It is clear that D&P have Rangers interest solely and only in mind. Ticketus is a major Creditor/ Stakeholder and D&Ps primary function is to take care of Ticketus ( Creditor ).

Can i just ask a question? Just one, you might all be able to enlighten me. And without using the usual class word can you all tell me why Neil Lennon is hated so much? As i find it quite uncomfortable the constant abuse he gets. Please dont say other players/managers have had it as bad as we all know no-one is even close. I remember when Souness was manager of Rangers he couldnt even refer to Celtic by their name but the level of hatred was nowhere near Lennons

Believable4 Unbelievable9

The way he conducts himself just annoys people, people I have spoke to who have met him don't have a good word to say about him. This isn't just in Scotland he was hated down south as well. Shearer nearly kicked his head off one time. The behaviour after the last two games says it all.

Agree15 Disagree7

The main reason is because he was a Celtic captain and always wound up the Rangers fans when he was a player, we hated him then and we hate him now. That is all. The people who were sending him death threats etc are linked to the UVF and mad dog Adair, not normal fans. Lennon was getting this abuse from these people in NI years ago due to the fact that he played for Celtic while being NI captain. I dont agree with all the death threats of course but the banter at games is just banter.

J

Agree7 Disagree3

First response is nonsense. The guy has been a gentleman everywhere he has played. The way he conducts himself? Please explain, as all i see is a guy who is posionate about his club and sometimes it get him into trouble with the authorities. Like many many managers.

Agree4 Disagree21

Banter?? You call the things sung and shouted at him banter? Wow...i wouldnt like to see you angry. Why did it bother anyone he was NI captain? It didnt bother the manager and Lennon was proud to accept it.

Agree2 Disagree6

Ever since mr lennon stated that he would like to see a united ireland football team the hatred towards him began to escalate...its strange how fans of a scottish club playing in a scottish league find this offensive.chill out its only a game.

Agree3 Disagree4

Didn't he spit on a rangers scarf at ibrox when he was playing with celtic and called Fernando ricksen a orange b**tard that is why people hate him

campbell

Agree12 Disagree1

Nonsense ok. Why is he hated at every ground, why was he disliked down south. Why is it people I know which has nothing to do with religion don't have anytime for him. This man couldn't spell gentleman never mind act like one. His comments after the old firm game are sad and pathetic. His conduct after the final were sad and pathetic. Even proper Celtic fans are embarrassed by him but he ponders to the minority.

Agree12 Disagree3

Lot of agreements with the first response, wonder why.

Agree1 Disagree5

It's about time the SFA made an example of this guy.Every time a result goes against his team everybody and their dog have it in for him and his team.Well Mr Lennon sorry but this might be how you perceive it but only you and some not all your fans.I have plenty good mates who are Celtic through and through who are totally embarresed by his rantings

Agree11 Disagree2

No 3 what garbage , i am lucky enough to work with Celtic fans who can debate Scottish football from premier to div 3 . What you are saying i have never found a Celtic supporter who would support your claim . From player to manager he has been a disgrace to Celtic football club . His behaviour is always about deflecting his lack of ability and lack of class, everybody to blame but meeeee. Thankfully the silent majority of decent Celtic fans regard his behavior during football matches as not what you would expect from a Celtic manager. How long will Lawell put up with this . Forever, it covers the f*** ups , the Scottish parliament , Sfa, Spl , Vincent Lunny all run scared to act , journalists , referees , the country runs scared of LENNON . Now more lies regarding Lennon not being safe at Ibrox more lies all lies. Journey back to when David murray was abused at Celtic Park , so never attended a match at Celtic for many years. Numerous attack on players over the years by the Celtic support Jim White , the polis turning a blind eye . even Catholic referees branded orange bxstards at school where they worked, all because they went against the Celtic . Remember when Lennon caused a strike , Polish referees arrived , you cheered him to the hilt . Then he chalked off a good goal . Must have been a Masonic Polish referee . Wise up, sxit goes around and its not the only reason you get beat . Billy McNeil should take Lennon aside and try and instruct him about conducting himself as a Celtic manager , the football public would respect him for that.

Highland Bear.

