Aye fair play to him, made us all look like the cretins we are in the last few months. That left hand side with him and Hickey was superb today. Everything we did well came down that side.

I think he's the only player in the squad that gets me a bit excited when he gets the ball.

If we can get someone to use on the right as a similar outlet next season we might become more of a threat in front of goal - however with Levein at the helm that won't happen.

Levein would never play two forward thinking wingers in the same team, if he has a winger on the left he'll always play a centre mid on the right because he's a fucking shitebag.

He's decent if your aim is 5th or 6th.

1 goal and 2 assists isn't enough.

Totally agree, but I’d also argue that some of the fizzed crosses he puts in, would be tucked away by decent strikers.

Had a couple yesterday that Maclean was nowhere near and Wighton looked like he deliberately tried to avoid them. Warnock

Aye it can't be easy with a team of goal virgins. Walker scored 12 a few seasons back though, that is the standard we need.

I thought exactly that when some of the deliveries came in. Someone like Zeefuik would have gotten on the end of at least one and gotten on target.

Shame he’s probably unfit to ever play professionally again mind.

I always laugh at fans who are so critical of players like Mulraney, Templeton, Suso etc "one trick pony" and all this garbage, he gets on the ball and tries to do something positive, won't always happen but at least they try to do something positive.

Walker and Mulraney are two different wingers.

Walker played centrally a lot and when he played on the wing he looked to cut inside all the time and get the shot off.

Mulraneys first instinct is to hit the by line and I love that. He’s doing it well, it’s not really his fault the team don’t commit bodies into the box as the balls he put in are very dangerous. It’s been ages since we’ve had a winger like that, IMO in this current form he’s good enough to be a starting name on the team sheet every week.

We’ve all been wanting wingers who hit the byline for years, and now we have one we want something else. Warnock

He had one cross yesterday that managed to pick out a single Celtic defender when there were three Hearts players challenging for the ball 5 yards out, but what can you do. May Bee

I’d be more concerned at the fact that we have no backup out wide at all.

We'll be 6th again next season if Mulraney is the first name on the team sheet. Maybe even lower. He's OK but we need better from creative players.

I just think there’s a lot of areas that need prioritised before looking to strengthen on Mulraney.

He beats his man and gets the ball into the box 80% of the time, he was doing this with the support of a 16 yo who has played in about 3 senior games too.

I just don’t know if we’re ever going to be attack minded enough to benefit of a winger who bombs forward as no one else has the urgency that he does just now. Playing through the wings was a lot better yesterday, I know we didn’t win and didn’t offer much going forward but I enjoyed watching us 10x more yesterday trying to play football (most of the time) and failing than some of the other shite we’ve seen at tynie this season.

My biggest frustration is the CB have clearly been told take no risks and play back to the keeper. A few times a hertz player would flick it past the Celtic player, create a lot of space, panic and pass it back to Berra who passes it back to bobby who kicks it up the park for a 50/50 aerial challenge. We done this a good few times too many, it wouldn’t have bothered me if we hadn’t been doing it all season. So many times we reverted to type and I think those were the spells we struggled to touch the ball.

We'll be sixth because Levein is a negative shitebag, not because of Mulraney.

I believe mulraney will go on to big things.

Reminds me of when AP refused to call Zaliukas by his name years after he was performing very well.

Has gone from joke figure to an important part of the team. 

How much of that is his improvement and how much Hearts have declined to make that so is up for debate.
