    Even then the hun games were like taking sweeties out a pram, they were played at half pace with us having easy control. Not as if we were at out best.

    Aberdeen at home the 6-0 was just a fluke, we scored 4 from 82 minutes on, wasn't like a normal 6-0 where you are battering a team and massively comfortable, just rained goals for a 15 minute spell.

    Played well in 1 game, maybe 2 all season.

    It looks impressive but there’s people that you can tell don’t watch the games and just look at the final score. They don’t realise how bad it is, especially when we sneak a poor win.

    They have made it harder to win the league themselves throwing on turgid performances all season while fans have backed them the full 90 minutes of every game, its about time they gave something back instead of the ones being the ones having to give the support as per.

    Our performances are becoming increasingly worse and we've went from a significant lead to being on the verge of second, despite beating the Huns twice..

    But aye, deep breaths everyone.

    The reality is that we're rotten from the squad to board level, complete mess institutionallly.. but sure these same individuals were suggesting everything was fine back in the summer.

    Agreed but your choice is now pour poison from the stands or back the players, what are you choosing?

    In 26 league games we've had 17 halves without scoring. Pathetic.

    Brendan Rodgers insists he takes the responsibility of Celtic slipping up yet again in the title race on his shoulders.

    David Watson scored a 91st-minute equaliser for Kilmarnock this afternoon as the Ayrshire side earned a deserved point at Parkhead.

    Kyogo had the hosts in front with a lovely first-half header, as the Hoops looked to make the dominance count.

    However, Derek McInnes' side pressed high up the field in the second half and were brave on the ball, with 19-year-old Watson getting their reward right at the death.

    There were audible boos at full time from the home faithful, with Rangers now given the chance to go top of the Premiership tomorrow with a win at St Johnstone.

    "The performance level was nowhere near what we'd want," he told BBC Sportsound. "It looked like we were going to get away with it. It looked like we were going to see the game through 1-0 to get a good result, but a poor performance. It was neither in the end up.

    "We're all disappointed. It's the nature of how we conceded. It's not the first time that we've been in this situation, we've been in it a number of times where we've been in front, we've not taken opportunities to extend the lead and then we've given ourselves anxiety and given the opposition something to hang onto.

    "If you do that a number of times then of course that will disappoint. It's a disappointing day for the supporters. I take responsibility for that



    It's the fourth time the champions have dropped points at home this season. St Johnstone and Motherwell had previously secured draws, with Hearts got all three back in December.

    Asked directly if that is a concern, he sharply responded: "Yeah, absolutely. It's not a one-off. It's happened too many times.

    "When you look at the metrics of how the team has been doing from an analysis perspective, the defensive side has been the one area where there has been a drop, that's for sure.

    "Of course, we've been missing some key players in those positions. Still, that aside, we have to be harder to beat at times. We have to be more aggressive.

    "If you're having to see out a game then you have to be able to do that. Like I say, it's happened too many times."

    My choice is to let the * in the boardroom and the management and players know that the * we have been served this season is unacceptable and if that taking that criticism hurts them thag much that they cant turn this around then they have no place at this club anyway.

    Yip and I’ll be all over this thread like cheese on toast when we do.

    Y’all must have forgot our managers record against the uglies.

    He’s going to see us losing all three trophies to the huns.

    He has to go.

    Literally just trying anything.

    He's over the hill and his tactics that worked ten years ago don't now.

    Clueless.

    They couldn’t even be bothered tracking back at 1-0 up home to Kilmarnock on the 92nd minute.

    If anything the fans have been too nice.

    We could beat the huns in the next two games and still lose the league. The points we’re dropping against the rest of the dross in the league is the issue here.

    The fans have been there all season, for the good times, for the CL as well. Forking out there hard earned cash during a cost of living crisis. And certain members of the fans were banned for a good while.

    Yet, we've a naive manager who persists in * formations, tactics and spraffing about narratives. And a board who openly boasted about 70m in the bank.

    The fans are the one constant. Through it all. "Be in there for us, as we're out here for you."
    If the board were half interested in the club as the fans were, they'd do thr tonight thing more often. But they don't...repeatedly. The fans will be there again next game. Giving their all. I can't honestly say, that the people of power and position at the club will be doing the same.

    The fans are absolutely entitled to their opinion. And it's one of the only options of power we have.

    "Football, with out the fans is nothing"...the board would do well to remember that!

    We've beat them twice and blew a 8 point lead in the same time frame.

    And there's no suggestion of improvement or strengthening since we beat them in the new year.

    What the * can the fans do?

    * aren't even trying to get to the ball. Killie 1st to every 2nd ball. If you don't even have the passion to out-compete a team that has beat you twice and is on 1/10th of your wage, then * can the fans do?

    And yet after all those points dropped against the rest of the dross in the league we still sit top currently.

    I’m not saying it’s good enough, nowhere close actually, I’m saying I’m not a shitebag bottler that’s throwing the towel in to any hun team.
