I'm surprised by the lack of activity on here given the Independent Review Panel released their findings from the latest VAR analysis. So far this season Rangers have had the most wrong decisions go against them. Celtic seem to be enjoying a bit of fortune despite the conspiracy ramblings on here all season. Scotlands Coefficient tweeting out the data earlier in the week.

I think most people with any analytical education can see the review for what it is. Toilet paper.ScotlandCoefficient

If the SFA were really serious they would invite a number of foreign officials to review the seasons VAR decisions or controversial non-interventions. That would be far more interesting than asking the opinion of former players and managers.

Two still images doesn't prove anything. The former managers and players are supported by ex officials so it's a bit better than a couple of sportscene pundits basing it on what they think the rules should be. Exhibit A: https://twitter.com/KFCView/status/1785779695230869628

A very strange game yesterday. Kilmarnock came out and pressed aggressively but Rangers coped well and looked good. Lost a bit of rhythm with the long VAR checks and it looked like we were going to go in a goal behind despite Kilmarnock not having a shot on target in the first half. Rangers played with a bit more aggression, speed and intensity than recent times and were comfortable.

They started well. The own goal really knocked them. If they never got the man sent off the game would have went a but closer though ad Kilmarnock was suddenly looking really dangerous. 10 men for 70 odd minutes was rangers best chance to try level the goal difference, in hope that they can muster up half a performance against this truly dominante celtic side. Next week predictions? 5-1.

John McGlynn named the manager of the year. Fickle world football, this time last year I wanted him gone after getting horsed 6-2 by Airdrie in the play-offs. Took me months to forgive the man for that.

Big day tomorrow with the top of the table clash. A must-win game for Rangers, the league could be essentially decided, or taken to the very last day. In the latter case, with a guaranteed 3rd and 2nd out of reach, how motivated would Hearts be against a Rangers side gunning for the title? It's been a very long time since I've heard so many positive vibes from Celtic ahead of a Rangers game, which always makes me anxious as form goes totally out the window for the Glasgow derby. Either way, I think it will be another thriller.

How many times will silva dive today? I'm going for 4. 2 each half.
Silva actually showed there’s a half decent player in there somewhere today.However, great first half from Celtic, should have been 4 or 5 and if the penalty had gone in it probably would have. Maybe the red card was planned, because Rangers played better with 10 than 11, but Hart still didn’t have to make a save in the half. O’Reilly will be a huge loss, but the board need to spend some money - there’s plenty to hand, and a lot of positions need better.

Feels good being champions again. Looking forward to the new look champions league. We play 8 different teams, 4 home and 4 away. That's some good variety.
