Here is hoping. However, been here too many times in the past to take anything for granted. Shite teams with 100th of our wage bill still haunt me to this day. Particularly Motherwell (Christian Dailly in midfield season) and of course Killie (for 10IAR). Just hoping this corner we might have turned, turns up a one way street similar to Alex McLeish's team.

Don't we have the option of adding him to the Euro squad in the new year?

McAusland has been superb and his style of play reminds me so much of a McCann or Huistra. Great addition to our squad.

I think with the amount of defenders we have on the bench a switch at some point might see Tav divert away from his usual position while someone fills in at rb.

They are a quality team and had that been a Champions league group stage match, I would be frustrated at losing the late goal in the manner we did. But overall, I would be happy with a much improved, of late, performance.

So many of our players just now are not taking advantage of starting this match. A few substitutions and this game could change. Brutal!

We played against 10 men for practically 1/5 of this two legged game and couldn't capitalise. Utter shite!

Starting the season on a plastic pitch is truly awful. It's a shambles that this continues to be allowed.

Seems great securing a Brazilian. Bit different from our usual signings. Hope it works out as the guy seems a decent bloke, going by his latest video parading our shirts.

I think that Lundstrum is the type of player that needs dropped to truly kickstart his career with us and remind him of where he is. Not that long ago he was at the tip of all our tongues with regard to his performances. He is no doubt an asset, when he is foccussed, given his versatility and drive but it's mighty sad when all we regularly see is a half hearted version of the player we know he can be.

Many a moon ago, a so called football expert in Chick Young questioned our signing of Laudrup. We fooked up against AEK Athens but then made up for it against Vladikavkas. Just give whoever we sign, a bit of time if they don't hit the ground running.

We have lost out on so many fantastic talents recently that have played in our league (Hickey, Ferguson, Doigde etc.), surely we need to learn from this. I'm thinking back to Neil McCann, Billy Dodds, Claudio Cannigia and Nacho Novo, to name a few, who delivered us titles. Van Veen, Shankland and Nisbet are know doubt a talking point but so too are many others?

More often than not, if we win all four old firm games, we win the league. If we even win three and lost one, there is still a good chance. To win these games we need a solid first team and also a very good selection from the bench. We need to think big this season and buy quality players that won't go in the huff if they find themselves on the bench and are raring to go when they get that opportunity to go on the pitch. We need to remember we are a massive club and to play for us you have to be fit, on form and know that someone can come in at any point in time and replace you.

Is he really the best midfielder at our club though? Jack, lundstum and Kamara have had some outstanding games for us against some quality opposition in recent times. I'm pissed off as much as everyone else but Raskin being put in that midfield ain't the answer. Far too many passengers today.

Their game today did not produce one single card. Can't imagine this has happened in all our encounters in 29 odd years.
