    That's because the unwashed struggled to get into our box.

    We have cause for optimism.
    We haven't lost a domestic game this season, that's some difference. Which gives me much more faith in Brendan's ability to manage us both tactically and as a motivator. Our high speed game with precision passing and movement would totally have destroyed their pressing approach today. In fact it was our unusual low quality passing that basically gifted them possession and opportunities to get forward. He'll remind us of that.

    One coincidence about the two draws was the tactics of kicking us off the park. The amount of fouls the huns committed betrayed a fear they have of playing us at football. If we can pass and move into space it lessens their chances of fouling to equalise the game.

    Broony is having a brilliant season and his leadership makes him an excellent captain to have in testing times.

    The whole squad will have felt the effect of that draw today and what it means when we play the huns so that'll focus their attention.

    Gordon is reliable too considering the little he's had to do this season he was very alert and saved us from defeat.

    Rogic will be back and he can have some impact on our creative game.

    We played our worst and they played their best yet with the help of the ref they got a draw. We are the best team which combined with the above should make the difference in the semi final.

    However most positive of all we and the team learnt that nothing can be taken for granted.

    Positive's are that we are all pretty rattled about not completely annihilating them, and not being satisfied (and rightly so) with a poor performance on a big day.

    The positive of this is we are unhappy with a 1-1 draw, when we are already miles ahead in more ways than one. Also had a chuckle after the fact that Rangers celebrated as if they won the league, didn't even pick the ball out of the net to go for the win.

    Tough to not beat the * out of them but we were nowhere near our best, they played well and deserved the result they got, even with a penalty decision that was bullshit. We move on and the gap remains :50:

    I think this result will give them a bit of false hope. It's good to watch their dreams crumble a week later. In their short history I've withnessed this numerous times already. Always worth a chuckle. Here we go 10 in a row

    In the grand scheme of things this result really doesn't mean anything, we were a due a poor performance, just a shame that it had to come against these *. Am sure the next time we play them Brendan will drill it in to them the that a repeat of the performance today is not allowed, got the feeling the players thought it would be easy today.

    Considering its our 47th game of the season not including friendlies am willing to cut the team a bit of slack..they have been very consistent and did look leggy today and it will just be the kick up the * they needed to have one final push to the treble

    One positive is that we are a bit gutted after drawing our second game in about 36 domestic matches, 2 draws in 30 odd ain't too shabby. We are far better than any other team in this country and had two little blips. Rather it wasn't against they scum but I'll take this season's form every season

    I understand that but there is no excuse not to be up for a game against them, just put it down to a bad day at the office, we will celebrate like we won the league when we win the league, not when we get a draw away from home.

    I was going to put a large portion of my savings on a celtic win at 4/9 because i thought any other result was impossible given current form and the fact the huns have a caretaker manager. I bottled it though this morning. So em can me not having the balls to follow my gut be a positive?

    The 2 dropped points at Caley don't feel so bad anymore.

    I didn't take any positives from this game, if it wasn't for Gordon we might have lost it.
    I'm worried.

    Too many players off the boil today, that won't happen the next time we play them and will result in us reaching the final

    positives , well ive ony saw 4 minutes of hi-lights so will need to see the whole game soon. so I'm not too downbeat at the moment.

    Why are you worried? The game is over. It finished 1-1. Do you honestly think they huns are a threat?
