1. The red card isn't even up for debate. That could easily have been a broken leg for Aribo. Porteous really is a nasty piece of work.
2. Yep - I was one of his critics but he's definitely found his feet. Looks assured and puts in a lot of graft which probably isn't noticed.
3. Hibs will definitely be top 3 and possibly second. They will need to keep hold of Nesbit in the next transfer window though.
4. I appreciate (of course) the goals Morelos has scored but for me I'm not sure he deserves to be mentioned in the company you have mentioned. For me - 1. McCoist 2. Mols 3. Prso 4. Jelavic 5. Boyd
1. It was a red card for me.
2. Not seen enough of him to comment, but he was very poor against United. Having said that, I felt the way you set up and tried to play was very mechanical, in that he was constantly sacrificing his position in possession to try to release Tavernier. Perhaps he's now playing more of his own game?
3. They should finish in the European spots and will most likely battle it out with Hearts for third.
4. Morelos is a very difficult player to like for opposing fans (unlike, for example, Mols and Prso who I think most admired). Therefore you'll never get consensus from non-Rangers fans about him being a very good player. I personally think he's a good player, has moments where he's very good, but he's also a sullen faced kant who appears to go in the huff a bit too often to be a top player.
Ivan on Lundstrum you are spot on. I noticed that in pre season too, he looked like he was signed to cover Tavernier in the way Kamara often covers Barisic on the other side. We rely on our full backs as a threat and think the idea was to let them take more risks and play further forward with cover on both sides. It never really worked because if you play Lundstrum and Kamara in that way and then also use Davis you ultimately have 3 flat midfielders with no penetration or player to run beyond the forwards. It means if you then stop the full backs you stop us completely.
He has played a different role more recently in the centre and it has worked. The only question mark is it has often been instead of Davis who is clearly a big player for us and Kamara is never going to drop out so I think he still has to work out how he perhaps gets the most out of that midfield.

Its such an unnecessary red card !!
he doesnt have to go in like that , he just wants to take a bit of the man and put a marker down . Idiotic challenge and he cost his side imo
Didnt see the game but Hibs have some good individuals and should be up near the top - By all accounts not much between the teams

Whats with this 1-0 thing that people keep banging on about ?
Has Ange said something ?
It’s a definite red card for anyone that knows the room, folk saying there’s no contact are complete idiots.
On Lundstram have been a critic, but do think he’s been much better when he isn’t playing next to Davis.
Hibs, and Hearts have started brilliantly think they’ll both be definite too 6, and likely 3rd/4th but can’t see either keeping this close to top.

Absolutely spot on.
He's trying to take the ball and the man.
That's how he missies the ball. His leading foot is that high that he ends up going over the ball and the ball hits underneath his leg/backside.
He keeps his leg low, studs down then he wins the ball no problem. No red, no yellow, no issue.
Aribo is not the most lightweight physically - can you imagine Porteous does that against a physically smaller player like Kyogo whilst he's running at full tilt. If he catches him, he'll seriously injure him
Red all day long, debate not required.
Lundstram looked decent against 10 men and i agree performances from him have went up a level but i'm still not sold on him. Jury remains out but hopefully he and the team continue to go through the gears.
Hibs were better than us 11 v 11 and pretty comfortably so until the Porteous let them down massively again.
Morelos is in with Prso and Jelavic etc already for me. Although them two were undoubtedly better players. He's better than Boyd but less reliable.
McCoist out on his own and Mols pre-injury levels above the rest. Post-inury not even in the discussion.

More Flange than Ange.
All you need to know is if Celtic turn a 1-0 defeat into a 1-0 win then they will win the league
That is a FACT.

Never a red, the Ref's obviously a bun.
Prso and Jelavic better players no question, but we only really got 2 seasons out of them both.
Based on potentially 5 consistent seasons, some medals and over 100 goals I think Morelos should be mentioned in similar company.
Yeah well we are in 4 competitions this season.
Ah - the medals are potential.
Fair enough - ahm just looking forward to next weekends potential 3some wi kylie and salma hayek

You might have just rescued Juke from 1-0 wins.
