Ange has been getting the plaudits and rightly so as the team has been playing well, but in my opinion this ones on him, making so many changes in the last game before the international break wasn't necessary, Turnbull and Mooy are not going to do what Hatate and O'Riley have been doing and CCV's absence was massive, no need to panic but I hope lessons have been learned.

Squad should be strong enough to step up though. Especially after we have played in Europe during the week.

Exactly. A lot of boys didn't show up today. So ropey at the back! Rangers aren't going to go away either. Hopefully just an off day today. Getting serious bad press as well for the banners and singing during the minute's silence,

Lol well the minute's applause

[Targetman]

I know even the Celtic supporters were applauding!

The funny bit was that the GB assumed there would be a minutes silence for HM, therefore their banner read  'clap your hands if you hate the monarchy'.
But there was a 'thwart' in play, the minute applause.

Meanwhile at Holyrood park there weren't enough in attendance to raise a murmur of discontent.

Ange has came out and took the flak for the defeat so he has taken it on the chin. Celtic had 80% possession but the game was still played on St Mirren's terms which is odd, St Mirren deserved it for the reason they fought harder and wanted it more. They bullied and bossed it which is a bit alarming but probably tells Ange more than most that these squad players aren't as good as he thought and that just too many changes at one time. Either way it the first defeat in a calendar year and it happens from time to time, it will bring them back down to earth and providing there are not more defeats to follow it won't be a bad thing.

International break now so a bit of time to reflect...as much as Ange defended the team and took the flak I'd say he tore them a new ass in the changing rooms for that display, be interesting how Motherwell fare out next game as apparently St Mirren guy was on slabbering about how St Mirren have cracked it on how to beat Celtic...

It was known for a while there would be an applause. The banner was in response to that

And it was so obvious that it went as planned by those Celtic fans.

Looks like Kyle Lafferty is in a spot of bother

And what particular twist on my reply to Tonto are you peddling?

Kilmarnock striker Kyle Lafferty could face a 10-match ban after he admitted letting himself and his club down over his alleged use of sectarian language.

The 35-year-old Northern Ireland international has received a club fine after a video appeared on social media.

He also faces a Scottish FA hearing on 20 October.

"Kyle regrets his actions and acknowledges that he has let down himself, his family, the club and the supporters," Kilmarnock stated.

The Scottish Premiership club say they have imposed "a substantial fine" and that Lafferty has agreed to work with an anti-sectarian charity.

"Kyle has also committed to supporting the club's community projects, which will see him participating in Nil by Mouth's educational initiatives, in addition to serving Kilmarnock's 'Football for All' programmes on a weekly basis for the foreseeable future," they say.

The SFA has accused Lafferty of not acting in the best interests of football and breaching a rule that forbids the use of insulting language, which includes reference to the likes of ethnic origin, race, nationality, religion or belief.

SFA rules state that the punishment for the latter is a mandatory minimum 10-match suspension, which can only be reduced "where exceptional circumstances are established".

Kilmarnock manager Derek McInnes had earlier said that he "can't say for certain" whether Lafferty will feature against Aberdeen on Saturday.

He was withdrawn from the Northern Ireland squad for their recent Nations League fixtures against Kosovo and Greece after Kilmarnock launched an investigation, with manager Ian Baraclough stating that a back injury had also been considered when the decision was made.

The former Motherwell manager insisted the incident was not necessarily the end of Lafferty's international career.
