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. Hail! Hail! From a still sunny Tenerife. Delighted by today’s events, a bonus as that odious turd Mourinho had his arse spanked also.

     

    tried to post earlier however my Internet was slower than Senderos and I toiled like he did. Can you imagine his fear when he was facedwith 20 year old version of Drogba ? Poor wee lamb.

     

    anyway, tonight I will be sporting my Lisbon Lions t shirt on my pre and post dinner stroll. Any Hoops fans over here can buy me a drink, feel free.

     

    loved the post match interviews from our manager and captain.

     

    stay safe and enjoy the moment..

  2. @Parkheadcumsalford….Thought the same…..

     

    Wee trip to Morrisons in Greenock and the young Hoops where everywhere…

     

    Young Bhoys on their own ….groups of 4 etc…… All happy and behaving…

     

    Greenock is Green and White:)

     

     

     

     

    H.H.

  3. Just posted all the goals but for some reason awaiting moderation? Never saw that before. Considering Paul67 is probably up to his knees in Guinness right now… may be a while before it’s accepted..

  4. Can you imagine if we got out of 2nd gear. Controlled performance from start to finish. To be expected given the wee diddy team we were playing.

     

     

    I heard someone joking say that Spew Heevins plumped for Sevco to win the league this season. I’m not sure if guy was joking or Spew felt the need to come out with such dross to get the easily upset Celtic fans to call. If it’s the latter, no matter his intention if he did go say that he just looked a fool.

     

     

    Numpty behind me today in FS2 suggested we stop at 3-1 and not embarrass Sevco this early in season. I’ve heard him talk to his dad a lot about rugby at games. Maybe he should stick to being nice and go watch the egg chasers. I told him we need to ram it down them and put the imaginary club in their place.

     

     

    Seriously!!! C’mon mate.

     

     

    Anyway. No more Huns at Celtic Park. Today’s disgraceful scenes in the bowels of our stadium should be, but our PLC won’t, published for all media outlets world wide by our club. Pictures should be sent to every media newspaper and TV station Europe and world wide. Dirty HUN scum.

     

     

    Now back to playing big teams.

  5. Fabulous performance by the Bhoys. Great energy, speed and skill. Broonie totally outplayed Barton and Senderos is a joke. Only 65 year old Miller, McKay and Tavernier looked ok for them….the rest of them are awful. By all accounts Warburton was a pretty decent guy when he joined them……just shows that being surrounded by such vile creatures poisons people.

     

    Now for the great Barca and their terrific support.

  6. Apologies. Jock was 42 when he became manager of Celtic. Brendan is 43. Although to be fair Brendan looks much younger. But he didn’t have to go down the mines in his youth. Hh

  7. Prayed all week for 1 – 0, thank you Lord for the 5 – 1. Long way to go, eyes fixed on the prize for the the big Senderous!

  8. Brendan a top manager and human being, interview about his dad and Jock, Moving stuff.

  9. I still believe Aberdeen will be our closest challengers and we are 6 points clear of them with a game in hand.

     

    When you consider the start we had, The Hearts, The Sheep & The Shit amongst our first four games. I have a sneaky feeling that the guys who compiled the fixture list didn’t quite anticipate this. Gave us what they considered the tough games early season when we were also trying to qualify for Europe.

     

    p.s. Our goal difference already worth an extra point.

  10. I agree Corkcelt,

     

     

     

    where do these find these so called celtic fans that arent happy because we beat a poor sevco team. I want a good rangers team. Where are these guys ? never met one.

  11. Sky sports executives must be bricking it. They built this game up to be the game of the decade and we wiped the floor with them with room to spare. And another 2 or 3 similar games to come.

  12. bbc news online reporting the damage to the toilets police scotland are aware but say it getting treated internally buy club

  13. Warbo and his troops getting it tight on various Sevco facing (anti)social media.

     

     

    Lack of self awareness about how their own lack of attention has led them to where they are today is much in evidence. The need for an overlord sugar daddy type to charge in on a white horse and save them is still there. They can’t even get a humpy backed Dutch guy to muster an army at the behest of the pope to help them these days. Modern day Kings is rubbish.

    I have found myself wondering how the hacks who have served up so much shite in the last week, will find a way to convince us that this wasn’t really the ‘Old Firm,.

    So, Mr Stein was already into his mid-life crisis ?

  16. The tragic hat, Sounds like a panicked fool. Way out his depth. Interesting read today from JJ make you think about this guy. First signs of pressure and he hides, He has never been put under any pressure apart from today and cup final and he has hid. I read some Celtic fans saying he seems like a decent guy, Not for me. Disrespectful and has a false sense of superiority. Clown.

    Suggest that Celtic get the money before THEY become a busted flush again Pun intended.

  18. However BBC news did not say which end [the damage to the toilets]was at or which set of supporters did it.Of course nobody would be in any doubt who thought about it for 2 seconds.However a deliberate attempt to tar all with the same brush.

  19. How does it feel?…………….

     

    I’m sure theres a song wae those lyrics …It’s drivin me nuts….

  20. Just catching up, so apologies if it’s already been discussed, but did the match programme have anything to say about the history of the fixture or of the two clubs involved?

    For Feck’s Sake. Don’t you know that in Scotland, one must always be as bad as the other.

  23. I actually felt sympathy for Warburton in his post match interview. I’m no expert but I think he was suffering from PTSS.

  24. Last post from me went awol?

     

    Anyway thanks for the goals link, lovely to see them again and again. ..as I tried to say earlier have been well behaved with the drink so far over here, but tonight I will over indulge.

     

    I am planning another 5K tomorrow before Mass and hope this will right my wrongs, what do you think?

  25. Saint Stivs says SACK THE BOARD on

    31 goals in 11 competitive matches.

     

     

    15 of which come in 4 league games.

     

     

    just caught up on the goals, the thing that sticks out pure quality. Sinky, Dembele & Toure, really are a step up in capability.

     

     

    ps,

     

    huns goal was offside.

     

     

    pps,
