another big win tonight for scotland. what a great run of results.
If you just look at the stats, Scotland must be the most efficient team in world football.

3 games, 3 wins, 3 clean sheets, 2 shots on target, 2 goals.
1 penalty shoot out, 5 penalties scored.

If Jose Mourinho achieved those stats with Real Madrid he’d be getting lauded as a tactical genius.

Also with 3 successes behind closed doors does this mean it’s the tartan army that’s the jinx hehe

We all know Steve Clarke was the real reason for Mourinho’s success at Chelsea.

St Mirren have had a further two positive tests and another player has to self isolate. That's their second outbreak to disrupt teams for the league, but didn't they also have positive tests just before the season started?

They are more unlucky than the rest.

Even with all the players out, I bet nobody predicted that Celtic team. Strange choices there.

A very soft goal for Celtic to lose. Elyounoussi should have equalised. A few last man blocks by Rangers, but no other clear chances.

Morelos should have been off again. He slapped Brown on the head and intentionally went with the elbow into Duffy's ribs.

Two bad goals for Celtic to lose, and devoid of pace and ideas. Rangers too thier chances but far too east for them.

80 minutes gone and still not a single shot on target for Celtic - didn’t expect this from them.

Strange game. As for most games this season Celtic really lacked any effort. There is something seriously wrong in their camp.

Rangers had far more effort and desire. Some decent passing, but they were hardly hard pressed. Both goals were soft or broke lucky.

Rangers attacking players didn't do much either.

Celtic didn’t deserve anything from that game and I have serious reservations about Barkas!
Lennon has some thinking to do and get a Eddie back firing on on cylinders or the league could slip away.

Celtic didn't turn up today!!! There was no desire, no aggression, no answer for Rangers. 0 shots on target, only 1 attempt in the 2nd 45.

While Goldson got the 2 goals, Glen Kamara is man of the match for me.

You can say that the 1st goal was soft from your perspective but Goldsons movement to step back onside was fantastic.

The lack of final third quality from both sides forwards should be a concern though.

Think what you want, he's right

Rangers had a plan, stuck to it and dominated.

Celtic were awful

You're right about a Celtic but dominated is a bit of a stretch!

I dont know?

To go to parkhead and not allow celtic to play? They had plenty of possession at the back when not under pressure but in the critical areas they couldn't pose a threat.

At parkhead. One nil up you’d be biting your nails in the second half. Not today
