HIGHLAND TOFFEE – N/A – Luke who’s missing – a bewildering midweek sacrifice as the boss hysterically attempted to substitute anybody who glanced his way after the hour mark in order to take attention off his expensive centre-half signing who was starting wildfires. Sadly underused today but we’ll see a lot more of him in the months ahead.
OF JUSTICE – N/A – He’s on! Not from the off – surprisingly… – but late for Greggs, to bring insurance against direct high balls. Had a comfortable quarter-hour.
SAINT BERNARDO – 6/10 – Shored up the middle well, sitting as a more defensive ploy to allow Kuhn extra room to cut in and cut them up.
DUNCAN IDAHO – N/A – A lot to prove and in his few minutes managed to show sprightly ability beyond previous starts, linking well, led a great 50-yard break that deserved a goal.

The wee mushroom seems to have his mind on somewhere else; never seen him miss so many as he’s done the last few games. Hopefully they get back to normal after hitting that wall.
Nonsense, great for 30 minutes and as mentioned could have been out of sight, but after that we fell to pieces under the high press. The inability to play through the press and lack of bottle were evidenced when McGregor chooses to sky the ball into the air, rather than bring it down unchallenged, then doing the exact same thing 30 seconds later, under the same circumstances. Granted we could still have taken one of quite a few chances, but they could’ve also taken one of their few, again. I obviously watched a different game from most, with quite a few lauding a great performance, yeah for the first 30 minutes, after that it was just like the Dundee game, for the same reasons, inability to cope with a high press.
YB Bern must be licking their lips!!.
