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.

    • Big recommendation for Stephen Viccary who has created a magnificent bathroom for us. Quality of work is absolutely top notch. We couldn't be happier - see pics.  Stephen is considerate and tidy meaning working from home during the work was fine (some noise - obviously, it is a demo and installation after all. He does not work on multiple jobs, does a full days work and does ALL the work himself - Tiling, plumbing, lighting (including lighting on a motion sensor under the vanity and in the shower niche - for night time visits 😉), he even changed the door architraves, sorted the badly cracked ceiling and did all the paint work. A full end to end service. Stephen's number - 07941 266 145
    • Highly recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening.  When he came to quote Saied said he’d give our garden back so we could decide what we do next.  Under two weeks of hard work from Saied and Mo and we have the garden back and can see paving I’d forgotten about. Not only did Saied remove our very overgrown greenery. Nature had taken over. He also took back to our fence line overgrown ivy, apple and pear trees and and dealt with a neighbours bamboo that had invaded our garden.  We are now going to get quotes for what we do next so those quoting will be able to see the space.  Saied has suggested someone to quote and will be coming back when he does in case he has any questions or they can work together.  I thought Saied would be a good choice and he was. Quotes from others didn’t leave me with confidence for the end result. That was never a concern with Saied.
    • Having a BBQ (fingers crossed) in 2 weeks and need a small BBQ for veggie bits and any spare benches or garden tables and chairs to borrow to add to mine. Any going? Thanks in advance...
