Morning Bears, gutted with the result yesterday and more so the performance after they went down to 10 men. The game for me hinges on small margins und ultimately quality finishing. Twice Morelos missed good opportunities and Celtic went straight up the park and scored either of these goes in and we have a third goal and we win the game IMO. The defending was shocking for all their goals and too many players were not good enough.
I thought Docherty and Murphy were both terrific on the day and if we can get Cummings, Dorrans in there playing at the same level as well as better from Tav Goss and John then we will give them a game or two before the end of the season!

Bears, there was clear progress in Rangers first half performance today. However, in the second half, despite having long periods of quality possession in wide areas, our delivery is poor. So many crosses swung in by players who can’t lift their heads which went far too deep or did not get past the first defender. What happened to dropping a ball into the danger area or trying to pick out one of your own team - we lacked composure. Finally, I don’t believe Fotheringham commands his area, his distribution is poor, as a keeper he is soft, and why he was way off his line for both 1st and 2nd goals only he knows. Still, onwards and upwards and Murty must stay.

I thought Declan John was our best player yesterday.

Controversial, given previous weeks performances, but I though Goss was well of the pace and couldn't handle the atmosphere. Murphy and John first half were terrific, but when Cetic pulled back after going down to 10 men - they had no room to work. Docherty again looked good for his age/ experience and will only get better for it, he got lost in 2nd half when he was taken off man marking broon and forced to play in front to the defence after Bates went off. Tav / Candeias (aprt from goal) didn't do much and their crosses in 2nd half were woeful.
Game of 2 halves was never more apparent and we didn't adapt well when Celtic parked the bus.
