    We always want the best performance, but under the circumstances, a point isn’t a bad result. Away from home, six points clear, and fresh off a marathon trip to Kazakhstan that went to penalties. We’ll take the draw.

    But let’s be honest—Rangers not managing a single shot on target at Ibrox is quite a stat and a bit embarrassing for them.

    Know what the worst thing is? They are * brutal. If we got our act together and actually played with a bit of urgency we could have took 4 or 5 off them today. the board are the main culprits but the tactics are * honking. Far too slow.

    Just back in the house after an afternoon in the Catholic club in Doncaster.

    What a boring game that was, but no matter which way you dress it up, that's 4 draws in 4 games this season for them a 0-0 at ibrokes 100% suits us better than it does them. We were not great but at no point did I feel threatened by them.

    I could've fell asleep through that game it was that bad.

    We get our * together and we win that league but 20+ points

    Took a while to settle down after that abomination today. Rodgers has a lot to answer for with the last two performances but today felt like players like Hatate and McGregor in particular had no faith in their team mates. Even KT and Engels you could make a case for as not trusting those in front of them. Every pass was backwards.

    That is on the Board for not adequately sanctioning replacements for Kyogo and Kuhn plus Jota to an extent. Last year Hatate on the half turn picked out Kuhn or Kyogo made a great run. Maeda was on the wing in behind or Jota was taking on his man. Today we had Maeda through the middle doing nothing. Balikswasha thrown in the deep end and sinking with Nygren being as much use as a cigarette on a motorcycle.

    This happened tail end of last season. We seem to have lost any real motivation since exiting the CL. The preseason was OK but seem to have jumped straight back in the rutt now.

    Really poor at times, but improved a bit in the second half. Midfield was non existent in the first half. A guy in the pub said to me that Maeda was poor, but I said he was doing the work of 2-3 men.

    We never lost, so not the end of the world.

    Never confident of beating them at Ibrox no matter what form the sides are in. They just seem to up their game dramatically and run like * all over the shop and we just look terrified to do anything.

    Throw Kyogo and Kuhn back in and sure, but there was zero chance of that happening with our frontline today. It was always going to be a tight game despite how poor they are, because we just can’t create chances.

    Expected goals 0.15 vs 0.17 ffs.

    0 shots on target vs 2 shots on target the entire match.

    It’s a worse result for them, but absolutely brutal from us as well.

    The team looked flat today, think maybe a bit of jet lag and tiredness in the legs after the extra time at Kairat and the very long journey home.

    Plus, I don't think all the Hoo Haa over Idah did the team spirit and confidence any favours too.

    Very happy and relieved to get a point, all things considered.

    Another thing that did my * in today we know they are hopeless at defending set pieces into the box ... First free kick anywhere an attacking area we take it quickly and immediately give it away

    A point is not the worst result, we're sittin 6 clear of them and they still haven't won a game.

    Not a great performance but some of the criticism has been way OTT, there's a danger of fixating on negativity, we'll get better as the season goes on and hopefully we get some signings in to improve the team.

    The bigger issue is we have no style of attacking play. No rhythm to our forward play and unfortunately as I said months ago, Tierney is done. He is nowhere near a competent LB, I love him for what he brought previously but he’s miles and miles off of where he should be.
