They don’t have it as they will be paying out victims millions and their stadium is a disaster waiting to happen. Their political favours are on hold too as nippy and her disciples are likely to be out of power at the next holyrood election. A unionist majority with the conservatives as the largest party won’t be as accommodating with questionable finds as the current administration have been. This will all affect their thinking. I fully expect us to outspend them again. Only time will tell............... 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wanted Alfie and his goals to stay another season but I don't see that happening now. Rough estimate he may be out for up to a quarter of the league season due to bans and we could be down to 10 men for 4 or 5 games. That's unsustainable if we're going to win a league. Realistically the league was already gone before today and this was as much about pride as anything else. Despite everything I think we came out of it with our pride intact and are now just preparing for a better season in 19/20. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That, his vile challenges and even if he wrecks a player on purpose as he did against Ross County, he gets his red card reduced. He should have recieved a yellow for his part in the Morelos incident ... you can actually see how long he "thinks" before making that tackle. Yes, Morelos reacted, which he shouldn't - and that may hamper his career - but Brown can essentially do what he wants in the Scottish game. Then there is the Simunovic incident, when blatently floor Oli Shaw and did not even get a yellow. If the CO and SFA do not act on this, they clearly show an impartiality that can't be tolerated. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BEARGER 1,830 Posted March 31, 2019 Share Posted March 31, 2019 https://www.heraldscotland.com/sport/17540563.chris-jack-celtic-captain-showed-a-lack-of-class-with-old-firm-celebrations/?ref=rss Chris Jack: Celtic captain showed a lack of class with Old Firm celebrations By Christopher Jack @Chris_Jack89Group Senior Sports Writer Celtic's Scott Brown at full time after the Ladbrokes Scottish Premiership match at Celtic Park THERE is a way to win and a way to lose an Old Firm game. On Sunday, Scott Brown showed just how not to mark a derby victory. The midfielder might relish his role as the pantomime villain whenever he steps on the park but the faux hard man act got old a long time ago. He has been around the game enough to know what kind of reaction his gestures and actions towards the Rangers fans would have as Neil Lennon’s side clinched a derby win that all-but secures eight-in-a-row. While Rangers were out of the top flight, and while they have struggled since they returned, Brown and his team-mates have swept all before them in Scotland. With no credible challenge from Ibrox, Celtic have racked up the medals with ease and Brown has been one of the main beneficiaries of the monopoly in our game. It is understandable that this derby win meant a lot to the Parkhead captain but the role and profile he has comes with a responsibility. And that means he shouldn’t be milking it in front of the away fans like he was within seconds of full-time. At 33 and as a veteran of these combustible Old Firm fixtures, Brown really should know better. Quite why his first thought was to try and wind up or antagonise 800 Gers supporters when there are 60,000 Celtic fans around the ground is beyond comprehension. The melee that marred the end of the game only happened because Brown wanted to taunt rather than celebrate. It was classless. Brown will have the last laugh when he lifts the title but it was no surprise to see Rangers respond like they did to an unnecessary celebration. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gribz 850 Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 Gregory Vignal was co-commentator on RTV and I was impressed with his passion. 2nd half was much better and at stages yesterday we looked like the team playing an extra man. At first glance with Jacks chance I couldnt believe his effort but from the other angle it came to him a bit awkwardly, he didnt get a chance to turn on it. But that would have been the one that changed the game. McGregor immense again, some amazing saves. The one he tipped round the post from Tiernay was top notch. I hope we can still squeeze 2 more seasons out of him. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
