    Mcgregor has offered nothing and tbh he looks like hes more likely to get sent off than do anything constructive. Id take him off.

    Forrest needs off, absolute woeful, guy has him on toast.

    Tbh unless theres a mass turnaround second half, we look more likely to be going out.

    Wondering if its going to be a mccowan goal late on, 1 0 win. Wouldnt see that being enough.

    Lacklustre so far. Something needs to change 2nd half. A few under par players on that pitch.

    That first half was a bad as it gets, we are genuinely lucky to not be losing.

    We need to take at least a 2 goal lead over there, anything less and I think we're out.

    Need to get Yamada, Yang and one of Engels/McCowan on.

    We need a injection of pace and some * willing to try go by a man. We're far to flat. Ball needs moved quicker. Idah and nygren off, engels and yang on. Maeda through the middle to put pressure on the back line.

    That midfield is way too passive at this level. Its fine in SPL where teams sit back and we have 75% possession but any half decent team that want to attack us can just roll right through it.

    The front 3 at this stage you just expect to be bad. But worrying how pedestrian that midfield is. Offering next to nothing on or off the ball.

    McGregor getting a 2nd yellow wouldnt shock me either. He looks off the pace.

    We've had so many bad performances in the last 18 months, this is right up there.

    Can't be bothered. Haven't been this uninterested about a new season since the Lennon years.

    * outfit on and off the park. It's an absolute disgrace we're in this position with such a * * squad man.

    Maeda-Kyogo-Kuhn to Maeda-Idah-Forrest is just a ridiculous downgrade.

    An ominous stat I saw is that we've never qualified for the Champions League four seasons in a row, haunting facts such as that can be hard af to break

    Also why we never told Kuhn he's going nowhere until this play off is over is another shocker

    Genuinely awful half. As bad as I've seen in Europe.

    We've underestimated them and our worst fears about a lack of creativity coming home to roost.

    The game over there will be a * nightmare.

    That needless gamble the board have taken looks like one that definitely isn't going to pay off..

    We've been woeful

    Does Calmac want to actually offer a pass for Scales or CCV?
    Hatate has been desperate. Nygren trying but nothing coming off. Tierney been awful. Maeda doesn’t want to be there.
    Scales and CCV shouldn’t be our best players on the park it’s embarrassing

    Too slow and laboured at times. Reluctance to shoot, once more. Not enough balls coming into the box. I still think it’ll come but it’s not going to be a 2-3 goal win, by the looks of it.


    On another note, * Premier Sport, their * picture, and their worse commentators. Negative anti-Celtic * all the way. Absolute amateurs.

    I’d move Nygren to the wing, bring on Engels for Forrest. Maeda into the middle and Yang on for Idah

    An embarrassing performance only assisted by the embarrassing performance of a board room who have allowed the club to get into this position.
