Rangers? That wasn’t even a Basket of Assets

891

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.

  1. The Imposters took one hell of a doing today. The new team are worse than than the deid team. We killed of the first lot and we’ll bury this new mob as well. And the Celts go marching on.

  2. RT: go raibh maith agat.

     

     

    GFTB: Breithlá sona do d’iníon. (Birthday wishes to your daughter)

     

     

    I only saw the last 20 mins but I knew the HT score was 2-1. At that stage I predicted 4-1 to the good ghuys.

     

     

    Anyone know if Sky will show the full match again?

    Thank you – wasn’t sure anyone would remember or care about this grumpy aul git.

     

    74 years old and unfortunately still smoking so you can work out how I’m doing

     

    Still here

     

    Still able to pay my monthly bills, utilities etc so not doing too badly

     

    Just don’t care anymore – whatever happens, happens.

     

    Take care everyone

     

    Regards

  4. Alaves got a very rare result at Barca tonight, winning 2 1. It was a very disciplined defence and quick breaks that did the job. We haven’t got to that standard yet, but we will. It just shows you that even Barca can have a bad day at the office.

     

    If we come away with an away goal and don’t ship any more than three goals, I’ll be delighted. :)

  7. TCR, EDB & Almore much appreciated it’s been no a bad day, the wee blade doesn’t like football but tonight she shouted “Mum 5-1 to us” that’s good enough for me

    There are some fans who really want to find something to be disappointed about today. Glad you found yours.

     

     

    Mine was passing Jim Murphy in the concourse. Always saddens me that he is a Bhoy. But I supposs at least he has something with a moral backbone in his life.

     

     

    Just saying like.

  9. The Honest Cover-up on

    AAFG

     

    I can honestly see Barton asking for his contract to be torn up by Christmas. He is a wealthy man and (somehow) has the platform to carve an easy career in the media down south. Being shown up in Scotland does his reputation no favours and he really could do without the hassle. He no longer has the legs to match his big mouth, if he ever did. Cold nights away to Hamilton Accies against a bunch of boys desperate to humiliate him will be even less appealing than today was. I hope he stays and continues to bleed a huge salary from them, along with Krankjar and Senderos.

     

    What a mess they are in. Instead of targeting a 3 year plan to become competitive in the top flight they have blown a fortune on supposedly top experienced players I suppose a superiority complex and an unspeakable fear of ten-in-a-row does that.

     

     

    Think we are in for a treat this season. Players look fit and happy, money is pouring into the club and we have a manager who knows what he is doing and crucially, is loving being here.

  10. Eldiegobhoy.

     

    Great to see you posting.

     

    Hopefully that result and performance gave you a lift.

     

    No matter how humble you are, my thoughts are that you are a brave man.

     

    Hail Hail.

     

    And hopefully I will meet you before the end of the season too.

  11. Goodnight champions….

     

    An awfy braw day….

     

    JNP and EDB…..

     

     

    Thoughts are with you and yours…..

     

     

    Braw.

  12. Brendan Rogers

     

     

    Can even play the media

     

     

    By the way are we not meant to score when oor Leigh isn’t playing ?

    Has Joey Barton retired yet?

     

    —-

     

     

    Yes. His retirement began at noon today.

  14. Tricoloured Ribbon on

    Am I mistaken here or what?

     

    Did Warburton want Lustig dismissed for a second yellow card when he hadn’t been booked?

  15. Senderoff. Dear oh dear. It would be funny if it wasn’t so sad to watch. As for Krankie. He cannae even remember his best days. An absolute excuse of a football team who didn’t deserve the right to grace our pitch.

    AAFG = Another Alex Fae Govan

     

    Same age as the other one, but I’m not a sir

     

    Started out at 10 Greenhaugh St. the close beside the old Govan X subway station – all gone now.

     

    Hope this helps – don’t have a clue why anyone cares.

     

    I have tons of other useless information also.

     

    Regards

  17. What is the Stars on

    TCR

     

     

    Yes Warbs seems to think that Lustig was booked already

     

    Roberts was closing in on the Rangers player although it was Lustig who fouled.

     

    I think Roberts was on a yellow

     

    Poor old Warbs he looked like a worried man…..and you know yourself all dem fenians look the same
