Devastating result for Celtic yesterday, no ifs or buts about that. Dropping four goals at home to Cluj is objectively miserable.

You have to wonder if the timing of those last two are going to prey on their mind for a while as well, they were through and threw it away.

I think they're going to the EL groups regardless. AIK have a knack for winning by the odd goal domestically, but in Europe they always get exposed. So long as Celtic are somewhat clinical - that is. Still, AIK wouldn't score four goals at Parkhead.

Rangers play some magic stuff.

[Gerry Attrick]

They’re in top form. Midtjylland are no back number but they’re getting a shoeing.

[mattD]

Was in Aberdeen for most the afternoon - just missed Igor Biscan too! Had no idea he was managing Rijeka (who just knocked Aberdeen out the Europa League).

And mightily impressive for Stevie against FC Midtjyland - couldn’t give a shit about the Old Firm (a Ross Country fan living in London) but hope Stevie takes them to the group stages. Make no mistake, Lennon would have fucked that tie up for Celtic.

Protestant Rangers against catholic Legia Warsaw sounds like it will be great fun.

The lovely tolerant Rangers support, I'm sure they'll be as lovely as ever.

We had a trip up to Ibrox tonight.  Rangers look a different act to recent seasons.  Stevie G looked lovely as ever celebrating on the touchline.

Looks like he’s really getting into it up there. Would love them to win something this season. May still be too soon for the league though. Had a look at some of their websites, they seem to be loving Stevie.

I don't know about that. Most Polish football clubs have nationalist ultras so I don't believe Rangers fans have a blind hatred for them. Poland and Ireland are not the same thing.

But they wear green = they are the devils servants.*






*I`m just guessing this.

Lol, actually they're the Polish Real Madrid - white from top to bottom.

It seems they were. A lovely time had by all apparently. You were getting your knickers in a twist for no reason.

[KillieRed]

Gossip says otherwise, but perhaps not the fault of the Rangers fans.

I won`t print the source as you know that their information needs more than a pinch of salt.

Sectarian chickens coming home to roost ...



RANGERS has been ordered by UEFA to close a section of Ibrox Stadium for the return leg of the club’s Europa League play-off tie against Legia Warsaw on Thursday, August 29.

UEFA has ruled that a group of Rangers supporters were guilty of racist behaviour – which includes sectarian singing – during the match against St Joseph’s at Ibrox on July 18.

Our supporters have been asked repeatedly by the Club to refrain from indulging in this, and other forms of unacceptable behaviour. Sadly, the warnings have fallen on deaf ears and the actions of this minority will cause the Club and the majority of good and decent Rangers supporters to pay a heavy penalty.

UEFA has ruled that a section, or sections containing no fewer than 3000 seats must be shut off during the club’s next European match, which is the home match against Legia Warsaw. The area, or areas to be closed will be announced in due course and the Club will do its best to restrict the impact to offending supporters.

Unfortunately a significant number of supporters, innocent of any wrong doing, will be unable to attend next week’s match. This is deeply regrettable to all at the Club and we hope that the guilty parties, who attracted the attention of UEFA might reflect on the damage their unacceptable behaviour is causing Rangers and their fellow supporters.

If any individual supporter is unable to behave in a civilised manner then please stay away from Ibrox and our Club. You are harming Rangers and that is something a genuine supporter would never wish to do.

Rangers chairman Dave King stated: “Rangers is a club open to all and we will continue to convey this message at every opportunity through our Everyone Anyone initiative.

“Rangers has players and supporters from many religions, cultures and backgrounds but we are one and the same when we gather to support our club. If any supporter cannot accept that then Rangers is not the club for them”.

I am glad to see the club, at least, do not revel in the reputation they have.

If they want to advance they need to leave everything rotten about their past behind.

Unfortunately as the cliche goes "it only takes a few bad apples" to ruin things for the majority.

Mad isn't it? There's the manager calling for 'all four corners of the ground rocking next Thursday' considering Legia Warsaw are no mugs and part of the support is doing its' best to sabotage the Europa campaign. 

[deano2727]

Old Firm day.

Rangers: McGregor, Tavernier, Goldson, Katic, Flanagan, Jack, Davis, Kamara, Aribo, Arfield, Defoe

Celtic: Forster, Elhamed, Jullien, Bitton, Bolingoli Mbombo, Brown, McGregor, Forrest, Christie, Johnston, Edouard

The big team news is Morelos' omission from the starting 11.

Watch paint dry, it'll play better football

In all seriousness though, Rangers are favourites with the bookies for this. Must be nearly 10 years since that was last the case?

[Linudden]

8th minute until the first horror tackle.

Ref plays advantage and then doesn't caution McGregor for what would've been a mix between yellow and red elsewhere Fuckin'ell Scottish football...

That Aribo looks a good player but my word, the standard in this is dreadful isn’t it?

This is a terrible game of football

Over the advertising hoardings too. Authorities will be well aware of their presence but will be ignored.

Like every protestant village and estate in the North.

Finish

Rank defending from Rangers though

[jillcwhomever]

Celtic ahead in this awful game, not that it will improve the standard of it.

[elsewhere]

ffs Rangers. Good counter by Celtic though.

[Andy @ Allerton!]

Most obvious red in the history of football that.

Studs up, deliberate and no red card?!

[b_joseph]

Its just too hard for Rangers to keep the ball...which against The Celtic we have seen in europe this year, is a bad indictment

[JohnnyNI]

Didn't even give a free kick, madness.

[12C]

Some Sunday league clogging going on.
The ref is either letting it go, or needs a trip to the sponsors

[Kenny's Jacket]

Celtic have been terribly dirty and the ref has been a right shithouse letting it go.

Not just Celtic, Rangers should have had a clear red card on that challenge by Jack.

[scouseman]

god I am o thankful that we get to watch us play after watching that half of crap. Why is this game on TV I wish to ask for a full refund of the 45 mins I will never get back in my life. Dear me a farm full of sheep would give these lot a better game.