Agree15 Disagree1

Whilst a talented manager he is a mesiah to the mindless. his constant arrogance is sickening. whenever celtic underperform he blames everyone bar himself or his team. your right that it shouldnt matter that he captained N.I and played for Celtic but for the mindless and I mean mindless - it does for some reason. The things he has called players such as the ricksen incident, his actions including spitting on a gers scarf, kicking things when his team bottle it. .....hardly professional.

to say the he was unsafe in the directors box at ibrox? is there any need for these petty comments.

@5 -Don't even try the Scottish team, in a Scottish league nonsense. When was the last time a St Andrews flag,or Lion rampant was waved with any fervor in a home game at Celtic park?

My Mrs has no interest in football, she didnt even know who Lennon was. By the end of the game even she was laughing about how bitter he was. Even neutrals can see hes a bit highly strung.... CheltBlue

Agree4 Disagree2

Look at the way that McGeady and James McCarthy were treated throughout the SPL.That should help you answer the question of why Lennon is hated up here. Two young boys verbally, racially abused with sectarian undertones at every ground they played at because of the country they chose to represent. Just like Lennon though it is accepted as banter where as any other country's FA would not tolerate it we are meant to accept it as good natured banter. It is sectarianism and it is racist no matter how your twisted minds want to dress it up.

We should appeal Bocanegras red card because samararse dived and there didnt look like any contact at all

Believable13 Unbelievable9

It was more a penalty than Stokes last week.

Agree1 Disagree7

You should appeal , youre ref took an age to reluctantly go to his pocket and pull out a red....p.s how can a club as skint as yours afford to keep Scotlands top officials on the books?......Stevie

Agree6 Disagree11

I dont think we could afford to appeal even if we wanted to

Agree3 Disagree0

@No 2- You can clearly see the ref talking to his assistants and asking who it was that pulled Sammy-Arse down before sending the correct player off, so if you ask me the ref taking a few moments to get the correct decision should be commended not slagged off by some small minded person who thinks that everyone is conspiring against their club!

The Pilot!

Agree10 Disagree1

Yup id appeal,quite sure rangers appealed alukos dive against the pars even after getting the penalty for it.

Agree0 Disagree0

It was a penalty. it was accidental but still a penalty.

Mr Blonde

Agree3 Disagree1

We will just accept the ref decision we wont moan and complain thats the Rangers way not the Celtic way

While we are on the subject of diving what have the SPL done about Floods blatant dive against us a few weeks ago

Bears here is pub argument I had with
my bear pals, all this talk of players
taking big wage cuts...
If Jelavic was still at Ibrox, would HE
have taken the big wage cut?
Of course I said NO, but surprisingly
only 1 of my Rangers pals disagreed,
so consensus is Jellyfish just chases
money at whatever club. And only interested
in number one! Opinions? Timalloy

Believable10 Unbelievable7

He's not at ibrox so that's another pointless question, no-one plays for the shirt anymore (except a select few), "money talks, bullsh!t walks"
PaulRFC

Agree15 Disagree0

If Jelavic was still at Ibrox your sorry bottlers would have got an absolute hiding yesterday. Why do you care if he would have taken a pay cut or not, what does it even matter! You are Rangers obsessed.

Agree7 Disagree3

It astonishes me that you call Celtic bottlers, i remember walking out of Paradise in 2008 after Motherwell beating us 1-0 which left us 7pts behind having played a game more and only 7 games remaining , but we rallied and won our last 7 and Rangers bottled it for us to secure 3 in a row. This season however takes bottling to a new level your team had a 15pt lead and have managed to turn it into an 8 pt deficit. Now thats what i call bottling..........Stevie

Agree5 Disagree4

Inverness, Helicopter sunday,Kilmarnock,Rangers last season( Greegsy Pen save), Chance to stuff Rangers face in it on Sunday... thats just recently the list goes on and on

Mr Blonde

Add the Rangers game at Parkhead this season when we had the chance to go top of the league....oh i forgot Celtic bottled it and won that game....selective memories. .... Pay up or die.

McCulloch is a dirty player he had the
blood pouring out of Scott Browns
head and then had the bare faced
cheek to lie down like a wounded
animal.

Believable12 Unbelievable24

That would be because his own head was also 'pouring blood',,,,,,,
or does this also fall into the selective amnesia which affects the dark side?

Agree18 Disagree3

Dont talk utter rubbish mcculloch also had a cut high on the right side of his forehead it could clearly be seen on the tv

Agree17 Disagree4

Is this the same Scott Brown who was kicking rhys mcabe off the ball, maybe you wouldnt have seen it on TV but it was clear as day at the game, so trying to make anyone feel sorry for a player who is a loose cannon on the pitch is beyond me!

