ICT all-time Scottish Cup record. It doesn't just 'feel' like we often get Celtic, they are in fact the club we've met most often.

Tactically, Hughes nailed this. Putting Tremarco in (who I thought had his best game in an ICT shirt) and putting Shinnie further forward was causing Celtic no end of problems. After about 10 mins, we had one break and ended up with a four on three because of the pace that Watkins, Williams and Shinnie could pass and go at. Sure we had to defend, but again did that well and it's something you would expect to do at Celtic. The goal was avoidable, and apart from that I felt comfortable that we would get out with a draw yesterday. Not to be, but a massively impressive performance.

I'd really want to avoid playing a premiership side at this stage. Rangers, Hearts and Hibs also. The Non league sides would be good, would also like a trip to east end park or cappielow as I haven't been there in ages

Is he ? I know he has now hit the threshold for a suspension, but don't those take a week or so come into effect when they are accrued over a number of matches ? Have to wait until Thursday when the new disciplinary list is published to be sure whether it is the Accies game or another he will be out for.

Had my doubts about the way the team was set up at first, but overall I think it worked pretty well but for a few individual player lapses. Against another team, where we were likely to have a lot of pressure, I'd like Hughes to have stuck with McKay to allow him to try to play his way through the goal drought, but against Celtic it made more sense to start with a forward player - Watkins - who would provide more pace on the counter-attack. Allowing Shinnie to play in a more advanced role, and more centrally, also worked fairly well: Christie could have played the same role but wouldn't have offered what Shinnie offered tracking back, and while Shinnie did almost put us in trouble a couple of times with misplaced passes, overall I felt that he was one of our best players, and seemed to be everywhere. In the end, though it did feel like a bit of a chance missed. I can understand that Watkins was maybe trying to conserve his energy, and he did have a very good second half, but I felt that he could have chased down and pressed the ball more in the first half, especially as it became clear that he could completely own Denayer for pace. There were also a few too many times where we just turned away from Celtic instead of trying to build any sort of direct attack: the most infuriating was a free kick near the left touchline about 40 yards from the Celtic goal, which just got played backwards into our own half and ended up putting our defence under pressure. Lastly - and I'm surprised no-one has mentioned this yet - Draper's decision to simply stop with his hand in the air appealing for a free kick that never came in the build-up to the goal was absolutely criminal: Stokes simply strolled past him and set up Guidetti for a neat finish. We did play well for the last half hour - Hughes got his subs right, although I'd like to have seen Doran on a little earlier - and Christie offered more options and movement in the middle of the park, without quite having the creative impact that we've seen he's capable of. I'd have him in from the start against Hamilton, I think, though: I know that Vincent apparently had a very good game last week, but yesterday, once again, I couldn't see what he offered beyond a lot of running around and rather predictable passing in the middle of the park. I'm probably missing something though, as plenty of people seem to rate him.

Magical or not, top sides consistently beat teams like Hamilton and Motherwell. Hamilton are a good side but have lost 2 and drew 1 of their last 3. At home we should expect to win. Motherwell home or away on their current form we should expect to comfortably win

I personally thought that the team selected today was actually quite a positive one purely on the basis that it was the best team on current form. I wasn't at the game today but I will have to agree with you about Vincent playing on the wings as I don't think he is as comfortable out their than he is in a central role which we seen him play last weekend very well but he may have move about during the game so I can't really make any comments about that. Marley Watkins is our top goalscorer and he has the pace and strength to hold up the ball so surely it makes sense to play him up top while he's on form. Listening on the radio today it sounded like he could have put us in front in the first half, so surely it wasn't all bad him playing up front. Billy Mckay needed to start on the bench today and possibly a few more games. Harsh as that may sound, but you have to look at the positive aspect of bringing him into the game late, we should have had a late equaliser but it wasn't meant to be. Hats off to Yogi though, going to celtic park and not playing Mckay from the start is a bold move but it was the right decision. End of the day, I would rather lose narrowly 1-0 than get horsed 5-0 and 6-0

We were set up too negatively to start. Watkins did well but was on a hiding to nothing first half. Why was Vincent ( a natural central player) playing on the right and Watkins (a natural wide player) playing central striker? The second half was much better. Wrong tactics - we should have played two up front from the start. Hopefully Hughes will learn from this. Defence were strong, and even though we lost we should approach upcoming games with plenty of confidence. Deila said we were the best league team they'd faced, and he was right.

On the face of it a one nil loss at Parkhead is not bad but it seems clear from the commentary that a bit more belief in the attacking ability of the team and this was a game we could have won. Celtic are no great shakes at the back and ealier pressure might have produced a different outcome.

Officially no, however rumours of hot and cold balls have been known to do the rounds. And Scottish football sold it's soul to tv years ago.
