    Celtic aren't dominating yet but you can see how they are able to just walk through Rangers defence already.

    Kind of the perfect game for him, because the nature of it is such that they won’t be able to play his stupid brand of football.

    The old firm is often worth watching imo.

    Suspect you'll be disappointed today.

    Celtic look pretty poor in themselves, we have seen this script in the PL though where Saints would start brightly but a catastrophic error can and will occur at any point to completely derail the game.

    Just came here to say the same. For me, the offside line should be based on where the players feet are. I know in a situation like that it may be difficult but what happened to giving the attacker the benefit of the doubt. It just fuels the argument that they’re forensically looking to disallow goals.

    That was clearly offside TBF. Could see it from one replay.

    Bodgers has Celtic set up all wrong in attack, lobbing speculative long balls and crosses at an RM defence?

    If you keep it on the ground and press you WILL score.

    It's more for me that it just kills moments and makes the game less organic.

    Not our problem anyway.

    I can't see how it should be anything other than where your feet are as at any point in a person's stride / change in direction / different running speeds you could be leaning all different ways in relation to each other

    Yeah they seem a bit hasty to release the ball when they get in a promising area because they're not getting there much. Lacking a bit of composure.

    Rangers playing well to be fair.

    Didn’t look like he was actually standing in an offside position. Clearly he was offside given the “any part of the body that can score” rule but I’d argue that his feet weren’t. It would just be so much easier and clearer if the rule was applied to where your feet were.
