It feels like Celtic are losing more leads at the moment than Pets At Home when a shoplifter is in.

4 cracking goals yesterday, the ball from McGregor to Bitton for the first Celtic goal was superb.

If we had a proper defensive midfielder, that would help.

We need experience at the back - same problems that Lennon had at the beginning when he ended up signing Majstorovic.

We are struggling with missing Brown and Griffiths and we need another mobile striker,

I had hoped that Ciftci was going to kick on after the St Johnstone game but that was basically just a blip in form.

Good game yesterday from Rangers even though disgusting cheats like Fyvie and incompetent buffoons like Bobby Madden tried to ruin the game. Nice to shut the elephant man up as well and a good atmosphere. It was a million times better than that Man Utd game. If we had more summer football and that sort of game was on it would get good viewing figures.

Here's hoping he gets punished like Lafferty rightly was

Of course it would, what other club football is on? Unless you like watching cricket? That was a great advert for the Scottish game. The Man Utd game was dross.

You assume that people in the rest of the UK actually care about Scottish football.

It was a second tier game.

I won't hold my breath with the clowns we have running the game. They'll probably give Halliday an extra game ban and UEFA will call up Bobby Madden to the Euros.

It was a top of the table clash which was miles better than the game which featured teams worth about half a billion combined.

It was still a Scottish second tier game between a small club from Glasgow and a perennially underachieving club from Edinburgh. That's all people can base their viewing decision on before the game takes place. I suppose there might be some interest in the "plucky new club rising through the leagues" angle, but not much.

Now, about these hoards of English and Welsh viewers who are interested in Scottish football...

I think you must be confusing Rangers with your diddy outfit. You aren't even the biggest team on your street and one of our rejects is your best player. Nobody is going to watch you get humped 5-2 off Highland Toffee FC to see who finishes in 9th place 40 points off the top, but people would tune in to a game there is an actual atmosphere and something to play for.

Diddies like your team can feed off the scraps we give you.

Looks like I've touched a nerve.

I think you'll find that the Premiership gives "scraps" to the leagues below.

Your diddy outfit would have an open top bus parade for finishing 6th. Nobody would watch your lot, including a lot of your 'fans', unless they were up against Rangers or Celtic.

The best Scottish game of the season with the best atmosphere, something to play for and 50000 there is just over and a diddy team with 3000 at their last meaningless game is talking it down

Don't think because nobody wants to watch your team it applies to us all.

Aye just keep saying that, it definitely stops you being a bunch of diddies 20 points off the pace with no fans

Your big team is going to take about 7 off you at this rate.

Frankie - ignore the troll, tis the season of good will and all that best not wear your keyboard out on the irrelevant bounder ...

That was a cracking game yesterday - Ibrox looked as if it was jumping and not even the ref and the wee ginger cheat could halt that.

I think Law and Holt could be a great pairing in midfield and it was obvious we were up for this game for a change. Can't help but think that Stubbs infatuation with us has backfired big time.

We still need a decent finisher and an experienced centre back but when we play like that nobody in this division can live with us.

PS - I wonder how long it will take for Hibs to offload Jason Cummings to the scum - must be a certainty for a summer transfer?? Personally I think he is destined for bigger things than them ...

Be lucky to get 1000 at that game at that time. Top flight Scottish football plays another blinder on sell out Wednesday afternoon.

It's not a holiday is it? Totally bizarre.

Can see a few cancellations with the weather

Hamilton v Inverness 3pm kick off is a bit bizarre
