Physically they bullied us. We tried to play at pace but too many couldn't control the ball played to them with any pace. Because of their physicality they pressed us hard and at times all we could do was the sideways pass or pass it back. I think we probably deserved the draw but nothing more. Olusanya was unlucky to be sent off but how the fuck that dirty wee bastard Declan John (24) stayed on was truly amazing , was at it all game and the ref let him away with it.

Slattery, Gordon , Paton and Casey get pass marks the rest were pretty poor. When you play at pace you need to be able to control a quick ball which we failed to do all game. St Mirren bullied us all day and played the pressing game themselves (as well as being feckin dirty bastards). To be playing 10 men for 20 minutes and surrendering most of the possession in that 20 minutes was so frustrating. The players deserve credit for getting a point after being 2-0 down but does not disguise the fact we were poor in many areas.

Likewise added to the fact I detest St Mirren with a passion I am looking forward to it. Going to Fir park under SK was a chore more than anything.

if we set up and play as we've done in the last two games there is no reason we can't win... whether we do is a different matter. St Mirren are very unpredictable but Im far less worried about that game than I was 3 or 4 weeks ago. If we have genuine hopes of finishing top 6 we need to win it. Would nearly knock St Mirren out the running, would leave them 7 points behind us with three to go.

No one will convince me the team hadn't had enough of Kettlewells tactics. https://www.glasgowworld.com/sport/football/motherwell-fc/no-rangers-fear-approach-inspired-motherwell-win-ibrox-fir-park-5014227

Id love the top 6 place to go down to the wire between us and Hearts and we have them at Fir Park last game before the split. As well as being a ding dong battle it would put some much needed money in the clubs coffers as that would attract a big crowd to make up for some of the poor attendances of late.

My reference to SK was the way we set up this season, however the two games last year were bit more smash n grab and hitting on the break. I thought we had far more control of the game on Saturday than we normally do.

Just watched the game again and noticeable when we won the ball from Butlands throw out we had 7 players in the Rangers half, and at the second goal 7 players again in the Rangers half , night and day from SKs tactics

He was excellent in his first period but he was still terrible for bumming up the Old Firm. Mind you I think had it not been for the tragic death of Phil O'Donnell he may have jumped ship to Hearts. He does deserve credit for the way he handled the tragic death of Phil O'Donnell.

McGhee certainly did, he was shocking in his build up to the OF games. He spent the entire week before the games bigging them up in the media basically saying we should just be lucky to be on the same pitch as them.

Perfect set of results for us in every game this weekend. 😊

and how well would he show up with SKs tactics , even in training.

Cheers mate , glad there is no big financial pressures on us. That said the deteriorating state of the main stand Id imagine will take plenty to maintain.

I possibly missed it but was there anything discussed about loss / profit for last accounting year.

Oh the burn ....🙄

I couldn't see the difference between us and the collapse Hibs experienced a number of years ago. We were lucky if we created one chance a game and SK was never going to change that style, so I guess we will need to agree to differ , but immaterial now.

Had SK not resigned it was a definite possibility.

so do you think had SK stayed he would have stopped the rot? I know its conjecture but what I know is ive seen more entertainment in 3 games than i saw with SKs team in 6 months . Had he not resigned I would have sacked him.

Ill hold my hands up and say i've always said I don't rate the squad. I'm still not 100% convinced because that is two seasons on the trot we've collapsed. However you canny argue that results change the dynamics so time will tell.

Biggest part is 4 games to go and we do not face the OF, others round about us may still have to do.

Im waiting for the lurkers who say fuck all when we are in freefall, wait till its safe, then accuse every one else of being panty wetters. Mind you tonight anyone can call me anything they like nowt will diminish my pleasure of us turning them over . I detest the OF with a passion that will never be surpassed

Fingers crossed for a Celtic win, Hibs and Aberdeen win tomorrow and its a Royal flush of perfect results.

I actually don't remember it happening in my 50 years supporting them. However that might just be my 50 year old dodgy memory

Delighted for Ned Lasso

Is that back to back wins at Ibrox. If so wonder how many years its been since that happened.
