    Would defo give him a go at LB, talking about speed, GT is slow too and tbh his season has been a nightmare so far, so maybe time to bench.

    He is good on the ball and for me offers better defensive qualities, he at least was a bit of a presence in the air and having another biggish player would help.

    Glad to see it starting to work out for LS. Always thought there was a player there.

    Maybe it is harsh. He stepped up, especially second half. He exceeded my expectations. Deserves credit and in fairness he should keep his place for the next game.

    However, I was surprised he got MOTM because McGregor deserved it more. I'm not gonnae lay into the guy because overall he did well, but there were a few moments in the first half I wanted to scream at him.

    What a wholesome interview after the game. Nice to see a player unable to contain his emotion and joy. One of us :shamrock:

    Has to be said, it’s lucky we had him for yesterday. He rose to the occasion, especially second half when we were under the cosh.

    He was on a winning team against the huns, for the sheep last season. The experience probably prepared him better for Sunday.

    Scales is relatively inexperienced, had never played this fixture before (they’re different opponents vs us than vs Aberdeen), was playing beside a guy who’s still settling in, and had their attack breathing down his neck on the counter constantly.

    McGregor is experienced, captain and was given the freedom of Ibrox to ping balls. He did well, but Scales’ achievement in helping keep a clean sheet is better imo.

    It’s up for debate but he could be regarded as our 7th choice CB

    imagine the huns playing their 7th choice CB against us at CP

    it would be a groundsman or steward

    I'm surprised they didn't stick Goldson up front. He's a better finisher than their forwards.

    MOTM at Mordor, scored against them when doing his apprenticeship at Aberdeen, the bhoy is a legitimate hun slayer. Glad to see he's going to the CL games, even if he sits them all out.
