I only watched the highlights on the beeb, I though Gordon was our best player as they should have pumped us!!!

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz,,yawn!!, get over it ya muppets,it's time the SFA showed some balls and fine the feckin lot of you greetin faced,paranoid gimps

Glad to see Boyd get a good reception from the fans

Highlights,BBC1 22:45

Who was talking about his weight??,I was meaning he is a tall burly guy

'' Kyle,I'm a bluenose and will help you guys out,I'm part of the establishment so if this hurts sorry big man ''

You do remember the size of him Zappa??, I'm not sure he could manage a cartwheeel

Although WS is not every ones choice of manager you just can't ignore what he has done for Rangers FC especially this last year working under such circumstances the club are in. I know I am thankful to him and wouldn't have any other man in charge of us just now, he has held this club together in these hard times so well done Walter

It was an afternoon when hard graft and perseverance deservedly won the game for Gers - not the performance of match referee Dougie McDonald, as suggested by some. A draw had seemed to be on the cards for so long and it appeared Celtic's time wasting and the awful unsporting behaviour of Diomansy Kamara had worked in their favour. Some strong quotes there from this article,about time. Walter Smith masks,maybe we should get them for the cup final http://www.mask-arade.com/product_info.php?cPath=1019&products_id=6783

He's been off work with a very sore back

McFadden is out with a groin injury

I've been confident all season,regarding the better team between us and them,there's no doubt when we have all our players playing at their best we are actually a very good team, as December form showed what we are capable of,I think Rangers get too much criticism tbh.

Maybe you chunts should listen to what everybody keeps telling you, WHY DON'T YOU GO HOME.

THERE is consistent, and then there is Rangers this season. Even their Champions League campaign was impressively uniform ââ?¬â?? three comprehensive defeats at Ibrox, together with some closer-run things away from home. But in the domestic game, Walter Smith's side have been remorseless. Three 0-0 draws in their opening six league matches did not lead to wild excitement in the stands, but set the tone for a campaign which has been built so far on defensive solidity. ADVERTISEMENT They have now recorded six clean sheets in their last seven outings. Sunday's 1-0 victory over Celtic was a study in giving little away. They have conceded only eight goals in the league at home, and one fewer on their travels. How can Celtic even begin to contemplate eating away at a ten-point lead when the team at the top seem so resolute? The pursuers require a collapse on the part of Rangers. Sunday showed why this seems an even more fanciful notion than Celtic's claims of bias against their team this season. Though Rangers' season has been ignited by spells when they have excelled in front of goal, it is at the back where the champions have taken command of the league. Their strength in this department has told in clashes with Celtic ââ?¬â?? just as it did last season. Scott Brown's red card dominated the post-match discussions at Ibrox and obscured the central reason why Celtic were beaten. They did not do enough to win the match. Two shots on target ââ?¬â?? compared with 11 for Rangers ââ?¬â?? tells its own story, as does Celtic's tally of just two goals in three Old Firm fixtures this season. Madjid Bougherra was an influential performer on Sunday but was playing in his first Old Firm match of the campaign. His partner at centre-half, David Weir, has featured in all three and, on Sunday, in his 40th year, played his 36th club match of the season. There are not too many further places to look to understand where it has gone right for Rangers this season. On Sunday, against an admittedly far-from-fit Robbie Keane, Weir staged another masterclass in defending by employing one's wits. He was rarely extended and showed exactly why Smith was prompted to offer the defender another year's contract last year. Remarkably, whether or not he will be playing for Rangers next season seems to depend more on his own desire to continue travelling back and forth from his home in Cheshire. The Ibrox club, surely, will wish to retain his services. Weir, however, may wish to bow out on a high. It is not beyond the realms to imagine the player calling a halt to his career while captain of a treble-winning side, and reigning player of the year to boot. Intriguingly, the football writers' dinner in May, when their award is announced, takes place on the eve of Weir's 40th birthday. Even watching the centre-half warm-up on Sunday was instructive. Kenny McDowall, the first-team coach, tossed balls into the air for him, and the disgust with which Weir reacted following a less-than-firm connection signalled a man not content to simply trade on former glories. During the game itself Weir was involved in one comical moment in the Celtic box when, with the ball having surprisingly fallen at his feet, he swung one leg at it and missed. He then tripped over the ball with his other leg. But, although Celtic broke up-field from this moment of high farce, it was still Weir who somehow made it back to mop up. It was an inspirational performance from Weir, and while the likes of Allan McGregor, Keane and even referee Dougie McDonald stole the spotlight, it was the veteran defender who kept his head yet again. Even Smith showed he can get carried away after the winner from Maurice Edu with almost the last kick of the ball. Weir, at the end, took time to shake the hand of each Celtic opponent, despite the delirium of just a few moments earlier. Off the field as well as on it, Weir is influential. Steven Naismith has spoken of the skipper's banning of the word "treble" in and around the dressing room. Rangers are reaping the dividend of having this father figure on the pitch. It is in direct contrast with Celtic. A few weeks ago at St Johnstone, Celtic manager Tony Mowbray even wrapped a captain's band around Darren O'Dea's arm. The player had only just returned from a period in stir at Reading. Now Scott Brown is the leader of the gang. However harsh Brown's red card on Sunday, and in this observer's eyes it did appear a severe reaction from the referee, there is an upward movement of the Celtic midfielder's head into Kyle Lafferty's body as they tussle. It doesn't do for a skipper to be so lacking in judgment in a game that his side must win. It is fair to assume that Celtic's title challenge ended with his departure from the field. The cheering Rangers supporters sensed it too. The manner of their side's victory was an extra psychological blow for Celtic, who were edging ever closer to shutting out Rangers for the first time this season. It would have been a small "victory", particularly since a 0-0 draw would only have maintained the status quo. Mowbray conceded later that the title can only be lost now by Rangers. It is hard to credit that a team whose progress during this campaign has been pinned to resoluteness will begin throwing things away now. http://sport.scotsman.com/sport/Rangers39-strength-is-built-from.6114305.jp

