Over the piece, both today and over the season, we have to accept we have not been quite good enough. The problem is up front, a combination of poor delivery and poor striking. Look at our total goals scored. I think we need to see this season as building towards possibly being top six. Too negative at times, too inconsistent at times, but in terms of where we finish the season still plenty to work for and maybe with more positivity, more goals and more attacking play

Not going to make it as things stand. If that happens it will be the draws in March at home, not this game that means we miss out

Insipid display after 10 minutes with sloppy passing and little industry making it very comfortable for Celtic all night. They had one good move which ended up in back of net before the penalty and then we just lost the plot. Disappointing night all round. McGrath getting injured summed it up. Let’s move on

Good effort, especially after red card. Hope springs eternal to win three games in a row at this level

Alnwick sent off ... disaster

Game a bit flat after last two glorious outings. We are dominating a bit more and looking good going forward. Biggest problem is diabolical commentary. Compared to most of the other feeds in this league, ours is awful

Setting aside the insipid performance by Celtic throughout as you can only play the team in front of you, it was a joy to watch a St Mirren team set tactically to have a go and put pressure on the Old Firm on their own turf. Fantastic follow-up to Wednesday and full credit to team and Goodwin for attitude, commitment and two great goals

Great goal puts icing on the cake. Disciplined and entertaining performance everyone played their part. What a difference from Sunday and the last month in the league. More of this please

That was some goal by united player. Bit on the back foot this half after dominating first. Need to make sure we don’t withdraw to deep. Keep pressing them

The second half was a major improvement on the first but we really don’t look like scoring. We have scored so few goals this season for a reason. We are better with two up front, no doubt, and there is not much between most of the teams in this league as demonstrated again, by too many hopeful high balls, limited real inspiration and l do struggle at times with Goodwin lineups. Too worried about losing, but it isn’t working

That’s been brutal to watch. Hoped not being a league game we might lift ourselves from recent rut we have got ourselves into. We’ve got nothing to lose in second half need to go for it and l suspect change personnel and set up or we go out meekly

I agree with most of the sentiments about recent performances. We have brought in two strikers but we are crying out for a midfield that can supply in the final third. We are ending up with players on the park whose attributes are too similar and as a result we are keeping possession without a cutting edge. Disappointing as felt we were heading in right direction up until the quarter final was finished

Never a penalty... thanks referee a get out of jail for another below par performance. Haven’t played great last 5 games in my view. If we can emerge with 5 points from these games that would be a good return. But we need to improve. Obviously will still take a sneaky win

Really not in this game today

Motherwell dominating now and looking the likelier. We seem to lack a game plan... and they’ve scored
