    Job done, more than content with the result given the context of what is going on at the moment.

    Perfect start to the League, top of the table and 3 straight CS in the League.

    1-0 v St M, a 2-0 v Dons and now a 3-0 v Livi...

    Hopefully that means a 4-0 v Sevco incoming next week? :)

    Highly enjoyable second half there with some promising performances. Our second string are more exciting that the first team at the minute, really hope Rodgers can find it within himself to change things up more often.

    Donovan and KT look like you'd find them bouncing about a kneecap gig

    A better second half performance. More tempo against an anti football set up.

    Taylor was also pretty lightweight. Thats why most teams targeted that area. I would rather a slightly lightweight left back that can play the ball forward rather than Scales who take the ball 20-30 yards then pass it back to the centre backs every time

    Only complaint about today is Motherwell bottling it. Back on top, where we belong still.

    Peter Grant sounds exactly like Brendan with a Glasgow accent.

    That was a great win today, a potential banana skin avoided especially with all the changes.

    Nygren has to start right wing on Tuesday if he offers so much more in the last 3rd than Forrest.

    Positive performance, despite the circumstances.

    We still need bodies in, but the new guys have shown that they can step into games like these.

    Taylor height played a part in that also. Inamura looks like he can win in the air

    That was positive today. Showed we can rely on our squad in these types of games and we euro group stages start we will need to play our 2nd string more often.

    Positives, I thin Shin looked keen and got into decent spots. Hopefully he will improve as he gets match sharp and did more than Idah has in his last 3 games combined. Nygren looks good. Our back line strolled it.

    Negatives: our midfield is a massive step down when it really shouldn't be. Engels and Bernardo arent taking their opportunities to shine when they get it. Hope McCowan is ok

    And Livingston are absolutely attrocious. Just offer nothing.

    Have to be happy with that, have to kick on now and do the business on Tuesday. Piles the pressure on rangers too in advance of tomorrow

    Not a bad day’s work tbf. Still lots to do but a draw today would’ve had a very detrimental effect on the mood going into Tuesday’s game.

    Decent second-half; midfield needs huge improvement though. Can’t depend on Forrest much longer either. More positives than negatives overall though.

    You know what i will never understand is if livi played like they did at the start of the game like they played in the last 20 min they would have caused it a lot of problems

    Thank * the reserve team rose to the challenge the day, easily could have been draw or loss after that shambles on Wednesday

    Hope we can do it in Tuesday and the board open the biscuit tin and get these players some help for what would be a tough champions League
