Sad to hear of his struggles this year.

RIP Bertie Auld. Another legend of the game gone.

The other mob have appointed a manager who’s record at his last club 7 wins in 23 games no wonder he got chased.

[abzmike]

A club making an emotional appointment after a successful manager leaves in a hurry - sound familiar?

[Driver101]

I remember him being a polite guy, so that should be a positive rather than Gerrard stirring things.

I think it's a tough job. He'll be judged on Gerrard from last season. It's not a fair comparison with circumstances and he won't have the money Gerrard got. With the mess of Rangers' finances he should be selling off players making the comparison very unfair.

[RudeBoy]

He’s Dutch so they can have orange strips and the bigots will be happy.

First final for big Ange and a lovely tribute for Bertie.

20% possession for the most successful club last year, no wonder SlippyG shat it and bailed first chance he got.

Good luck to Hibs tomorrow because they will need it with a man getting sent off and a penalty against if it’s still a draw.

[RudeBoy]

Well that sets up an all green final.
Congratulations to Hibs great result.

Hopefully now even the bigots will realise what a monumental achievement the Qu4druple Tr3ble was while also winning 9 League Titles in a row.

P.S. Social media is in meltdown and Mr Gerrard is getting a new one torn for him.
Along with Tav, Goldson and the £40m man Morelos and we do do walking away Davies!

Aye the peeepuls mask is slipping and the Old clubs bile is never far from the surface.

[Driver101]

Rangers have been shipping goals and looking weak most of the season. This was coming even with Gerrard.

I do think after all the recent high profile incidents that Rangers missing from the final is a good thing.

Jota gets well deserved player of the month.

He gets better every time I see him. At 22yo a buy clause at the end of the season loan for 7.5M Euro looks like a bit of a bargain.

[Driver101]

He looks a quality player. I think the buyout option has to be taken up soon. Wait until the end of the season and he's going to have a lot of clubs interested.

[RudeBoy]

Celtic fill their stadium and then pack out opposition grounds when the home support don’t go and then they reach a final and they want 50/50,
Give your heads a shake.

[RudeBoy]

A statement read out from an empty Celtic Park about why they are there and not the ibrokes which makes the new club look really pathetic to be honest.

Celtic have a massive test tonight and a draw would be incredible but we will see how far the bhoys have progressed under Big Ange.

C’mon the Hoops.

[DocJock]

Leverkusen keeper should have got a red card, ot a yellow. Outrageous assault.

[Driver101]

It was worse than made out.

Keepers often get away with contact on players, but that was too dangerous.

That was a penalty, but keepers are going to end up standing tall soon. They'd save more standing up with the amount going down the middle.

[RudeBoy]

This was always going to be a very tough test for Celtic and you can see what Ange is building and bodes well for the future.

[Driver101]

Exciting game of football with lots of drama.

The Celtic defence is still terrible and can't do the most basic stuff right. The amount of basic mistakes stands out a mile. Set pieces are amateur.

Big Juillluen to come back so we have 4 Centre half’s to try and get a good pairing and if we can find a decent left back we can put Juranovich back where he belongs and I think we will be a lot better defensively.
I think MacGregor had one of his poorer games tonight and things started to fall apart when Bitton went off and he had one of his better games.
Our bench was as weak as nuns piss and Ange must be backed in the winter window because we have a decent 11 but nothing to back it up?

Yes agree with that. Julien is the premier defender at the club and has been out for a year - he should be like a big new signing when he comes back.
Ange has to get backing... the league is there to be won but more resources are needed from front to back.
