The amount of Rangers' fans I've heard going on about how they "aren't that far away from Celtic" is cringeworthy. And the media saying how Celtic should have won by more is as tedious.

We could have been four or five up in the first half - and SHOULD have been up by at least three. We came out in the second half and killed the game. Totally professional. Why go gung ho? Especially when you don't have to? That's schoolboy stuff.

Would I have liked five or six? Of course but as I say, totally professional job. Not only were we heads and shoulders above them technically, we out fought them in every area of the pitch. They were tiring by the end - all that hoof the ball and cakes at half time will do that - but we looked like we could go again.

To chastise Celtic for not winning by more goals, or to claim that Rangers in any way competed, is ridiculous. Apparently, this was their most important game since liquidation? It's not even our most important game in February.

I totally agree TPP for me it became that we were content and had no real need/intent to expand further energy, as you say more important games in Feb mate including now moving towards two games a week!

A hear the people in laundry dept. had to ask our keeper what kit he wore as there wasn't a mark on it lol

They are miles behind us. It was like watching a sunday pub league team.

Hampden Park is supposed to be iconic as the home of scottish football. That pitch was shocking! There will be teams in lower leagues with pitches in better condition

{Ed007's Note - Blantyre Celtic would have got a result against them. I've only seen them play Hibs this season and they were diabolical, yesterday just showed how far behind us they are on and off the field. It will be years before we are challenged by a club playing out of £1brox.}

Just read wee Blacks outburst about Broony's tackle on him, he said if he had made that tackle he would be sent off. Well you don't have to worry about getting sent off Ian because you don't have the gut's to make a tackle from the front.

Ed I think they will be lucky to get promoted this season into Premiership.

{Ed007's Note - Unless there is a vast improvement in them it'll be a huge ask.}

I think it years since we played as bad a team as Sevco. Not only was C Gordon a spectator but our defenders never had to stretch themselves to make a last gasp block or tackle .
Even they do get three/four Newcatle illegals they still won't have a team .
