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

We were better in 2nd half but again, result over performance.

 

Huge 3 points 

[Frankie 8,665]

Not at our best but after the red card (well done Morelos!) we relaxed a wee bit as Celtic started to panic.

 

For all their possession and dominance, they didn't look that dangerous inside the box with most of their efforts coming from longer range but McGregor certainly deserves immense credit for 3 or 4 brilliant saves in the first half.

 

To get the three points after such a poor display reminds me of so many 1990s matches where we went onto win the league. Let's hope that's the case here but a long, long way to go.

How many games in recent seasons have we outplayed them and came away with nothing ?

 

It's all about the points.

Brilliant win

Walteresk performance if ever there was one. 

Tremendous result, let's enjoy and keep it going.

A poor show today but we got a bit of luck I will take those three points anyday and move on 

[CammyF 8,408]

We've shown mental toughness today, we've snatched a victory when under pressure, a bit like they've done over last few seasons. 

 

In hindsight, they should have had 2 players red carded, and after 30mins they've not looked like scoring. 

 

We are now winning when not playing well or when up against different challenges - last season we weren't.

BTW, I wanted to Helander to play but Balogun (one mistake aside) was superb.  As was Goldson again...

McGregor the Keeper: World Class !!!!

McGregor the goalscorer: Thanks bud !!!

 

Got Away with it up until sending off but capitalised and got the three points

Points make Prizes

 

Couple of weeks back I posted "8 Games to Win a League"

4 Down,...4 to Go

 

10/01/21	PRE	Aberdeen	16 : 00	Rangers
17/01/21	PRE	Motherwell	13 : 00	Rangers
23/01/21	PRE	Rangers	16 : 00	Ross County
27/01/21	PRE	Hibernian	20 : 45	Rangers

 

 

The other point I'd make is that having played every club H & A, we've reached a point where an arguement could be made to call League if covid forced a decision.
