Rangers got out of jail with a once in a season strike from Sasa Papac....the visitors were woeful in the first half and not much better in the second...the homeside will be pig sick that they didn't at least emerge from this contest with a point.

Rangers created very few chances and it took a strike from outside the box to get the three points. That was Papac's second spl goal for Rangers, and so they can't rely on him to dig them out the fire again this season.

A very lucky escape for rangers....their defending didn't look very clever , they were outbeaten in midfield, and they could hardly create a chance.

Rangers fans will be relieved to get the three points, but they can see plainly that this team looks sluggish and unimaginative.

Fish finger league for the OF pathetic and going out of business. No one needs them as they are broke, with has-been players and idiot fans.
Time for the SPL to kick them out and say no to bigotry!!
Hibees!!!

Also they would probably respectively naff off back to Ireland to leave Scottish football Scottish.

The fans were probably too busy adjusting their sashes, eating dug meat sandwiches and waving union jacks.

St Johnstone appeared unwilling to settle for the point and could have snatched victory when Filipe Morais set up Samuel but his ferocious shot was blocked by the body of McGregor.

Funny thing is that YOU are a wee diddy team (with HUGE debts) who no one wants due to mainly the antics OFF the pitch. Most OF Players must must really wonder what its all about.. My wee diddy team are none of that.

Well, I slagged rangers off, and it wold be childish to give Celtic any sort of praise for that performance today.

Simply put, Celtic were awful. In the last 15 minutes, we did manage to take control of the match, but when we're at home to motherwell, that simply isn't anywhere near good enough. Motherwell were our equal for most of the match and they don't earn a tenth of Celtic's wage bill. Not a tenth ! Most of these motherwell players wages are in the hundreds per week...Scot Brown alone earned more today than the entire motherwell team. The same could be said for Artur Boruc, Aiden Mcgeady, Sean Maloney, McManus, Caldwell,...and possibly one or two others.

Celtic were at home against a team which was put together on a shoestring. The skies are darkening for Mowbray, there's no doubt about that. He is now under pressure...he's one bad result away from open hostility and it's difficult to get back from there.

He badly needs a big performance and a good result. I'm not that bothered about what happens against Hamburg, but Celtic need to deliver a convincing performance and a good win in their next league game. Anything short of that and Mowbray WILL be under fairly intense pressure.

Celtic were rubbish, but so were rangers.
I watched the rangers game and they were much worse than Celtic in the first half and still not quite up to our poor standards in the second half.

There's little consolation for Celtic fans today, although we did actually create two great chances and a hatful of half chances whereas Rangers created only 1
in the whole 90.

I said above Rangers were very lucky to get a win today...it took an excellent shot from outside the box. Celtic actually did do enough to win the game, despite playing so badly.

We've been saying for weeks that we need a striker and at least one centre half. Until we bring in a bit of quality in those two positions, we will continue to struggle. Mowbray's problem is that he'll need to get more out of what's there until he brings in replacements. If he doesn't, then things are going to get more and more uncomfortable for him. It's unfair because the players who are letting us down the most are all Strachan buys. But any manager has to work with what he's got , and Mowbray must start getting more out of them.

But Rangers ? Do me a favour...they were dreadful today, simply dreadful.

Getting the three points isn't everything. You have to look at rangers today and accept that they can't create chances....you can hardly call Papac's goal a 'chance'....9 times out of 10 and possibly a bit more than that he's not going to hit the target or the goalie's going to get something on it.

Papac struck it beautifully, but let's be honest , it was only his second league goal in what, three years ?

I think it can only be described as 'a chance' when the player ought to score and that can only happen inside the box. Boyd's chance wasn't reall 'created' in the sense that someone just blootered the ball in low, it came of someone and sat up nicely for Boyd. He stuck it away well, but let's be honest, you could hardly call it a crafted goal...it wasn't as a result of clever interplay with another player, or a good run down the flanks and an inch perfect cross. It was a classic boyd goal....a loose ball in the box and he was there to just tuck it away.

Celtic did create two great chances....nice footwork on the flanks and inch perfect crosses, one to McDonald the other to McGeady...they both missed and McDonald's looked far easier to score. How he managed to put that one over the bar is bewildering. He just needed to get his noggin' on it and direct it goalward ...it didn't need power, it didn't need direction other than anywhere between the sticks.

Just finished a round of golf here in sunny South Carolina. Logged on to check the results and see that the Gers are back on top of the league.

2 weeks ago our green brethren were predicting they would have a 7 point lead in the league and today they occupy their regular 2nd place. lol

You can tell when the tic have a bad result, the threads are quiet. GFITW my er$e!!!

Off to the boozers. Catch you all much later.

This week you got the points, but I think we're in for another season of p 1ss poor football from both Celtic and Rangers, and it will be more who drops the least points than who gets the most. Today, Rangers could have easily lost and Celtic might have won. Both teams were very, very poor.

I continue to pay my channel 67 subscription. But it wasn't that long ago I used to watch full match replays regularly whereas since about half way through last season I think I could count on the fingers of one hand the number of times I've felt inclined to watch a match again.

That is also true of Rangers....any rangers fan that would want to watch today's match again frankly has issues. You'd mabey want to watch Papac's goal again a couple of times, but the rest was rank rotten, absolutely rank rotten. Rangers were bleedin' awful.

Celtic ? For 75 minutes we wern't much better. We were at home to a team with players being paid buttons relatively speaking and we couldn't take control of the match. Full credit to motherwell ...they kept their focus and stood tall. They showed our players up. They deserved their point and it would have been cruel had we stuck a winner away in the last 15 minutes.

We expect more from our players, and possibly had McDonald stuck away a goal, the satisfaction of three points would have blinded us from the real problems that we presently have.

We were robbed at ibrox...we had THREE stonewallers turned down and by rights rangers should have been down to 8 players.

We were also robbed at home against DU : perfectly good goal chopped off and a stonewaller turned down.

Rangers got a leg-up at ibrox by Craig Thomson, and if it wasn't for lady luck , you'd have dropped points today too.

Keep it real.

I think Mowbray has done enough to persuade the board that he buys well. The purse strings should be loosened in January....he needs a striker (robbie keane) and he needs a central defender.

Keane's agent has said that he would take a drop in wages to play for the glorious hoops and if we can dig up a centre half beast somewhere, we are cooking.

Just as well the Celtic fans don't mind if a new manager takes time to build his team to secure a top five finish

everyone is laughing at the OF. Bring the Aberdeen glory days back as the OF will never. Hibs and others have the chance where the OF have failed and are broke in the process.
