    The absolute heartbeat of this football team. He was immense , leadership qualities aside ,he's just a genuinely excellent CM.

    He's so good. Would walk into any team and wouldn't look out of place.

    Brilliant energy and mopped up a lot of loose balls in the middle of the park. Felt like he was everywhere and was near flawless with the ball as per.

    Outstanding last night. Did he seem to tire in the last 20min???

    even when we were 4-1 up I think he was still demanding the wide players get wider to open the pitch up more. Such an intelligent player and will go on to be a really good manager. Genuinely so lucky to have him

    Usual top tier performance by the captain, but that 25 yarder would have been * glorious if it went in. Caught it sweet plenty of power but a good save tbf.

    Is he a better captain than Broony? I’m starting to think so.

    A lot of Browns leadership qualities came from the sort of hard man persona he brought to the pitch. Cal is just natural leadership all over, he can be aggressive but it’s not his main quality as a captain.

    Was probably running on empty today which was understandable after his midweek performance.

    Thought that that was his worst performance for a very long time.

    Gave the ball away. Very sloppy.

    He needs to be subbed more often when we're clearly going to win games e.g. St Mirren after 71mins when AJ made it 3 etc.

    There's definitely scope for getting him a rest 70 mins if game is won.

    Poor today CalMac, whole team struggled tbh.
    Falkirk pressed better than any other team we've played this season

    He was terrible today. Gave it away needlessly 3 or 4 times.

    Too many changes today, but McGregor should definitely have been rested. Can't expect him to play every game.

    If not, can expect more performances like today.

    Probably would’ve been rested if McCowan could’ve played but with changing the entire back 4 and front 3 I can see why he played, even though he had a poor game.

    When asked why he no longer wants to play for his country he should have said “ why should I play for a country that panders to 1 club and allows sectarian bigots to referee and fix matches to help that club.”
