Another brilliant counter-attack goal from City.

I think he's a real player and a half.........they should be building the team around him next season
He certainly is a very, very talented player, but so are the others, and you would expect that they will all want to play as well. Presumably Nasri and Navas are only good enough then for the bench, one with Yaya if he is still there. |

Mr Blonde is looking pretty good since his return from injury. Shame he's not in City's champions league team.

How do you fit him, Sterling, and Silva into the same team?

Presumably Nasri and Navas are only good enough then for the bench, one with Yaya if he is still there. As for the others.........I'd put De Bruyne on the teamsheet and fit the others around him. I think he'll be their best player next season You'd expect there to be a fair change of players when Pep comes in.......Sterling and Silva, Nasri and Navas might not figure or if they stay they can fit around Kev or sit on the bench. There are plenty of games to give everyone an outing |

City in actually trying and subsequently winning everything towards end of season to nail down top 4 shocker
Leicester will have zero problems at the bridge the last game of the season so much for a tough run in |

Chelsea are possibly the most rested squad in the premier league. A significant number of them appear to have withdrawn their labour for the first third of the season, had a jog around for the second third, and in the last third are seemingly thinking of the beach. Not entirely convinced a bad dose of Mourinhoitis explains the entire season away.

Joleon Lescott: "Now it's confirmed maybe it's a weight off the shoulders and we can give these fans what they deserve, some performances."
I can see that going down well... |

I've seen a fair bit of Chelsea in the last few weeks and I'm really not seeing this huge improvement that Hiddink has supposedly overseen.

An Old Firm semi final - what an atmosphere!

However outwith Scotland I can understand it's probably the only game that puts Scottish football in the spotlight and the only Scottish fixtures a lot of English fans would watch on tv |

Have to say that if you didn't know otherwise, you'd think Rangers and Celtic were still at an equal level on the basis of how this match has started. |

As a supporter of a non old firm scottish team Dundee United yesterday was awful. I don't like everything the rangers v Celtic stands for within Scotland.

I've got to admit this is the first Scottish game I've watched in about three seasons.

Think Rangers got lucky there as they wasted chances up till now. Anyway Celtic better wake up after this.

Amazing how the Celtic defence just watched the ball run through to Miller in the area and did nothing about it.

Celtic have been pretty average at best since Scott Brown bottled a very good chance after 10 minutes.
Very noticeable how easily Rangers seem to be able to cut through the midfield to challenge Celtic's not very impressive defensive line. |

What a miss for Celtic!
If the guy had taken that on his right foot it would be 1-1. Rangers' goalkeeper looks really nervy. |

Good grief I think even I might have scored that completely open goal missed by Roberts. That's Brown and Roberts bottling chances.
From what I have seen of both defenses I would be amazed if there were not more goals, bottling chances aside of course. Roberts looks as though he may never sleep again if Celtic lose. |

Rangers ought to get the ball in the box and stop f*nnying around when they have the ball and score. Otherwise Celtic won't miss every very easy chance they are gifted.

Rangers playing as though they are enjoying being underdogs; Celtic the complete opposite, seem weighed down by the expectations of the occasion. Think Rangers should have taken better advantage of their superiority to lead by more than 1 goal. Will Celtic play in the second half as poorly as the first?
Is this the first choice Rangers' goalie? |

Celtic have come out flying for the second though... and it's 1-1! |
