What can be said about the final that hasn't already been said?
We finished the domestic season as we started it - with a defeat.
A game that wasn't easy on the eye. Ruined in part by an incompetent referee performance but more so by the quality on show from both teams.
Decided by a goal from the first time we actually gave Celtic the chance to break from midfield and an uncharacteristic error from Butland.
No point in slating individual or collective performances. Fingers crossed it's all over for a large group of these players.
Thank feck this season is over.

There is a point raskin was totally lazy dangling a leg instead of chasing back I stand by my original assessment of raskin not being any better than a standard decent spl player is he any better than Barron or Watson I’d say no.

Go for, i actually thought that both raskin and diomande had good games against them on saturday and controlled the midfield for long spells in the second half? Their winning goal all stems from our attack and scott wright's inability to control a pass that should have been meat and drink and from there they break on us?The bad mistake was made long before it gets near butland who i'm not excusing from any blame because the big fella made a mistake that 99 times out of 100,he wouldn't have made ☹️I thought diomande was our best player and my rangers motm which is being honest scant consolation because we lost a cup final and lost to them again ?Over to you philippe clement and this very important rebuild for next season ?.

Gofor raskin tried to foul him it was the last min of the game and he was shattered ?♂️ he was one of our best players at weekend.

Gofor he’s came out the cold and hardly played he’d have been knackered by the 90th min after putting in such a shift like he did.

Coop, i thought Raskin was poor. My man of the match was Sterling.

Should have done more to take the booking, a lack of experience probably at end of game, not blaming him for the goal as you could see he was tired, MaGregor took a booking for a similar foul on Cantwell in the first half as he was breaking thru the midfield.
Makes no odds now.

I love that the bad mistake was wright. Butland sold the jerseys.

Sws I Tottaly agree Dio was head and shoulders above everyone else IMO, he’s a very talented boy and he looks like he hates to lose, know a lot of people he late the petulance Alfie used to show and Dio almost did at the weekend but at least it shows they hate losing and care a bit! Unlike some in the side who just accept it as the norm these days. Raskin gets a lot of stick but he’s clearly not match fit and done really well as did both CBs. Tav n Yilmaz were horrible.

Raskin was dead on his feet, not had a lot of minutes lately. Thought he had a good game. More like what he was like prior to injury.
27 May 2024 14:15:49
All about opinions Baxterboy, but raskin was far from poor mate in my eyes ? Like i said, i thought him and dio dominated the midfield and of course he tired late on, as he hasn't played a lot of late but was more like his old self ?.
27 May 2024 15:50:52
Dio was my man of the match and Raskin a close 2nd. Sterling done ok in a position he should never be playing but wasn’t the best for us.

I totally agree storm and coming home from Hampden in our supporters bus on saturday all of us thought the same ?I actually thought balogun and davies played well also but it's hard to consolidate as we lost the cup final ☹️.

Dio and Raskin had good games, our tactics were spot on and stopped their midfield controlling the game, once we stepped back and stopped them playing through us on the press they struggled, they were only going to get weaker as game went on and if Sima and Matando had been fully fit and had game time under their belt then we score a couple in second half and the game plan would of worked a treat, it gave me a bit more optimism of the manager and some of the players who will be staying, add the right new recruits and a pre season under their belt then a think it will be more than just hope for the coming season.

We lost the game because we failed to score more goals than the opposition. Simple as that. Injuries to key players, poor acquisitions over a number of years, failure to move people on before they stop being assets and start being liabilities, a failure to improve the squad season after season. Take your choice.
We enter another preseason hoping that the players brought in this time round are better than previous, the majority of us are frustrated that the powers that be never seem to learn.
