At this stage of the season any win should be welcomed but there was little to enthuse over or get excited about in the 3-0 win over Gretna.
All three strikers scored, Scott McDonald, Jan Vennegoor of Hesselink and Georgios Samaras but that was about as good as it gets.
Another central midfield pairing was tried, Scott Brown and Barry Robson, but like the previous combinations they did little in the way of presenting an attacking threat to back up Shunsuke Nakamura.
The need to have midfielders bursting into the box is so obvious as teams double up on our wide players and concentrate on clearing the crosses into the box.
A plan B would be fantastic.

Young Celts lose out to Napoli as Luca Santonocito is named player-of-the-tournament
Napoli ended Celtic's hopes at the Scopigno Youth Tournament in Rieti outside Rome this morning.
Goals in each half proved too much for the Celtic u17 side in an evenly contested match.
Consolation came in the award of player-of-the-tournament which was picked up by midfielder Luca Santonocito, our very own Italian.

Young hoops reach semi-finals in Rome.
It's not been a great week, there's an understatment, but today in Rome the Celtic u-17's drew 1-1 with hosts Rieti to reach the semi finals of the Scopigno Memorial trophy.
On Thursday goals from Grant Gallagher, James Forrest, Tomislav Pavlov, Luca Santonocito and a trialist gave Celtic a convincing 5-0 win over Viterbese.
At 10am on Saturday Celtic will face Napoli with fingers crossed for the final scheduled for 5pm on Saturday with the other semi between Cagliari and Roma.
I'll keep you posted with hopefully good news from my man in the Vatican Emerald CSC

Depressing times as the season draws to an early conclusion.
The end of the season almost arrived last night.
Going out of the Scottish Cup was painful enough but another flat performance was far more concerning.
A flicker of hope in the games against Kilmarnock, Aberdeen and Hearts was followed up by late goals saving the day at St Mirren and Aberdeen.
It will take a miracle to avoid defeat at Ibrox with the SPL going in the same direction as the CIS and Scottish Cups.
