    Celtic game

    Since Tony Docherty came in and transformed our club this season the football has been good to watch,
    and we have been very competitive, except for our games against the old firm.

    Our record against the old firm is woeful and i have been disappointed with our results against them this season,
    as i thought Docherty would have the tactics to stifle Celtic and Rangers.

    With Celtic needing to win tonight, to keep in check with Rangers, I'm thinking we might be in for a heavy defeat tonight.

    All the pressure is on Celtic.

    Never judge on old firm games.....just hope no doing and everything crossed for a very unlikely PT.

    Took Fergie years to convince Aberdeen they cud win in Glasgow.

    3rd best team in Scotland just suffered a 5 zip humiliation.

    Stand up, be brave but let's no be too harsh

    Aggressive defending with our forwards tracking back. Get stuck in right from the start. Everyone has to defend. Hoping for a surprise (good) result.

    Poor team selection and unfortunately lack of belief.

    A lot of blame on manager for this one but no time for players that roll over.

    It looks the manager has again picked the wrong starting eleven resulting in him having to make wholesale changes at halftime.
    Three substitutes at halftime and both forwards substituted after 64 minutes when we were losing 7-0 gives me the impression that Tony Docherty still does not know his best team.
    Starting Portales in the team when he has been out injured for several months seems a strange move.
    He should have left on the subs bench and brought on later in the game if need be.
    I was also surprised to see Finlay Robertson in the starting eleven when he has started few first team games this season.
    Again in my opinion he should have been on the subs bench.
    It was too late to substitute him before he received his second yellow card and was sent off because we had used all our subs.

    Wasnt at the game but did wonder if we were gonna get the dreaded 10 at half time,its important that TD learns from his mistakes,constant juggling is hurting us. 2 up front and throwing boys who have not played in a while right back in at parkhead was not the best idea.Could have been a lot worse no doubt.

    As soon as i saw the first goal after seven minutes, and the line up, i knew we were in for a hiding.
