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

Pressure onErwin to deliver with two new strikers coming our way. Goodwin says Brophy will definitely get on

Luck shines on us. Questionable goal but thanks anyway. Poor performance and with other results that late equaliser is important. We are not as good as some people think and we see this regularly. However there is no doubt mid table is achievable given the quality of other teams but we need to raise and maintain our stsndards

Not coping with surface, Ethan in particular. Refereeing doing us no favours either. Most of team not got right boots on maybe, a real struggle

You cannot lose 3 points only win them 😷😷 unless you’re docked them

Nothing really lost today was a free shot. Unlucky with first goal, second Christmas present killed the game for us. Rangers after that sat back and soaked up pressure. We played okay but once again toothless, albeit against best defence in league. I agree other games much more important but a bit disappointed we didn’t make more of the game as before they scored we were matching them

Thought we did really well at working ball left to right especially against nine men, without the quality last ball etc. Morias is so annoying does all the hard work then messes up. However got the goals required. A bit concerned in first half as County dominated us though that might be partly down to new manager bounce and lousy weather. Overall great result at difficult venue

Don’t think we have done enough tonight . Plenty endeavour but Hibs are superior and much more Dangerous in attack. Still not good enough up front to convert possession into goals. Think final ball could have been better. Not terrible though, more a case of pedestrian

Give them their due. Great turnaround after struggling throughout the gane

Very poor second half. Not creating anything really against ten men. Back to reality. Then Erwin scores... come on 😄😄😄

Fake saints very well organised and we look stumped to unlock them. Too many loose balls even with extra man. Need to rejig and shake off Wednesday hangover

A night when you realise why you love a Soddy team. Just doesn’t get any sweeter. What a second half after getting the run around in the first without them really breaking through. Rode our luck at times but we are so much better than two months ago

Disappointed. However we must note club accepted they broke protocol whilst the Celtic and Aberdeen incidents were player centred. Do feel though punishments should have been same for all as it would have left clubs and players in no doubt what would happen. Unfair yes but at least the unfairness would have been ‘fairly’ meted out. Just have to get on with it. Might even be motivational 😷😷🤣🤣☹️☹️

4 and 2 maybe 1 for away. Last two a bit honking

Bummer. Free Scotland game on Thursday will have to do then

What’s the score for this game on St Mirren TV? Do season ticket holders need to pay for cup games?

Playing well. However Achilles heel still not creating clear cut chances despite dominance

Not sure what to expect today. Good if it is not defenders out but our play so far this season does not augur well for future. This is when saints typically turn in a decent performance though and win. I am concerned though that we cannot afford to spend lengthy periods propping up this league as the way things are going this season will not be completed and remember last season and Hearts

At the beginning of the season l was impressed by our defence. What has gone wrong?

Have we better players? Probably. Are we the better team? Probably not. Will we deserve to win this? Probably not. What’s the difference? McCall is an underrated and very experienced coach and it shows in his teams. However a wins a win if we hold on and win