Agree17 Disagree5

Original comment is what we are up against. I often question whether the tic fans actually believe the green propaganda, forever spouted. Always cheated, never defeated.

Agree12 Disagree4

@4 lmfao, the events of the last few months and your still in denial that your club is corrupt... unbelievable......Stevie

Agree4 Disagree4

If you watch the full incident it's actually Sammy-Arse that pushes McCulloch from behind. This then makes McCulloch collide with Scott "I'll never walk up Hampden stairs a loser again....well till last week" Broon. So get your facts right before you start talking pish!!

The Pilot!

Agree4 Disagree2

At least McCulloch challenged for the ball and it was a clash of heads rather than the greasy greek who blatantly didnt go for the ball and elbowed McCulloch in the back of the napper. Dont even get me started on Brown i believe if it wasnt for the fact that 2 Celtic players had already been sent off the then Brown would have seen red for the amount of BLATANT fouls he commited and for kicking out at Aluko and before you Celtic fans start saying that i am lookin throu blue tinted glasses or something along those lines I dont think any of the red cards were worthy of a sending off but i do think Brown should have been off.

Mr Blonde

Agree4 Disagree4

What you notice about mcculloch is every time he does a bad tackle on a player he tends to lie on the deck hoping to avoid being booked himself,hes got it down to a fine art.

Does anyone know when Celtic were last beaten fair & square by ANYONE...?

Agree19 Disagree2

Your right our fans were our 12th man, maybe this week in training Celtic try, instead of playing your barca one touch stuff, (LMFAO) you try tackling legally , it helps keep your "players" (PMSL) on the park!

Agree9 Disagree7

@2- Think the only time was when the Republic of Ireland beat them. lol -
Stevie-A-Bear

Agree4 Disagree2

Do you think the free kick that led to your second goal was a free kick?

If you think Wallace went down easy for the Cha sending off surely you will agree that for you 1st goal, although there was contact (and in my opinion, still a penalty) Samaras also went down very easily.

I can sense your answer will be. "aye but only in the last two mins when the game was lost."

I don't get bothered by people like the original poster, we have some fans like that as well (blaming the bbc for all our problems not so long ago).

But Neil Lennon is a poor excuse for a Celtic manager, making excuses, creating paranoia and conspiracies with his views on games, which are seen through green tinted specs.

Pathetic.

Totally agree, the last time I heard ibrox like that was parma.. Awesome atmosphere, one of the best derby games in the world 100%. Love my old firm games!

J, the Parma game is my most memorable night at Ibrox. I t was bouncing throughout.

Yea mine too mate, what a night that was, I watched the highlights last week on YouTube, great team and the fans were unbelievable. The Bayern Munich game wasnt too bad either :-)

Was a good party atmosphere yesterday and both sets of fans behaved very well. One or two exceptions tho with the objects being thrown at celtic player from certain sections of the ground.

DD

Believable8 Unbelievable15

Yea i seen obejects been thrown at celtic players but you cant blame the celtic fans for throwing stuff at their players they spoilt their party by being 5hite people cant afford to waste money on ice cream and jelly dont they know we are in a rescission

Agree9 Disagree3

And illegal flares in the Celtic end,you seem to have forgotten that part.

Agree8 Disagree2

Would that be the same type of illegal flares rangers fans set off at arbroath this season?where they legal flares?i recall fans saying it created a great atmosphere,funny how opinions change in a matter of months.

Agree3 Disagree2

The same illegal flare that were set off by Celtic fans several times last year. Are flares not more dangerous than sectarian singing? Maybe they should be treated that way

Agree2 Disagree2

No4...ive never been attacked and called a fen**n bast**d by a flare before if you know what i mean.

That's right just the League title you had to play for?! Haha what a royal idiot!

J

Agree9 Disagree2

Aye right! " Nothing to play for"? What about pumping us on our home patch for the first time since 1967, winning the title at your biggest rivals ground, because i remember 99 and it was magic. And the small fact that it was an old firm game, and we just want to pump each other for the sake of it. Stop kidding yourself on mate. You certainly ain't kidding me, nor anyone else.
Stevie-A-Bear

Agree7 Disagree3

Mmm here was I thinking you could have won the league on your greatest rivals home Patch silly me.sour grapes anyone!

