    Apparently 10 points should see ye have a 90% chance of going through to play offs, they had a wee bit of chat about it at start of match the night.

    Still in our own hands and sitting not too bad at all atm.

    We looked a yard off it especially midfield, Rodgers really needs to rotate more because Engels was treading water from the start.

    We were slow, passive and so * negative with the passing. A frustrating watch cause we know we can do far better. Was impressed with their shape and press especially to nullify our midfield. Thankfully they were fairly poor in the final 3rd, another lesson.

    They played what looked like 3 big lads I. Their midfield 3 and our players struggled to match them physically … knew Engels would be * as their manager is the one who brought him up through their youth so probs knew his weaknesses

    Another thing to take into account when you get a really good result in the CL like the last one, expectations levels rise ahead of the next game, we're taking small steps to get back to being competitive in the CL.

    It's always a learning process at this level, players will benefit from the experience, outwith the Dortmund result it's been a great season so far.

    As a supporter will take the point and move on. Hope Rodgers does look at this, the Hearts and Kilmarnock games and make some adjustments/points from them as we've not been great.

    Played poorly and took a point which was only because we conceded a stupid mistake.

    Not too bad a night all things considered.

    Think it comes down to the Young Boys game,hopefully pick something up In Zagreb or Villa but that's the make or break game for me

    I'm actually relieved we got the point at the end, because it looked like we were going to get nowt and be 2-0 down. Brugge turned out to be a very good outfit, but we knew that by their six points collected, now seven and by how they dismantled Villa.

    Personally I thought Brendan selected the wrong team, because Engels has been way off it, and we know Taylor's limitations in Europe. I would have started Bernado, Valle and Idah.

    But it is what it is.

    We almost snatched it at the end, as the substitutions did the trick, but yes, wrong team selection.

    Not so long ago after 3 or 4 games we would maybe have 3 points so all this considered we have done well this year and team is doing better in big games.

    Very hard to pick out whose goal was better tonight. Maedas screamer, or CCV’s calm composed finish
