Match Thread [FT] Celtic 2 - 1 Rangers (Dessers 40')

[PoohBear 1,148]

We should almost certainly be taking a punt on young SPL players with a deal to keep them at their club for game time. We need much more of a long term view, one problem since coming back up is that we have had such a short term view to try and stop ten in a row.  
 

None of the strikers we signed last summer are good enough in my view. Crazy how much we spent on players to end up in a same or worse position than we were in before. It's been the major problem of our season. Dessers has a decent goal tally when looking at the figures, but watching him and knowing how many chances he has spurned paints a different picture. Not good enough to rely on as our main striker, but potentially useful as a squad player.
 

Clements signings have been a mixed bag too, I am not convinced by Diomande however he still has time to develop into a useful player, 4.5 million of a player though? I'm not sure. 
 

Cortes looked quality in the brief time we saw him, but many players initially shine and then settle into mediocrity. He could still go either way but he is the most exciting signing of recent times for me. 
 

Silva is dump, I cannot believe his price tag. Jesus.

 

For me, it's time to say goodbye to Tav, Goldson and Lundstrum, and whoever else I may be missing that have been at the club too long. Great players in terms of their skills, but a broken mentality. 
 

Souttar isn't good enough in my view, he has a major mistake in him every game. 
 

Yilmaz is injured too often to rely on.

 

I'd keep Sima but he isn't ours.

 

I mean, we are really in a shockingly poor state. Clement is going to have to perform miracles in the transfer market to turn this around.

Can't argue with any of that.

I’m hearing Police Scotland launching a probe into missiles thrown at Tav yesterday.

( after Tav handed the missiles to Collum is it normal protocol for the referee to throw them behind the goal ?)

Purely guessing here, did Celtic benefit from both?

So who are the players who are "stick-on" to start SCF? 

 

Butland

Tav

Sterling

Diomande 

Dessers

Still two games to go for them to come through uninjured, so wouldn't make early forecasts

They did indeed benefit from both. It’s called corruption in Scottish football from biased officials.

also recall the recent game v Motherwell at ibrox when Casey took out McCausland. Similar or identical to Lundstrum yesterday.

No VAR intervention in the Motherwell game but Lundstrum red card after VAR

They chuck missiles at our players, laugh in their faces and basically have a jolly whenever they play us.

 

Gerrard got it and drilled into our players that we need to hate them back and it worked.

 

Why do other managers not do this?  Why do our players not know instinctively what's required?  Why do we play the same way there as we do at any other away match?  

 

Are the too many left footers at Rangers?

 

I'm f*cking sick of it.
