TITLE: Celtic 3-2 Rangers, 27 April 2008

BODY:
Scott McDonald scored twice and won a penalty, converted by Barry Robson, as Celtic beat Rangers 3-2, the first time they have come from behind to beat Rangers in 15 years.

McDonald opened the scoring after only three minutes after Jan Vennegoor of Hesselink set him clear with only Neil Alexander in the Rangers goal to beat.

Rangers responded to going behind positively and used two successive free kicks outside the Celtic box to apply pressure.  Artur Boruc was forced to palm the ball away from his area after an early Rangers corner before Davie Weir headed an excellent Steven Davis corner into the net to pull Rangers level.

Shunsuke Nakamura almost gave Celtic the lead again with a free kick from a tight angle that Alexander punched away on the line before Rangers scored again.

Davis found Danny Cousin with a near-post corner, who headed Rangers into the lead on 29 minutes.

At this point Rangers were in the ascendancy with their extra man in midfield allowing them to force the play and pressure Celtic players into making mistakes.  Aiden McGeady changed the pattern of play by committing defenders down the Rangers right and it was from such a move that Celtic drew level.

McGeady cut inside and passed to McDonald who had his back to goal.  The Australian international knocked the ball two yards to his left before swinging round and cracking a shot high into the Rangers net.  The goal was a mirror of Nakamura’s shot that was punched off the line against Rangers 11 days ago.

Nacho Novo missed what looked like a league winning chance in the second half when the ball broke free to him inside the box after Danny Cousin crossed from the left, but Novo shot wide; this was to be Rangers last genuine chance.

Early in the second half Scott McDonald got behind his defender inside the box but the chance was lost when he sent an awkward cross to Vennegoor of Hesselink.  On 70 minutes the same situation presented itself but this time McDonald kept his body between defender and ball, and was barged to the ground by a clumsy Kirk Broadfoot; penalty to Celtic!

Barry Robson, who had another outstanding game, grabbed the ball this time and sent a thunderous shot straight into the middle of the goal, which Neil Alexander was wise to dive away from.

The final 20 minutes were nail biting for the home support but Celtic never looked like conceding a goal and ran the clock down with some intelligent possession football.  In the final minutes McDonald twice won free kicks by shielding the ball and being barged to the ground for his efforts before a tired looking Steven Whittaker hacked Nakamura in a similar incident and received his second yellow card of the game in the 93rd minute.<p class="blogger-labels">Labels: <a rel='tag' href="http://www.celticquicknews.co.uk/labels/Match Report.shtml">Match Report</a></p>

COMMENT-BODY:Fantastic result great to see the huns get it right up them.<BR/><BR/>Great performance by the DJ about time we had some back to basics songs. Also under pressure at the end complemented the holy goalie who i fear by his reaction may have said his old firm farewell.<BR/><BR/>Very tense day but thank god we managed to win. Now over to hibs and motherwell. We may lose this league but at least we know what we have to fix next year.<BR/><BR/>We must ensure that we do not over look the things that must be addressed<BR/><BR/>Hinkle and naylor looked poor today and whilst caldwell was very good mcmanus was shocking at the first goal and has no distribution other than a pass to naylor.<BR/><BR/>Also if GG is on the go for £3million we have to say no thanks.<BR/><BR/>Robson caldwell and skippy all amazing.<BR/><BR/>Well done celtic<BR/><BR/>Also took a drive through harthill on way home just to noise the scum up.

COMMENT-BODY:What a great day - and praise due for Gordon Strachan and all the players.<BR/><BR/>Couple of wee points - Neil Alexander looked very nervous to me in the tunnel (I was confined to Setanta). That can't have done him any good today.<BR/><BR/>David Weir's demeanour as he trudged off at half-time spoke volumes, I think. He looked a beaten man with 45 minutes to play.<BR/><BR/><B>Crisis -</B> (n) Any state of being requiring the introduction of Amdy Faye.

COMMENT-BODY:Lubo<BR/>I was thinking the same thing re Lennon's return. But the plaudits should go where they belong - stand up Mr Gordon Strachan.<BR/><BR/>Setanta are showing a rerun at 9.30pm. I have a lovely bottle of Shiraz awaiting - kept off the soup last night in anticipation of a favourable result. Looking forward to watching it again minus the nerves. Even the wife says shes going to watch it as well!<BR/>She might do - but she's not getting any of my Shiraz!!<BR/><BR/>Still standing! Still Proud! So so proud.

