Rangers? That wasn’t even a Basket of Assets

By on CQN BLOG & Comments

They can call themselves whatever insolvency practitioners allow them to be called, but even the court assertion, that Charles Green bought a Basket of Assets, not a football club, seems overly optimistic. That lot look more like a Basket of Liabilities than assets.

I told you Joey Barton was a good Celtic man, there to take their money, and self-respect. Their big former Arsenal centre half is four years younger than our big former Arsenal centre half, but good grief! You could forgive him for being short of pace, but acting like an immature simpleton is unforgivable.

Moussa Dembele’s Perfect Hat-trick (one with the head, one with the right, one with the left), was a charm. We watched Henrik give us so much, he deserved to score a hat-trick against Oldco Rangers, but the history book was closed on that one with Harry Hood’s in the League Cup in 43 years ago.

I have witnesses to saying “We’ll have to settle for five instead of seven”, when hearing Leigh Griffiths would miss out today. Dembele (20), put in a performance which defied his inexperience. He looked like the £20m player some think we’ve signed. What’s more, he’ll continue to improve.

Tom Rogic had clearly been identified as our most dangerous creative player. He was hacked throughout, before retiring early in the second half. Scott Brown and Nir Bitton were also on top of their game, controlling the crucial central area.

Both full backs, Mikael Lustig and Kieran Tierney, got assists, as they created width to allow the central players to do their stuff.

Brendan Rodgers will hopefully highlight that the only two attempts on goal we conceded came a moment after we scored, near the end of each half. Teams notoriously lose concentration after scoring.

I’m off to find out who their no. 4 was. I’ve him down for two assists on his own. Liabilities, to a man – the keeper apart, who did well.

    The millionaire Hooray Henry’s at the Proms raised £112.000 for charity. Slightly less than the fantastic GB raised for the Palestinian people. Just commenting.

    Robert Tressell: Great idea, but I don’t do Twitter. Does he have an email address?

     

     

    Bhoylo: that’s a great idea, why didn’t I think of that?

     

     

    I’ll be over on the 24th, will you be there?

    NYE BEVANS’ REBEL SOLDIER on 10TH SEPTEMBER 2016 4:08 PM

     

    Harry Hood was my bhoyhood hero, I was there that night,

     

     

    my God did it rain.

     

    ………..,,,,..

     

     

    I was there with a crowd of mates. We were up in the Celtic End and were soaked through to the scanties by the horizontal, torrential rain. It was actually hard to identify the players. They were all soaked to the skin with matted black hair from the rain. My mate said that he didn’t think Harry Hood had played well. I argued with him and told him that Harry had scored two goals. It wasn’t until we got back to the Eagle Inn in Coatbridge that we found out he had scored a hat trick and had another disallowed. A great night.

    AAFG,

     

     

    Good to see you posting. Hope all is well with you.

     

     

    Corkcelt.

     

     

    I, too thought we played well today. Our passing and control was much better than v Aberdeen.

     

     

    When Dembele played Sinclair in, I immediately thought of Xavi.

     

     

    Armstrong and Mc.Gregor are very valuable members of the squad.

     

    Calum’s movement, vision and quick feet kept us in cruise control till the end.

    Bhoylo: Enjoy. Never been out that way.

     

     

    Dena: Great to see you on here last night, hope all is well with you.

    What a day! That was just lovely. How are WE going to cope with 2 hot strikers? Terrible predicament or Brendan. Ah well, just have to play them both. lol.

  31. RobertTressell on

    Aberdeen are having a poor start to the season. Has mcinnes taken them as far as he can? Saw some Aberdeen comments on Twitter – getting a bit restless.

     

     

    5 points from 5 games frankly not good enough.

    Moonbeams.

     

    Roy Croppie put the link up of The standing section singing Grace then Moussa scoring about 2/3 pages back.

     

    Hail Hail.

    High 5’s on Monday with the mankies in the work, lol. Especially the really sleekit wan. My answer to everything will be 5!

     

     

    What time do you finish tonight?

     

    “5!”

     

     

    What time you on lunch?

     

    “Five to one!”

     

     

    Loved that wee pass from Moussa (which incidentally means Moses) that parted the Hun defense for Scotty’s goal. Even better when SS drilled it in at the near post.

    Brilliant result today.

     

    Thought I’d be more excited about it than I was. Felt about the same as the win against Aberdeen. Guess I don’t rate sevco much then? :)
