BBC website seems to have changed layout overnight (for the worse) and it appears there is NO live commentary on this game from the BBC or MFR !!!!

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/scot_prem/6305553.stm

perfect Ronnyc. thanks !

Looks like some large gaps in the stands - won't be getting any crowd points in Gringo's NPL for my prediction today!

perfect Ronnyc. thanks !

No problemo. Early start for us today! Not even 5am yet.

8am for me .... on first coffee ;)

Looks like Celtic fans are taking this game more seriously than us!!

That's a brilliant finish from Samaras but horrible defending from our point of view.

What the hell is Tokely playing at?

Our defence is a shambles. *sigh*

was gonna praise out 1/4 effort but two bits of rossco madness has us almost 0-2 down!

not sure playing a 4-5-1 was wise if we want to win, tade seems to be running himself ragged for no reason.

Better Tokely! Unlucky there.

Terrible defending and goalkeeping involved in the Cellic goal!

HT....certainlly not out of it yet. Need to harrass Cellic more on the ball. They really dont like that. Just need to keep chipping away at them. We deffo looking ropy at the back. A few times in the first half we tried to play our way out of defence. Thats a big no no in my book. We were lucky to get away with it a few times

1st half impressions

Us

With the exception of that woeful first half goal, our defending has been good, lots of pass and move action keeping celtic at bay. i'd sacrifice a midfielder to have two up front but hayes than foran as he is doing a good job making celtic work for it on their attack. a lack of finishing in the final third will harm us if we don't put more effort into the attack, can see sutherland coming on for ross or shinnie in the 2nd half to give a more credible goalscoring opportunity.

Them

apart from that admittedly excellent finish by samararse they've had the stronger back 4 but with us only playing tade up front i'd expect them to hold us off easily, an almost non existent midfield would explain their lack of attacking opportunities but when they get them they're dangerous and with assists like that from Rossco we may still end up losing this game.

Celtic don't look anything special on first half showing but just not too sure how Tel will change it to give us more bite. Tuffey looked to have misjudged Samaras's shot even though it moved in the air but not a whole lot. Thought Ross has worked hard and Hayes may just be trying too hard to impress.

They arent....this is the most average Celtic team in the last 25 odd yrs. They are there for the taking

Forty three minutes of good play and two minutes of madness puts us one behind. Repeat the forty three minutes with 110% concentration and we can still do it.

Gnapka and Sutherland on - positive move

That's why noone likes Proctor.

Proctor gives away a penalty .... its 0-2 !!!

Long way back now - let's see how we respond to this....

Nothing to lose now. Get Proc off and Winnall on

Proctor gives away ANOTHER penalty this season, think that's the nail in his ICT coffin.

R.I.P. Proctor

We Won't Miss You When You Play For Ross County Nest Season

Doubt i would have said this at the start of the season but i think we're really missing Golobart today, could have done with him today.

Poor play from Proctor again, but Cellic player didn't need much encouragemant to go down!!! ( had next goal a penalty @ 14/1, so not all bad) 25/1 for next goal pen
