    Guarantee he was listening to big Mjallby in the pre-match build saying 'we need to go out and cynically clatter someone and get a booking just to put a marker down', If big Dolf says that's what's needed then he's prolly right :50:

    Need Ralston to step up and give him a rest for Motherwell … Hope the hip injury wasn’t anything serious

    I thought it was his Hamstring he was holding? I am hoping it isn’t a serious injury, as this always seems to happen that we have a good start to the season then bang 3 or 4 first team players start pulling up.

    It was his hamstring. Physio was stretching it though so doesn't look like it popped. I'd be resting him against Motherwell anyway, get him back for Leipzig.

    Yeah hopefully he is fit for the cup semi final too Ralston should be capable for Motherwell and Dundee.

    Is he maybe suspended for Leipzig he got booked in the first game vs Bratislava, can’t remember if he did in Dortmund and is it two or three yellows?

    Incredible maturity to play that full game like that with a yellow card. That was like a Dani Carvajal performance, the booking only made him stronger

    Aye there is absolutely no way he should be anywhere near that Motherwell game, give him a deserved rest, absolute warrior.

    Just rest him for weekend, ran himself into ground last night,
    He just looks so in control, cool as, never fear for him getting skinned.
    Sure, a lot of crosses did rain in from his wing but cannot ever remember him getting skinned.

    I love him.

    Being captain for the day would've meant a lot to him.

    Can't believe I thought he was a downgrade on Juranovic last season. He's been incredible since the end of last season.

    He's actually broader than CCV, who's a unit..

    Definitely looks stronger this season.

    Agreed, he really stepped up to the captain's role.

    His form this season has been superb. One of our best players. Shows how much everything thinks of him as well to see him given the arm band today.
