That must be the worst Scotland squad I've ever witnessed.

Cheers mate.

Hawl! I predicted 2-0 and never got credit for the correct number of Rangers goals. Scandalous!

Just read the rules and stand corrected!.... The ref was still shite though!

The pinnacle of the refereeing today was when he awarded a rare Rangers free kick inside of our own box. When the goalie kicked it to the defender, the defender touched it inside the box and the ref blew for a retake. It was a free kick, not a goal kick! Pathetic stuff.

Just about had a heart attack there today. From where I was sitting the Motherwell goal looked a mile offside. The ref was an absolute joke - every time the goalie kicked the ball up to the Rangers half, the Motherwell player was just jumping into the Rangers player with no intention of getting the ball directly and not a single foul was given. I think this is where Rangers need to be a bit more clever and bite back. Going forward was painful today - no real good runs apart from Forester who was getting some space on the right. Miller tended to drift so far back we were playing without a striker. Barton was the furthest player up the park at one point! Pleased with the 3 points, but need to be much, much more ruthless if we are to think about winning the league.

2 things I've noticed about this coming out now: 1. They seem to be trying to justify it by bringing up the UEFA / Mandella tribute. How can targeting a group of fans both inside and outside of their stadium with abuse and offensive banners (plus flags) also targeting people of a certain faith / nationality be compared to this? In their twisted heads it can. The scary thing is, most of my Celtic supporting pals also have this viewpoint and cannot be talked round. 2. Why are Celtic getting little flack for this and it purely landing on the fans' door? Maybe I'm being a bit niaive as I've never smuggled a huge fucking banner into a stadium, but surely it can be pretty easy to stop this? Surely it isn't hard to search fans to ensure that they don't bring these things in- especially as it was common knowledge that they would bring them in. And you know EXACTLY where they are sitting?

I'll be honest, in the long term I think we have dodged a bullet with Lescott - he has been a bit of a "troubled soul" of late and could have ended up a massive passenger.

Bit late to join the party here but 2-0, Tavernier.

I couldn't have put it any enter myself.

A sorry state that this is my first post but I simply can't believe that this has happened in Scotland. It embarrasses me that this is the way our nation's people are being reported as behaving all over the world. What is worse is the usual whitewashing politically and journalistically. How is it acceptable, at all, never mind for political reasons (which are vastly complex and have nothing to do with this country), that a group of football fans are welcomed to a Scottish football ground, surrounded by absolute hostility (can we call it anti-Semitic?)? Why are these actions not being roundly condemned? The link above is what set me off; the Green Party MP trying to justify it. It wasn't just Palestine flags as the press were reporting; it's easy to find the massive banner of the grim reaper also - I guess that must be some sort of Palestinian flag? There were people being jostled with a police protection in full daylight, on video. The fact that this isn't being condemned really makes me shiver - is this what Scotland is becoming? Somewhere where it is ok to hassle a group of people openly because of their nationality / faith and to be BACKED UP by MPs? Does this not sound familiar?
