Big John strolled it mate!First one done, now it’s time for a strong run of wins. Shame Souttar won’t be back until after WC but thought there was a noticeable difference in both Tav and Lundstram today. Break has done them good.

Remember when GVB came in, we had a stinking run of fixtures in December yet we won 9/9.What anyone has seen to think we will take maximum points from that is beyond me.
But I agree that it's what we need.
Tav looked like he'd dropped a few kgs of muscle and definitely has a bit more pace about himFirst one done, now it’s time for a strong run of wins. Shame Souttar won’t be back until after WC but thought there was a noticeable difference in both Tav and Lundstram today. Break has done them good.
Gio record domestically (league/cup) v non bheast sides:-Assuming the current management team are in charge for all 8 games, then I’d imagine it’ll go something like:
L, W, W, W, D, W, W, D
5 wins from those 8 will be about par for Gio’s domestic record since he’s been here, with a couple of stupid draws and a loss away to a tough venue thrown in for good measure.

In the league it’s not just similar, it’s the exact same across the last season and 7 games if we include the full picture.Which is great but the issue is that postegolou probably has a similar win ratio v the diddies but has the bonus of winning the old firm games also.
It just shows that there isn't a lot between the teams.In the league it’s not just similar, it’s the exact same across the last season and 7 games if we include the full picture.
League outcome in non old firms (using full seasons including SG league games last year)
Played 41 v 41
Points available - 123
Points 104 v 104
Old firms play a huge part - although for us dropping points in the last mins v Hearts and RC and throwing away a 2 goal lead v mwell at home didn’t help our cause. And a 1-0 lead at home to mwell. And drawing 2-2 at home to a horrendous sheep side.

We have also played about 12 more games in Europe in that time than they have, which definitely plays a part.
I would expect us both to get to the game at New Year without dropping much points.
That game is a must win for Gio

Crazy to think how some of those draws have come about too. McGregor chucking in a goal to make it 3-3 at Ross County, 2 stonewall penalties denied at Dundee Utd, losing a 2 goal lead at home to Motherwell, and losing a last minute equaliser with 9 men at Hibs. Not sure many of those can be pinned on the manager.
Plenty of times over the last 12 months the same could be said about Celtic despite their ‘free flowing world class best football’.The problem is that his style of play and tactics have meant we are hanging on in a lot of games rather than being out of sight.

Truth is that both teams are as likely to drop points as each other.
I honestly fancy us to be top going into the World Cup break, then we have them at Ibrox in the new year which will be a huge game.I would agree. It is so important we get a minimum of a win and 2 draws in the remaining old firm fixtures. Can’t afford them to win any of the next three as it would put massive pressure on us to win the other two
No we didnt.Remember when GVB came in, we had a stinking run of fixtures in December yet we won 9/9.
Livi, Hibs and Hearts away? For a team who’s manager had just pissed off?No we didnt.
Livingston wasn't in December, Hibs were 6th in the league and we had St Mirren, St Johnstone, Dundee and Dundee United at home.Livi, Hibs and Hearts away? For a team who’s manager had just pissed off?
Don’t know how much difficult it could have been.
Neil from Fife sure isI hope the drama queens who posted are getting notifications for this thread.
Hearts, Hibs and Livingston are possibly our hardest away grounds away from the piggery and we had visits to all 3 of them as well as Lyon in the space of 14 days.Livingston wasn't in December, Hibs were 6th in the league and we had St Mirren, St Johnstone, Dundee and Dundee United at home.
It was a good run of form but totally expected in my view with those home fixtures.
