Remember when Frankie said Rangers would be going for the title? How we can laugh at his prediction.
They are such a poor outfit, King and the board must be seething with rage at the squad they have assembled. No money in the bank and a squad of duds.

They actually don't have a single player who i'd say has a future at them.

So second placed Hearts are about to lose their manager to a relegation threatened Div One side in England. Wow.

Money talks, I dont consider Neilson as a good manager anyway so if he's tripling or quadrupling his wage he'd be wise to move as he is not certain to avoid the sack from Hearts and if Hearts did sack him it would be pretty much career over.

If he gets to be his own man it's probably a good thing for him, as most think director of football Craig Levein is actually in charge at Hearts.

It's the gamble all Scottish managers take though start at an English low level to see if they can do anything and climb.

Alternatively it's tail between your legs and back up the road in six months

Hearts board have their head screwed on so will be fine, unsurprising win for them tonight.

A win for Aberdeen at the weekend and I'll be surprised if Warbiola gets to Christmas.

Aberdeen should beat them, Hearts were comfortable tonight and it could even have been 3 or 4 nil and I don't think they played that well either, they were really sloppy themselves and I dont think they have too much quality.

Aberdeen have the 2nd best team but they need to turn up, shut them down from the front and attack them imposing their superiority like Hearts done tonight, Hearts played like they knew they were the better team from the start and went on to dominate. McGinn, Maddison and Hayes need to play behind Rooney. McInnes seems a really defensive manager though, wouldnt suprise me if only 1 or 2 of them played and they sat back.

Superb game of football today, Motherwell did play well in the first half, credit to them bits of quality and could have had 3 or 4 goals although have to say the first one was offside and the 2nd was a foul so they shouldn't really have had a goal although were the better team.

2nd half Celtic played excellent, plenty of movement and attacking and deserved a few goals and always looked like winning in the end. Tom Rogic is sensational, never seen a player with his class and control in my puff in Scotland, excellent performance from Stuart Armstrong too who is starting to come alive in the hoops, tireless player and deserving of a bit of recognition.

It was a cracking game of football with some superb goals. If Messi or Ronaldo had scored
that first Motherwell goal it would be lauded as goal of the season.

A deserved win for Rangers over Aberdeen. Well done lads.
Aberdeen's winless streak at Ibrox continues. A bit like Celtic away in the Champions League they don't seem to have the mental toughness required to go there and win.

Mark McGhee, a man who can never get over the fact he'll never manage Celtic.

Ian Cathro to Hearts is an interesting appointment. He'll need to hit the ground running.


I've so much hope for Celtic tonight I'm going to see Blossoms instead.

My mate plays up front for Rovers, hope he's got a goal or two up his sleeve for when they play Celtic.

Great gig but gutted I missed a decent game of football.

Given his hatred for Celtic I'd presumed it had something to do with that result, then I checked the Scottish Cup results on Futbol24.

That's a kick in the balls.

Celtic are going to be absolutely destroyed in europe its going to be some epic humiliations and making money from.the bookies for me
Impossible. Frankly, you should get a bonus if you keep the scores in the three games in single figures. The best you will do is get a home draw vs Borussia.
Kranjčar is a game changer and Garner looks to be the striker we have been
But Celtic imo will get humped royally by all 3 home and away
Ladies and gentlemen, the The Rangers support are footballing experts.

Celtic fans in the home end, City fans not happy about it.

It is the risk you take going in the wrong end.

Only thing I seen was near a corner City fans were trying to attack a group of 3 or 4 Celtic fans who were in their end but it only lasted about 30 seconds, stewards got in and broke it up. If thats what you mean it was in the Man City end.

Before the match someone let of a firework on a tram as people were getting off at the stadium, not a big exploding one just them that bang with no colour. I seen press reports saying it was a flare or that passangers were terrified when there was nobody on it, the driver got out and was waving the smoke out with the doors open. Quite silly but from the reports you would think a firework was set off on the tram then people were panicking in the smoke when it was nothing like that.

Celtic were fantastic last night, played out our skins against a good team away in Europe and probably should have won the game. Outplayed them for the majority of the match too, Rogic exceptional again, he is utter class.

Couldn't imagine supporting any other team, atmosphere was phenominal one of the best i've experienced. Cannot beat being on a packed, boucing tram/train/bus sweating, singing, jammed in like sardines, taking over cities and stadiums across Europe. Must be shite for other clubs who don't travel Europe in numbers of 5/10/15,000 or even worse clubs who are never in Europe to experience it at all or even clubs whos fans do travel in good numbers but they have no songs and create no atmosphere - your Chelsea, Man Utd, Liverpol, Arsenal, Real Madrid and Barcelona's.

I love football but that sounds like utter hell to me, 'taking over cities' and just generally being a pita to locals.
I've never been one for the mob/herd mentality though.
Agree that Big Tam is something else (at times), can see some offers coming in for him now!

It is but its brilliant as well, especially looking back on it once you return. Only really at football do you get squashed into a tram with people bouncing, banging the roof and windows, singing come on you bhoys in green from one end to the other and last night first time id seen it but people crowd surfing along the tram. Normal passengers must be terrified but once its ended in 15 minutes they must remember it for life.

I dont mean taking over cities like rampaging through them disrupting everything, just filling every street and pub singing. Most locals enjoy it too, you see locals taking selfies or video or pictures with fans. Even the homeless, I gave money to one last night who thanked me and said Celtic fans alone had given him about £40 in the past couple of hours, that was at like 4pm he must have got plenty more.
