The Official Scottish Football Thread (Vol. 2)
Discussion
The VAR official did very well to cut out AJ flicking the ball away just before the very slight contact on Silva as he had already decided to start falling down in the footage shown to Beaton, who apart from his inability to give Sevco a yellow card had an okay game.
I know small teams celebrate draws against us, I guess some clubs just have that mentality.

Looks like the Scott Brown Surge is over at Somerset, and we're back to looking over our shoulders rather than thinking about the play offs.
Sigh.
Hope the Spiders stay up with us, bit of a shame to see Caley falling so hard, but a decent win for them last time out and I can't see them going down now. But on the other hand a shame about Arbroath, so near and yet so far not so long ago, now back to League Two. Sucks.
I enjoyed the Old Farce derby on the telly yesterday, so far as the actual football was concerned. Most entertaining.

I'd love to see Caley go down tbh, it avoids a 6 hour round trip on a cold Tuesday night when Falkirk go back up. Lets be honest, Arbroath are back where they belong. Sigh.

A wild game yesterday and happy enough to take the point and move on after a atrocious first half performance from Rangers. They got very little right, poor press, players not in their correct positions and terrible decision making and were ultimately lucky to go in at half time only 2-0 down after Butland pulled off some good saves. I couldn't see a way back at that moment and was surprised there was only one change in personnel. Everything seemed better organised, more players committed to the press and Sima was just far more dangerous than Wright. In the end unlucky not to win with the Dessers chance in the dying seconds. An exciting game but I thought the quality from both teams overall was poor. The wind was wild and perhaps contributed to that though.
Dermot Gallagher agreed with all the decisions taken which is perhaps a good reminder the the rulebook is bit more nuanced than every decision must go in celtics favour.

A lot of waffle about Beaton but he had a perfectly fine game and I think both clubs will probably be relieved they never lost rather than the game being an indicator of where the title is going.
Not moaning about any decisions. Atleast all fans can agree silvas antics though out the game was an embarrassment to footballers world wide.
Leaves the league in both teams hands. Win all the remaining games and one is champion. Rangers have only won at park head once in 13 years it think the stat is. Celtic have won 88% of games against them. Leagues tight and wouldn't sprise me if it actually goes on goal difference. Not sharing the league with a team that scored more than you and declaring that a league title.. LOL.

The fluke goal shocked Rangers into 1st half nervousness and the Goldson funky-chicken penalty was demoralising.
Rangers four goals in the 2nd half was a better indicator of who's who, and the draw result leaves them in an advantageous position to win the league.

Why am I hearing the Curb Your Enthusiasm theme tune in my head just now?Rangers four goals in the 2nd half was a better indicator of who's who, and the draw result leaves them in an advantageous position to win the league.
Someone contact the SPFL, Portia5 has declared The Rangers scored 4 goals in the second half so we need to change the result to 4-3 and move them above Celtic in the table.
No fluke either. Daizen knows he absolutely terrifies that right back so chased him down and forced the characteristic mistake.

They scored one that was disallowed. Doesn't mean they didn't score it. Apparently there's some dubiety about the 'disallow' too.....https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/sport/12436487/de...

It means it wasn't a goal, no different to standing miles offside or the ball boy rolling the ball into the net.I am actually very glad for the 'we were better' revisionist thinkers at The Rangers, it's whats kept them below us for years.
Scottish football having a bit of a bad week. The Dundee game being called off again while amateur teams down the road are able to play their games on the same night. I think Motherwell have a point regarding Dundee neglecting the pitch and investing in the squad to achieve a top six place while they have sacrificed players to have a great pitch.
Scotland have now lost automatic champions League entry after next season. A pretty embarrassing contribution from Celtic given their resources.

There’s a silver lining in the champions league spot debacle. If rangers can win the league next season, and the champions league winner wins there domestic league then there auto domestic champions entry goes to the highest rated champion in the qualifier route which is rangers.Scotland have now lost automatic champions League entry after next season.

Talking about underachieving not one Scottish ref involved at any level in this summers Olympics tells its own tale of their incompetence 🙄
Automate offsides and scrap VAR so the refs can still get to see head knocks and play advantage to their favourite teams 😉