CELTIC'S bitter feud with the SFA took a fresh twist last night when it emerged the Parkhead club could be dragged into the Hampden dock for their latest attack on a referee. An official club statement which appeared to call into question the impartiality of big-match whistler Dougie McDonald was released on the internet hours after Tony Mowbray's side went down to a 1-0 defeat in the Old Firm derby at Ibrox. The explosive wording of the statement - which revealed Celtic's intention to appeal against Scott Brown's red card - has angered the game's hierarchy and the matter was yesterday referred to the General Purposes Committee who will now convene to decide whether or not to take action. But already it has poured fresh fuel on what was a combustible situation between the game's hierarchy and the powers that be at Celtic Park. The full Celtic statement read: "Celtic will appeal the red card given to Scott Brown during the derby clash with Rangers at Ibrox. Referee Dougie McDonald sent off the Celtic captain following a tangle with Kyle Lafferty, with the Rangers player unpunished for his part in the incident. "It immediately seemed to be a controversial decision to everyone in the ground and certainly any fairminded person looking at the incident at the time or subsequent TV replays could see it wasn't a red card. "It was a decision which had a major impact on the game and Celtic will now appeal against the red card, which saw Tony Mowbray's side down to 10 men for the last half-hour of the game. "Certainly, the Celtic support in the Broomloan Road Stand and beyond were left mystified and angry at yet another refereeing decision in a derby game this season which has gone against the club. "In the first derby match of this season at Ibrox in October, Celtic were denied a blatant penalty by referee Craig Thomson, who admitted after the game that he had made a mistake. "And in the game against Rangers at Celtic Park, referee Steve Conroy disallowed a Marc-Antoine Fortune goal, though replays showed that there was nothing wrong "Now, Dougie McDonald's decision is added to that list and will be the major talking point from the game." Celtic have compiled a dossier of evidence to back up their concerns over the standard of Scotland's officials throughout this season. Mowbray and chief executive Peter Lawwell will present their file during showdown talks this week with SFA chief executive Gordon Smith and refs chief Hugh Dallas. But the club could be facing a bumper fine if the General Purposes Committee decide to take action when they meet next month. http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/2010/03/02/sfa-set-to-throw-the-book-at-celtic-over-scott-brown-red-card-web-claims-86908-22079608/

Aye,he was their best player

MIB suits

Billy McNeill says that referees have favoured Rangers for as long as he can remember, following Scott Brown's controversial sending off on Sunday. Billy McNeill has spoken out against Scottish referees, saying that Celtic have suffered from their poor decision making for half a century. The Parkhead club are contesting Scott Brownââ?¬â?¢s red card in Sundayââ?¬â?¢s 1-0 defeat to rivals Rangers, a decision which McNeill claims is the latest in a long line of poor calls against his club. McNeill, who captained Celtic to the 1967 European Cup and had two spells as manager, watched on as skipper Brown was given his marching orders for a tussle with Rangers forward Kyle Lafferty early in the second half. The Hoops went on to lose to Maurice Eduââ?¬â?¢s late winner and McNeill believes that the Ibrox club have found favour with the men in black for as long as he can remember. ââ?¬Å?Celtic have been suffering referee injustices against Rangers for 50 years,ââ?¬Â McNeil told the Scottish Sun. ââ?¬Å?I felt that way as a player, during two spells as manager and now as a spectator. ââ?¬Å?Nothing seems to change. This season Iââ?¬â?¢ve seen it in each of the three derbies ââ?¬â?? and what happened at Ibrox on Sunday was as disappointing as any Iââ?¬â?¢ve had to stomach. ââ?¬Å?I believe when it has to come to players being red carded and booked, Rangers have been treated more favourably than Celtic. I think the majority of big decisions have gone against my club.ââ?¬Â Celtic announced their intention to appeal Brownââ?¬â?¢s red card on Sunday night and now could find themselves at the centre of an SFA probe. A statement published on the clubââ?¬â?¢s official website on Sunday night has angered those at the top of the game, after it was written that "any fair-minded person looking at the incident at the time or subsequent TV replays could see it wasn't a red card". The message then went on to list various incidents in recent Old Firm matches that the club considered to be injustices against them and McNeill agrees that his former team can feel hard done by. ââ?¬Å?Donââ?¬â?¢t get me wrong, Rangers have also had to endure a fair few bad calls from referees and linesmen,ââ?¬Â he said. ââ?¬Å?But not as many as Celtic. ââ?¬Å?Scott Brownââ?¬â?¢s actions did not merit a red card. And how Kyle Lafferty managed to escape any punishment stunned me. As far as I am concerned, both players had to be treated the same way by Dougie McDonald. If Brown was going off then Lafferty should have followed.ââ?¬Â http://sport.stv.tv/football/scottish-premier/celtic/160782-refs-have-had-it-in-for-celtic-for-50-years-claims-hoops-legend/

It would have to be Davis for me,easily,McGregor would be on my list as would Weir, however you never know with these things as we've seen all to often in the past when McGreedy won it although Hutton was superb that season before moving to Spurs,then you had Caldwell winning it when Bougherra was easily the best player that season, fuck me even on BBC1 last night after the OF highlights the two muppets gave Boruc MOTM !!!!

I am not about to change my mind :spl:

Rangers NEVER win anything,it's C****c that lose it
