Re: Rangers v Celtic

#2 - celtic set the precedent Setting a precedent doesn't excuse the disrespect on the day. I condemned our lot so I am entitled to condemn their lot. No one set a precedent in my opinion as it has been back and forth for well over a century. Saying one or the other set a precedent is not dealing w...

Re: Rangers v Celtic

I don't buy in to the good guys/bad guys narrative as there are idiots and bigots on both sides of the divide.

Re: Rangers v Celtic

Celtic 2 v Rangers 1 in Scottish League Cup Final. Was a pretty even game for spells though the best team won in the end. Unbelievable that Celtic failed to net a third in the dying stages when Rangers went all out to chase the equaliser. When Celtic went 2-0 up through a Kyogo double it looked all ...

In 1990 – 91 we won the league with a 2 point deduction and with captain Tony banged up for a bit. Points deduction phtttt. Has Ian Wright commented yet?

Perhaps cloak and dagger (failing medical or not) but I would highly doubt it.
