Balogun made a massive difference to the defence. Soutar had his usual shit the bed moments. But could you imagine him and Goldson together today.

It’s like a having Ted McMinn XI. Never know what the hell is going to happen.

Lundstram first touch from kick off was to pass directly to Hearts. 

Lundstram first touch from kick off was to pass directly to Hearts. 

Silva, Cantwell, Lawrence and Roofe have been largely anonymous for most of the half. Ball is taking an age to go forward and when it does it's into the channels and no one is getting on to them. Lundstram for a while was Dundee's best player as he kept regaining possession for them. Midfield is not mobile enough to break the lines and support the attack. 

Line up feels just like Sundays starting 11. Very little natural width very little mobility in the midfield  and the same old guard asked to go out and perform at a level they haven't been close to for weeks. Add to Roofe coming in from nowhere and you have a feeling that Clement is now quickly running out of solutions in how to get this team to perform. Six of the staring 11 are thirty or over. We need a massive clear out.

Imagine a scenario where Goldson and Tav decide to see out their existing contracts. Tav will almost 35 and Goldson 33 by the time they expire plus they will be top earners. It would be an absolute waste of money to then  compound this expensive mistake by  offering Lundstram  a two or three year deal as a top earner. This has been the problem for years, we have a real problem when it comes to moving players on. We continually make the same mistakes. Buy a player give them a platform where they can perform, receive bids when the plan works, reject the bid, let them run down the contract and leave for nothing or very little (Kent, Kamara, Morelos) or fork out good money fail to get the best out of them and let them go at a massive loss. 
 

Shadow of the player he was. Pretty much know that he will come second best on most one on one challenges. Constantly caught out of position and frequently fails to read the play. When was the last time you came away from a game and felt he had a good game. 

Running out of belief is the biggest issue. A team that believes finds a way to win games. To many of the usual suspects let us down once again. It's up to the manager to find a way to get them going again. I would like to think come Wednesday there will be at least five changes to the starting line up.

Very few pass marks from that half. So many slack passes, in particular Tav and Dowell have been the biggest culprits. Guilty of trying to force the play which has led to turning over possession in dangerous areas.

Half empty, huge opportunity missed today. All the gloss about character and getting a draw from the jaws of defeat is deflection. We were lucky to still be within touching distance at half time. We improved second half but let's face it kicking the ball in the right direction and stringing more than two passes together would be an improvement.

Unfortunately it's a penalty. Goldson was poor again today, you have to wonder if Clement will sit him out against Dundee.

Center half pairing going forward has to be Soutar and Balogun. Goldson was a bomb scare again today. Puts the defence under so much pressure by always needing two three touches to control a simple pass. Couple that with his amazing ability to miss free headers in either box.

To be fair Killie and Hearts have caused them more problems than us this season.

Better second, but that first half was embarrassing, no intensity no fight or dig allowing them to boss the game. Started the wrong team and left the changes to late. At no point in the game did we have any control.

Not good enough from Butland

Not really getting g in behind them at all. Looks like we could play all day and not score.

Changes for halftime Cantwell for Lawrence. Diomande for Barrasic, Sterling move beside Lundstram, Wright off for Sima. 

The complete lack of a press at home in a crucial game in a title race is unforgivable, it's absolutely and utterly unbelievable that we stand off them at Ibrox.  
Disgraceful.
