Rangers v Celtic, Sun 3 April - a "pivotal moment" in the title race!? - 0762 - 01-04-2022
Just announced by Hun media that Morelos is definitely out of this potential "league decider" for the Hoops. It also looks like they are gonna field Aaron Ramsay who I reckon is definitely not a fully fit player and has previously been diagnosed as having weak muscle issues. A hi-press, frenetic match is in order then from a Celtic point of view or just "nail him" early doors! That ploy will quickly probe and find out where he is in the fitness stakes! I'll be watching with great interest what potentially monumental ref decision will be "pulled" to "keep them in the chase for the Scot Prem title. A dodgy red card? A dodgy pk with the usual Hun experts/pundits professing it was undoubtedly justified!!??? Remember this is an existential moment coming up where they would literally "kill" or bribe certain people to gain access to the Euro Champs League because they are undeniably still hugely in debt and they crave ECL involvement. Perhaps the assigned referee (Golum in this case) should've been realistically replaced by an independent one from another footie league? However, that would be setting a precedent!
Celtic and Ange couldn't ask for any greater motivation to be playing such a match at this stage of the season with a three point lead and GD advantage that is worth another extra point. It looks like Kyogo may be fit, but whether he is match fit is debatable TBH! A lotta predictions being made by the "usual suspects", but ultimately this is about what happens on the pitch and who "takes in the pressure and enormity of this match"! IMO a hi-press and pacy strategy through the middle of their defence will pay huge dividends - study previous matches where they have been "unhinged" by teams that beat them with sheer pace and others that should've similarly beaten them, but profligate in front of McGregor's goal and indeed "missing sitters"!! An intriguing match looming ever closer and they need to "open up" and win it. A case of "who wants it most" as long as a so called impartial referee doesn't try to change the course of a match in some improper manner!! Deja vu!!

A SEISMIC MOMENT IN THE SCOT PREM TITLE RACE - A 1-2 CELTIC WIN AND LOTSA WHINING HUNS ALL OVER THE PLACE REALISING THE HUGE SIGNIFICANCE OF THIS RESULT - THE HOOPS 6 PTS AHEAD PLUS AN UNASSAILABLE GD THAT IS WORTH ANOTHER POINT!!
Celtic losing an early goal to Ramsey, but quickly coming back to make the score 1-1 with a Tom Rogic "strike". This was actually a game full of mis-passes, I'd say a record of badly hit passes by both sides throughout this match, Tom Rogic clearly the MOTM with a cool head and being the top player in the midfield area. And Carter-Vickers delivered the crucial winning goal just before half-time and just after Celtic denied a stonewall pk by ref, Golum, when the Rangers goalie "wiped out" Maeda in the Gers' pen box. Celtic fairly resilient defensively throughout this match and Abada should've "finished them off" with two great scoring opps late on in the second half. Also broken glass all over the Celtic pen box as the game delayed by a few mins after HT - glass bottles thrown at Joe Hart!!
They would be massively fined by UEFA for this kinda shit if this was a Euro tie, but our backward footie authority in Scotland does nothing - a joke!! Anyway, joyous celebrations among Celtic players and fans at the end while the Huns hurrying out the stadium and many apparently already causing mayhem in Glesca with many hospital A&E wards inundated- THE GEORGE SQUARE SCUM COMING OUT EN MASSE AGAIN EH!!!!
Nothing changes in that regard!!

Once again the scum totally embarrassed themselves. Throwing bottles at celtic players and staff, their physio required hospital treatment and it looked like at one point Joe Hart was going to walk off the field of play. We should be looking at a stand getting closed but the SFA huns will look the other way.
The game itself was frantic stuff, far from a classic. Celtic have the best defensive record in the league so i wasn't surprised they coped comfortably with the huns after they got caught cold early on. They had by far the best chances in the game and should have won by a wider margin. Maeda is an absolute machine and worked endlessly all over the park for his side.
Sevco are a one dimensional side with very little creativity, they rely on deep crosses, playing for free kicks and 2nd balls. It works with Morelos....Much less so without him. The wheels could come off very soon over there.

They have a history of intimidation, violence, sectarianism and civil disobedience spanning years n years and it has never been fully challenged by accountable footie people who should be challenging the thuggery and criminality that never truly disappears from this toxic footie club. The abuse of the sport of footie by them is there for all to see and it is totally unacceptable, yet likely "swept under the carpet" AGAIN!!

Honestly can't believe those pictures in the news of the amount of glass bottles that got into the stadium yesterday.
But the wider issue is that their club has pandered to these lunatics for so long just to keep the lights on that they are left with follow follow as a media partner and unable to guarantee the safety of BT sport commentators in the stadium. They should have their arses booted for the whole Cinch fiasco, but even thats turned into another war with the authorities.
Hart looked to me like he was telling Postecoglu that the team should go back up the tunnel. Who could blame him ?
