    That's the real Nir Bitton. Should only ever see the light of day in an absolute emergency.

    Would've loved to see Giakoumakis get another go at a penalty, but aye it was a very lazy penalty. Also thought he slowed our forward play down so much today.

    His casual I don't need to try style drives me nuts and I hate it. For me that pen says it all about the player. Its a shame because he has said often enough how he loves the club and living in Scotland but I think he will be another moved on when we can. Only thing missing from his game today was being sent off.

    Can someone make sure he never hits another penalty for us again please? It's infuriating watching a professional footballer hit a meek side foot penalty like that. It effectively increases the chances of the GK saving it to 50:50 when in reality should be nowhere near that high.

    Should’ve been GG on the penalty, but folk here are overreacting big time - imagine if he hadn’t scored the rebound!
    He’s done well for us when called upon in his natural position this season.

    Horrendous yesterday, and I normally like him in the 6. Zero urgency, shows exactly why he should never play there in home games against weak opposition.

    I didnt think he was that bad either, easy scapegoat though! Not at the stage to slate Hatate yet though.. Whole team was pish until Jota came on.

    Changed the game when he came on, brought much needed composure to the MF, calmed the team down with the right passes, also made great interceptions and tackles, provides the extra height that we require at set pieces too, time for people to accept he should be part of our best MF as the 6, Bitton, CalMac and Hatate should be the MF for me.

    Good calm and controlled performance which was what was needed when he came on.
