If your defence is as bad as you seem tae think it is why would teams just sit back, surely they would be going for it as they' got tae be confident o' scoring against ye

Our defence is fine except when our full backs go on the offensive and we have no one to cover for when they counter. The two centre backs are always left with one striker and a quick winger breaking at speed. That 2v2 is what causes the problems.

Besides, our style of play - possession, slow build up, full backs high up the pitch - basically forces our opponents to funnel back and sit deep. They have no other option. If they come out and press high to actually try and get possession in midfield, they can't keep that up all game and Rangers punish them late on as they tire.

And of course, if Hibs get the first goal, it even further encourages them to park the bus and preserve their advantage. It's only natural.

The way we set ourselves up - with the players we have - leaves us fatally flawed defensively, I fear.

An open game might just suit us better, space for McKay and Oduwa/Waghorn to run past defenders, not having to thread a pass through 8 players just to be in a position to see their goal. No, it's not a surprise teams don't play an open game against us.
