Very disappointed to see a bottle thrown on to the pitch. Utter madness.

Simply outplayed by much better players , it’s not rocket science at this level , this team spent a fortune to top up the very good players they already had , We have players on frees and on their last legs , we can expect no more or no less . When this team breaks up as it surely looks like it will , we should build it around Hagi .

Fucking idiot, I hope he is found and banned from attending Ibrox!.

Agreed Ian - to come through the qualifiers, 2nd on what was a CL quality group and then to beat Braga home and away. Fantastic achievement in Europe this season.

Well beaten by a far superior team.

Polster cost us the 3rd goal and gave it away needlessly a few times. Hardly covered himself in glory when he came on. Tavernier didn’t do much wrong tonight, at least defensively. And offensively didn’t get much of a chance. But some just have this want to throw him under the bus when it is unnecessary.

Not sure how they can claim it though... surely would need to be mathematically impossible to be caught before that was even considered.

Agreed. Yes, some/most didn't do themselves justice tonight but, over the piece, they didn't let us down. We really need someone to lift their heads. We still see glimpses but confidence has gone. Someone needs to fix this.

Morelos was again off form in key areas but no-one can question his effort. Some of his link play from deeper areas was good as well. As for Kent, well he certainly looked for the ball but he didn't show anywhere enough quality on it so I'm not sure how we can differentiate between him and others. However, like I say there's no point going through everyone, let's take the positives from the game and move to Sunday.

Simple as that. We should be proud of the teams performances in Europe.

Fair result. Pass marks for Kamberi, Hagi, Kent. Deep negatives for Davis, Aribo, Morelos. The rest merely ineffective. Season over, some highs, too many lows. Too many quitters, not enough warriors. Let’s hope we all survive to see a better Rangers next season.

I don't think many fans really believed we would win this match/tie! different class of quality are Leverkusen

Jack is head and shoulders above the rest of our midfield. The sooner he’s made captain and we build a new midfield around him the better.

Mark my words, right here; if they win on Sunday they will do everything they can to claim the title. I also wonder why we are waiting until Monday for the ban to take effect? What's wrong with tomorrow? However, if we win on Sunday it makes it very difficult for them to claim it as we can show we were still in it for the winning! Therefore, we win on Sunday, the season is canx, they go into a meltdown the lines of which we have never seen and the worldwide Masonic COVIC-19 conspiracy has been successful....WATP! Although, I was enjoying Europe?

Best just to cancel the whole season and start again next season if this virus is gone

Tempted to start waffling on about much needed time on the training pitch. The truth is that I'm just hoping for an arrangement that preserves sporting integrity while maximizing distress for Celtic supporters.

And what about the bottom end? Hearts and Hamilton declared relegated within a few points of those above and 8 games remaining?

The way we played in the past few matches behind closed doors and no televised transmission would be a God send

It is ludicrous that they are doing so and being allowed to,but that's football for you. As much as I have paid my ticket I have decided to watch it at home because traveling like sardines on the subway puts me too close to other people and having had pneumonia last year and suffer from diabetes type two I would rather err on the safe side as I am 70 in a couple of months.

I actually thought Kamara did well in spells and was one of the better performers when we came back into it.

Not just about the title though. Relegation issues too if fixtures are suspended should hertz get relegated? fun ‘n’ games await.hope our board are up for this

Bet you there was more than one with bottles in the area it came from but only one idiotic enough to throw his,ah well punishment next season no doubt.

Correct, no point in slagging any of the players tonight as they have done us proud in Europe.

There is no question the highlight of our season has been our European run, I thought Braga would have put us out so that was an extra bonus, IMO.

How does Kent get a pass mark? ?

It’s just my opinion. I think he’s twice the player Kent is and showed it when he came on.

Kamara looks like Iniesta at the moment.

Just not good enough I'm afraid. It's OK standing off so-called better teams but, we're at home which is supposed to be an advantage so surely the press could be a bit more organised and the players at least show some aggression. No issue with keeping things tight initially but we have to open up at some point in the tie, so we're as well doing it with 45,000+ fans behind us. Instead, we're too soft in the tackle and losing the ball far too easily when we do win it, usually because we're taking far, far too long to pass meaning players have already made runs elsewhere. That doesn't help the fans (who tried their best by the way) create any sort of atmosphere like the manager spoke of pre-match. Should (hopefully) be better in the second half as I can't see Gerrard settling for this meek sh!te now we're 0-1 down.