Huns at breaking point - lets go get em!<BR/><BR/>Artur Boruc - you are legend. Let's see how Scotland's Shame and the Shamettes in the media like them apples. With twisted logic and rage I'll warrant. <BR/><BR/>One disappointment today - confirmation (as if were needed) that Mick can't defend his box.

Although he has averaged 1 in 2 over the dozen or so games.  Which i guess you cannot grumble at.<BR/>Samaras, have to say jury still out, seems to drift out of the danger area to often and to easily. £3M+,  uncertain!<BR/>Was honking last week Vs Aberdeen goal apart when he got his chance to start.<BR/><BR/>So i will 100% stick to my original notion that i hope that skippy has got his confidence and shooting boots back on over the coming 3 weeks.

COMMENT-BODY:Hi Paul, I hope you don’t mind me posting this again I didn’t notice your new article comment :- )<BR/><BR/>It looks like the Fod are getting their December at long last; I just hope it takes a few points off them as it did to us. Given the choice I’d still rather be in their shoes, but wouldn’t be too confident about the next few games they have to play. Interestingly enough we have shown bottle when it counts, and rose to the occasion and got our 6 points. The Fod have tried to get away without losing and lost. Now both teams are in the position of not daring to drop points. We have what it takes, and believe we will accumulate the remaining 9 we need. Can the Fod do that? No, I don’t think so, as shown here today they are shaky, and it could well be, come next weekend that we indeed will push father ahead. We have the beating of Motherwell, I can see them losing away to Hibs, (after losing to Fiorentina).<BR/>3 defeats in a row for the Fod will be too much for them – the team, Wattie-face and the Orcs.<BR/>A complete meltdown is around the corner, it started last week, and we’ve put more coal on the fire.<BR/>It was a sweet result today. Well done to the team, the fans and Gordon Strachan.<BR/><BR/>HHBhoy

COMMENT-BODY:caeser1967<BR/><BR/>Fair play, you're not the only one who doubts him in the Celtic support. He has been playing well for Holland recently also which will give him a springboard. It's only really been since January which we've seen a sustained run from him at Celtic as he's had a number of niggly injuries and I think if he can keep himself fit then he'd continue to be influential. He seems to be someone who is considered with a lot of repsect from the players and the coaching staff. I've always enjoyed hearing him speak as well as he seems like a guy who has his feet firmly in the ground.

They may have overperformed this season, and may win the league but Walter has a very long shopping list for the summer.<BR/><BR/>I'm not a fan of Bobo, due to his tactical limitations, but he'd have prevented both their goals today.<BR/><BR/>I'm sure that was a sweet win for WGS today, it ust feel great for him to have answered his doubters in the last 10 days.  Still questions to answer, but pride restored and an improvement delivered.

COMMENT-BODY:Paul67....<BR/><BR/>On the subject of Caldwell, Wenger once said that a team is only as good as its midfield. Even the worlds best defenders (which I'm not saying we have) would struggle if they see too much of the ball and don't get adequate protection.<BR/><BR/>I think the introduction of Robson has made a big difference in all areas of the team and if Brown gets this difficult first season out of the way and gets plenty of games alongside Robson, building confidence and understanding, we may be onto something. I'm not sure about Donati. I can see he has something but as with Jarosik, I don't think we'll be seeing it regularly enough in the SPL. If we can get a decent return on him, it may be time for him to go back to Italy and play Robson and Brown as our regular midfield partnership.<BR/><BR/>With this in mind, I really hope we do 3-in-a-row because if we win this year, I can't see Rangers winning for the foreseeable future. Strachan has learned (maybe through fortune rather than judgement) how to beat Smith and we could be looking at four or five in a row.....<BR/><BR/>....here's hoping.

They would have two more wins if I went for the full time results rather than the standard 90 minutes but it's in 90 minutes which they'll have to win their remaining games not through penalty shoot-outs. their victories haven't been convincing either: they were barely in it against us, they were sluggish against hibs, and one of their victories was against lower league opposition. Sporting was well taken though.<BR/><BR/>With more injuries and suspensions and with this significant psychological blow it is highly likely that they'll drop more points. Not long left though so if they might be able to hang on. Hopefully we can win our remaining games.

