Yet the papers make it their headlines?
A complete non story.

Almost as ridiculous as sections of the The Rangers support wanting to contact the police over a picture in the Alloa Athletic match programme.

I'm in disbelief at the furore over this flock. Back page headlines!!!!

Try and show a bit of flair and skill and you're turned on. Absolute joke
Saying Rangers played well doesn't sell papers. Inventing some crap about a diddy being 'embarrassed' does. Oduwa looks a good player, he'll run riot at Ibrox.

We are certainly playing with that "swagger" again - which was sadly missing over the McCoist era. It really is amazing to see the difference in movement, link-up play and understanding at this early stage of the Warburton reign.

There will be times when we need to grind out results but we should only get stronger over the coming months ...

If John Eustace comes in he might be the missing piece in the midfield jigsaw. A few players might leave like Zal, McGregor, Templeton etc. There is going to be some nice football played this season which is a good antidote to the Ally era of long balls to Jon Daly.

Warburton comes across well and seems like a pleasant guy .

He has come in with a clean slate and fresh ideas which possibly what was needed after baggage managers in Mccoist and McCall

He seems a decent guy and trying to bring some flair to Scottish football which can't be a bad thing.

Is Jackie Mac getting the bullet? I watched the Hamilton highlights and Utd turned in a dreadful performance.

There is rumblings in the support that want him gone, bargain bin overseas signings that don't look up to much, squad that needs some experience to carry it.

However the likes of Paul DIxon looks dreadful , never a fan of megabus returns after failure down south.

It would cost a fair whack to get rid of macnamara , Thompson seems to have his eyes on Australia as well

Who would you want to replace McNamara?

Tough gig for any manager to walk into when the chairman is selling anyone that's worth more than ten bob. I think they'll go down the same path as McNamara and look at the likes of Alan Archibald, Iain Murray etc.

Their neighbours have a decent manager but he'll be looking at a far bigger job in the future I imagine.

Get the feeling the game tomorrow night is going to be similar to this Man Utd game.

I would have said Iain Cathro a few weeks ago but he is at Newcastle now .

Tomorrow will be a test for Celtic, there is a theory in European games that if there is less than five points between the countries in the co-efficient rankings it's makes the matches too close to call.

Sweden is almost two points ahead of Scotland at the moment.

Difficult game, no doubt. I have a feeling Celtic will concede at least one goal. I think it will be 2-1 Celtic tomorrow.

We should be beating Malmo if we want to be in the CL - if we don't it's nothing to do with the co-efficient.

Could go either way - just hope we don't try a scrape a result.

Inter Milan-esque attacking performance wouldn't go amiss.

We're looking a crowd of close to a sell out tomorrow night and they will need to be behind the team for 90 minutes.

I can see the first half being cagey tomorrow and the game opening up in the second half.

Easy win for Rangers, should have been 4 or 5. I hear Berget finally found his shooting boots. That Celtic defence will be some state if van Dijk goes.

I actualluy blame the Celtic defender who didnt get on with it and kick the spare ball off startightaway... it caused the team to lose concentration

I forgot that only Celtic fans can talk about Celtic. At least you got to see Berget get some goals at last.

Remember when you thought you were signing Pedro? Man City are the top team in Manchester now. 4th or 5th for you this season.
