not good enough, a wake up call. last season's glory won't be enough to get through this season, looks like there's a lot of work needed to get properly into shape

they should install these outside the stadium

even the BBC carrying the story that he was called an orange bastard

Carrickfergus, Larne, Ballymena, Coleraine, Newtownards, East Belfast...........

having seen the change in Lafferty playing for Northern Ireland over the last few years, I knew it'd be different this time round at Ibrox. whatever he did, Michael O'Neill got Lafferty to focus on being as good as he can possibly be - when I watch him now it seems that he understands that playing for his country and now Rangers is the pinnacle of his career and deserves his very best. That's about as much as we can hope for from any player.

you've nailed it

lmao if Salah, Mane and Firmino turn up

beat them 2-1, then 3-1, 4-0 and 6-0 leaving Brendan a quivering wreck

exactly, that wee sh*te was just doing it for the cameras - waving cheerio to empty stands

Thumb and Brown when they came back with their champions t-shirts on

up sh*t creek without a paddle oops! we're already there!

Torn between wanting to see Brady achieve something incredible or seeing Philly win their first Superbowl. Tough call.

It's only a matter of time before the lack of genuine competition brings the media around to backing the underdog and questioning celtic - they have to have something to write about. With no clear prospect of celtic facing a serious challenge on the field, bored journos will start getting picky about how they behave. Maybe this is a beginning of that process.

Some of these guys probably wish they played for them. The whole set up is crap. How can you play for Rangers and not understand what this game means. The way this is going the OF is becoming just another game for the players when to borrow from Bill Shankly it should be played as if the outcome is more important than life and death.

Still convinced that the only solution is for one of us to win big on the Euromillions and splash the cash on a team of solid professionals.

Just win today. That's all.

Shameful

There's clearly a retro trend coming in kits. Just look at Chelsea this season with Nike, basically a modern copy of their early 70s style and colour.

We should all ask nbm for their statement on the IRA songs and banners this week. Would they recommend Celtic educate their supporters about the wrongs of sectarian intimidation?

Presumably the guys in the white T shirts that also bear the IRA volunteer image will be identified and given life bans. That's the punishment Linfield gave to the bloke that got on to the pitch after the first game.

Also read tonight that Rodgers is suggesting a one match ban might be the outcome. Just wonder if they've been told that in advance of the hearing.

I wish I'd written that

I'm beginning to wonder if the ref clocked the 5-1 gesture (and understood what he was at) - it's not often a player gets booked for time wasting when a bottle is tossed at him, but that ref clearly wasn't having any of it

he's a wee toe rag and deserves all he gets. he's personally charged with provoking spectators and Sellick have been charged with improper team conduct after getting 5 yellow cards in the game. with hindsight it's as well they declined their ticket allocation, with the Sellick players ramping everything up there'd have been a full scale riot