You can tell that this is a Champions League level side. Easily the best side we’ve played this season.

I hate to be "that guy" but it's just a glorified friendly tonight. Strange feel about it?

And there must be no season extension just like 2008.....after all we’ve booked a Japanese end of season tour ???? That ok with you Mr Liewell ? ????

Just returned from Mallorca, surprised our next two home games are going ahead. Last week, Real Mallorca won away, first time in several months. This Sunday's home game is against Barca, beginning of the week, all comment based on Mallorca charging 140 Euros for a ticket. Lots of regulars unable to obtain or pay such a charge. Yesterday, the match was officially postponed because of coronavirus.

If recent form is anything to go by it's hard to justify starting Morelos. He's slowed up a lot and pace (or lack of it) will be important. I'd also rather see Kamara starting than Davis.

This is great news for the club. One of the best in many a year. Elfideldo will have seen more of him than I but I have seen Leon off and on since he was about 8 when my own kid played against him just prior to him signing for the club (was previously at Barrhead BC). Very humble young man with great desire, great physique and has a very bright future in the game in my opinion. Kevin Thomson told me last year that Leon "has everything to make it to the top of the game". Had the pleasure to speak to him for a few minutes when he trained with Kevin in January along with my son. I also heard, from a very good source, that Man U said Leon was "the best of his age group in the whole of Europe". Here's hoping we see him continue to be involved around the senior team and, hopefully, make an appearance or two before the season is out. Signed till 2022

That depends on who you're comparing up with and your definition of 'big'. We currently compare poorly with Celtic who have 3 or 4 first team regulars who came through their youths. Teams like Motherwell, Hamilton, Hearts and Aberdeen have a higher success rate, albeit there is less pressure and expectation on players there. Our spell in the lower leagues was a chance to build something but our ownership at the time wasn't good and the opportunity was wasted, it seems like we've started again in the last couple of years so we'll see what the next couple of years brings.

Right there is the saddest statement I think I have ever heard about Rangers.

While I think they'll edge it over the two legs, it'll be closer that it seems. They're a counter-pressing and counter-attacking side; they do well when teams open up, but they do concede a lot of goals. We're better when we defend in a deep block and counter, which is where most of our European goals are from.

It appears ever more likely football seasons may be cancelled all across Europe. The way I see it that means little to Rangers financially as the bulk of the domestic league gate money is in the form of season tickets, banked long ago. Out of the Scottish cup so no revenue to be lost there. Already made around £18 million in Europe so did very nicely on that front. As for the rest yahoos aside I can see that it may indeed have dire financial consequences for them. But all I can feel on that is boo hoo. We all know what the response was when Rangers had financial issues and it wasn't sympathetic. On the contrary it was hilarity and glee. Which has in fact continued even to the present where there are still constant wishes for a Rangers financial collapse. For that reason I can't find a shred of sympathy for them. Who is skint now and who is laughing now.

The more this develops the more certain I am that this season, both domestically and internationally, will not be finished. All it will take is a couple of players to have symptoms and they have to self-isolate, forcing those matches to be postponed. The backlog and lack of catch up dates will force all competitions to be abandoned. There is no way sport should be proceeding with these athletes, together with staff, officials, their families, all being put at risk just to fulfill a fixture. If some sides are weakened, for the sake of sporting integrity, the 2019-20 season has to be abandoned with no champions, relegation, playoffs etc. We rip this season up and start again when it is safe to do so in the second half of 2020. Sport is not more important than life, especially when we are trailing in the league and out the cup. Cheerio to 9IAR......

There's no doubt you're making the right decision. ?

In football and financial terms, the above gives me pleasure...

No Bill!..... Sorry but the season should be null and void. It's the only logical solution as nobody can predict the future. The fact that Timmy would be in a meltdown would be box office! Also, the idea there would be pressure on social services, the likes of which we have never seen, would be a wonderful added bonus???
