It’s hard to say it, but the truth is that these Celtic players don’t have the stomach or ability to win this title…

There was optimism in the air before kick off yesterday afternoon. We all knew there was a battle ahead, but we still had confidence we would get the job done and earn those valuable three points.But bhoy oh bhoy were we wrong, despite an okay start and grabbing the opening goal through a lovely header by Kyogo from a Ralston assist (our wingers don’t do assists), it all went downhill from there on in.

Killie were well worth their point. It came as no surprise to anyone when they scored in added time, it was plain to see for everyone in the ground that it was coming. In fact if it wasn’t for Joe Hart it could have been a lot worse.

We looked lacklustre, slow and pedestrian yet again. Backward passes, sideward passes, wasted passes. It’s all getting rather predictable and boring, and most worryingly it’s doing nothing for us. To be blunt it’s a joke that’s far from being funny.

Teams know how to set up against us and it works, how long does Brendan need to figure that out himself? Everyone in the stand knows it, and most importantly so do opposing managers, Derek McInnes admitted as much in his post match interview.

Brendan Rodgers of course has a massive ego. He won’t ditch his principles, he won’t ditch his wingers, which is fine if it’s working 99 percent of the time, but it’s clearly not.

His tactics are killing a team, the majority of whom won a treble last year. They look lost and low on confidence. It’s tough to say it, but it has to be said, they don’t look like they have the stomach or ability to win the title, if anything they look in danger of holding on to second place. The signs are very worrying indeed.

Just an Ordinary Bhoy
