Has Archie taken this team as far as he can? In my opinion yes. Not won a league game since 7th of April is an embarrassment no matter what teams we are playing. The board has brought in better players no doubt about that but the same mistakes are being made and we haven't improved. I'm not saying sack Archie as I have no idea who to bring in. But serious questions need to be asked about the management team.

What I found any changes would people make? Erskine I think is suspended so I would bring in lawless and swap Barton with bannigan.

I think it would be interesting to see how many points have been lost by goals conceded in the last 10 mins over the past couple of seasons. It does seem like we never learn and a lot must come down to a fitness aspect. The amount of times Iv watched a game and with 10-15 to go the players look dead on their feet. I would also like to compare goals scored v goals conceded in the last 10mins. Again I can't think of us scoring too many!

Would defo drop lawless. Been hopeless in all the league games this season. If Spittal is fit I would start him instead.

Yep!

If Nisbet is playing il be turning the car around at Perth.

It seemed every time we got the ball we had to pass the ball to banzo and then to osman and then a few more times sideways before we actually tried to get the ball forward. I don't like being too harsh a young boy but if Nisbet is our back up striker then we are in serious bother. Why he always wanted to hide behind a defender and not at least try make an effort to get to the ball when it came into the box is beyond me. I think Thistle thought that if they just turn up they will win. Not very professional and in the end Stranraer deserved at least a point. Our defence is poor and it we look shakey every time a crossed ball comes in. Hopefully we get a few signings in this week because based on 3 out of the 4 cup games we will be in bother should we not improve.

Would defo take McDonald. Absolutely hate him when he plays against us but would love him to play for us! The work he does with the ball and the way he wins free kicks is just what we need. He usually refs the game most of the time and seems to bully the refs into giving everything his way. Again I would love him to do that for us because we just seem so soft as a team. Would take McDonald and either of storey or o'halleron but I think it would be a lot to ask to bring 2 of them in.

Was surprised to see Welsh leave but I believe it's the right decision. Had his best season this year but all too often would get caught in possession or slow the play down as he was far too slow on the ball. He also has one of the worst shots I have seen at this level though still believes he can score from 30 yards out. Fraser has a big 6 months ahead of him as it's make or break for him at this level. Not only will he need to prove his fitness but he will need to prove his attitude.

Absolutely burst my a*se to get to the game on time which involves dropping the kids off at the parents much to the annoyance of the mrs. I left at half time. First time I have ever done that. A disgusting performance from the whole team (bar cerny). celtic were good tonight don't get me wrong. But for the players to just chuck it and not even attempt to cover their runs or put in tackles is inexcusable. The mentality this team has against coming up against the old firm is shocking and needs to change into next season. Losing two late goals twice to lose to rangers and not even turning up to games against Celtic when the fans have paid decent money just isn't fair on them.

Very very poor and the team failed to turn up. So many players having an off day and nothing we done worked. I really think archie got it wrong today with playing Devine in the centre of the park. He was absolutely hopeless and clear after 5 mins that he is definelty not a centre mid. Amoo was also poor a rightly hooked just after half time. Edwards also had a nightmare today and anything he tried didn't come off and he continually gave the ball away far too easily. When Doolan and Erskine came on it improved slightly and we actually put a few passes together that got us shots at goal but the game was gone by that point. Cerny had a number of great saves and if wasn't for him it would easily have been 4 or 5. That is the worrying thing this is a poor rangers team that we made look good by been awful in the centre of the pitch. Hopefully not a sign of things to come that the players have chucked it as we have finished top 6 but massive improvement needed and please let that be Devines last game as a centre mid!

I see we have sold our allocation. Any idea how many tickets we got to start with?

Great result today and throughly deserved. The 3 centre backs were superb and keown never lost a header. The easiest game cerny will have all season. Only issue was we gave away possession far too easily in the middle of the park. Doolan could have had a hat trick in the first half but if it wasn't for good goal keeping (and maybe a header straight at him) we could have went in at half time more comfortable. The difference in the team mentality was massive. There players didn't look as if they knew who each other were. Absolute no togetherness and too many Jonny Foreigners. The difference being when lawless bullied their player out the park near the end and at least 5 thistle players gave him a hand slap to show how well he done was great too see. Cerny in the crowd at the end showed how much this means to the team. If I was a hearts fan I would be gutted at the way cathro has took this team.

3 games on the TV so ours if it's on (should be as it's tie of the round on paper) will be played on the Sunday as the old firm can't play on the same day at home.

I wasn't at today's game however been at the last 4 before it and Doolan has looked absolutely hopeless. At least with Azeez he will create a chance (will never score right enough) but with Doolan he doesn't look like he will ever create a chance let alone score a goal at the moment!
