Hearts v Celtic šŸ€

Starfelt might have been a bit unlucky for the goal given it deflected back behind him when he got the challenge in. But we look wide open back there. Taylor has been lively in fairness to him but his defensive work has been poor. Bitton is backing off a lot and Ralston is very limited.

Edouard doesnā€™t look sharp again up front. Iā€™d switch the wingers anyway - Forrest is invariably much better on the right and Adaba looks like heā€™s reasonably comfortable going right or left.

Canā€™t be too passive here either. A draw is a poor result here. A loss is really poor. We need to chase this game with a really high tempo for the second 45 minutes. We played 120 minutes during the week but that should stand to us at this stage of the season. Donā€™t let them settle into a defensive pattern.

Weā€™ve had plenty of possession in good areas but not making the best use of it. Should be creating more openings. Subs will be important/needed after extra time the other night. As an aside, you can set your watch by these Scottish refs. Celtic behind - no injury time.

Iā€™d hook Forrest. Heā€™s been shocking, Michael Smith having you in your back pocket is worrying.

Iā€™d like to have seen Bitton getting back across quicker for their goal too. He goes out when Starfelt is beaten but doesnā€™t kill himself to get back on the cover until the ball breaks loose. We look so passive and slow to anticipate danger.

Weā€™re agreed so. Should have been a yellow.

Awful ball from Abada.

We need VAR in Scotland.

Halliday on the pitch and McCullough on the coaching staff, lets pump these cunts.
