    I disagree mate, 1st 45 was almost identical to 1st 45 in cup final.
    We still look like a team who can't cope with a high press. Mainly due to having 2 defenders on the same side of the park who are incredibly poor on the ball and having a striker who's far too wee and weak to offer us anything. Constantly wants to run in behind but won't show for the ball or give an out to defenders.

    For me that's on the manger for playing the 3 of them when he should have known they were gonna deploy the same tactics as the cup final

    Terrible performance but sure Brendan will sort it out. I'm over it already, looking to future. We're in a great position and deservedly well ahead in the league, and doing well in a Europe. Canny win them all.

    I didn’t see the game but despite how poor we played, we are still 11 points and stupid amount of goals better off. We lost 2 games last year and the filth were long, long overdue a performance. We maybe swaggered into this game but given what has played out, it’s only natural to think you will walk it against that trash. What I said before the game, if we lost or draw then that would paper over the cracks and keeps Big Phil in a job. Short term satisfaction until they play us again. Deluded as *. Watch us win this league by 20pts.

    Basically saying what we all saw- they wanted it more. Still think as manager he should be * furious about the attitude on show today.

    The warning signs were there in the cup final with their aggressive press and they did that today as well and Rogers should have known that's the way they would have played .
    Celtic midfield was no existent today because the zombie players were not giving our players any time and space and cut off supply to maeda and Khun so Rogers got schooled today tactically by the zombie manager but the support won't put up with that kind of performance again especially playing against them .

    We may need squad strengthening but we should be beating them with our current squad.

    Everybody knew how they would play.

    He should be raging and embarrassed. He even had the cheek to come away with a wee quip about being slow and monotonous in an interview recently (bragging about our current position). He's been made to look a fool.

    I'm not overly worried but still raging at that performance. We haven't been firing on all cylinders since the leipzig game and we are still too lightweight. Hopefully a few new faces in January will re-energize the team

    I'm pretty certain the players will be left in no doubt that was unacceptable.

    But the cup was on the line, so despite being crap and losing 3 goals we still found a way to win the game. Today I didn't see that desire to and I think that's down to the big gap and a total lack of effort on the part of the players. They looked happy to turn up and lose today as there was only 3 points at stake. Rangers could go drop those 3 points on Sunday and don't look a threat over the course of a season.

    I do agree though, Brendan got the team totally wrong today and I think his use of subs was terrible as well. Formation didn't work and our front 3 didn't affect the game in the slightest. No way of building from the back with Scales and Kasper playing poor passes constantly and McGregor and Hatate both had a horrendous afternoon as well. Rangers wanted it more and didn't even have to play that well to win. Near enough every attacking move they made was self-inflicted similar to the cup final, just without the desire from us to get back into it.

    Need our defence to be as big as Bobo and our midfield too.

    Again mate i don’t think you’ve read my post correctly, we will 100% win the league and are a better side than them. My problem is today we lacked any kind of fight, desire and bottle.

    I do hear you old bean...it was * to say the least..but blips happen and BR (even though I didn't want him back) is still 11 points clear - we move on.
