St Johnstone Lack of belief

Sometimes things happen that inspire performances and sometimes they conspire against you. Killie did Saints no favours by scoring a late winner against Celtic. The reaction of the Rangers support to the news as we approached the Ibrox turnstiles would be replicated in the home dressing room. It seemed to play on the minds of the Saints players.

Saints will now face a very motivated Celtic tonight. Good results against the Old Firm have come from being well organised and playing very well. Saints had too many players who were well short of their best at Ibrox. In spells, they played well and created some good chances. A lack of belief when it came to both defending and taking chances was our downfall.
