Is anyone quite surprised that we haven't, or actually that anyone has bidded for Claudio Braga? I think he's a great player. Same with the other left winger Hearts have got!

11 Feb 2026 16:17:23
Irvineblue, I like Braga, just need to try getting these players at the right time, or Heart would demand funny money, mate.

11 Feb 2026 18:50:25
Don't think he is better than Skov Olsen or even Antman, tbh. LW started well, but only 1 goal and 2 assists in the league since the end of October. Gassama has 2 goals and 1 assist in the same time, and fans don't think he is good enough.

11 Feb 2026 22:53:35
He is certainly better than them when those two are stuck on the bench getting thorns up their arse, Angus.

12 Feb 2026 08:22:43
Storm, do you think they are better players, though? That is the question, not whether the manager decided he can't play players coming back from injury for 90 minutes in games every 3 days.

So we do that, they injure themselves again, and we don't have them at all for the title run in.

So, if you knew they could only play in 1 of the 2 games vs Motherwell or Hearts, which one would you choose to play them in? I think that is all that happened here.

I also think the reaction to the result is a bit OTT, as always, and there is a long way to go; win on Sunday, and we are back to within 2 points (from 13 back when Danny Rohl came in).



Better watch what I say, though, as it doesn't fit in well with others. This is going down the same slippery slope as before: manager selections wrong, substitutions and tactics wrong, just read my first comment on a poor press conference. I want the team to do as well as everyone, but just don't subscribe to the same way of thinking. That is all.

The reaction to every little slip up is always the same on here, Angus. Nothing wrong in saying you think the manager made a mistake.
Over the last two nights, we've seen both our title rivals struggle in a game but find the way to win. We were winning but found a way to lose two points. That can be the difference in winning or losing the title.

We were never going to win all of the remaining games, but it is still in our grasp. We simply cannot try to hold on to a 1 goal lead, and hopefully a lesson has been learned. Don't think enough credit is being given to Motherwell, who played very well even with 10 men. First time in a long time any visiting team has scored at Motherwell.

12 Feb 2026 10:08:23
JFM, Angus, I agree entirely.

12 Feb 2026 10:32:59
JFM, I agree, but we don't know if he did make a mistake, or the team he picked was the one that was fit. Can Olsen, after not playing since October, and Rommens, recovering from injury, play 2 games in 3 days? So were they not 100%, and he rested them knowing that they will play on Sunday after recovering? If not, why did he not at least sub them on? My point is we don't know the facts, but pick a team on who we have rather than who is fit and available.

We have had a habit for seasons now of getting ahead and stopping playing, and holding what we have.

If you do that, then it will eventually come back and bite you. We attacked early, got our goal, and then seemed to settle back into our defensive shape. Motherwell, although having lots of the ball, didn't overly trouble Butland; by that I mean the saves he had were ones I would expect any keeper to make.
So a disappointing 2 points to lose, but there are many twists and turns before the end of the season.
I just don't want this to end as another rebuild if we fail, as that has been the norm til now.

12 Feb 2026 11:18:57
Towels will be thrown in by many, just the same as after the Hibs game. Hopefully they don't give up as easy with life in general.
Motherwell is a very good side. Danny Rohl did make mistakes last night. Posters saying play him or him won't understand the fitness level. He did say things changed from Tue/Wed with players.

12 Feb 2026 13:51:19
Rangers league games since our last defeat: 7 wins, 2 draws. Rohl did get things wrong last night, but we're still in the fight. Yes, Celtic and Hearts got late winners. Hibs were very unlucky, and Celtic got late winners at home against Livingston.

Let's see how many points Motherwell take from both of them. Motherwell need credit, a very good footballing side and very organised, but our players sent out last night should still have put on a better performance and won the game.

That was also the first goal they lost for a while at home. 3 points needed on Saturday, and 2 behind. Wouldn't shock me if Kilmarnock take something from Celtic either.

12 Feb 2026 14:46:59
Angus, when we win a game, it goes over the top on here, and the same when we get beat. Everyone needs to settle down and take the results as they come, as all 3 teams are still in this.

12 Feb 2026 16:54:41
I can see that Flb is starting also to realise it is pointless to post any time we lose points. Whatever the score against Hearts, I might give it a miss for a few days.

