Shocking and an embarrassment to all the decent people at the game and watching at home.

Really pleased to see last week's hammering hasn't affected them, it would have been easy for them to crumble.

Tough game for Celtic this afternoon after the midweek heroics. Killie is always a hard place to go. CCV and Trusty both doubtful. Scales is an able deputy, but Welsh gives me the fear.

Fortunate to get the 3 points today, Killie played well and that awful pitch didn’t help.

It’s been a challenging week, will take an ugly win and hopefully recharge batteries during the international break.

It's certainly something I would rather they didn't do. I think they should either stand outside the stadium or in the concourse if they feel they can't participate in the minutes silence.

Good to see an open game at Ibrox.
Both teams look like they are turning the corner.

What was that fiasco at the end, referee playing for time before the final whistle to stop Hearts taking an outside the box free kick.
Remember that would have been an added 12 mins had the scores been reversed.

I think Scotland have found a new superstar in Ben Doak.
He had the Croatian left back in his pocket last night.

Watched the 2nd half, very good performance.

Papers saying sending off for Croatia was a farce.

Debatable if he should not have had a red for the first yellow so no tears from me.

Papers trying to make something out of nothing there. First yellow for going through the back with no intent to win the ball. Second for a studs to knee type challenge that I think the ref did well to spot.

Nothing controversial about it at all.
What amazed me about the game was that VAR didn’t intervene and find a way to make Dykes offside at the McGinn goal. I thought for sure it was going to be rules out as he looked like he was right on the keeper and “interfering”.

If that had happened it would have made it a proper Scotland performance.

Thankfully it didn’t. Doak put a shift in just needs prove it wasn’t a one off.

I agree about possible interference and offside. I think the gk had no chance of saving it though.

What a first half v Poland

We can but dream... Can't believe there is even a chance we could be in pot A for world Cup qualifiers..... No doubt it'll go pear shaped very soon...

 

[Arthur Wedge]

Still just a single goal needed

Like that?

 

[KenL]

Scotland have been rubbish for 2 years, what was it, one win in 16 games? Pot 1 for WC qualifying would be bizarre.

 

[C7usk]

Like that?

Lol... Indeed.. What a finish right enough...

 

[C7usk]

Get in there....

Oaft. What a result.

 

[rudebhoy]

Great win.

What was going on with the tv coverage though? Went to watch the 2nd half, took me 10 minutes to find the game - nothing on any of the usual channels, finally got it on New Zealand Sky Sports!
