The world looked so different for Scottish Football League chief executive, David Longmuir, back in March. He convinced half of the member clubs to reject a deal which would earn them considerably more money next season, while enjoying the accolades of Rangers International chief exec, Charles Green.
Green remains a controlling director of Rangers International, but Longmuir’s actions infuriated First Division clubs, who have now applied to join the SPL, furious at his attempts to subvert them earning what many see as crucial income next season.
To suggest Longmuir acted in the interests of one Third Division club to the considerable detriment of all First Division clubs would be stating the obvious. These shenanigans still go on in Scottish football, even now, after all that happened last year, but it is reassuring that the overwhelming majority of voices have, again, said, ‘On your (boardroom) bike’. We are rapidly becoming one of the least corrupt countries football is played in the world. Good luck to all in the First Division.
I read the leaked document, Rangers (sic): the way forward, yesterday afternoon. It was so ludicrously lacking in anything which remotely resembled substance I assumed the leak was an attempt to discredit Charles Green. Then I heard BBC’s Chris McLaughlin say it was Green himself behind the leak. The fact that the Rangers International director categorically recognised the club is lumbered with a lame manager hardly passes for insight. The document was embarrassingly inept.
“The team will work for each other and press the opponents when not in possession.
“Most of all, players will come off the park knowing that they have done their best.”
In a high-level policy document this is cringeworthy.

Starry plough
Changing the players is not the issue.I think a squad rotation is vital over a long season.
Lack of a properly implemented playing system is a real worry.
Hit the nail squarely on the head. The commentator been making the point full 2nd half , no playing system
Painful for a lot to see
Hail hail
Should have said prices.
TT
Summa – it was you that told me ;-))
Last chance for us

I think Efe will be the player of the Year next season.
Nice play Rogic
Paddy blocked inside rc half
One to forget
Not good enough.
So a draw it is
Summa’s breeks more dangerous than the flares of the green brigade.
FK RC and game ends 1-1
Poor game Poor Pitch Poor result
Horrific game of football. Cap doffed to the fans who trailed away up there to watch that garbage
.
Paddy McCourt is like a New Anton Rogan..

We didn’t have any dominance in midfield at all today
Piss poor again Celtic
Trophy presentation next weekend will make us forget today
Not the finest match I’ve ever watched.
Not too happy but better than last week.
Very poor Celtic. Time to get a few new hungry players in
Effe, Gershon, McCourt and a few others wont be there next season.
Well that wasn’t very good. I texted my nephew after we scored early to say that was bad news. Too many games away from home we’ve started well then faded. I actually thought Izzy was okay and EA had a real stinker. End of season fare on a carrot field- doesn’t matter I know but I’d rather we’d won
Jimbo
I’m now feeling decidedly sleepy….
Impossible situation, nightmare pitch, thought Dylan was our best player, apart from Tony Watt’s goal which should have won us the game, a draw was a fair result.

Scotland…worsist match officials ..worsist commentators on the planet..FACT.

I’m not gonnae argue with you, especially as you have Bada Bing in your company. ;))
The Nephilim is a Biblical story but when seeing so many Giants….. och
what is our record against the top 6 – cannot be very impressive – and gives the other 5 increased confidence for next year – they will not fear playing against celtic at all next season – with no rangers to play – the other teams confidence is not dented as many times per season –
No real system; not for the first time. I’d like to think we can learn from these experiences but wouldn’t like to have been holding my breath waiting for progress.
Didn’t see the game , followed it on here . Seems to me we didn’t play very well ( again ) on a p*ss poor pitch and were robbed by cheating officials .
Just about sums up Scottish football .
The pitch is a disgrace. Likewise the match officials. But Celtic don’t have a clue how to play against an agricultural team like Ross County. Today the team was like a bunch of strangers. That was Efe’s worst game by far. I like the guy, but he can’t play central midfield. Outside the penalty area Tony Stokes is a liability, can’t control the ball with his first touch, so our attacks keep breaking down. Tony Watt the only bright spot. And Zaluska had a decent game.

You missing that dead team?
Do you even spend your money at Celtic Park?

Take care buddy
ledley is one of the highest paid players at CP – when does he come back from holiday ?
Really annoyed..Disgusted with that.
Look forward to game all week and watch that. Feel sorry for boys who are forking out £30/50 every week.
Ambrose brought off 89th min..whats point at that stage
Midfield shape wasnt working.. Shoulda been changed at half time.
Pitch isnt an excuse..if its awful but if ross county can knock the ball around i expect any glasgow celtic side to do same.
Actually dreading the cup final at the moment.
Gersham, ambrose, zaluska, kayal,lassad,izzy,miku,bangura , mccourt should all be off the wage bill asap.
2hrs of my life wasted, terrible pitch,terrible players,competition to see who could kick the ball furthest, great advert for scottish fitba/rugby.
As has been pointed out we have no system,strength or pace.
Today’s game typical of the fare on offer in the English premiership. Difference being that it’s difficult to play football on a ploughed field. Teams resort to kick and rush/long ball to the big man tactics. Add in the spice of MIBs and you boot the entertainment out of the game.
We hiv a Draw.
Hmmmmmmm.
Ross Need tae Re-Turf Thur Pitch.
Kojo
Unhappy.
This will be the co-commentator

It was a day for whacking high balls into the box and hoping something will break for you but we are not geared for that type of play. Thought we did well enough to get a draw, taking into account we had a good goal chalked off and had one taken off the line.