Agree4 Disagree1

Sour grapes nothing, if celtic HAD to win then we would have won. We are a FAR better team as the league table clearly illustrates. Simple really! As for the gers fans, they must be the worst fans on earth. When their clubs needs them to dig deep, the raise £150k for their fighting fund, ! And as for originality, well do you ever make up any songs that are not bigoted because if its not that then you are singing or doing some poor immitation of what Celtic fans do. Away and die now, I for one won't miss you..............martyc1888

Agree4 Disagree1

Celtic HAD to win last week and didnt, just accept ur teams got bottle issues m8, nt bear

Agree2 Disagree4

Missing our 3 top scorers for this season (1 on the bench) had to play McCulloch up front, played a boy who was making just his 3rd Rangers appearance (Will add he also played better than any celtic outfield player) And still we beat a pretty much full strength Celtic team... ooooh yes Celtic are FAR better indeed..... NAAAAAT.

Mr Blonde

Agree3 Disagree3

One point you missed Mr Blonde

You still owe money on some players who played yesterday and last but not least dont you bears feel angry that these same players have been getting humped left right and centre recently? why only this effort against Celtic(some with an eye on the shop window me thinks)

Dannybhoy

Agree1 Disagree1

@1 & 5, Haw haw CONSPIRACY!, can i just say, for the tic fans that quoted that the ref had to make sure celtic didn't win is just bollox, see if that was the case then he wouldn't have given the penalty and probs just ruled rognes goal offside! get a grip! what would have happened was that if you did win then the police would have demanded you to celebrate it back at the parkhead skip hire and waste managemnt ground, you simply were bestin by the better team, your bottles did crash! don't underestimate cos it will bite you in the arse cos look what happened with killie, oh sorry were you not allowed to win it either? haw haw

Agree0 Disagree0

26 Mar 2012 17:00:13
Met Davie Weir a few months ago and he told me what a great prospect young McCabe was. I have to say thought he ran the midfield yesterday and was the best player on the pitch. Although it didn't come off his Ronaldoesque strike at the free kick was a good sign for the future.

Only hope we are here to see more of him.

LOL one game and hes Ronaldo(remember Fleck the scottish wayne Rooney?)

I know people question Ally tactically but his class cannot be questioned IMO.

The guy has been excellent for us throughout our financial troubles and the sight of him standing in the tunnel waiting to shake every member of that celtic team at full time was a great show of sportsmanship and was a touch of class. His embrace with big samaras was particuarly good to see, fair play to samaras as he was the only member of the team to stop and acknowledge Ally properly. Really good to see.

I also hope the 10 clubs that are proposing changes withing scottish football saw that game yesterday and realise that they are the lucky ones to have us and Celtic. No 2 other clubs in the world could generate such an atmosphere and occassion never mind 2 clubs in the SPL....

more than craig whyte i hope

Believable4 Unbelievable2

250 million its reported. Don't imagine that is cash reserves though.

Agree2 Disagree2

26 Mar 2012 15:44:03
Does anyone else agree with me that if brian kennedy takes over he should give paul murray and the three rangers supporters groups an active role in the club, it makes sense as paul murray has always said that the accounts must be transparent to everyone involved at the club. i think it could be a good way forward with real rangers men at the frontline. ( inc. walter and souness).

Believable9 Unbelievable2

Nope, any connection to the past has to be cut, Paul Murray could have easily dont this last year to save the club before whyte even came in. he knew fine well the situation so left whyte to take that fall. and then try get rangers on the cheap. both man as bad as each other i say.

Agree5 Disagree3

Muarray had a bit rejected by the bank last year as they didn't want the 18 million of debt remaining which he did. He warned us along with Johnson about Whyte get your facts right. I do believe however that whoever takes over will NOT involve anyone else who has bidder including the Blue Knights. They will have to accept the fans demand a larger say in the clubs matters now.

Agree1 Disagree1

Brian Kennedy is his own man, he will decide who he appoints, if he takes over.

