Spot on Mick, this was a very shrewd performance from Celtic. I was actually dreading the game due to the over confidence within our support, we're not a good enough side to take any Celtic team lightly. I'm Walter Smith's biggest fan but today I thought he got the shape of the team wrong. We got exactly what we deserved - nothing.
Rocket do you not think when either side is totally written off they tend to win the old firm game? All week all the Celtic fans including me had Celtic beat. All week i was getting we will take 6 off you on Sunday from the bears in work. It was at that moment i sensed a shock was on. Im not here to boast cos i know to well the feeling of defeat in these games. I didnt cheer either goal and i cried at full time thats how much it meant. You know the feeling Rocket not much can beat it. I thought Celtic played a Rangers type game and it worked. I also thought Celtic hit big Lee anytime they could he didnt hit any Celtic player all game it was a case of you get him before he gets you. Best game Celtic have played since 27th Dec 2008 at Ibrox i could not fault a single player. I thought Samaras had his finest moment in the mother of all places. Not many will give Weir and Bougherra a game like he did today. You couldnt fault any Rangers player either other than McGregor i felt he took a huge chance for the first goal. Long way to go for me this title race is 50/50.
Correct JB I hated the way Celtic were being written off and they used that to their advantage. All week I've been telling everyone I thought Celtic would win this one though I tipped a Rangers victory on here as I didn't want to break from the ranks. When Naismith was ruled out I felt that was a major blow and I'm not offering that as an excuse as Celtic had vital players missing also. Celtic won most of the personal battles and I don't recall Forster having a save to make. Having said that McGregor didn't really have a save to make either apart from Samaras in the 90th but he was to blame for the first without a doubt. Still, we now have a genuine title race which wouldn't have been the case had Rangers won. For what it's worth I'm still tipping Rangers to make it 3!AR.
What a pile of ****ing **** that was from Rangers. FFS, talk about saving your worst performance of the season for an O.F game Walter has to take the flak for this, set the team out all wrong. If he's going to pump long balls up top, then why wasn't Beattie starting upfront with Miller? Miller isn't going to win **** all in the air against their centre halfs I don't think one Rangers player deserved pass marks today, especially Bougherra. Think he's starting to believe the hype and that was a lazy ****ing tackle on Samaras. Didn't think I'd ever say this about an O.F game at Ibrox, but Celtic wanted it FAR more today and that's what really pisses me off. That should NEVER happen at home. Anyway, fair play to the Celtic lads, you deserved it, no question about that. Am going to carry on boozing and forget about it.
Rangers 4/5 Celtic Evens No suprises there id say Rangers are still the slight favourites as they have the 2 games in hand but this one can go either way.
can't remember the last time an spl team came to Ibrox and worked so hard especially in the second half, Celtic chased down everything!!! can't help think that if big Kyle was upfront from the start with Miller it would have been a different story, Celtic's captain was Rangers best player!!! 4-5-1 anti-football, not the Celtic way!! oh ah up the Ra, ovbviously only the minority!! and lastly.............................................COVONIA!!!
Lennon's learned how to play Rangers...match 'em up! In terms of the songs/banners/flags - both sets of supporters were the exact same Benny...no need for the blinkers. In terms of the coughing...who knows, some folk can be truely pathetic. Maybe they thought it was funny or maybe it was genuine or a mix of both. I wouldn't get to hung about about it tho - the innocent dead are nothing to point score on!
