What a night, absolutely drained after that! It very much feels like it could be our year.

Missing Morelos, but we can replace him with Itten, Sakala or Roofe. THAT is squad depth.

The fact they got the game postponed to avoid having to play against Aribo is making me erect given tonight’s events. The midfield they’re likely to play against us is laughable.

I mean, it HAS to go ahead on the 2nd after what Doncaster claimed. It won’t stop the media campaign though.

Incredible how they’ve fucked themselves over with that. They’re missing their best striker, his replacement, their best midfielder this season and also their captain, while we’ve pretty much got everyone but Morelos back available. Absolutely get it up them. The Scottish media campaign to get the game rescheduled will 100% start tomorrow.

Incredible really. Two domestic defeats, one on 90 minutes and one on penalties, excellent progress and some marquee performances in Europe. A defence up there with anything I’ve seen at Rangers, some saves from a goalkeeper who has surpassed Goram in his contribution to the club, our key striker breaking his OF duck and dominating them and a young full back who looks like he could be two good seasons away from a £20m transfer. That’s before you consider the likes of Kent, Davis, Tavernier’s form in the first six months, Roofe’s goal, Jack’s winner against Killie - it’s been incredible. However, as happy as I am, about 0.01% of me will still be sitting pished with the boys next Saturday thinking that we should be looking forward to a Scottish Cup final to complete a domestic treble and that does niggle at me a bit.

An absolute fucking waster. Jordan Jones is twice the player and will offer us so much more. Get him punted ASAP.

No chance, Gerrard admits that himself. Technically, he’d be the best footballer in Scotland without breaking sweat, but he wouldn’t be close physically.

McCrorie isn’t at the right level yet, for me. He’s nowhere near good enough on the ball and he’s only properly useful for 3/4 games a season just now. Even then, with the midfield we have now - the best set of players in Scotland IMO - I don’t think he has a look in.

I think the start is important. There’s an idea that we definitely fucked it after the Xmas break, but I’m not so sure. Last year: We drew with Aberdeen after Osijek. We drew with Motherwell after Ufa first leg. We lost to celtic after Ufa second leg. We drew with Hibs after Spartak Moscow. That’s nine points dropped directly after Europa games before the 26th October, that’s heavy going given that’s how many points we lost the league by. You could argue we matched celtic point for point after that.

We have a number of Muslim players, I wouldn’t be too annoyed mate.

He’s an idiot, plain and simple. I've went above and beyond - as much as you can from a keyboard - for our players even when they probably haven’t deserved it, but there’s no defending him. He’s a 37 year old footballer who, somehow, still needs to grow up. That's all that needs said though - any talk of him losing his place is mental, he’s lightyears ahead of any other goalie in the country.

I don’t think you have to worry about that. The club will have told the agents what we see is an acceptable fee, nobody is coming in bidding 30% less because of a newspaper story. I’m not sure we’ll lose out on too much money either as I’d be amazed if Barisic or Grezda have played enough games to trigger the clauses to make up the full transfer fee.

Not a bad point given the size of that Thistle side 👍

He’s doing well but, for me, he was fit for a while before the loan and Gerrard barely used him - that’s telling IMO. We’ll not be renewing his contract I don’t think, so hopefully this loan spell sparks some interest and we get a fee. Feel for the young man, but it’s been a disastrous move.