COMMENT-BODY:Thank you Gordon, thank you Wee Scott, and a big thanks to Barry Robson, imo he was the missing link, keep him in the team and we will be just fine. <BR/><BR/>Even if we don’t win the league, at least we have blown the cardie jinks clean out the water and are making them sweat all the way to the finishing line, well done Gordon Strachan.

COMMENT-BODY:Just checking in after missing the blog for a week or so. I'm a very happy happy clapper with the one wee prob of hearing Talk radio stating that DoL is still lined up for the Celtic job. I thought that this nonsense had been well kicked into touch. Please tell me I'm right. I want us to start a 'Gordon must stay campaign'. Is this a good time?<BR/><BR/>Hail hail and here's to 3 in a row!<BR/>Its gonny happen!

COMMENT-BODY:Italiabhoy, <BR/><BR/>One of the best holidays of my life was spent in a villa over the valley from Barga. It's a lovely lovely spot and the links with Glasgow are huge. They didn't have the YNWA flag when I was there but they did have Saltire bunting which was nice. <BR/><BR/>On the game today fantastic performance to come back from a goal down against a team whose raison d'etre is defending. <BR/><BR/>Wattie was going ballistic in the second half. It's good to see his mask slipping recently. He really is a despicable human being.

COMMENT-BODY:well played celtic. a win was needed and a win was delivered. a special mention has to go to scott mcdonald who was superb. i can only recall one bad use of the ball. he played with heart, intelligence and no little skill. well done wee man. barry robson, after a shaky start where he gave the ball away  (or a foul) in dangerous positions, he really came on to a game. always wanting the ball and trying to bring naka and mcgeady into the game.<BR/>aiden, as always a difficult task being double or triple teamed with little support, but was always dangerous when given something to work with.<BR/>naka- superb use of the ball after we scored the second. he showed his class controling the flow of play, winning fouls and passing the ball with great intelligence and economy. when u see movement off naka ( which is rare) you can really se his class. we don't take enough advantage of naka.<BR/>i'm a fan of gary caldwell but i don't think he had his best game today. he was losing his aerial battles in the first half and he gave the ball away needlessly with a couple of over ambicious passes.<BR/>saying that he did play a couple of superb passes that showed vision and ability. i fell gary is at a point where he has to fulfill his potential and eliminate the silly mistakes or he will fade away. he definately has ability, guts and a certain level of skill, but he needs to be consistant.<BR/>although i hate to say it , i think mick is the week link along with naylor ( who i feel isn't so bad defensively but is rank going forward).<BR/>whilst we were spirited we waste a lot of possession.<BR/>i have been rambling with bad spelling included. all i really want to say is i really hope we win this league! then we can all enjoy it together!<BR/>and i hope gordon is here next august and that he's been given sufficient funds to complete the team he's building. no more shortcuts please.<BR/>hail hail, 3inarow is still on

COMMENT-BODY:A few random observations from watching the TV rerun of our superb voctory.<BR/><BR/>Zonal marking at corners is a terrible idea and has to go.<BR/><BR/>Having said that how did Weir score? he didn't seem to know where he was and the ball came off the back of his head.<BR/><BR/>How many fouls did they get when our player clearly played the ball first? Bug Jan had two, although he couldn't dispute his booking. Neither could Lee Naylor.<BR/><BR/>What an idiot Scott Booth is. He really does talk such mince. How about his observation that Rangers couldn't be tired because they started quickly. How did they finish, numpty?<BR/><BR/>How many fouls did wee Novo commit? Six, seven? I think there should be a rule about persistent fouling.<BR/><BR/>And what about Barry Bottler? I'd love to see the two Hibs players' bookings for dissent to see if they were any worse that he was all day.<BR/><BR/>Naka controlled the game in the last ten minutes. What a footballing brain he has.<BR/><BR/>We should have had a secind penalty right on 90 mins. Definite handball by Dailly.

