This is very different to playing well and we need to add that. I think trying to play pretty football is not really the recipe at the moment. We need to compete from first to last and I'm not saying that we will deliberately go out not to play attractive football, I've always been one who feels you should be entertaining fans. But, results are paramount and I will hope to find the mix to combine the two attractive play in the quest to get the required results, two factors that don't normally go hand in hand. As for Hearts, they have had a couple of difficult weeks and Dunfermline are also having a hard time lately.
Teams go on long runs of defeats as much as they do with runs of wins.
It happens to all the teams apart from the Old Firm, and possibly Hibs, and is something we will need to limit. Elsewhere, Celtic maybe surprised a few people with the 1-0 win over Rosenborg. The Norweigian side deserved respect and played well again on Wednesday night. They had spells of superiority but overall Celtic deserved the win. Again, it was a set-piece that gave Martin O'Neill's side victory, but you have to say the Rosenborg defending was very poor.
