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. Any tweets from wee Joey yet ?

     

     

    Also , do you think the magic twat now realises what he’s in for this season ?

  2. For all the fans who didn’t want to go today I understand and respect your views.

     

    But boy did I enjoy that! 10 more minutes and we could have repeated 7-1.

     

    Garner is made for Rangers. Falling about and no respect for fellow professionals. I believe he is well known for it down south.

     

    Brendan – brilliant put down of the Sky reporter. Your card has been marked.

     

    Let the people sing!

     

    Ernie Lynch – your attempts to sow discontent always make me laugh. Sometimes in life it is important to enjoy the moment.

  3. I know that yeez awe hate Hugh Keevins but,….

     

    he lobbed in a grenade at the end of the phone-in

     

    there with his – “I think that Celtic will win 10 in a row.”

     

    Ah liked it.

  4. Was Lustig booked? I thought he was in 1st half but thinking back it was Nir after breaking a zombie counter attack.

     

    If he wasn’t then all the more reason to laugh at that clown Warbles.

  5. Senderos is allegedly on £16k p/w

     

     

    It just gets better.

     

     

    Barton and kranjcar both getting more. £50-£60k a week on the three of them a very conservative estimate of their combined wages.

     

     

    Oh my good god!

    The sad thing is Celtic had the chance to break free of the Old Firm crap.

     

     

    But the board chose not to.

     

     

    And the reason they chose not to do so is, at least in part, because a lot of Celtic fans didn’t want to.

  7. All this with LG in the stands. To be fair we could have brought Rod on and he would have out run the sevco defence.

    Thanks for confirming.

     

    Major gripe (although not unexpected) is Sky’s insistence on making the highlights look like it was a tight game and as a consequence making the zombs look half decent.

     

    They should research their own interviews and point out that Warbles was wibbling woefully (stop it) to claim Lustig had been previously booked.

  9. Neilbhoy – it will happen. 7-1 or better.

     

     

    My feeling in it will be that it would be funny, enjoyable, no more than karma owes everyone ….. But the original 7-1 was against a good (shudder) rangers team and much against the run of form.

     

     

    It’s a different beast these days. Regular spankings will have the fans of newco hoping they don’t have to play us in the cups.

     

     

    I think I’m going to enjoy watching the Dons hump them. I’ll tolerate hearts beating them and then the Ross counties and others making life awkward. Sitting on 8 points and -2 GD after 5 games – there is a very real chance that it could take them a month from now to hit double figures for points. I might be greedy hoping the same could be said for them hitting -10 before they do….. But it’s possible.

  11. Today was our final chance to call out the big lie. From henceforth sevco will claim their unbroken history and 54 titles without contradiction. And we let it happen. For what ?

    Well that was a jouous performance to behold and what a game for Dembele.

     

     

    Can I thank everyone who took on the Sevco challenge and offered to pay at least £3 per goal scored to my charity sleepout page.

    Brilliant performance by Celtic.

    Thanks again

    Just watched the interview with Warburton,brilliant. The game apparently changed when I guy who hadn’t been booked should have received a second yellow. David Weir was so enraged by this injustice he got himself sent to the stand. Lol.

    Level 5: The toilets brought it on themselves.

     

     

    Someone yanked their chain?

    Well the deluded delusional delusions are all over now.

     

     

    A new hunskelper was born.

    The supremacies have given way to reality.

     

     

    Magic hat trick

     

    Magic five stars

     

    Just magic.

     

    Whatever they’re called I dont care.

     

    They now know their place.

    Re the toilets – they were coloured green, provoking rangers minded people. Any set of fans would have done the same.