11 Feb 2026 14:10:36
After watching the Edinburgh derby i'm left in no doubt that we will beat what I feel is a very ordinary Hearts team at the weekend -- yes they did a timmy at the end but Hibs were by far the better team and deserved a draw.The big test is tonight at Fir Park.the steelmen are a formidable and well coached team.lets see what the news lads bring to the table in their first real test of testicular fortitude.

A MUST win

11 Feb 2026 14:43:02
Deecee, my worry is scoring against good teams, and Hearts can get the job done in the end. To steal a phrase, we will need 13 cup finals to win the league, nothing less.

11 Feb 2026 12:49:45
Hi

For me the game against Motherwell will be harder than the game against Hearts.

Both are must wins.

Feel Celtic will score at least 3 against Livingston, but hoping for a draw.

11 Feb 2026 16:20:00
Goldman, yea, i'd agree that Motherwell are probably playing the best football in the league. Let's hope we can put an end to that tonight.

11 Feb 2026 18:20:41
I'm going for 1-2 tonight and 4-0 to them.

11 Feb 2026 12:13:56
A wee bit of useless information. The fud that's Michael Stewart played for 6 clubs and not one payed a transfer fee for him. Must be some sort of record.

11 Feb 2026 16:08:18
If there is one pundit I can't stomach, it's him.

The self Entitled are losing the plot, if anything their getting worse an absolute embarrassment.

11 Feb 2026 08:15:58
Just had a look at the latest diatribes from Mr Google and his sycophantic followers. They need a resident psychiatric professional on their site, as its a walking advertisement for delusional paranoid thinking.

10 Feb 2026 23:21:13
Hearts showing again they are not going away. Over to us win tomorrow and setup for sunday.

10 Feb 2026 22:10:59
Yeah, they ground it out, but I hope they play like that against us at the weekend. We will take goals off them if they do.
Need 3 points tomorrow, so we go into it with the chance of going joint top.

10 Feb 2026 22:18:10
Wasn't a great match, particularly chuffed for the goalscorer.

10 Feb 2026 22:18:35
Terrible performance though, ows. If they play like that against us on Sunday, they will lose by a few, mate.

10 Feb 2026 22:20:49
Think we win tomorrow and give Hearts a doing on Sunday.

10 Feb 2026 22:41:25
Hearts will come 3rd imo.

11 Feb 2026 08:05:40
And how did we perform against Hibs? Taking nothing for granted. These are really tough games ahead.

11 Feb 2026 08:32:59
Or, if they play like that against us, they could snatch an 88th minute winner. Performances don't matter at this stage of the season. The only thing that matters is results; actually, scratch that, at the end of the day, the only thing which ever matters in a league table is results. It isn't figure skating, where you get marks for style.

11 Feb 2026 09:16:29
Angus, fair play, but if they play like they did last night, they lose by a few goals to us.

Hi

Celtic fans keep going on about referees/VAR etc. going all out to hinder Celtic and help Rangers, then why do Celtic win the league every other year?

Yes the refs are sometimes wrong but that's football, every set of fans see this most weeks! they also complain about home drawn cup ties, but its mainly the luck of the draw.

Also penalty's are pretty equal between both clubs, hope this will put some of their complaining to bed!

Some things go for you one week then against you the following week, it happens to every team, up and down all leagues in the UK.

Thoughts

Never once heard a Celtic fan greeting about refs, VAR, etc, when Rangers were in the bottom 6 at the start of the season under the disastrous reign.
It's only been since Danny Rohl was appointed and we clawed back the 10+ points.

09 Feb 2026 15:40:51
They need to blame something, correct, Mph. Not interested then, just laugh, Eggman.

10 Feb 2026 14:35:21
No complaints about officials when winning everything. Massive change in attitude now, everything is someone else's fault now. Enjoy it.

10 Feb 2026 15:15:46
It will be interesting to see how we evolve with that. Currently, we moan and complain about conspiracy when we are not top. Will we continue doing that when we are? Oh, hang on, are they not just doing this in reverse. 🙈

10 Feb 2026 22:10:43
You have no idea how high this goes. Pesky Masons.

09 Feb 2026 13:54:08
The meltdown from the east is glorious. Every single thing that goes against them is putting them into a state of paranoia. There's not a fan base in world football that as so self entitled and arrogant, they have had it so good with dodgy decisions and media outcry's that's when it's not going their way they implode and blame everyone but themselves.

12 Feb 2026 15:44:54
Meltdown on here after last night, people in glass houses and all that.
