    His first 10 minutes more or less set the pace for the rest of the game

    Simply not good enough. He’s like a nervous school boy when he gets on the ball, painful to watch.

    The right side of our defence needs changing ASAP. Him & Boyota are not good enough, a semi decent side would run those two ragged.

    Get him rested. Too many games without a rest. Including covering at CB.

    I'd get Ralston back in as soon as he is fit.

    I really do love Lustig but he has been awful for a while now and I fear his time is up.

    This. He has played a lot of games. Probably more than last year. He's been an ever present. Get Ralston in and give him a break.

    Diabolical today but has been regressing for a while now.

    Hopefully we get someone in that can take the burden off him. I feel he still has something to offer but he's clearly not up to playing the sheer volume of games that is currently being asked of him.

    Useful option if we decide to go three at the back and has lots of experience to pass on to the youngsters but we shouldn't let sentiment obscure what is happening here, which is a good player declining with age.

    Horrible start to the game. His pass behind the Rangers back line in second half was class though.

    He was worrying me so much yesterday. Every time he got the ball, more so in the first half, his only thought was to go back inside, play it back to Gordon (which we were nearly punished for several times) or to just knock it down the line.

    I fear he is slipping into 'past it'.

    He has had probably his worst season with us so far. A new right back is creeping up my wishlist in the next few windows.

    I've been a staunch defender of him and I do admit that he's been poor throughout the season. Today was the worst of it, looked miles off the pace and was making some really poor decisions out there. I thought he was poor against them in the first game as well tbf. Time for Ralston/a new RB to get in.

    Plus he gave away 3 foul throws against Dundee which is one of the most embarrassing things I've seen a professional footballer do.

    Love him, his commitment and passion can’t be questioned but sadly his quality can. No longer good enough to play big games for us .

    Ralston isn’t the answer either. We need an established wing back to come in and make a difference.

    Atrocious yesterday he cant take a throw in ,cant pass and to slow ,cant make a decision

    The problem is the ball kept being punted to him from the back the worst player on the park by a mile

    Need to get rid

    Love him but he's finished, could get away with a lack of pace when the rest of his game was good but it's all went to * he can't pass now and seems to be getting caught with balls in behind
