a strange feeling of being kind of ok about Rangers possibly scoring a late equaliser in that game 😆

Might be over for them but for us and Hearts I think there’s more twists in it. Motherwell could have a big say in where the title goes. If it’s goal difference that eventually decides it that could change as well in the next couple of games.

For Celtic first thing is that Rangers game. Need to be up for that, they might be almost out of the race now but will still come out all guns blazing especially at the start.

It's a two horse race now but still see there being a couple of twists before it ends. Can see Celtic and Hearts dropping points. it could well be all over for Rangers by kickoff next Sunday

If Dermot Desmond remains in control he’ll want Robbie Keane with Scott Brown as assistant.

Rohl did fine after Martin, but he has failed in all big games so far. At Tynecastle for example it was clear McInnes changed it at HT simply by adding a player in midfield, which changed the entire game. Rohl either didn't see it, or refused to change his own team to adapt to it.

It's happened several times as well where he either sets up the team wrong and has to make changes to fix his own mistakes, or the team start well and then sit back (which happens too often to be coincidence, so it's likely his instructions).

It's clear he's a young manager still learning the trade, but at a club like Rangers you don't tend to get a lot of time before the fans turn. I think it would be interesting to see what happens if he gets a full pre-season and a transfer window, but I can't see it happening if Rangers end up third, which looks very likely. Too much money was spent for that.

Think Hearts were robbed of a penalty there...seemed a stonewall but VAR said no

We’d have to get by the Scottish referees, I can’t see that unfortunately. I think we are in for some outrageous decisions against over the last few games.

Celtic happy with a draw here? Would they be confident of beating Motherwell?

When it left his boot I was instinctively thinking oh just one of those weak poorly aimed bicycle kicks that the goalie collects with his eyes closed…

This is actually hilarious. Do you really think Scottish referees are anti-Celtic ?

As for the league: It's Celtic's to lose now.

Celtic should have gotten a red card for the foul on Moore and your equaliser was clearly offside. There's nothing to indicate there is some conspiracy to prevent you from winning the league.

That said, it was a deserved win, Rangers were terrible and surely this is the end of the Rohl experiment.

It was not a red card offence and any offside player did not impinge on the sightline of Butland (Yang was clearly not offside). You must have missed the elbow in the head on Engels from Barron.

Of course it was a red card offense, he followed through right on his ankle.

And Nygren was literally right in front of Butland. The latter one was identical to a goal that Hearts got disallowed.

I'm also not interested in your whataboutery, the initial point was that this idea about how there are refs out to get Celtic is insane. It's been years since I've been in this thread until recently but glad to see nothing has changed regarding some posters and their need to feel downtrodden.
