match thread (image) [FT] Rangers 1 (C. McGregor 70 o.g.) - 0 Celtic

[buster. 5,267]

Game started as I thought it would.

They were the hungrier and wanted it more, without Jack and Arfeld we struggled in midfield and the ball kept coming back at us.

I was surprised at just how blunt we were in the first half and had thought our counter-attacks would carry more threat.

Aribo, as he showed in September 2019, isn't made for that position in an OF match.

 

But they didn't have the quality to make their superiority count and we had the best player on the pitch keeping out anything on target. The second save from Eduoard (even though it was offside) was out of this world. We hung in there and eventually did them. Two good balls from player of the season, Tav. The pass to Morelos (Bitton red) and the corner (goal).

 

But that is now just noise,...it's the points that make prizes and when the whistle went on nearly 95 minutes, SG looked like a man who was already thinking of how best to go about getting the next three on offer.

 

I don't live in Scotland, nor do I know of any Celtic fans where I do live but what an opportunity for heavily sarcastic banter back in Glasgow.

There are just so many different angles to take ?

Here's a few of those angles...

Barjonas, Stewart, Jones and Middleton all look very unlikely to feature much. If they could be moved on that would free up some cash for one quality signing in that position maybe. There is Barker too but the management rate him. 

I agree with this.  

 

I think SG rates Barjonas, but trying to get game-time with the fully fit midfield we have, is impossible. 

 

Now is the time if he ever will.

There are few better feelings in the world than knowing the supporters of Paedo FC are hurting.

They won their first title the year we went into the chaos of administration. They won their next four titles while we were consigned to the lower leagues. They didn’t win their ninth title at all and had to be awarded it for an incomplete season. That leaves three credible titles, even if they had had years of uncontested access to European football to finance their success. They’ve crowed and sneered their way through our difficulties, convinced themselves of their natural superiority and set themselves up for the biggest fall since Humpty Dumpty. 
 

They’re not feeling pain yet. They’re only feeling the fear of pain. Once the trophies are sitting in the Ibrox trophy room, once the reality of their financial mess becomes clear, once the child sexual abuse court cases start, that’s when the pain will come.

I know I've posted a few silly jokes about Duffy previusly but maybe it's my age...for a fleeting second, I kind of felt sorry for him yesterday. He's clearly out of his depth and his confidence is gone. His tackle was a straight red though
