Rangers done ok last night.

A betting man might think they'll be the only Scottish team left in any European competition very soon.
Celtic drop to the Europa League if they lose to AEK.

I can't see Celtic winning in Greece. I didn't see anything of the Hibs game to gauge if they have a chance or not.

Stevie Gerrard won't be complaining about decisions going against his team after last night.

I don't think the Maribor goal was as shot.

The BBC have put up a few minutes highlight of the Hibs game.

That would have been some goal by Mallon if it was 2 inches lower.

Both teams had a few really good chances.

Just a wee point, but if they don't win against AEK, Celtic would play either Malmo or MOL Vidi in a EL playoff. Rangers will play winners of FC Ufa or Progres Niederkorn.

Well done to Rangers , four games into the season and the change from last year is massive. Mr Gerrard has made quite a difference already, should be an interesting season with all the other teams strenghening too.

Aye four Scottish teams are undefeated this season in Europe in 90 mins - not bad going. 17 games or something. Obviously that includes the Dons going oot with 2 draws.

I’m not overly aware of the other teams getting stronger, could someone elaborate?

Well my lot certainly aren't.

Losing McGeough or McGinn could possibly have been coped with, but losing both definitely weakens us.

That makes things more exciting. However teams like Aberdeen need to win today.

I see Villa fans already purring over McGinn. Sounds like he's at the middle of everything today.

Amazing how a "pub league" player is worth peanuts and Jack Grealish £40m. McGinn is the better player.

Good weekend from an outsiders perspective - Celtic losing - great effort Hearts and Stevie G continuing the rise at Rangers.

Stevie G on BBC website said:
"The sending-off was completely different to last week when we felt hard done by, said our piece and got justice in terms of the decision being overturned," he said.

"I thought the officials were really, really good today. They got the decision spot-on and we've got no complaints.

"I've spoken to the team and praised them for the result. But I've also spoken about discipline and composure out there. It's difficult enough with 11 men.

"We're picking up too many red and yellow cards for my liking. But we'll learn and grow.

"It was Ross' job to put the fires out and stop counter-attacks and he was doing really well. It was unfortunate for him but I can't blame anyone else or shift the blame to protect him."
Rangers manager accepting referees decisions when they’re not demonstrably mistakes. Perhaps he does have some class after all.

That is a real blow for all of Scottish football.

Our co-efficient will make it very difficult for clubs to progress in europe next season.

We needed Celtic to go into the group stage to boost it.

Celtic never looked at the races tonight. However over the two games they were the better team. Two really bad bits of defending and two soft goals.

The pressure has ramped right up with everything that has happened in the last couple of weeks.

The Boyata situation is a disgrace. I can't believe a player like him has got too big for his boots. A couple of half decent games against Tunisia and Panama and he thinks he's a world beater.

On saying that another team thought the same. laugh
