It wasn't the best performance.
But after a horrendous couple of weeks the win is all that matters.
Another chance to win a trophy this season.
Something we've all moaned about. Not winning enough domestic trophies.
Yes, the league is the main one but if we aren't winning that we need to be picking up Cups.
Great to see Dessers get a couple.
I was critical of the resigning of Balogun. But to be fair he was solid at the back.
And tactically I thought Clement was back to his best. ?⚪️?.

TBH i thought it was a good, comfortable performance by us yesterday ?From the very start i thought we had much more energy and urgency within our ranks before dropping off a wee bit after 25minutes ?We then picked it up again and ran out comfortable winners and big dessers could have scored 5 yesterday. Thought butland,
tav, sterling, balogun, dio, cantwell and dessers all played well yesterday, with cantwell my motm???.

Great result after the last two calamitous matches - we stifled Hearts but apart from a few Souttar wobbles we looked ok at back - only concern is our wing play which was again lacking - just shows how much Cortes is missed ( direct running with pace) - Matondo again looked caught in headlights on occasion and you could see that PC was annoyed with him not being direct when man was there to take on - no point having blistering pace and not using it! - got to say the boy has never played well when starting - gut feeling is he is an impact sub at most.
Even McCausland looked for easy passes rather than committing his man (but hopefully that's just down to his recent injury and lack of fitness) Its one area where Celtic give us headaches in pacey direct wing play and an area where we need improvement if we want to kill off teams.
Great to have a final to look forward to - but this is time to turn up and show than we CAN beat them?.

It was a better performance than what we have been delivering in the league, recently, but that wouldn't be hard. Balogun and Dessers were the standouts, with Diomonde playing his part.
Even though we won, the usual suspects do what they always do, and start to get carried away. A cup semi, at Hampden, against a team we regularly, and comfortably beat, is a total different ball game (pardon the pun) to playing them away in the league. Some can't help themselves!

We certainly weren’t at our best but in the breath I never thought we were in danger of not winning.
I hope the squad take a bit of a confidence boost into the final league games and now the final.

I agree with that SWS OBE.
I felt we controlled the match in the most part.
We can now concentrate on 5 cup finals in the league before the Scottish Cup Final.
The League’s a marathon and we’re entering the home straight faze so let’s kick the legs and hope that they blink next.

I never thought we looked like losing because Hearts were terrible, Dado.

I’m sure nobody’s getting carried away Raisetheroofe.
Nobody said winning the league was going to be easy from my recollection.
We never won 56 league titles loosing heart when the going got tough though.

Yeah fair point MPH.

CO2 i did, because the football we were playing was improving up until the start of February and never seen us only talking 2 points out of 9 the three previous league games, but if we can win the last six games we win the treble.

Fair play, My Star, holding your hands up. Oh, and by the way, you weren't the only one.
22 Apr 2024 10:44:32
My star, 6 wins is a big ask. 2 of those wins need to be against a Celtic team we haven't beaten all season.
22 Apr 2024 10:53:11
We also need to improve our GD MyStar or we are relying on others talking more points off Celtic.
Can we do it?
Course we can. Until the table tells us differently.
22 Apr 2024 11:00:25
Yesterday showed me 2 wingers this summer and imo matondo won't do McCausland shows promise but needs to add more.
22 Apr 2024 11:44:56
Every goal we score against them in the league will count double.
22 Apr 2024 12:15:27
Fair enough my star.
I knew you were super confident but couldn’t recall you stating it would be easy which was my point.
I do admire your confidence though.
22 Apr 2024 12:25:59
Good point Seeker.
3-0 win and match their other results and we are Champions ??⚪️??
The Treble is on!

young ross was much much better than he has been recently imo.
