    Know sweet * all about them other than that they are Latvia’s no. 1 team. Doesn’t sound like much, but I dare say they could cause us some problems if we play like we have been playing. Ferencvaros are 621 places higher than them in world rankings! Lol!

    Be nice to get a wee run in Europe and get some cash, but it’s not the priority this season, is it?

    Can't take this lot for granted - they seem like a club with its own relative source of finances given the few Brazilians and the fact they've only been around in this form for 6 years according to what can be found on their wiki page.

    Definitely an unknown quality about them and with our current leaky defence, personally, I'm glad I'm not in the football biz as this game would stress me out

    This is doing my nut in “leaky defence”

    2 penalties
    1 wonder strike
    1 when we where 4-0 up
    1 st Mirren where they got break of ball

    too many people listening to the huns and their clean sheet world record!

    We do look exposed at the back tho, mainly because teams are running through/past Broonie.

    I agree, but we were 2-0 up vs Hamilton when we conceded not 4.

    Dont know. They are supposed to be a 5 year old club and are well on way to winning their league 3IAR. Just the fact they are halfway through tbeir season means they will be more match fit than our players. We should still win, though.

    Aye and two games on the bounce we've had to claw back a win from being behind.

    Debate leaky all we want, our defensive game has been utter garbage

    Our defence has been all over the place at times, so trying to gloss over it is stupid.

    Even the game against Ross County, we could easily have conceded a couple in the first half. They hit the woodwork and Barkas made a couple of fantastic saves.

    4 goals conceded against Hamilton, Livi ane St Mirren - bottom three in the league. And don’t forget two at home against Ferencvaros.

    We’re poor at the back.

    Surprised they signed that Pedrinho from Pacos Ferreira, thought he was quite highly regarded in Portugal.
