We should have Aberdeen at Home
Hearts Away
We will have played Motherwell away twice after Saturday
We have played St Johnstone twice at home
We have had Dundee twice at CP
We have been to Firhill twice already.
So on paper it’s
Aberdeen at CP
Hearts at Tynecastle
St Johnstone away
Dundee away
Motherwell/ Thistle at CP.

A point won at a difficult venue,putting us 5 points clear of our rivals.Whats the problem?.
We have a bit of a misfire going on up front at the moment.Griff is misfiring,making the wrong choices,and trying far too hard to fix it.Tonight he was all over the place.First touch terrible,missed a sitter,did not pass when he should have.No problem,anyone can be off form.It will come again.Plus points.Boyatta,p;ayed with a hat and coat on.Strolled it.Gordon,looking back to his best.Biton,good intelligent passing all night.
Broony looking fitter,but still off.RD has to think that GMS cannot be p;ayed same time as Roberts.Hopefully Rogic fit for Saturday.
Some on here have to realise that we can do nothing about a very good Aberdeen team winning their games.All this guff about we should be miles ahead,the talk of idiots who sound a bit hunnish to me with their supremacist attitude.
Not ecstatic,but content with our lead.

Bar a Tom Rogic screamer we could have put another set of results up.
Small difference though early 90’s we had no money and were up against a doped up Rangers. Now we have a vastly superior budget to any club and are struggling to win any game.
“Small difference though early 90’s we had no money and were up against a doped up Rangers. Now we have a vastly superior budget to any club and are struggling to win any game.”
Now that is a different argument altogether with a bit more merit in it.
Though I’d still change the penultimate word – “any” to “some”. And we always have struggled to win some- in every season I have watched.

When we have disappointing results like tonight, I often console myself that despite the monumental feck ups we are in the position everyone else would love to be.
Griffiths has been injury free and on form for the vast majority of the season, it’s a minor miracle, one that has saved the managers bacon and PL also.
To let the window shut with just Griffiths and a misfiring Ciftci with personal problems was imo a instant sackable offence for gross negligence.
Paul67 then did a piece asking if the fans wanted to win the league, when our CEO had taken a gamble of epic proportions, was insulting.
So the SFA have done the unthinkable, take this Celtic and res12 rebels.
Craig Thomson to referee the semi.
They are taunting us ffs.
The message is loud and clear cheat Celtic and you will reap the rewards.

Aberdeen are not great – better than the rest but not as good as us.
But their players look hungry. And they are fast learning how to win.
Our players look… like they’re lacking belief; in themselves, in the system they try to play.
Digging out the win on Saturday against the Minis from a defecit was a surprise and, I wondered at the time, if not a watershed moment that would bring the crucial belief that would get us not only over the line, but by steamrollering inferior opposition out to stifle our talent.
Then tonight, and heids are tucked firmly back in shells.
Where is the relentless drive to win that defines champions?
We’re too nice. Too easily intimidated. Opponents are given too much respect. Play like you’ve got a grudge against them. Play like your life depends on it. Play until they drop, not you.
We may find the entire season depends on the slender 19 year-old shoulders of Patrick Roberts.
Paul McGowan was the best player on the pitch tonight. He won every 2nd ball and was intelligent with it.
Our midfield couldn’t get near him or they couldn’t be arsed trying to get near him.
Dundee have our number. Ronny didnt know how to change it.
In reflection a point was a good outcome considering our lacklustre 90 mins.

6 games to go. Nobody is calling for your expects the manager to leave at this point. However I can’t believe that there are any Celtic supporters out there who have faith in the current team or management set up going into Europe next season. That is a sad state of affairs given the financial advantage and absence of ‘Rangers football club’ that we have enjoyed over the last four years. It barely seems credible to me that any CEO could be awarded to the tune of 1,000,000+ per year to oversee the state of affairs far away is that there should be elements Of our support Who feel he is worth every penny and more .
Substantial changes will be required next season if we are to reverse the damage done over the last few years .
I suspect attendance will rise in the short term but if we are fed more of the same next year this increase will be short lived.

There’s lies, damn lies and statistics.
Aberdeen have 68 points to date.
There precious 6 games’ stats are 4-1-1
If they continue that form in their final six games they will finish with 81 points.
We have 73 points to date.
Precious 6 games form are 3-3-0.
On the same track we would end up with 85 points.

