Ricky's report of the Celtic fiasco is now available.


Terry Butcher's post-match comments were as follows:
"I thought the first six minutes we were terrific and after that we were very poor. I'm just happy it was only 5-0 because it could have been a lot more. Celtic on that form were fantastic and if everybody allows them to play the way we did then they are going to run riot which they did. I am bitterly disappointed that we haven't put more of a show on so I've got the tape here and I will look at that, probably all night which is not good for me, but I have to do it and try to regroup. But I will be happy to put this in the bin. It's not been a good night for us at all. The only good thing was the referee's whistle so that was the only positive."


Just when the injury list appeared to be clearing up, Steven Hammell (thigh), William Kinniburgh (calf), Shaun Fagan (ribs) and Brian McLean (hamstring) all picked up knocks during the Celtic game.


Looking ahead to the Dunfermline game tomorrow, Terry Butcher is quoted as saying:
"We will regroup and look forward to Dunfermline on Saturday because that is a big match for us. We will move on I'm sure of that. Our main objective was to survive longer than 26 seconds at Parkhead and we did that quite well, which was better than Ibrox. But all joking aside we have to put in a lot of hard work. Our results and our season are not based on coming to Celtic Park and Ibrox and picking up points against the Old Firm. It's about the other teams we have to face. That's our league, that's our agenda and Dunfermline is a big one for us.

"The three games in a week are testing and trying times for any squad, let alone one like ourselves. When you've got the Old Firm for the first two it's very difficult. But we have to get on with it and we will do."
