First half was very decent, the second half was a tough watch tbh.

That said its points that make prizes and that one takes us to the 20 point mark.

It's also worth noting although the opposition may not be to there usual level they are still more than decent on their home patch.

The fight this squad of players are showing us this season is what we have been missing for far too long. Sleeves rolled up, scrapping for everything and very streetwise.

There wasn't a failure today for me, special mention for Walton who had his best game for us, a human wall at times.

Onwards to St Mirren.👊

Excellent point there yesterday and for once or was nice to get some luck. On other days Sam Dalby would’ve been offside, their handball would’ve counted and so would’ve their offside goal. Jack Walton was magnificent, we have no chance of keeping him sadly but if there’s even 1%, get it done.

That was only my third game at ibrox so 3 games undefeated now (cup semi 3-1 in 2014 & 2012 Scottish cup 2-0). The scenes when we scored were superb, love shoving it up them minky bastards.

Anyone know why Docherty was on commentary instead of in the squad? Was in the squad last time out so I'm confused? The club need to start talking about what's going on with him. When he's fit he's a good asset, but if he's never fit he's a fucking liability.

He said in commentary that he has a calf issue and felt a tweak this week and Jim also said a few weeks ago that he had a calf injury.

 
His fitness is absolutely pathetic for a professional sportsman tbh. I really do like him as a player,but he either needs to get back playing regularly or he can gtf off our wage bill. Ridiculous that Jim is keeping him as captain tbh, there are much more deserving options.

When fit & healthy, he’s an asset to the team.

But it’s always a new injury, and a vague return timeline. Which tells me something else might be going on.

I'm sure I read a report recently, can't remember the player involved but sure he was in our division, where the player returned from injury two months ahead of schedule. What the fuck is it with our backroom team when players always return much later than expected? I don't enjoy knocking the club but this is an area we could be much much better in.

Docherty: Asset when fully fit. Unfit say 40% of the time. 10% easing him into matches as subbie. Money bettter spent elsewhere.

Going back on thread: 5 hours travel. You board bus on the off chance the games going to go ahead. Jams 'a the road, still on the bus now still sitting there on the off chance. When you reach Temple of Doom you've  45 mins to get prepped after being cooped up a' that road.

Full credit to every last one of them, this is some team. Never fail to dig deep.
MOTM: Walton, away support.

Two wee moans: shut up shop too early, gave Hagi the gadgie too much room and stood off Czerny and watched him do his thing.

An aside: Stats discusion - one that rarely lies and best reflects attack and defence is goal diff - 4th best in table => possie on table 4th.
