    I don't know if this is how he sets them up now, but Rangers have had no sideways passes around all. Also a lot of going long from the back and no backwards play. Have I missed something and RM has left already?

    Still no shot in this match. Scottish football is the absolute pits.

    That said it's been very watchable.

    My take away from this half is that Scottish club football is in a devastatingly poor state.

    Ok it hasn't been particularly good overall for a long long time, but this looks a lower standard than the Championship and it is the absolute elite of what it has to offer.

    A long way from Celtic being able to mug off Barcelona, or either of the Old Firm being able to reach the Europa League final.

    He's basically treating Celtic like he treated Leeds with us in the championship.

    And they're the best team in Scotland by a country mile.

    0 shots on target so far for Rangers, and he’ll be fuming they lost possession, but a point keeps him there I think.

    Keeps him safe but doesn't really repair his reputation with the fans either.

    He'll probably be happy with a point but given how poor Celtic were it's a bit of a missed opportunity really.

    Well, if I'm being kind, that was rather underwhelming.
