SUBS –
KENNY JOHNNY – N/A – The whippet thrown on in the futile hope of causing them some whiplash but also found himself rebuked by their hardcore backline and dropping deeper to see any action.

HIGHLAND TOFFEE – 5/10 – Luke, a new boss to impress. And might’ve got a Luke in for future selection, if not by default, with his keen involvement, but which unfortunately didn’t lead to much.
Frankly, I thought your marks were
generous, to put it mildly. Trusty was good, yes, but totally exposed. Game should have been over in twenty minutes but, again, the finishing was dire. Feels like back to square one. And as for that child’s toy, the manager had, is that a joke?
You could see that Wilfried ‘s previous experience was with an under-14 Girl’s team ; so yesterday’s display by Celtic should have given him glorious bouts of ,” Deja- vue” where he could hark-back to days gone-by :-
Second-best in almost every challenge , Hearts won almost every second ball , no running off the ball , players like:- Hetate , Negran and Engels having no stomach for the conditions . Players pulling-out of the challenge making Devlin of Hearts look like a “World-class player” . Yes, Wilfried you were back to watching your under-14 girls .
I hope that I am wrong but I can’t help but think that the chant by Christmas may be , ” Nancy , Nancy get to F*** ” and take your toy Tactics-board with you . Again , I hope I am wrong and yesterday’s conditions were more suited to ” Hammer-throwers ” than football players . Let’s hope on Thursday he puts men on the field rather than 14 year -old girls .
