There have been some scalding hot takes following Sunday’s Old Firm draw, a fixture that meant ultimately very little and as result, was one of the tamest for years.
Strangely, The Herald via Matthew Lindsay, claims that “maybe the gap isn’t that big after all” after Celtic’s “dominant” performance, aside from the obvious ignorance of tactics and factual evidence, it’s a bit of a stinker that one.
Rangers are unbeaten in the league and have conceded just 10 goals, that is why the gap is so big, we are now at the stage where we can turn up for Old Firm games and collect points without leaving third gear.
There is also the small matter of Celtic having had a fortnight to prepare for this game with us having to recover from a physically and mentally taxing last 16 Europa League tie against Slavia Prague, we had the best part of a day’s training to put into place a game plan and they still couldn’t beat us.
Chris Sutton’s gradual collapse has been quite spectacular this season and the latest sign that all is not well is his latest column suggesting that Scott Brown should remain as an integral part of the Celtic team, he may have been awarded man of the match by Sky Sports but he wasn’t even their best player, let alone the game’s.
If they keep him at the heart of their midfield then they will have the same problems that they have had this season, even at the weekend, when he was supposed to have played well, Rangers players were running past him with ease, that he tried and failed to foul Ryan Kent on more than one occasion says it all, he was only late with three tackles I suppose so maybe he could still do a job for them – here’s hoping.
