Meant to post about the second goal there on Friday - an almost carbon-copy of McCulloch being caught out of position for that goal against Hearts, as discussed on here.
He deserts his centre defence to try (and fail) to nip in for an interception and never recovers his position afterwards, allowing a nicely floated ball clear into the path of the striker - you know, the one he was supposed to be marking - for an unchallenged shot at goal.

It's these sort of recurring mistakes which have killed our season, and McCoist's insistence on sticking by his pals - even when they are so clearly not up to the job - that have turned the crowds against him.
