    Watkins has been poor aswell. Need a bit of luck from somewhere. Ref is a fud aswell. Bitton should have been booked for tackle from behind

    We should really take off Cosgrove and Considine and put on 2 more attacking players. We are out unless we up the tempo big time.

    To be fair he started with five attack minded players in a Hampden semi against celtic, can't ask much more than that from a selection point of view. Whilst Cosgrove did very little I understand the decision to start him as he looked lively in the 20 minutes he played against them last week plus Edmundson didn't train all week after coming off injured last week. So for once you can't blame a McInnes starting line-up

    You have to score first against celtic and we missed our two half chances in the first 10 minutes from the Cosgrove headers and they scored with their half chance from Christie. Second goal was very poor from Considine at back post. Game was done at that point and the remaining hour was largely a borefest from both teams

    Pretty pish in the end. Pleased we tried to put out an attacking line up, but after they scored we just faded away. We didn't deserve anything out of that game.

    We gave up after the second goal. Never once seen any players or our manager trying to really up the tempo. Hedges, Wright, Kennedy and Hoban tried I will give them that but the rest were dreadful really. In fairness to McLennan he can join that list...he at least tried when he came on.
    We missed Hayes today also in the respect he has a real go at the Celtic players. He tries to make things happen. Quite a few of our lot should be looking at him and learning.
