I'm sure Edouard only missed that chance to make sure I got 40 points. What a miss it was too.

Aberdeen were the better team. Forster was all over the shop with the wind and looked in a blind panic with every ball in the air.

Another good goal to win the game. Hayes should have done better a few minutes before. For all Aberdeen were the better team Celtic did create the clear chances.

The win does feel like a significant step to winning the league.

I only watched the last 20 mins or so but Aberdeen did seem the stronger side. It's a mark of how good 5his Celtic team is that they can still grind out a result when clearly playing below their best.

Squeaky bum time at the end for Hibs in a match they dominated. The change in formation just drew Killie on to us.

Not sure I would have changed to 4-4-2 at that point if I'd been Jack Ross. Good result though. If we beat Livi next week then we're fifth and not too far behind Aberdeen and Motherwell.

We were one point ahead of Hears when Jack Ross joined us and look at the gap now.

[DocJock]

Aye, he's definitely had a positive effect. Le's hope he keeps it up.

[Driver101]

Sounds as if we're not getting to see a fun game tonight.

[Driver101]

This was a second booking for a dive. The appeal was rejected. How can that be explained? It's a blatant foul.

How can the club be fined for incidents that the players are guilty of? Surely it has to be a disciplinary matter for the individuals if they are guilty of something and not a club fine?

The decisions made are just bamboozling.

Another thriller tonight.

Some interesting QF ties but I can’t see past Hearts, Hibs, Celtic and Aberdeen in the semi finals.

[Driver101]

Sounds like it. Scoring an OG in injury time of extra time must be as bad as missing a penalty.

It'll be good highlights of the last couple of nights.

Absolutely atrocious!! This is random/anonymous panel making this decision is wrong and the SFA is a laughing stock again. I can't fathom who looks at that and goes....yep 100% a dive! Bonkers, truly is!!
The club made a strong statement saying 'If the individuals involved in the tribunal can watch the footage and call this simulation, there can be no other conclusion other than they do not understand football'....i'll await them getting fined for that!!

You don't even need to understand football to see there is clear contact to trip the guy up.

There is something really wrong with the panel with the ridiculous and inconsistent decisions they are making.

[Driver101]

ICT's statement reads really fair. This does need addressed to let the guy play in the final.

[Katzenjammer]

I’m friendly with a guy who often acts a panel member. It’s really interesting to have his take and explanation for refereeing decisions. I can’t say much more than that, but he likes reminding me that there are only 17 laws in football.

Celtic had the chances to settle that tonight. Copenhagen were the better side in the second half though.

The penalty was probably a penalty. The yellow was not merited at all.


Rangers on now. The pitch is a mess. Braga should be winning.

Braga are winning.

The Rangers need to get a grip or this tie could be all over by half time...

[R.Sole]

My wife just asked what all the rubbish was on the pitch%?

It’s Rangers I replied!

[Driver101]

It's a bit poor the games are too close together to get a summary. The Forster penalty save hasn't been covered.

[R.Sole]

Never saw that comeback happening!

[Driver101]

Wow. Didn't see that coming. Braga should have won that game with ease. It could have been 5 or 6 early doors.

It makes for a second leg now.

Never has a famous son had such an impact on a result at Ibrox since Andrew Dallas.
