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.

    • For every person like OP that moans their doorbell was rung and there was a knock on the door, there's someone else moaning that they didn't hear the delivery drivers. If you've ever done delivery work you'll know that loads of people's bells don't work. The delivery drivers probably goes to a hundred doors a day: press bell, knock door, drop package, move on. If you don't like delivery drivers, insist on delivery by Royal Mail where the workers have wages and a union - or just stop ordering shit online that's artificially cheap. But most of us (me included) don't want that
    • If someone comes to my house and bangs my door and slams my gate, I'd speak to them about it nicely and ask if they would please not do that. And then subsequently less nicely if they keep doing it, ending in reporting them.  We don't slam doors at home and I don't put up with that either. I can see us moving to a culture where we bribe drivers to be nice by tipping them, but we shouldn't have to. It's not necessary - does not matter if they are on minimum wage or not, or if society means that delivery services are outsourced or whatever reason anyone would like to concoct.     
    • We’ve got a gap on the roof of our shed that needs patching  don’t want to buy a huge roll so hoping someone has some leftover  happy to collect/reimburse 
    • I never said I thought it was targeted or deliberate. There also has never been a “stand off” or confrontation, we’ve spoken to them in a friendly manner about it. Our experience is they don’t seem to care. That’s the frustrating thing for us, if someone politely raises a concern at least take a second to reflect. Treat others how you would want to be treated.  I don’t want them to lose their job, far from it. But considering it could cost me a days work to fix any damage, I’m within my right to try prevent it.
