Overall I thought today was a teller on how well our passing style of play is coming on. The first half albeit being more even I felt that was due to the fact that both teams were set out very similar. I was very surprised in Kilmarnock today due to the fact they were not attacking as much and looked like they were set out for a draw. Greg Tansey would be my man of the match today - his passing was outstanding as ever. I really liked the way that we are playing more diagonal balls to the wings rather than just sticking to narrow and along the ground. Josh Meekings was fantastic today as was Marley Watkins and Aaron Doran. - Doran should be first team starter from now on. I was a little bit disappointed in Ryan Christie and felt at times he was playing himself in to trouble at times and could have supported Mckay a bit more. I felt sorry for Billy at times and felt he could have had someone beside him to get him a bit more service but there's not much he can do other than what he's doing at the moment. Well deserved break next week and then on to Partick Thistle which should provide a good test!

Just seen that Marlon Jackson was on trial at Eastleigh but it looks like he failed to win a contract so could very well be him.

I'm not overly convinced the trialist is Marlon Jackson. How not, is it cause i found him and you didn't Not at all I really don't care if you found him before I did. I am just not overly convinced that the picture in the courier is of Marlon Jackson.

I'm not overly convinced the trialist is Marlon Jackson.

There was suggestions on Twitter that Alex Nimley was training with Preston also so maybe it was the Nigerian boy that scored the hat trick vs Inverness City. I wonder if a loan deal is still possible but maybe not hence why we are looking at trialists.

We can sign free agents after the window is closed.

Wouldn't be surprised if he was back tracking because the bid got rejected.

Peterborough have had a bid rejected for both Mckay and Meekings (Pete O'Rourke Sky Sports)

It would have been Callum MacGregor before he went to Notts County. I'm not so sure how he would have fitted in because Him and Marley are quite similar.

As I understand it Marsella is still in employment with Hibs but allegedly on sick leave. Seemed strange for him to visit just for the craic considering what transpired last year.

I follow the West Ham chairman, am i joining west ham? I think there's a slight difference there... A 200k bid for McKay is going to get shot down faster than an Malaysian airlines flight over Ukraine.... no need to worry yet. (don't highlight that sentence if you are easily offended) As I said Peterborough recently received £5M so £200K won't be there only bid and I wouldn't be surprised if if they add future incentives too. Adrian Durham of Talksport said this today (Replying to the 200k Value)

The sky reporter Pete O'Rourke who broke the news about Fleetwood tweeted today about Peterbrough's interest. It's rumoured that they are bidding £200K. I'm not totally surprised that they are interested in Billy Mckay because they just sold their striker Britt Assombalonga for £5M Just to note, I seen on twitter that Billy Mckay is following the Peterborough chairman on Twitter.....

For a job? He's still employed at Hibs for their scouting.

Really enjoyed that today and not just because we defeated Celtic more the manner of our performance - best home performance under Yogi IMO. The passing today was a joy to watch purely due to the fact is was quick and effective. I really liked at times when we caught Celtic's defence out and Watkins and Mckay got the fast break. Marley Watkins was my MOTM today - superb! Play with that intensity next Saturday vs Killie and hopefully the result will take care of itself. Interesting to note, I noticed Steve Marsella sitting with the fans in the Main stand today - Scouting?

That team looks fine - but can Williams and Christie be dropped? Got to say, small squad we may have - until suspensions and injuries, we've got good options. I don't believe Celtic will play a 'weakend' side for a second. Granted they may rest one or two. I think we need to play our strongest/experienced side tomorrow. I think Williams and Christie would be good impact subs.

My team would be: Brill Raven Warren Meekings Shinnie Doran Draper Tansey Watkins Ross Mckay

Febian Brandy recently signed for Rotherham.

I'm most likely wrong but could the first one be Alex Nimley formerly of Manchester City (Released at the end of last season)

Last game he was the referee for our game was last April 0-0 with Aberdeen. Could've been worse, could've been Willie Collum

As I said I would like to know who the other trialists before judgement but given Gow's experience in the Scottish Premier and the fact he would most likely be a back up he wouldn't be risking too much for injury and gives us a different option up front.

Wouldn't mind seeing the names of the other strikers on trial but Alan Gow could be the safest option.

I was at the game this evening. One of the trialists was watching the game, not sure if the other guy with him was the other trialist or his Agent - probably the latter.

That's was the guy that I saw during the game. He is one of the trialists but not sure on his name. He was with another guy but not sure if he was his agent or is the other trialist.

Guys like Nick Ross, Danny Devine and Lewis Horner should get game time to keep match fitness. Regarding the trialists I reckon we'd only sign one of them (if sucessful) so I doubt we would see them playing together plus we don't usually play two up front.