COMMENT-BODY:Hilarious - a view from one of the dark sides highbrow sites<BR/><BR/>" FLUKES, FATALITIES AND FLAWED OFFICIATING<BR/><BR/>You sensed after the first ten minutes that this game was going to have to be one the hard way. A blatant offside goal and a stonewall penalty turned down showed exactly what we were up against. All the more credit to Rangers for turning it around to lead two one. Unfortunately it wasn’t just the officiating that was against us as McDonald fluked one over Alexander just before half time to send us in level.<BR/><BR/>The second half got no better though and we really looked up against it when Weir had to leave the field injured and was replaced by, of all people, Amdy Faye. Remember him? Yes he is still a Rangers player. With Weir off we didn’t look like ever getting a winner so it was a backs to the wall and defend it out. We didn’t look too bad at that though until, you got it, up steps the referee to give a penalty against a trip by Broadfoot, which was OUTSIDE the box. <BR/><BR/>When the penalty was dispatched we never looked like getting back into the game that got more and more frustrating as shown by Whittaker in extra time when he lunged in on Nakamura and landed a red card. Probably the last thing we needed with losing Weir as well. The race really hots up now but it is still in our own hands it just adds a little more pressure to the run in. "<BR/><BR/>you couldn't make it up

COMMENT-BODY:Hi all,<BR/>Watched the rerun on Setanta when I arrived home, I could not believe what I was listening to from Scott Booth.<BR/>It so incensed me I had to email Setanta, below is the email I sent.<BR/>I won't hold my breath for a reply.<BR/><BR/>Dear Sir,<BR/>How much longer are we expected to put up with the blatant bias in the match commentary of Scott Booth? he could maybe at least try to appear neutral. He seems to want to dissect Celtics every move adding more negativity than I have ever heard from a commentator. If he cannot be professional enough to at least try and cover up his loyalties maybe he is not suitable for the job. <BR/>I waited until after a victory rather than a defeat to drop you a line so my judgement would not be clouded by disappointment, but this man is going to cost your company revenue if he is allowed to continue in this manner.<BR/>Regards<BR/><BR/>T67

Left back really is an area we should sort out in the summer.<BR/><BR/>Really hope the Holy Goalie stays for next season, ditto WGS.<BR/><BR/>Watching the Spartak games from earlier in the season, great matches not least because my tip to solve the striking role, Pavlyuchenko, is playing.

COMMENT-BODY:Re Barry Robson...."the match has passed him by". Ok, I really shouldn't get so worked up and I shouldnt' frighten my daughter(my 3 yr old tells me not to shout) socommentary is staying off on first viewing from now on.<BR/><BR/>As for the point about Kevin Keegan, you deserve some lattitude when you were European player of the year at least once if not twice and one of your nation's best ever players. Keegan could talk with authority on playing on the biggest stages. Scott Booth is only there for his analysis ability and it's risible. I can only assume Setanta are paying peanuts and attract the proverbial as a result.

COMMENT-BODY:Got to say I think Booth is getting a raw deal. I didn't agree with some of his comments today - and thought he called a marginal offside decision far too harshly, but usually I think he is the fairest co-commentator in my recollection of Scottish football. He is allowed to disagree with us - and even get it wrong.<BR/><BR/>He also came straight out and said that Thomson was guilty of a "blatant dive" and I can't think of any other commentator who would have said so.

COMMENT-BODY:pfayr<BR/><BR/>I swear to god - that is a genuine c&p direct from www.rangersmedia.co.uk.<BR/><BR/>Broadfoot in the Herald is nearly as bad - its not often a linesman gets a mention by name for a 'marginal' call.<BR/><BR/>"Amid this see-sawing spectacle, Craig Thomson exerted admirable authority. This, despite his assistant, Thomas Murphy, creating early tension by not raising his flag for the marginal offside call before McDonald's opening goal. Thomson's willingness to allow both teams to express themselves was a boon to a tigerish Celtic. They bit and clawed at their rivals and ultimately had Rangers at their mercy."<BR/><BR/>So there you are - Thomas MURPHY has apparently given us a wee break - congratulations to the Herald for not calling him 'Thomas bead-rattling, we fed and clothed him - why won't he go home MURPHY' <BR/><BR/>Anyway, the offside rule says that there must be DAYLIGHT between the attacker and defender before he can be considered offside. These things will no doubt even themselves out - by my reckoning we will need another key decision in each of our last three games to even up the damage that Mike McCurry has inflicted on us.

