So ALL OF THE CELTIC supporters everywhere are at fault because no one in that street was prepared to identify? Do you understand what you're saying?

That is what you are saying, read my comments.  I am confident that Celtic FC will publish a statement on their website that is representative of the feelings of the majority, together with a witness appeal for those that were present.

It was generally played at that time of year for many years. I think it`s a great idea too. I actually liked the way the groups worked, our manager used them as pre-season training. Which perhaps explains the results  >:(

You really shouldn't paint a whole group of supporters with the same brush, and perhaps remember that Rangers/Celtic are really flipsides of the same coin anyway, as much as that might annoy their respective fans.

I drive past the site of the recent Rangers supporters bus crash regularly and there are many tributes from Celtic supporters as well as other clubs.

Given our history how any Liverpool supporter can feel it's okay to demonise and ENTIRE set of supporters beggars belief.

Celtic and Rangers fans come from the same city, their fans from all walks of life, from Monday to Friday they are no different from each other and from anyone else for that matter.

I assumed someone had gone up to a young kid an bottled him? a bottle was thrown by a celtic fan and it hit a poor kid, while its shithouse behavior to do that ive seen much worse following the reds for 20 years from the mid 80s. And dont forget stabbings around this fixture are not that uncommon.

Same sort of thing with the other link he posted. Some wanker threw a bottle onto a crowded bus. The bottle hit someone on the arm then deflected onto a kids head. Andy would have you believe Celtic fans are going round bottling kids. Which isn't what happened on either occasion. I'm certain that if he wasn't biased, he could find similar stories of Rangers fans doing the same type of thing, but I doubt he'll call them a 'reprehensible set of fans'

Celtic again deserved their victory, you would be hard pushed to find any Rangers fan who thinks otherwise, although the manager & the players seem to think otherwise for some reason.

A bit happy as a Rangers fan the score was obviously a lot closer, although still disappointed in the level of performance. We are a lot better than the 5-1 scorline suggested in the other game, and I think we are better than what our performance suggested the other day.

We've had a difficult start, not able to hit this season running as we've been unable to field a settled team due to injuries and the Barton fiasco. My hope now once Rossiter is back is that we become more settled especially in midfield and can start to put a run of positive results together.

Celtic on the other hand are on a roll. Brendan has had the ability to pick a more settled team, a favourable Champions League qualifying draw and a home Old Firm game has helped build confidence and momentum. That's not sour grapes, he's taken advantage of it and got them playing well and they are a better team currently than Rangers, no one can deny that. They have a lot more experience in their team (especially when you take Barton and Kranjcaer out ours), so we just hope that this is a learning curve for our boys and they get better with it.

Sarcasm right.

David Moyes would walk that league managing Celtic,It's a poor standard up there and Celtic don't even have to get out of second gear against most teams in that division.

Rangers won't be a viable contender for another 2-3 seasons,so i can see Celtic beating the record 9 titles in a row.

The "anyone could do it" stuff is utter shit. You'd think people would have learned not to say that when Roy Hodgson had Fernando Torres, Steven Gerrard, Dirk Kuyt, Maxi Rodriguez, Jamie Carragher and co 4 points above the relegation zone in January but evidently not. It's a complete nonsense of an argument, of course any competent manager *should* win them the league but it's not always that simple. David Moyes took the champions of England to 7th place.

Neil Lennon won 5 out of 12 domestic trophies available, 13 if you want to be really pedantic.

Brendan is keeping things simple and it is why he is currently doing so well.

Most managers wouldn't just rock up and do well, mostly because of arrogant, ignorant attitudes where they under estimate how difficult it can actually be at times.  Anyone thinking they will be easily rocking up to a treble will land back to earth with a big bump.


I certainly wouldn't be trusting Moyes to win anything up here.

The "anybody can do it" is generally a nonsense argument. The best way to tell how a manager is doing is to see what the fans think of him, and they all love Brendan already so that should be proof enough

no sarcasm there.

I think he is really doing a good job. Its easy to name drop managers and think that they would do better. But in reality it wouldn't be as easy as they think it is. The fact and reality is that Rodgers have lead the team to a 10 point league advantage. Dropping points only once and a way too healthy goal difference of 23.

But sure, Allardyce and Hodgson could probably do a better job while playing a more attractive brand of football ;D
