have been as * as the rest of the squa

    I've said it a few times. Ntcham is awful on the right of a 3, him and Frimpong have no connection. Kamara made him look * today.

    I want nothing short of him sacked, chased away and forced to repay the 20 million he costed the club this season so far.

    We were pathetic to man and offered nothing.

    No need to panic though we'll still win the league but it's a much needed wake up call to players and management that might have been thinking we'd walk it

    Well being completely honest I don't watch their games and it's as good as I've seen them play against us bar the league cup final. Yes we were far far too easy to play against and the goals were soft, but honestly it was written on the cards that they had their best opportunity to beat us as they've had in years. I was more shocked after the Celtic park game last season.

    Do you think sacking Lennon gives us better chance of winning the league then?

    Also forgot to mention that Rangers did play close to their best today. They were measured and fluid in possession, defended anything we threw at them quite easily. I don’t think they are offensively lethal, its not their strongpoint and they dont need to play that way to get results especially if the opposition plays like we do today.

    Exactly what I was trying to say. I know we played terrible today but it wasn’t a hammering. All I heard was the big numbers being thrown about, 5-0 this 6-0 that. Where were their big players when it came to looking like a goal threat at every turn. Half our squad was out and that played a huge mental part of the game. Not the end of the world and we can only improve from today in my eyes.

    They were *, WE were embarrassing. To lose is one thing, but to show NO urgency or determination whatsoever in this game of all games at HOME!!! That is utterly inexcusable.

    We've let them win on our pitch for the second time in a row without so much as making it a contest.

    Lennon has to go for this alone. He's clueless tactically and the players are obviously not playing for him now.

    I hate to say it but I think Nitcham is awful in general.

    I am not so sure, i can honestly say i do not remember us ever playing 90 mins and not a shot on target,and in the game a few weeks back it was the 70th min before we hit the target and that was not even against the huns,even against barca we would have the odd shot.
    Refusing to play two strikers is killing us and 2-0 down and bringing on taylor....His subs are to late and sometimes strange.
    There is way way to many games where we just scrape a win or get out of jail.
    I think this season is showing us just how average we are when you remove the fans and for me it's very worrying.

    The point of a forum is to have opinions, some of which you might not agree with but that's life. Personally l feel like we have the players to get the job done. At this juncture things aren't clicking but do you honestly believe that wont change? I don't think we can comprehend all the variables but lam backing my team.

    Genuinely cant see how Lennon can turn this around . Elyounassi is also a * disgrace , bar a nice touch and tap in against a part time team from Iceland he has done absolutely nothing for us this season .