COMMENT-BODY:Kojo,<BR/><BR/>Hinkel was starting to reach peak fitness after his lay off at Sevilla and show his true colurs over recent matches until last weeks injury. Trust me the guy is class.<BR/><BR/>He was playing today with an injury. Has a hamstring strain. You could tell he was holding back today and wasn't bombing beyond Naka like previous matches. Go easy on the guy. You might see Caddis next week i think so Andreas can be flying for the start of next season.<BR/><BR/><BR/>Super Mac is starting to see what i have been saying for ages.

COMMENT-BODY:I agree with most on here that Rott Mooth is not fit for the purpose.<BR/><BR/> I think the ref indicated that he would not allow Mick to be subbed till after the corner was taken.<BR/><BR/> I thought we looked more solid when O'Dea came on AND when Hartley went off.<BR/><BR/> Naka, Skippy and Robson closed the game out perfectly. Also Aiden, of course. Ach, they were all heroes.<BR/><BR/>  Neil Lennon is building up a good winning record as a coach.<BR/><BR/> Could it be that his more pragmatic approach to football complements Gordon's vision of attacking open play? Early days, though.<BR/><BR/>  I wonder if anyone "in the know" can clarify Skippy's reaction to Mick at the second goal.<BR/><BR/> I wish we had another couple of games against them.<BR/><BR/>  For the second time recently, their upcoming opponents have had two men sent off immediately prior to playing them.Dundee Untd and Hibs yesterday.

COMMENT-BODY:Pfayr,<BR/><BR/>If you look at the officating closely we do not get a decision until Rangers score.<BR/><BR/>I´ll also be keeping a close eye on how many of Rangers immediate opponents are sent off by referees using artistic license.<BR/><BR/>2 Hibs players sent off yesterday for back chat.<BR/><BR/>How Motherwell players are treated next week should be interesting. If they start picking up needless bookings once we are in control then it wouldn´s surprise me.

COMMENT-BODY:With regards some of the comments about the referees performance over the course of today, I must say that I do not think there was any bias at all. He seemed to lose his bottle a bit and got a lot of decisions wrong. I think we could have conceded a penalty for handball, and gained one (I think a bit of making things even happened), and various free-kick decisions were bemusing. He even missed an offside decision for 10 seconds or so.<BR/><BR/>It's a shame, but he had a bad game, and if he learns from it, that's the main thing.

COMMENT-BODY:Just back from game,  Gary Caldwell, captain's performance even before he got the armband. The weak link is MaManus, when O'Dea came on there was no worries. Naylor is an accident waiting to happen, get Wilson at left back for last 3 games. Robson, great game especially in 2nd half. Scott McDonald's best game in a Celtic jersey. We got the brakes and the decisions for a change. Win the last 3 games and we'll win the league.

COMMENT-BODY:Michael Fagan: I've seen that guy's blog and I have to at lest give him credit for speaking out against the BJK garbage, reminding them how he carried the bodies of Rangers fans at the Ibrox disaster.<BR/><BR/>Otherwise decent Rangers fans posting the sort of stuff you're quoting I have no problem with - putting it in newspapers and calling themselves journalists, I take exception to.

COMMENT-BODY:Someone mentioned this previously on here and today was the same; Scott Booth constantly referred to Celtic as the 'home side' while he called Rangers ... Rangers. I know he has a silly accent but surely he can pronounce Celtic ?

COMMENT-BODY:Couple of observations today.<BR/><BR/>Before the game 6 Rangers players in a wee square in front of away dog out, to do a training session. Darchiville gave Chris Boyd a vest that meant he was in the middle, Boyd refuses to be "het" huge argument followed by Boyd throwing the vest down and going in the huff, priceless. <BR/><BR/>Sitting beside us in the south stand, Shay Given, Damien Duff and another two players from England, sang every song and celebrated like maniacs at every Celtic goal,scarfs hats the lot, good on yeh.

COMMENT-BODY:The quote from the huns used today <BR/><BR/>"We shall not fail or falter.We shall not weaken or tire.<BR/>(Give us the tools and we will finish the job)"<BR/>Was from Winston Churchill.Yet again they like to use a siege mentality, superior complex against us.<BR/><BR/>Mind you don't know if the last part is in reference to the referees who officiate Celtic games!