Rusty who supports the 'it was the refs fault' tim!ok I've had time to reflect on yesterday's performance and I would have to say rangers won it fare and square.but the thing that beat us was our own attitude!our player know the leagues won but shouldn't think that till it's actually won. Rangers had everything to play for ie 4 games deafeted at ibrox,no title party plus there wounded animals with a point to prove were Celtic just made up the numbers for a sunday stroll!!!now I here about ally job for life etc,is this the same ally who was 15 points in front and gubbed it and out every cup???bare in mind it was a great result for you's but if the titles tainted does that mean the victory is tainted???can't have it both ways!!p.s liquidation is looming so is the 31st of march!!!hail hail the title isn't tainted it's fantastic the tim

Must say, I haven't ever enjoyed an Old Firm game as much as I enjoyed the match yesterday. Yes it was great that we out played Celtic, and of course fantastic that we won the match and proved we can more than match up to them. But what was most pleasing for me was the passion, determination and will to win shown by each and every Rangers player and fan at Ibrox yesterday. We didn't allow Celtic a moments peace and were outstanding from start to finish. Any neutrals would not believe that it was Rangers who were in administration, nor would they believe it was Celtic who were chasing the league title on the day. I haven't felt this level of pride in the players/management for a long time. Also thought Super Ally got his tactics absolutely spot on. Genius to play Aluko off the front. Couldn't sit here and analyse every players performamce because they were all fantastic. Proud and honoured to be a Rangers man as always. WATP.

PS... Would also like to congratulate both sets of fans, I thought the atmosphere was tremendous. The Old Firm derby has no equal imo. Greatest derby in the world.

More than match them celtic had 9 men it would have been interesting if it had stayed 11 v 11

Would still have fancied us to win with 11 v 11 we were one up at the time and missed a couple of chances

We kicked butt end off watp

If you re-watch the match (not that you'd want to from a Celtic point of view), then you could not deny that, in fact, the best football played by Rangers and our most dominant spell was when it was 11v11.

1) I'd say it would have been more interesting if Wallace hadn't been tugged when through on goal, scored and been 2-0 up early doors.

I would not be interested in seeing Whittaker's legs had his feet been planted on the ground when that challenge came in.

Watch it again pappy, s**tkicker had his studs showing ala Elbows on Kayal. Only difference is whiticker missed and elbows put Kayal out for the season

Agree0 Disagree1

Seeing you mention Wallace (is he paid for yet?) no way he was catching the ball he was cute felt a touch and went down

Agree0 Disagree1

@6. His studs were showing because he jumped out of a reckless challenge.
With regard to McCulloch and Kayal, they both went in hard and unfortunately Kayal took a bad one. Don't need to watch it again thanks.

pappy

@7. Really? How could you tell? What are this weeks lotto numbers going to be? The "is he paid for" comment is silly. Plenty of players all round the world are bought in installments. Does that mean his goal should be chopped off?

First of all let me say congratulations to Rangers for their win yesterday, red cards aside, they simply wanted it more.

Now, i have seen a few mentions on here about the Rangers players taking 75% wage cuts to stop the team going under and how brave it was of them. Yet the people typing this are the same people that only a few weeks ago decided these players were merely shamed into taking the wage cuts.

Funny how one results can change an opinion eh?

@ "b" do you think mccoist would be safe sat in beside your lot? The answers NO ! Ed I'm getting sick of the tripe your letting that lot post , making us out to be sub Human, does that guy not mind 99 , an I'll tell a story about "Celtic fans" (hope you post it ed) I went to ibrox for the uefa cup final coz I couldn't get the 3 days of work I needed to go to Manchester , after the match had finished 100s of us went to que for buses , and waiting fir us was about 50 Celtic fans aged 16-30 singing filth towards us , then their violence started , throwing bricks an glass bottles at us and the buses, there were kids screaming , women trying to cover their kids heads to stop them getting hit with the sh!t they were throwing, and half the buses wouldn't even stop for us, and not a police car in sight , it made me sick ed , so if your going to start mouthing of about our fans take a look at your own ones first!
PaulRFC {Ed001's Note - do you not think the issue is that all the fans need to start taking a look at themselves? Lennon should have been able to sit in the stand, as should McCoist, regardless of which team is being faced. This is a world wide issue, their are too many fans who think Greenstreet is something to be aspired to, rather than despised.}

Believable9 Unbelievable2

To be honest, so what he didn't get into the stand. He got to sit in a room where he could watch replays probably got more info on the game. Maybe he should watch the replay of McCoist at the end of the game. Shaking hands with the celtic players. And it was good to see him with samaras. McCoist is bitter aswell, he lost the league. but he showed character to stand up and shake the celtic players hands.
Don

Agree3 Disagree3

Ofcourse I agree with you ed? The thing is though, an I ain't having a go at you mate, you do a great job, but it seems slot gets posted about us as fans but when we try to give it back or stick up for our team it doesn't get posted , now I posted the other day ed replying to a post of a well known tic fan on here saying he found a link on " how to explain money to a H*N, but my post never got put up, that's the point im getting at mate, I no both are as bad as each other , but you can't have that lot saying what they want on the sites an we don't even get to reply to them.
PaulRFC {Ed014's Note - Your point wasn't posted because it was irrelevant.The word was never used on any of the sites.There was nothing wrong with the post.

