    Didn't deserve anything. Kairat are limited but at least they were disciplined and motivated. You reap what you sow and I doubt there's another person on the planet, outside of our boardroom, that didn't realise our refusal to strengthen was gonna cost us.

    Their wee striker getting booked right at the end is a massive slice of luck on an otherwise shockingly poor performance from us.

    We dominated the ball with nothing from middle to front, but that’s not a surprise.

    Board secretly punching the air that they won’t have to spend any Champions League money this season.

    Board faces were priceless. Rabbit in headlights. Their gamble on the verge of going down as one of the worst decisions ever in withholding funds for players

    Are we all on the same side now?

    Can we agree ENGELS IS * DIABOLICAL and Idah should never put the hoops on again

    Not tonight its not,that lot we are playing are LOI standard,even with what we had on the pitch tonight we should be hammering them,tonight is all down to Rodgers.

    Idah is poor but taking him off when we needed a goal was stupid.he should have replaced forest with yang and had maeda on the other wing and they could have put in some high balls to idah,either way we still should be beating this lot.

    Worst squad we have had for a few seasons, and nothing being done to rectify it.

    Genuinely don’t blame the players as much. Midfield and defence can’t do much when your front line is rank. Minus the McGowan goal, absolute carbon copy of the st mirren game.
    The lack of creativity is alarming. Yet the board do * all.
    Board lumping CL hopes on 90 mins in Kazakhstan.
    Hopefully kairat will open up and give maeda space but with finishing like that I’m not optimistic.
    Really think McGowan should have been on as I think his movement, forward runs and ability to shoot is better than other ACMs, but doubt it would have made a significant difference.
    If the board have any ambition, they should be heavily investing in the team, regardless of whether we make CL or not. But I think we all know the answer to that.
    A LB and at least one winger is badly badly needed.

    Rodgers has to come out tonight and say this is what happens when I’m not backed.

    Has to just come out with it. Tonight was a * show, honestly what’s he got to lose?

    For the longest time I've watched the team not change. All the possession and can't make anything from a corner or free kick while the opposition always looks dangerous from them. It's like all the boardroom changes and players change yet they end up playing the exact same way year after year.

    This sadly is a reason why the board will not spend money.

    The thing is the board gave Brendan nearly 30M, Engels on the bench, trusty on the bench and idah no even good enough for the bench, can’t even beat kairat almighty, they looked more dangerous than us, apart from dembele and sinky at the start some of his signings have been dire

    They're worse than a team that see value in Marco Tilio. Christ.
