I don't think fitness is the main issue. Lack of belief is the problem. And as an aside, McGhee's post match interview didn't help my mood...

For those who missed tonight's game, good news is that there will be a repeat performance a week on Saturday at Ibrox. Why do other teams that are no better than us have more belief when they go to Glasgow?

The lack of fight and belief is the most galling thing. Or at least one of many galling things from tonight's game...

While I don't disagree, manager sets the tone. Players see the team lineup and they know it's asking for trouble...

Embarrassing. Disgraceful performance. Just scunnered with us turning up and not having a go..

Haven't seen Tait have a good game for us. To be fair, have only seen him against Celtic and Rangers so won't judge him too harshly...

Indeed. And BT Sport employing Moravcik who can barely speak English is a joke...

Might still be losing but I'd be less embarrassed watching it. Going there like a (no disrespect) league two side, lining up with a back nine and firing the ball 80 yards to a midget. Fucking embarrassing...

Show them so much respect, sit so deep. We all knew what would happen. But McGhee does it anyway..

Aye. As usual with McGhee, overthinking things. Why not play our game? Been playing Ainsworth and Johnson in support of McDonald for the past few games. Stick with it...

Worth mentioning he's scored a lot more goals than Johnson...

I must confess to being a bit disappointed that when McHugh got injured that McGhee didn't bring Allan Campbell on. Why have him on the bench if you're not going to use him?

No Moult, no Lasley. Three points away from home in the circumstances is a great result, irrespective of how Kilmarnock have been playing. Good to see Ainsworth back among the goals and the likes of MacLean getting involved with the first team if only for a couple of minutes...

Is he getting a taxi home..?

Might need to open the east stand for that one...

£7 for a ten minute journey means an hourly rate of £40 an hour so aye probably

Not saying every family does. Just giving a hypothetical example of how these things can get out...

You're playing for Motherwell. Your brother or your sister knows what you earn. They have big mouths and are out with their mates asking all about the fact that a family member is a professional footballer. Their mates also have big mouths. And so it goes. Obviously with a degree of Chinese whispers as the figure gets less accurate the further you get from the player but I wouldn't say that stories never leak out. I know for a fact that they do...

Probably on the telly, will probably make enough from gate money to pay a midfielder for a year. Obviously, would rather have had Alloa at Fir Park...

We might spend £50000 on a player but that would be about it and that level of player won't be markedly better than most free agents...

If we lose Johnson for £500k, it would very, very unlikely that we could replace him with a player of a similar quality. Obviously we found Johnson but don't imagine that there are many players of his quality available on our budget. Basically it's Ainsworth, getting lucky with another unknown signing or change the way we set up the team...

For me, if Johnson leaves, a lot of responsibility falls on the shoulders of Lionel Ainsworth. Last season we used a front three of Johnson, Moult and McDonald. If we can't replace Johnson then Ainsworth would be the obvious replacement in a front three. Big concern there would be the loss of Ainsworth as a good option from the bench...

It is sobering when you hear that clubs down south are paying £50 million for players from their own league and clubs in Scotland outwith the Old Firm are offered derisory amounts. Is Gary Hooper worth 20 times what Kane Hemmings is worth..?

See it mentioned on the BBC Gossip column that we're planning to offer Craig Clay a similar deal to Lee Lucas in order to have a look at him in the next couple of games. So that's how we plan to get around McHugh being suspended tonight...

No seeding at all? Good. Proper cup draw...