Agree0 Disagree0

@ed014 , what you on about mate? The words in my last post , it's just got a star in the middle like his post did,this is EXACTLY what I'm getting at, it's doesn't take Einstein to figure out what the word is! But listen mate , it's fine , I'm just trying to get my point across, but it's obviously just me ok , so you have my apologies !
PaulRFC {Ed001's Note - yes but he wasn't posting it meaning to offend, it was posted because he was trying to explain what the Youtube video was called. You can't just rule out all incidences of the word mate, otherwise we will be talking about Attila and the ****, it makes no sense. If anyone actually really knew anything about that particular tribe, they would realise how stupid it is to use them as an insult. They were actually a very cultured people, they were just not Romans and so labelled as barbarians.}

Agree0 Disagree0

@ed014 , I get your point mate, I know where your thinking is regarding Attila, I done a paper on that age in college (10yr ago though), I just don't think it's a word that should be posted when referring to rangers fans, but that's just my opinion and everyone's entitled to have one, so no bother man , it's forgotten already.
PaulRFC {Ed001's Note - no, we wouldn't have allowed it through to refer to Rangers, it was purely because it is the title of the video. What I would be questioning is why Google (who own Youtube) are allowing it to be posted? Surely they have to comply with the recent laws which forbid the use of the word in reference to Rangers and its supporters?}

Agree0 Disagree0

Fair do Ed001 , no offence intended or taken (now you have explained), good debate , I like it , ;)
Paul(mauricio)RFC {Ed001's Note - cheers, we wouldn't post anything like that as it is illegal and would just have the site shut down, even knowing my personal feelings on hating it being seen as an insult. I actually find Attila and his people a fascinating bunch myself, it takes a lot more than a bunch of idiots to invade and destroy the Roman Empire after all!}

Just a point ed if the attila word is banned,should not the tim word be banned also,as it is the english form for tadgh ie person which is a very naughty word for a catholic garlar07 {Ed001's Note - we are guided by the laws regarding it mate, that's why certain words are banned and others not. We do tend to just remove the word scum, not because it is banned but just because it is offensive to use to anyone. If Tim or Timothy is seen the same way we would also start removing it, but as a lot of Celtic fans refer to themselves as Tims (and 007 also says he doesn't find it offensive) it would be more difficult to eradicate. It is a similar issue with Spurs fans calling themselves Yids. I just don't know where to draw the line to be honest, we just have to keep re-assessing it all the time.}

Agree1 Disagree0

Thanks for that ed,it,s not that it bother,s me,thanks for your thoughts,garlar07

Agree0 Disagree0

@6 the 'tim' word is the shortened version of the Tim Malloys, although one visitor here spells it Timalloy. An east end Glasgow gang in the 1900's and were made up of Catholics and were called that after the name of the leader, apparently.
The term Tim Malloys is sung in one of your Celtic songs and has been for donks.
It is your own adopted nickname.
If you do not like it you only have yourselves to blame.

Morning all,

So far ive seen this morning its been the fault of

Strathclyde Police Force
Ibrox security staff
The Ref
Lee Wallace
And even health and safety certificate been taken off Rangers.

Surely the fault was Tactics, pure and simple, Rangers out played Celtic in every position, Samaras was'nt interested from the first second, McCulloch bossed the two centre half and McCabe took control of the midfield.

Any decent Celtic fan would agree.

