Hi bhoys and ghirls.
I'm not going to absolutely blast our side as it's not in my nature. I do have a concern though. I think it can be well argued we have got worse as a team since lennons departure in a timeframe where we were supposed to get a whole lot fitter (under the leadership of RD remembering how unfit he claimed we were when he took over from Lenny) and advance as a good possession side who pass and move with class and style so when rangers came back up we would be ready to hunskelp like never seen before. So now we face the zombie nation arriving back in our lives filling us with that gut turning old firm day feeling we had almost forgotten. Sure you may argue they are not the same team etc but to me it's the club their fans decided to follow so they are now our rivals again wether we abuse them for it or not. (let's not let them forget though eh) Full of energy and confidence and on a good run of form they are sure to hit the ground running in the new season. We however look like we have no answer to that. I don't agree with one upfront. Never have. I don't think we have bottle or any guts. We also don't have that one game changing guy. And brown is not a celtic captain. (Just one mans opinion, and it's my humble one) We have good triers. Good runners. And by celtics standards pre boruc a fairly decent keeper. But good runners and good triers are only good for an athletics club. Don't get me wrong. Young Tierney is all of that but also looks a player. That's the difference. Future captain if he plays his cards right. Absolutely solid. I do believe losing today was a good thing as now we can rid the club of the cobwebs, a real good spring clean. And more than likely now a new management team. Whoever comes in next has a bit of a task. Rangers ready to start the new season. Us lacking in every department and having to replace inadequate individuals and bed in newbies. And get used to a new style of play. So. When the new gaffer comes in, let's get right behind him and the side and hopefully we can return to those magical European nights when we actually fancy ourselves against man utd or barca.
We were not the better team today. And it's going to take time to better ourselves.
Onwards and upwards.
Hail hail

I agree, but a good goalie? Did you see him punching it as it came straight down from 100 feet in the air? Boy can't catch a cold.

Aye. Granted. That was mental ha ha. But he's saved us big time on many an occasion. And was a real bargain signing.
