I think it's a little unfair to overly criticise Mixu for the games vs the old firm.

Firstly, 3 of the losses are away from home. Our away record in general has been dire for years. Mixu's home record is 2 draws(close games which we could have won) and 1 loss (against Celtic where we dominated the first half and shoul dhave been ahead).

Collins (last season) and Mowbray had far better players, inparticular in midfield. We are struggling to score vs the old firm now but we used to score more goals becasue we had players like Riordan, O'Conner, Killen, Sproule and Brown. Basically we now have Fletcher.

The record versus the old firm is also not the most important thing in our season, however annoying losing to them regularly is. It's beating teams that we are better than which is important. In this regard, under Mixu we have won every home game agaisnt a non-old firm team, every single one.
