Still not sure quite how Hibs managed to lose today. Their inconsistency is so frustrating. Well played Motherwell.

[Algarve]

That was a great finish from St Johnstone. I was starting to think I watched the wrong game as the 3rd goal hits the net in the spurs game, but that's given me hope

[Driver101]

The better team one.

Livingston offered little after going behind. The entire second half they did nothing. The same punt and hope tactic was never working, but they didn't change anything. They look knackered early in the game.

St Johnstone put a lot more effort in.

Morelos reputation coming back to haunt him yet again... stonewall penalty and he gets booked for diving. Frustrating but he's not entirely blameless for the situation

edit: can see where morelos gets the attitude from... manager yellowed for talking back then sent off

[dalzo]

Absolutely shocking decision to book Alfredo, Beaton is a terrible ref, Livingston are constantly fouling and he’s booked one of them, add the pitch into the mix and it’s not making much of a game.

Rangers need to up the tempo and get the goal

Fireworks have been the best bit so far

[dalzo]

I’d love to see the stats of how many time the livi keeper (and there back four) have kicked the ball right into Allan McGregors hands

He booked Allan McGregor for time wasting when Rangers were making a substitution

Scotland might lose the right to host Euro 2020 games if it can't be confirmed fans can go.

think it’s safe to say we won’t be hosting any matches then!!! absolutely gutted, already have tickets for all the hampden games and would’ve been my first time getting to a game with us in a major tournament.

From reading some stuff around this- uefa have been considering going as low as 25/30% capacity, with contingency in place to increasing capacity last minute if possible. But I just don’t see how the government will give any reassurance we’ll even be allowing fans (15/20k +) in a stadium by then, never mind capacity crowds

[Anonymous-poster]

Very quiet in here today considering all the vociferous condemnation of Celtic allegedly breaking Covid rules and their supporters outside paradise!
The government may have no choice but to halt the league now?

[Driver101]

Rangers can't even clinch the title today. Why is there gathering today?

I'd be more concerned with Rangers fans turning up to Celtic park in a couple of weeks. Celtic fans will turn up to stop that and it'll all kick off.

I can see the mass gatherings today reducing the chances of the Euro 2020 games further. Glasgow was always going to be the last place out of Covid restrictions. Would moving it to Murrayfield be a possibility?

I don't think anyone should be venturing out but really Celtic fans need to stay in their houses if they think Rangers fans will be out celebrating. Theres no reason for Celtic fans to be out in groups now Lennon has gone. Theres nothing to protest over. No need to come out and end up inevitably starting fights and trouble.

[dalzo]

Rangers were unbelievable today, Kent’s goal was superb, great performances all round by every player then lowered the tempo while still dominating to keep themselves for Thursday.

Welcome to the party!

[Algarve]

Yup, another brilliant performance and brilliant result. And to wrap it up early and let us rest players for Europe... it just doesn't get much better. 55 is coming, the most successful team in the country are back in their rightful place

That's one way of twisting it.

Rangers fans shouldn't be anywhere near Celtic park. It's as simple as that. We all know what will happen if they do. Fans will break all the Covid rules, but keep it at your own stadium.

The trouble won't be a one-sided event.

I can see the police having to close all the streets around the stadium to keep Rangers fans from travelling in.

They've got as much right to be there as the Celtic fans.

I think it would be foolish for any Rangers fans to go, but you can at least understand why they'd be there. To cheer for the team leaving as champions.

Theres no reason at all for Celtic fans to be there, other than to instigate trouble.

Sensational football at times from Rangers today. Kent's goal and his work for the third were a joy to watch.
Big loss for kilmarnock today and 6th place still up for grabs with some tasty ties in the last game before the split. Plenty of excitement.

What were the rangers evangelicals saying about police being assaulted outside ibrokes!
