dundee 0-0 rangers

3pt gap and +5 gd [full pendulum swing back to celtic]

'Rangers have now only won two of their latest eight games.'

'For the second game in a row, a stranger to Scottish football would have had difficulty picking out this Rangers team as the title contenders.'

'Liel Abada says his first goal in the MLS was a sweet moment after a "very, very difficult time in Scotland" as the former Celtic winger was named man of the match in Charlotte's 3-2 win against Toronto. (Scottish Sun)'

the pendulum swinging back a little bit...

so far... ross 3-1 rangers
IF rangers lose, the view from the other side should be interesting

the -2 gd would be like an xtra point for celtic in such a tight race

edit

3-2

'There's a handball check. It hits Brandon Khela, who's only just on. The slow-mo reveals... it does hit the hand of Khela. It's unfortunate, the ball sails in from a cross, skims off the head of Eli King and hits Khela quite accidentally, but these tend to get given.'

2-0 up at half time away from home to your title rivals and you don't close out the win???

Absolutely pathetic. Rodgers' career is littered with this stuff. When did one of his teams ever do it to someone else in a game that mattered???



"Criminal" defending allowed Palace to come back from 3-0 down with just 11 minutes remaining thanks to Damien Delaney's goal and two from Dwight Gayle.

Although a point took Liverpool back to the top of the table with one match to play, City have a game in hand."

agree about Yang - a red card and a non-tackle (for rangers'third)
is callum's time coming to an end?

the view from the other side -

[kev0856153] 08/4/2024 20:56

That's my thinking as well. It was a very good result yesterday but disappointing the way it was achieved. The bookies have them as 4/7 title favourites though. We are 5/4. These odds just look too good with the last OF at our patch.

I would say it's Celtic's to lose, 6 games, 4 at home and 2 away whilst Rangers have 2 at home and 5 away.

Can see Celtic winning their 6 games if they keep squad fit and keep Yang off the pitch.

rangers' title to lose and take a huge jump financially in new format CL

yes and with a superior manager they could really drive home the advantage and widen the gap.

Which is what Celtic should have done this season and next but for the inadequate Brendan Rodgers.

3-3

£123m profit reported by Brighton last year!

it will just paper over the cracks.

Brendan Rodgers is an inadequate manager who inherited a strong squad and has not advanced the squad one jot through coaching or acquisition.

But could Celtic realistically recruit a superior? I say YES, using the cash balance to invest in a better manager who will repay the club through transfer fees and stronger campaigns in Europe. Rangers have managed to bring in better.

if celtic win league and fa cup, it will just paper over the cracks?
many of the east asian lads will depart in the summer?

no problem wrtmf just arguing out the 'football' of it.

Brilliant stuff 'The Battle to Save Celtic' with David Low on youtube.

outrageous, given the league differences over the last 14 or so years between the 2 and considering celtic player sales

'Rangers can overtake Celtic financially if they win the Scottish Premiership this season to qualify for the new Champions League format in 2024-25, with the money earned being enough to close the £36m gap between the Old Firm rivals'

asagi
i just put up the article title, i didn't set out a case that an injustice was being done to scottish clubs. of course, celtic guilty.

[asagi] 17/3/2024 13:40

wrtmf has mentioned a BBC article that states: "Scotland will lose its automatic Champions League place in season 2025-26 if Viktoria Plzen secure at least a draw in either leg of their Conference League last-eight tie with Fiorentina".

I'd counter that it is Celtic's failure to grind out anything other than a defeat in the Champions League that has cost Scotland.

team news

'Celtic have lost Yang Hyun-jun to suspension following his failed appeal against his red card against Hearts. The holders remain without midfielders Callum McGregor (Achilles/calf) and Reo Hatate (calf) along with defender Maik Nawrocki (hamstring). Liel Abada has left the club and Alexandro Bernabei has moved on loan'

[kev0856153] 03/3/2024 20:39

McGregor's absence leaves a big hole in the midfield.

£8M for Abada is a good bit of business.
