I'm so proud that we made the final, but gutted that we didn't rise to the occasion. Frankfurt were the better team but we didn't seem to be able to match the standards we had shown in previous rounds. Let's get the Scottish cup on Saturday, refresh the squad and go again. C'mon the Gers.

Yes I’m gutted I didn’t sleep much last night having been ahead then pushing them all the way and being the better team towards the end, it was gut wrenching to loose it on Pens but what a journey we were on, I’ll remember those nights at Ibrox under the lights for ever especially the Semi the place was rocking, I’ve had a season ticket for over 35 years and have never heard it like that, but it’s over now the team did us proud so on to Sat another huge game and it’s going to be very hard players must be shattered not just physically but emotionally as we’ll need to freshen the team up, we need to recruit well in the summer to challenge for the title but that’s for another day but remember it’s better to have reached the final snd lost than to not reach it at all.

On a Budget Spend comparison, we did well to get as far as we did, Eintracht spent more on 1 player than we spent on our whole team.

We didn't play anything near the heights of Leipzig or other previous games in Europe this year but honestly the conditions were tough last night. It was absolutely boiling all day and night. definitely impacted us (and probably Frankfurt too) . I'm disappointed we couldn't reach the same levels as before but it was not really unexpected given the heat.

He went with same as Leipzig but that performance was all about pressing and energy, very hard to do that in the tough heat yesterday, resulted in us going direct quite more than previously but we didn't have the right players on the park for that to be effective either. I really wonder how fit Roofe actually was? He got more joy in 3 minutes than Wright or Sakala did the whole time they were on the park, might have given him the last half hour or even just the whole of Extra time to see if he could have been a better focal point for our attack.

I'd be worried about anyone who played the full 120 mins for Saturday, physically those conditions last night will have taken absolutely loads out of them.
