Rangers blew it there. On balance of play and chances it was definitely a smash-and-grab job by Celtic. They were also fortunate that there's no VAR in this competition otherwise the goal would have been disallowed for offside. Rangers (and Morelos in particular) wasted so many chances. Morelos' penalty was shit, and after that he just lost his head, lacking composure in promising positions, trying to win penalties and fouling the opposition. He's like a much better version of El Hadji Diouf. He even looks a bit like him.

 

The choice of Chris Sutton as co-commentator was a poor one. Obviously he has links with Celtic but his opinions on what was actual happening in the match belong on Celtic TV rather than a national channel like BT Sport.

Not just the Celtic goal on VAR, Rangers should have had a obvious pen too. Not that would have scored it the form Forster was in

Forster made one excellent save high to his left in the first half. Then spilled one through his legs about 10 minutes later which a player had to clear. All the other saves he made were what you'd expect a keeper to make.

 

Rangers finishing was shite. Twice Morelos could have squared the ball to Kent to virtually roll in the net but no, he had to have a pop himself and missed every one. Im surprised given he was missing everything that he took the pen which was also shit. Forster didnt have to move much to block it.

 

As the game wore on, you got the feeling Rangers were not going to score. Defoe came on and you didnt hear of him for 5 minutes after he did. Stevie will be gutted as well as being absolutely pissed wet through.

I forgot they still bother with football in Scotland, how quaint.

 

It was terrible.

Apparently you get the odd decent left back from up there.

 

Maybe every country where Football isn't financially doped by Rupert Murdoch should just pack it all in & leave it to 'The Best League In The World'.

Kinda assumed they had after watching today TBF.

Aye it was shite but so are 90% of games in England and that's with teams like Bournemouth spending more on one player than Dundee Utd probably have in their entire history.

It was fine, just taking the piss.

 

It's not the best quality, but nice to see passion, especially from that Celtic captain who really embodies his team, great leadrship from John Knox. Really lead by example.

Ha ha, Oliver Cromwell looked a prospect at right back too.
