two centre backs off injured, two new players and without a doubt the worst surface in Scotland. Having said that we were poor after 15-20 of the first and the same second, jeeze it could have been worse than hertz.

BR make a mistake dropping Odsonne? Moussa looked better with him on. Sinclair? Not even making 10 yard passes properly what's up with this boy? Forrest back to being Forrest again and Charly not finding space to work in.

Very disappointing all round.

By far, in my opinion, the worst performance under Brendan. They gave us nothing! Yes, we can complain about playing surfaces all day long, but we've played on them long enough to adapt. To go from a performance like we did against Hearts, to that showing today is not acceptable. We were absolutely dire. Granted we did not envisage losing two centre halves, and players are dropping like flies at the moment. Can we really blame plastic surfaces for all our woes? Teams are cracking how to set up against us unfortunately and it's up to Brendan to get us on a descent run again.

i thought young henry was supposed to be very quick yet to day he was left behind by anyone that ran by him.

Steve Clarke got it right narrowing the pitch and having them hit on the break on a pitch that makes it hazardous to turn.
The injuries did disrupt our shape and tactics; but apart from that there were far too many Celtic players out of sorts or being far too tentative/ negative and having no impact whatsoever.
I accept it was a different opponent and surface from Tuesday, but Edouarde has been making great progress recently and links well with Dembele, while Sinclair has lost all confidence and seemingly basic ability and needs to be dropped for a wee while.
Forrest was back to his infuriating worst and needs Roberts pushing for his place to give him a jolt - or replace him, while Musonda looked good in spells, but needed much more help and protection from the others in midfield.
I know it's only two defeats in two seasons, but it was the manner of the loss and sheer lack of creativity and potency - not to mention giving rivals a chance to cut the gap to single figures.

Just get more direct. When it is too difficult to break them down miss out the midfield. Its really simple. They sit back so putting 4 Celtic players into their back 4 is easy. BR just won't change his philosophy. Big weakness.
