    I wonder how much that cost Sky, to make the 16 best players in the country collectively down tools?

    You’re not thinking clearly then

    Manager played exact same way as Cup Final and we got caught making same mistakes, costing us goals on both occasions. His tactics and reluctance to change it for starters.

    Watched first half and didn’t make changes.

    Picked Scales and Taylor over Valle and Trusty.

    The list goes on.

    The truth is rangers have been better than us in the last two games and that’s on Rodgers.

    is his fault players keep making mistakes. they been better cause they more hungrier for victory than we were. You can win them all.
    only thing I like Rodger to do was park bus hit long ball over top. Get there defender up to half way mark and let our front three run after long balls.

    I don't get why people are calling it a dead rubber? There's still 19 games to be played and going by today the league is far from over.

    The thing that really * me off is their defence was there for the taking and we never laid a glove on them.

    Yes me too. A makeshift defence and we never took advantage. But it's done. can't change result so we analyse make sure doesn't happen again and move on

    Celtic have issued a strong condemnation following crowd misconduct during Thursday night’s 3-0 defeat to Rangers at Ibrox. The match saw two troubling incidents, with midfielder Arne Engels struck by a coin and manager Brendan Rodgers targeted by a missile thrown into the dugout.
    A club spokesperson told CeltsAreHere

    We understand that Police Scotland are currently investigating two separate incidents.

    “The repeated targeting of our players and staff with missiles is quite appalling and completely unacceptable.


    The events at Ibrox have once again highlighted ongoing safety concerns for Celtic players and staff at the venue. It was not so long ago in the past where a member of the Celtic medical team required stitches after being hit by an object thrown from the Rangers hospitality area.

    There should be accountability and swift action to address what is a recurring issue. Police Scotland’s investigation is ongoing, and the focus will now turn to identifying the individuals responsible for the appalling actions witnessed on the day.

    The away support is supposed to be back for the next two derbies this season with a net installed over away fans at both Celtic Park and Ibrox

    Awful performance today from the manager to the players. It was so bad I’m wondering was it more then Engels feeling poorly :56:

    3 positive though I’ll take:
    1. Baldermort still in a job
    2. We might (I said might) look to get the cheque book out in January
    3. Rodgers will surely learn a lot from today

    Lol it was their second string defence but the big Belgian waffler was forced to drop captain shitebag and the diddy in goals against his will inadvertently improving his team. Middle to front they were full strength.

    * are * but put in more effort than us today, wanted it a * of a lot more. Pity they can't play like that against St Mirren or Motherwell otherwise we might've seen a competitive match today.

    Celtic were * poor and the Huns played out their skin. The personnel was irrelevant for both teams today as the mindset was a mismatch.

    Thankfully an 11 point gap is a huge let off for our lot but the Huns have * all to celebrate come tomorrow morning.

    We started the game the stronger of the two until their goal, which came from another stupid pass from defence.

    That occurred to me aswell we were a mix between Ange and Brendan's football but now we're becoming much more boring like the end of Brendan's first term

    Also this happens with his teams play well for a While then go totally off the rails

    I've said it before I prefer angeball and these players are more suited to it in my book

    Today was poor, but for us to lose the league from this position would take an almighty collapse from ourselves.

    We'd need to drop points in 4 more games whilst they win every game, which includes them coming to Parkhead.

    They don't have the squad for league and European football.

    Brendan Rodgers was targeted by a second coin-throwing incident at Ibrox on Thursday afternoon, with Celtic hitting out at the 'appalling and completely unacceptable' behaviour.

    Rangers won 3-0 in a shock result in Glasgow's south side but the game was briefly brought to a halt late on when Arne Engels was struck in the head by a coin. The shameful scenes left the Celtic midfielder on the deck and he had to be checked out by medical staff, while ref Don Robertson was seen on TV cameras handing a coin over to the police pitchside, who placed it into an evidence bag

    But Record Sport understand that wasn't the extent of it with Rodgers also targeted in a second disgusting incident. A statement from the Parkhead club reads: "We understand that Police Scotland are currently investigating 2 separate incidents. The repeated targeting of our players and staff with missiles is quite appalling and completely unacceptable


    Rangers have vowed to help cops dig out the culprit and were quick to released a statement in the aftermath of the flashpoint. They said: “Rangers FC condemns this incident in the strongest possible terms

    He's correct. 11 points is a good cushion but the league is 100% not over. 11 points is hardly impossible, we've won the league from further behind before. A couple of bad results for us and they're right back in it.
