Like it or not there is a symbiotic relationship between the clubs which would be fractured in one or the other went out of business. The OF derby was once listed by 4-4-2 magazine as the 3rd most fierce in the world after Real-Barca and River-Independiente. I see this as a great marketing opportunity; we are not a fan-owned club (yet) - we are a commercial business.

Quite. But maybe because certain companies in this country finance their weaponry?

What I was getting at was the part played by Celtic's poor performances in the Conf. League - that couldn't have helped.

Aye and we know whose fault that is.

And there are probably some on here who still think we cannot win the league!

And me. I'm in tears.

BT Sport has gone down. What the hell is going on?

Yeh but are we bad enough to lose 3 goals at home? Surely not?

It's just a matter of time before AI takes it over completely and you can't argue with a machine.

I don't think so..automatic entry thanks to the seeding which we alone secured. We can still win the league anyway even if Keltic win today.

Slight knock,nothing serious.

Delighted with that team, probably the strongest we could field barring Ramsey. Getting Helander a game is a welcome bonus.

MoM 1) VAR 2) Xanagu or whatever his name is... For us Ryan Jack. Der Berliner will no doubt recall an under-rated German international called Dieter Eilts. Jack reminds me of him: interventions from deep, short passes out of defence. Truly we have no one like him.

Not with you there?

Right now I'm crying - with happiness. Why oh why didn't we play like this v the Keltic?

That's the worry; we needed Helander. Good though that Jack is playing in front of the back four.

I thought I was in a minority for hating tattoos but seemingly not. I must be more normal than I thought!

Totally agree. I hate tattoos on men or women.

Good to see an outbreak of sanity on this thread. At times last Wednesday you would have thought we had just lost the league. Folk wanting GVB sacked, heavens above. We've every chance of clawing back that one point deficit.

Yes, and their goal difference is now a worry too. We really need a three goal margin today.

Only one I might argue with there would be Diallo. We saw on Wednesday why he's still firmly in the 'potential' category; doesn't chase back, looked lost and all his touches seem to be in a very narrow corner of the right side. Kent may off-form but he still works for the team and can tuck in as he was wont to do under SG.

Some nonsense being spoken on here about the league being over. A one point deficit is nothing at this stage. A few tweaks and we can overcome them at Ibrox. But I fear their squad depth is maybe better than ours.

Agree with all of those especially no. 5: Jack and Ramsey gives us a whole new level.

Which is why I often thought it would be a good idea to bring in a referee from outside. Do you think someone like Pier Luigi Colina would stand for that nonsense?

You must have seen more evidence than I have seen reported. Surely something posted on social media is suspect by its very nature? It could be fabricated, doctored, whatever.
