I presume McGregor probably started moving off his line, so Hayes didn't do the normal thing of cutting it back. Perhaps he should have but I can't really blame him.

Is it just me or does Adam Rooney look a real player? I don't mean a decent lower end of the SPL player but if Goodwillie is the best young Scottish talent outside the OF, then Rooney looks a more complete player. His holding up play is spot on, plus he scores. The sky's the limit.

Yeh I agree about Adam! He's been getting on top of and been bulying defenders recently. Just hope we can hold on to him!

Interesting stat...................................

Our away form is often discussed, but

tonights SPL table shows that every one of the top five

Teams has won more matches playing away than they

have at home.

Another interesting stat

We're the only team with 3 players in the top 15 scorers.

BBC

My poor niece near ended up in tears when we scored. Not through joy, but from the fright of the shout I let out

I've been saying all week that we would take something from this game and despite going a goal down I was still confident that we were playing well enough to rescue a result.....isn't it great to have that belief in your team!!!

Superb result, never mind holding onto our best players, I think we are going to struggle to hold onto Terry & Mo. So chuffed tonight!

Those on the team bus will be dancing in the high street of Aucterarder with their fish suppers tonight! Can you imagine Rangers or Celtic's players and management getting that treat!

Fantastic result and a nice bonus point

Excellent call on Jim Traynor's "Your Call" from Jimmy in Inverness, who said everything I was wanting to say on that programme, but couldn't get through.

He was absolutely right to suggest that Walter never gave ICT any credit for their performance today - also that the pressure the OF put the refs under has become totally unacceptable. Also Traynor and the Beeb seem to forget that their programme is broadcast the length and breadth of Scotland and not everyone is obsessed with what happens in Weegieland.

Does anyone know who "Jimmy" in Inverness is?

Smith never does. Many Rangers managers, fans and players are self-righteous tawts. Traynor obviously plays to his listenership.

I have no problem with Hayes having a go as he has been scoring these attempts recently.

Just in from the game and wow Rangers should feel relieved with a point. We played absolutely brilliantly from the first minute to the last and we really showed that we were there not just to get a point but to try and get all three. We passed the ball brilliantly and at times it was hard to tell that we were the promoted team and that they were the Scottish Champions. Not one player let themselves down and i hate picking out one player for particular praise but young Shinnie at left back...take a bow. I can't recall one time in the entire match where Davis, first half, or Naismith in the second half took him on and got past him. He looked so comfortable and his distribution was brilliant. Munro and Tokely defended brilliantly and that dreaded long ball didn't appear at any stage in the afternoon. I could go on singing the praises of the team all night!

Terry and Mo are clearly building something special at our club and it's brilliant to be a part of it. The support this afternoon was brilliant with everyone joining in the singing and banter. The players definitely respond to that and it was great to see the players come to the fans at the end of the game and show appreciation for the support they received.

Great point and in my view we were very unlucky not to get all three. Fantastic game.

Great post, jrict....

Have a green dot.

Why is the female supporter wearing ICT colours not joining in the celebration with Eric, Adam and Richie?

Just on the train home. Great game, great performance. Shame I couldn't celebrate the goal being in the Rangers end, but I loved it.

Nice one C1C3!

A penny for her thoughts......

Are those ICT colours or a Hun Union Jack?

No more please

Hayes & Rooney just came into McDonald's in Perth....

You sure it's not Ronald and you forgot your glasses.

Hayes & Rooney just came into McDonald's in Perth....

They're supposed to be at a chippy in Auchterarder.

I hope Terry is reading them the riot act for being out of position :angry:

Maybe both! Bobby Mann style fitness regime.

They're due a treat though.

Macdonalds eh? I suppose they can have one a season.

Reminds me of a quote from Arsene Wenger once when he talked about what players eat or consume and how important it was in relation to a professional footballer or sportsoman and the fact that "you wouldn't think of putting diesel in a sports car"

Simply the best.............

That was one of our best performances of the season, as good as the United game and against much better opposition. If only wee Jonny was not so greedy, but you can't blame him really. Rangers goal was a curious one, Edu dummied himself, but the ball sat up and he thumped it high and hard past Esson. Great strike, but fortunate as well. We defended brilliantly for the remainder of the first half. We were fantastic in the second half and Macgregor made a tremendous save from Foran, although he really should have scored. Foran stole the ball and a couple of passes later the ball was fed into Eric and he bundled it into the net from close range. Jonny was ripping the left back to shreds and should have won all three points for u, but hey ho.

Great game of football, and I don't think I have seen us play much better, we looked like a proper team.

Great support from the ICT fans, Simply the Best............
