The Maswanhise one there was definite contact on his ankles

Yep but outside the box so VAR can’t help rescind the yellow. 

[texanwellfan]

Decent defensive display so frustrating to give up that manner of goal. However I don’t think it changes our plan. Based on our clean sheet record we have to be thinking Celtic will score and so we always needed to score.

Paton struggling a bit today. Ball keeps sticking between his feet 

[texanwellfan]

Ref giving corner retake. Should have been a free kick to us if he thinks guybhit it twice 

[Richie]

Wanting a pen for that 😂

[mio]

That was going in until it hit Watt’s back FFS

That's 4 yellow cards so far. Poor Celtic; we must be kicking them off the park.

[Kmcalpin]

Crumbling at aerial balls again.

[Kmcalpin]

5 yellow cards now and counting. 

[Orinoco]

We needed to be squeaky clean today to avoid conceding a penalty. 

When the old firm are struggling they always get the decisions others don't. Nothing has changed with the introduction of var.

Whether Ox touched him or not, was he offside?, the tumble or should I say dive was not consistent. 

No wonder players heads drop, when they know all their effort counts for nothing. 

Scottish authorities are continuing to run our game into the ground, just so two clubs are kept sweet.

Always a treat playing vs the team with 10x your team value and budget 😂🥳 At least we have Rangers next up on Sunday

[Spiderpig]

Let's be honest, pumped by a much better team, anything we get from these games is a big bonus, that only happens very occasionally. The ugly sisters, the green one especially very rarely drop points two games in a row, we have a better chance of a result on Sunday against the blue uglies as they are brutal at times.

[wellfan]

Gash. Onto the next one. 

[Benson]

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ 

[Yodo]

Tactics were shocking not one shot on target 

[Motherwell Daft]

Offered absolutely nothing, passed the ball to Tic, hoofed to nobody, deserved to be pumped….

I just ignore these games, don't want to ruin my festive spirit.

Think Tony Watt thought he still played for Tic the amount of times he gave the ball to them.

[wellsince75]

Always low expectations in these games .

0 shots on target and 15% possession - yuck . 

[santheman]

I don't get too hot and bothered about these Old Firm games although it might have been interesting if we hadn't given away the "non" penalty who knows?

Only non surprise was the referee giving us the "f*ck you" for bad mouthing one of his pals. Thats how it works although he could have been a little more subtle about it.

That's what irritates me most. I  don't expect to beat them but I expect to make it hard for them, we are generally devoid of the basics in these games and today was just another where we cant pass with any accuracy and have no out, so we resort to our favourite tactic of hoofing it. So it comes straight back on us. It's actually pathetic even accounting for the gulf in budgets. Look how Dundee Utd handled them compared to how we did it. Our defence is poor and our midfield is weak. Our squad is so large I don't see any incoming changes in January. I still don't see us in the top 6 come seasons end bit will be happy to be wrong.

Yes, there will be changes next month. Some players will need to move on but SK knows that. I can foresee us strengthening central defence, midfield and the striking department. 

Agree about top 6. A step too far for us this season. Personally I'd be very happy with 7th or even 8th place as that would represent progress.
