HT Celtic 1-0 Rangers

nakamura with a very bendy goal, from 30 odd yards out

What can only be described as a Stunning Goal!
Celtic have basically ripped Rangers to threads for the Majority of the First Half and hopefully we can keep this going in the Second Half.
This just shows how fustrating this season has been when you see the quality that Celtic have been showing so far.

Robson HAS to play too IMO. He has taken Rangers to the cleaners several times for the mighty Arabs in the last couple of seasons. I hope he at least gets the chance tonight.

Well he has got his chance and is defintely living upto this Reputation about taking Rangers to the cleaners.

Celtic score a last minute winner to give some of their fans a bit of false hope in the title race.

As I've expressed before on here I have little time for either of the Old Firm, but after the abuse I was on the receiving end of from Celtic fans in Glasgow on Saturday for wearing a Bradford City scarf (once they'd worked out I wasn't a Motherwell fan I was a "hun b*****d" and a "Rangers c**t") because Stuart McCall is our manager they've somehow managed to fall even further in my estimations.

Personally I thought he was hor$e $h!t tonight but I was pretty much right about the rest of it. The team that HAD to win, won.

Celtic 2-1 Rangers

Although the winner came in the 93rd Minute it was a throughly deserved win for Celtic, Rangers came out strong for the 2nd Half and it was a sublime finish from Nacho Novo to draw the teams level, At the team i was seriously questioning Gordon Strachans tatics when her brought off Barry Robson who had been possibly Celtics best player because to be fair Jan Vennegoor of Hesselink apart from the goal played like a donkey tonight.
The handball by Carlos Cuellar was a disgrace in all honesty and they will surely miss him on there return to Parkhead.
The door has slightly opened now but only in the slightest if we get the win against Aberdeen then the pressure is on Rangers.

2 sent off in the tunnel afterwards as well - bet that wasn't for deliberate handball

Not really, it was just one of those instinctive reactions and it nearly ended up proving itself to be the right decision. Now though, he faces a spell on the sidelines and rightly so.

What was a disgrace was the Celtic fan who pelted the Rangers doctor with a coin as he was assisting McGregor in the box. What a clueless idiot and an embarrassment to his club.

Well that's that embarrassing run put to an end, and that's the way to do it.

If Celtic win their last five games (which obviously includes another Old Firm) this isn't over yet.

Rangers have something like 5 of their last 7 games away from home and the fixtures are piling up.

That was a cracking game last night and much better than the guff the Premier League serves up. Even though I'm more on the side of the Rangers team I thought Celtic were fantastic in the first half and deserved on the whoe to win the game. More passion was shown by the teams and fans than you see down here. Hopefully the Jam Tarts will pull their bleeding socks up next year.

That keeps it interesting for a few more weeks, the fixture pile uo is now Rangers biggest danger.

I thought having your socks well above your knees was the Lithunian fashion anyway?