Samaras was there best player an played well u aint watching same guy as any1

Agree10 Disagree6

Agree with most of the first post apart from Sammy(best Celtic player by a fair bit),
It is pretty simple,the team who wanted/needed it most won on the day,dont forget the tactical genius that is Ally was getting slated on here(only last week) and blew Europe both cups and a 15 point lead,one swallow does not a summer make. Enjoy it Bears I think you needed something to cling onto

Well done best team on the day

I forgot to mention in my last message that I also wanted to say a huge thank you to Celtic and there fans yesterday, you might hate us but after that old firm with the world focus on rangers the match display and the atmosphere from both fans has made rangers and ibrox look very good to buyers y would people not want to buy us after that display! Thanks for helping our troubled club! 3-2 Woop Woop

Believable9 Unbelievable1

26 Mar 2012 13:05:38
Ally I have always believed you were a legend as a player, I ain't been your biggest fan as a manager at all. Whe I saw your 5-3-2 formation yesterday i was well happy but you made a tactical move at the very start of the game to counter that lot and it was genius move so well done and congrats on spoiling their party at ibrox now when the do win it we can just treat it like another day! As for D&P you have done a great job of exposing the little truths about whyte and you now have 5 bidders surely it's a case of who can bring the most money to the rangers table that should be the best at the end of the day if they have all this money they must have some for of bussiness sense to have this money in the first place to hurry up and choose as your taking to long with this admin case and taking to much money out of our club.
If we get a good chairman in I would be happy to give up the ibrox name to sell it to some eastern group if it means keeping rangers fc... After all we will know what our home is called in our hearts!! Well done yesterday boys you played 88mins of good football and as ally said 5min of madness lol but that's why the OLD FIRM derby is the best derby in the world without a doubt...

Read it properly Celtic warned Lennon on the advice of Police and Rangers security

26 Mar 2012 12:38:15
ah well boys it was a good day for you yesterday,But it is now the start of another week and yet another bidder in the frame.D&P are still stringing yous along and they say after they have had a look at the bids they will narrow that down to two or three,Then they might get another bid which they probably will and have to re look at all the bids again.So when they tell you we are trying to have new owners in place for the end of the season do you trust that is going to happen....b

26 Mar 2012 12:00:31
With everything that has gone on, every single person associated with Rangers should be proud of that team performance yesterday.Its easy to beat teams when you are flying and on top of your game with class players. Yesterday every single player stepped up to the mark and stopped the other lot win the title at Ibrox. These are the same players that are worrying about what they are going to be doing next season.These are the same players that took massive pay cuts to help Rangers survive.You could see at the end of the game that they did it for us, for that the team that played yesterday will forever be remembered by me and hopefully others as another reason why Rangers will never die..Thank you Glasgow Rangers squad 2011-2012.

Fantastic overall performance by all
players with the exception of 1. I thought Whittaker had a bad game and it's not his first!
How many times have we seen him
be too casual at the back, wait for a challenge to be on top of him and to make a
challenge in our last third when
there was no danger (leading to the
Mhankies 2nd) was a disgrace!

I know it was his first game for a
while but judgement is not affected
by fitness!

Believable8 Unbelievable6

Agree....he was is, and wil always be a risk,can't defend, can't run, and would be unaware of an elephant two feet away from him.

Thought papac was garbage aswell.

Don't want to complain after a great performance like that but I was watching on Rangers Tv and i missed the teams before kick off, it was only in the 40th minute that i realised Edu was on the park!

More bad news fellow bears!

The police are due to come down hard on Rangers yet again after complaints from Celtic fans. Apparently they were in the middle of a celebration which was rudely broken up by Ally's boys over a 90 minute period. No confirmation as yet on whether McCoist pished on Lennon's bonfire

I was there and our celebrations went on
despite the result. Hail Hail

Well done to the team against all the odds. I feared the worst before the game.

I think McCabe was a breath of fresh air in the Midfield where we have been getting slaughtered for the last 3-4 weeks, with Davis and Edu not performing.

I have to say that Wallace is a bit dissapointing. His passing and attacking form are not the best. Fair enough he scored a goal, which did make me eat my words, but he missed a sitter from 3 yards out 2 mins before his goal and blasted one over the bar from 12 yards out. I always think he has wooden legs when I see him try to create something going forward. He is decent at defending but with him and Papac on the left side there is not much in creative play which is a worry.

Believable5 Unbelievable7

Athought Wallace had a quality game from what a seen he never stopped bombing it up and down the pitch and played a massive part in creating his goal and he took the goal well.

Ref did his job well his father will be proud. McCoist was allowed to shake hands as he was not warned that his saftey was in danger. Had Lennon not been forced to seek security in some safe room due to warnings that he could be attacked in the main stand; then he would have congratulated Rangers on their win, which he did afterwards. Sad that in 21st Century with so much police presence a Celtic Manager doing his job is threatened and his life put in danger...well done Strathclyde Police and well done Rangers fans...something else to be proud about!!

