If I'm being honest about yesterday, I thought we were fantastic in the last 15 minutes of the game, not just with the two goals but in our overall play. The pace that we played at, the urgency we showed to close Celtic down and the physical side of the game was all there to see. I don't think there's another team in Scotland who could have coped with how we played during that period and of course coming back from 2-0 down against the best team in the country is very impressive in itself.
However the rest of the match was disappointing from my point of view, I thought we were too passive in large spells and didn't really get close enough to Celtic for my liking. I thought we sat too deep and allowed them to take control of the ball too often. This was also the thoughts of Neil Lennon in his post match interview so there must be some truth in it.
I think it says a lot about how this club has grown over the last couple of years that we can come away from a match against a team that's gone almost 70 domestic games unbeaten and will undoubtedly win the league at a canter again this year, get a 2-2 draw against them after being 2-0 down with 15 minutes left and be left somewhat disappointed.
3 and a half years ago we could have only dreamed about that sort of scenario. We are definitely a club that's well and truly on the up and long may it continue.
