We definitely got away with one regarding Bowmans' reckless (albeit accidental) challenge. Credit to Rodgers and Tierney for not making a fuss about it.

Here's hoping Dundee approach this in complacent mood after the high of beating the invincible big spending Rangers today. Expect us to go with the same front 6 as Parkhead with Bowman and Frear hopefully offering a decent threat from the bench.

Good to see Moore scoring a crucial goal. Dom live on Alba tonight.

Embarrassment avoided. Job done. We have 2 massive games coming up.

Hammell injured in warm-up. Joe starting.

Robinson back Monday according to Sun.

Putting the Aberdeen performance to one side, the prospect of Tierney and Sinclair running at young McMillan is a daunting one. We are unlikely to fare much better on the left either, with an inform Forrest or Roberts going at a half fit Hammell (and/or Jules/Chalmers). Think we'd all be content with a relatively spirited performance here and hopefully we can come away with a respectable result against a very good Celtic team.

McGhee not attending the press conference tomorrow. Wise decision.

I think the questioning of commitment may refer to the hours he puts in, the return trips to Brighton and/or Scotland role.

Something that hasn't been mentioned is Faddy. I get the impression that Robinson was a significant support to McGhee in delivering training and refining tactics. Has McGhee possibly paid the price for going with an inexperienced assistant?

Just now is not a good time to change manager. There are no obvious candidates and we aren't sitting comfortably enough to alllow a new man a settling in period. If the Board are confident hr hasn't lost the dressing room, we are probably best to allow McGhee to limp on until the end of the season. Meanwhile, the Board should be working away in the background to find a suitable replacement in the summer that possesses greater ambition that reaching 1000 games. Under no circumstances would I support a new contract for McGhee. Credit to him, he came in and provided the safe pair of hands we needed post Baraclough. He's also developed a few assets. However, this season has been a case of going through the motions. Watching a team with 3 of the best attacking talents in the league should be much more enjoyable than it has been. The negative tactics, the inferiority complex against the big teams and the failure to establish a settled formation by February has taken its toll on our dwindling support and the players. At present, he is the laughing stock of Scottish football, which is quite an achievement in the current climate.

Just watched the highlights, Hammell and Lasley at the 3rd goal, we can't have conceded many worse goals than that. Samson flapped at a few but that's par for the course. Fair play to Christie for the 4th, sublime finish.

Could be Faddy's one game in charge. Might pop along.

His Celtic comments the day he was unveiled as Aberdeen manager got him off to a bad start. IIRC, that was closely followed by an embarrassment in Europe and the sacking of a genuine club legend in Jim Leighton.

Unhinged. Even by McGhee standards, he's been more unbalanced than usual with the over the top post-match reaction at Ibrox, complaining about red cards weeks after the event, repeatedly claiming we have been playing well and 'having a laugh' at 4-0 down. Sad state of affairs that he has anything to do with the national team.

No hint of resignation chat in the post match interview. Seemingly sent to the stand for 'having a laugh'. Fuck off!

Looking forward to the usual suspects telling us how we can't be expected to compete with a team the size of Aberdeen. One silver lining, tonight underlines how fucking shite Rangers are.

One more.

Reckon it will take 8.

Wonder how many goals it will take in order for Les to get on the phone tonight. He's survived 6 and 7 so far. You have to wonder how effective McGhee and McFadden have been on the training ground this season. We've rarely looked well drilled and judging by the radio commentary tonight, the players have chucked it.

10 days to prepare for this and it sounds like we are an absolute shambles. Doesn't reflect well on our training methods.

Make that 3. Aberdeen support will be hoping they go all out for 9.

Sounds like we have conceded 2 very soft goals, all too familiar story.

Cheers. IIRC, Annan are in need of a rb and their manager asked Craigan if we could try out Fry there in the Killie game.

That would be my team, with Frear, Pearson and Cadden taking it in turns to get close to Moult.
