Agreed - and your point on Mowbray is right too, but I suspect Celtics passing game can work better in Scotland than WBA in England given Celtic have the most money in the league they should have better quality players to put the passing game in place. But you need to combine it with some finished product and they need to be in the market for a quality striker. Rangers have always been expert at taking chances and maximising their opportunities, thats what celtic need to do on Sunday. They do not do this under Mowbray, so far.

Celtic shots on target about 10 to rangers 1. But no excuse for not taking chances. Celtic have one player who takes his chances and he was on the bench for 70 minutes. Not understanding the need to have a proper goalscorer on the pitch is celtics biggest mistake.

Rangers will be pleased as they had some key players out.

Aiden McGeady was unplayable today.

Quite enjoyed the Old Firm clash - Celtic played some good football.


Congrats to Leeds United but would they have dominated the game if United's best player Darren Fletcher had been available for selection (remember how United only lost to Barcelona in CL final because their dynamic midfield maestro was banned).

Right now, I could not be happier.


Leeds certainly didn't look two leagues lower and imo Fletcher would have made no difference. Howson, Beckford and Naylor were a solid spine that never wilted against Man Utd. Snodgrass hit the bar and we had more than enough chances to score more than one.


A return to the top flight cannot be far away now.


Altogether a cracking game. Although how Wes Brown stayed on the pitch I don't know.

Yes - it was a very good team performance - Celtic were more classy and more determined - played a high intensity passing game - if only for the finishing...

That's what MU fans like to believe, but to be honest they were outclassed that night.

Deserved to win the final against Barcelona? you are joking Matt surely?


In 1999 they were the best team in the competition without doubt, but Bayern should have won the final, if only because Keane and Scholes were missing. Had MU they been full strength they might have won comfortably.

    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
