Phoenix rangers played very well against Dundee and the manager has to be given credit for what he has done on a tight budget but don't forget that their wage bill is probably as big as Dundee and Kilmarnock put together!
Techno talked about players pumping their gums and it gave Phoenix Rangers the hump and then in today's papers Lee Wallace doing exactly the same!
There is going to be a managerial change at Celtic sooner rather than later and Moyes has plenty experience and is Scottish and an ex Bhoy and would get my vote!

It sounds increasingly likely that Moyes will be at Newcastle soon.
Newcastle is a tough gig but at least every bit of new Rangers merchandise will be paying is wages! 
Techno likes to compare results and then extrapolate some sort of logic , last time new Rangers played Morton they could only draw and the Celtic are pumping them 3-0 in the first half!

I was just curious if that was all that was said to stir such a massive reaction and effort.
I think you underestimate the strength of feeling amongst Rangers fans (and players to an extent) about how the club was treated by others. The no-one likes us mantra has been proven and amplified somewhat, and as such any opportunity to rub others noses in it will be taken to the nth degree. So any gobs
te wee no mark like Harkins or Stubbs will know all about it.Driver101 said:
I don't see Rangers as being anywhere near Celtic, or in any position to actually genuinely catch up.
We're not right now, but we're on the right path. We need investment, and we don't know how or when or how much, but it seems wrongs are slowly being righted on the financial side.But seeing as you're only 10 points ahead of Hearts who won our league last year I don't think the gap is as big as you'd like to think. Plus, and it's the important point, Celtic have stagnated for four years, a wasted opportunity to be off in the distance out of sight which won't turn around overnight.
But what do I know, you're the greatest fans in the world. As can be seen on cup quarter final day.
But I'd bet my house that ground will be full to see the Rangers next year. New club my arse.
Are we really going down how many at the game AGAIN. How many times are you going to go over the same stuff again and again? Do you ever bore yourself?
You have done that to the death about a million times now. Why keep repeating yourself over and over? Again the discussion is heading down the oh look at Celtic tit for tat type of discussions.
Again, have a look through the history of the cup competitions. Regularly crowds are low, especially if it's a lesser team playing.
There was only 15,000 at Celtic park today which is bad, but that's what a lack of competition, a lesser opponent and the fans a bit unhappy with the team's performances mean.
Just a quick glance brings up this. 5th round last season and only 11,422.

You have to remember it means more to Rangers fans to raise their game and beat teams team like Dundee, than is does Celtic to beat Morton.
When Celtic player better teams in Europe more people turn up. If it was Aberdeen there would have been a far bigger crowd.
The gap is only 10 points as Celtic haven't been applying themselves. I'm sure you can see there is little effort going in during most games? Any game where Celtic decide to turn up, they usually win very easily.
Again you appear more concerned with Celtic and want to enter a game of point scoring just like the guy who bumped the thread.
Enjoy your result against Dundee. It seems that beating Dundee has somehow involved playing Celtic.
Can I ask a favour? I do enjoy a chat about football, but can you please change the record? You are relentlessly boring saying the same stuff over and over and over and over. It's not even different people you're having the discussion with, it's always aimed at me. I've heard your same points a million times already. Save yourself the trouble of typing the same stuff so often.

Both of you do us fans of diddy teams a favour and take it to the Old Firm threads...
For one this is diddy team related i.e. Dundee, where it started.
The only* point I'm raising is that Celtic are pish, and that when they suddenly try to up the ante against us it kind of puts the new club garbage to bed.
*For the pedantic i.e. 101 I know it's not the ONLY point but I'm trying to close things down here. I really don't give a fk, we're going into next season on a roll. Celtic are struggling to win an easy league and need to change manager and personnel.
Do I think we'll win the SPL next year? No.
Do I think Celtic will fill Parkhead to play a three year old team with no history? Without a doubt.
Celtic fans; consistent in their inconsistency.

You are right you didn't bump the thread. Your friend celebrated beating Dundee by having a go at Celtic did. Beating Dundee in the cup has zero to do with any other team than Dundee and Rangers.
You've joined in the thread barely interested in beating Dundee. You've just been talking about Celtic AGAIN AND AGAIN.
Your point of view always baffles me as you appear to completely oblivious to what goes on in front of your eyes.
Your dislike for Celtic is stronger than your support for Rangers.
Across all the football threads you've pulled out so much nonsense it's incredible.
All this hard done to drivel too. The world is against you, all the moderators are against you and picking on your team.
Honest to god, if there was an award for a paranoid whinger, you'd win by miles.
Can you not talk football without all this st?

TBH I'm utterly fed up with football. The only thing which now interests me is something different, which our situation certainly has been. Likewise Leicester and Spurs fighting for the EPL.t? As for the SPL diddy teams playing each other 30 times a season in front of empty grounds...

I don't know about that. But I do despise Celtic.moanthebairns said:

I take it's still 3rd and 4th place teams have to play a two leg tie to then take on 2nd place?I'm sure Hibs and Falkirk would both fancy their chances against Killie. The only thing is Dundee Utd suddenly have hit form. I wonder if they might just catch Killie making the playoff much harder?

No. I merely pointed out that Dundee managed a draw. As you're not a Celtic fan, why should this concern you to the point where you had to reply to my post anyway?As usual, you have caused the thread to be de-railed by jumping in all offended over nothing, making it all about a team you don't support.
Go figure.

I'm offended? I'm really not offended at all. Why would I be offended that Rangers beat Dundee? It has no bearing on me. As usual, you have caused the thread to be de-railed by jumping in all offended over nothing, making it all about a team you don't support.
Go figure.
Read my response again and you'll actually see my post was positive. I said it was a good result and said the match report said Rangers were on form for the game. Then I merely pointed out there is a Rangers thread to talk about Rangers specific matters. How you've extracted that as offended I will never know.
Your team beats Dundee and the first thing you want to do is jump on PH to shout about it. That's a bit odd considering you don't post here and it's not an active football forum.
There so little football chat and so much pointless bickering. The worst part is it has been done to the death already.
Can we keep the thread on topic?

Early in the season, one of my Falkirk mates said they were probably a couple of good players away from a serious title challenge, and would be right up there for promotion. I laughed - but he was at least half right, maybe more.
Once natural order of clubs' finances in the championship is restored (ie there's no Rangers with a massive budget) they should be well placed to crank it up against the team(s) coming down from the Prem, because Falkirk are making good use of resources at present and have been producing talent for a wee while. How st are St Mirren, for example? Very easy for teams coming down to fall into a slump so I'd think it's only a matter of time before Falkirk get back up.

Still a chance to get Moyes to Paradise now!
Not sure he's got anything to gain from taking on a declining Celtic - especially after 2 failures in a row. Best case scenario is he gets close to meeting expectations of champions league football and regular trebles.