Believable6 Unbelievable13

Their was no threat on his life he was advised not to go to the stand get it right ... Kenny bluenose

Agree12 Disagree5

@1 is correct, get a grip of yourself original poster. The better team won and Lennon blamed the referee as usual

Agree10 Disagree2

Since you clearly are to lazy or don't like what you hear, just for you I reiterate;

2.) Surprisingly he managed to sit in the stand at both the St Mirren and Motherwell games unmolested, can only be your lot then that are the problem

Agree3 Disagree9

3.) so he's been sent off more than once before, what does that tell you. It's people like you with your uneducated comments that causes problem.

Agree8 Disagree1

Bit rich coming from serial offenders like Celtic....Strachan/Ally Maxwell/assorted Rapid Vienna players/Hugh Dallas/your own directors/Fernado Ricksen have all not been safe at Parkhead...typical Celtic selective memory.

Agree7 Disagree2

L ennon been caught telling lies again. On Sunday he said rangers security advised him nto go into stand, now official Celtic fc statement on Monday was that Celtics own security advised him, so no rangers or police advised him it was his own. My view is it liewel gave the order

Agree5 Disagree4

Everyone missing the point here!
Ask Billy Mcneil,Martin O'neil,Kenny Dalglish,Jock Stein and so on... Were they ever in the headlines as much as the wee ginger? Answer -No!
Why do think this is?

'It all looks like another potential Celtic v the SFA fight'
'Samaras gets fouled by Papac and the referee waved play on. This is ten minutes after the Cha Du-Ri sending off and you are thinking: 'What's going on here?' It was a clear foul'
'I was advised not to sit in the stand. I can't sit in the stand for my own safety. It sums things up in this country'
'I'm not happy about it and it will all come out in the wash eventually'
'I don't think I deserved to get sent off and my staff are very angry about it''
'They weren't at their best today, I understand that. But they weren't allowed to be either
'I can't for the life of me see why it is a red card for Cha'

I have to say, probably for the first time, that I have to agree with something lennon said in his post match interview. "We were never going to win today". Yes neil you are correct because we all know you and your mob just don`t have the bottle and you proved it once again. How many times is that?

Just read lennons story on BBC web site as he was sent to the stand at half time he said he did nothing wrong and he is very proud of his players performance yesterday in the second half was he watching the same game as us 43,000 fans they only had 5 mins at the end were rangers took the foot of the pedal it's true about him always cheated never defeated. {Ed001's Note - I took it mean that he was proud that his players didn't take their foot off the gas, even though they were 3-0 down and kept trying. I would say that was something to be proud of, if it was me as the manager. If I was Ally I would want to know why my players didn't close out the game and instead let Celtic score 2 goals. That is the kind of thing that can cost you trophies.}

Believable4 Unbelievable0

I think as McCoist said it was just a mad five minutes from Rangers, it's understandable to lose concentration when you have been focusing so hard for so long, the mistake was bringing on Kerkar for Wallace {Ed001's Note - it probably was, but I would still want to examine why it happened if I was him. If the mistake was mine, I would want to sit down and make plans for what I would do in the future, if a similar situation were to arise.}

Agree4 Disagree0

26 Mar 2012 03:14:09
hi ed a valid point if neil lennon was sent to stand and then told by the police that they cannot guarantee his safety and he was sent down stairs. This should be a case for health and safety for if the ground cant guarantee a persons protection then they should not be granted a safety certificate ....b

Believable5 Unbelievable8

Common sense would have told lennon to go in the main stand would be suicidal was his suggestion to go there to cause bother {Ed001's Note - it wasn't his suggestion, it is a UEFA-directive that a manager sent from the dugout sits in the stands.}

Agree1 Disagree0

Surprisingly he managed to sit in the stand at both the St Mirren and Motherwell games unmolested, can only be your lot then that are the problem, childish post ....b

Agree6 Disagree4

Right so im going to go to Celtics next home game wearing a Rangers top try and get the home support stand and if the club or the police cant guarantee my safety they should lose their H & S certificate or maybe Lennon health and safety are more important than mine this is just Bull5h*t ive seen Lennon in our main stand before.

Could today be a sign of things to