‘If you’re good enough, the referee doesn’t matter.’
The problem for me from the, Boardroom, scouting, coaching to the performance on the pitch we aren’t good enough. Unless of course there is a Top Secret masterplan to address all of these areas yet to be unveiled.
If nothing changes then the referee, really does matter.
SFTBs made a vaild point about the monotony of the updates here during matches. Taking the Timposters out of the equation. Doesn’t the negative commentary simply reflect what people are watching?
The Resolution 12 issue is a test for the integrity and intentions of our Board, I really hope they don’t disappoint.

Any midfield set up like ours will struggle to create chances.
Brown and Johansen are hustlers but lack craft and ingenuity.Biton is a stalled engine with no obvious ability other than to slow the game down and allow opponents to set up defensively to face our hopeful punts to a small unsupported striker.
An all to familiar pattern with this coach.
On a narrow pitch we just keep shuffling it sideways and back with little purpose until someone gets bored and punts a hopeful cross.
This is not a post based on entitlement to win every game.
This is a post that could have been written after most games this season.
Lets hope we get over the finish line as this coach and his huge limitations have me worried.
fan-a-tic on
As an aside i think the squad is more than good enough to have strolled this league.
It’s the way the team has been put together that is the problem.
Giggsy
I agree that McGowan played well tonight but most players who operate in this area against us always seem to impress.
Our poorly implemented system leaves acres of space in this area that affords even limited players an opportunity to shine.
I don’t think that we are just unlucky to come up against great players in that area most games.
'GG on

With all our perceived limitations in front of goal our 76 goals are 21 more than our nearest rivals.
Combined with our dodgy defence, which has only conceded 24 goals in 32 games, 10 less than our nearest challenger, we have a GD of 52.
31 better than the team in second place.
Correction. Stingy Defence.

I have no issue with the defense and have said numerous time that Boyata will be good.
The area between centre mids and defense that is the problem.
It’s an area full of large gaps giving average opponents time to look way better than their actual talent.
We should score more goals than our league rivals as we have vastly superior players than most of our league opponents.
A lot of those goals had more to do with individual talent .
Also a lot of our goals plus came against a Hamilton side who chucked it.
It’s the chances created that is worrying.
Now that Griff has lost form our goal difference may be less at seasons end.
To me we have the players but the poor coaching and inability to implement a proper playing system is the worrying issue.
'GG on
FAN-A-TIC
I think we are in the midst of a fundamental change to the team and everything associated with the club’s recruitment, player development, player fitness and training.
The old guard will be moved over next season.
Mulgrew, Lustig, Izzy, Brown, Commons will either not play or be used very sparingly next season.
The future belongs to the youth.
Tierney, Eric, Boyata, Christie, Allan, Armstrong, GMS, Thomson, McGregor, the new Scandinavian, hopefully Henderson for whom I have a soft spot.
Where’s our partner for Leigh?
A chance for Nesbitt or Lafferty to step up?
'GG on
I see BBC Scotland are as spineless as usual with their headlines,
I won’t post a link. Suffice to say that their leading headline on BBC Scotland new site reads
Rangers Back in Premiership.
They obviously don’t include accuracy in their news reporting.
Rangers beat Dumbarton to seal the Championship title and promotion, meaning they will play Premiership football next season.
Despite the home side missing a host of chances, James Tavernier’s goal sealed victory at Ibrox.
It put Rangers 17 points clear at the top of the table with four games left.
It brought to an end a four-year journey from the bottom division to the top flight of Scottish football for the 54-time champions.
How can we tell them they are deluding themselves.

Broony couldn`t be sent off for a two footed tackle because he didn`t make a tackle.
The Hearts player was not in possession of the ball .
It was 50/50.
Broony went in for the ball with two feet and won the ball without contacting his opponent.
The Hearts player then fell over his legs.
My complaint to BBC.
You’d think I had better things to do.
Rangers were legally liquidated whether your Scottish staff have the spine or not to acknowledge that singular fact.
They were not relegated or voted out of the SPFL.
Their CVA attempt while in administration failed leaving hundreds of unpaid debts.
The BBC produced a definitive programme outlining the circumstances and the deception involved. I suggest your editors consult with the makers.
I would hope the headline is reviewed and changed, and a suitable prominent explanation is given.
