Cantwell is a nasty player. His constant feigning injury will not make him popular. A £2 million player at best.
He was absolutely flying into challenges from the get go too. The kind you see in the lower leagues where a player comes up against someone much better and just tries to get physical to counteract it.I can't pretend I have much sympathy for Neilson. He came across as rather unpleasant too often.
Hearts looked certainties for 3rd place weeks ago. It sounds like a divide in the dressing room resulting in a slump in forum. I thought with the European money they'd be able to establish themselves as a stronger club. They've blown it.
I hope they have more imagination than giving Levein the job.

How many of the current managers in the SPL have won anything as a manager (not as assistant)?
Is it just three - Ange P, Teak McInness, Callum Davidson?
SPL is definitely a journeyman merry go round.
Jim Goodwin won the league cup with St Mirren. Is it just three - Ange P, Teak McInness, Callum Davidson?
SPL is definitely a journeyman merry go round.
The chances of them winning anything in Scotland is slim due to the dominance of Celtic.

Another reason they will never be invited to the EPL ,who would tarnish a billion pound brand with their medieval s
t….Disappointing result, right tactics and probably strongest squad available to the manager put out and two individual mistakes and an atrocious refereeing decision throws it away.
Clancy quite simply can’t be trusted to referee an old firm match again. His absolute horror show in 2019 should have put an end to it but yet again he’s made sure he’s a talking point at the end of the game.
That however is overshadowed by the two absolutely suicidal moments of defending. Davies took the harder option to try and keep it in then made a pathetic flap to header it when he realised the mistake he made, he could have easily just put it out for a corner and re-grouped.
Souttars was unexplainable, McGregor was slower than a week in the jail getting out to it too. The difference between the two teams was shown with Celtic pouncing on the mistakes and rangers being powder puff in attack

We've had a season of you telling this thread it's IMPOSSIBLE to make wrong decisions with so many officials and VAR. We've had you justifying every tiny tug and push as a technically a foul.
Talking about fans putting pressure on referees. One decision, that didn't even cross over into the clear and obvious error category, and here you are calling the integrity of the official into question demanding he has to be removed.
Remarkable turnaround now a decision has finally not gone in Rangers favour.

Not called his integrity into question, I’ve called his competence into question. He’s a truly abysmal ref We've had you justifying every tiny tug and push as a technically a foul.

Glad you mentioned the Clancy. There is normally a forensic analysis of every decision in a Rangers game and it seems to lacking after this game for some reason despite his decisions being the main talking point of the match. If Clancy had called the Morelos goal correctly then I don't think Rangers lose that match. The decision changed the momentum of the game.

Other than the two defensive mistakes there is a lot of positives to take from the game. The tactics were spot on as you said, and the performance was a major improvement over our last visit. Hopefully the right additions are made in the next transfer window.

When is a two handed push in the back that causes an opponent to fall over not a free kick? Absolute madness that this is even a debate.
Swap it round. If Johnston does that to Morelos as the ball comes in and easily clears it as a result, it’s a penalty.
Johnston isn't trying to play the ball and has a hold of Morelos. Morelos tries to break free and Johnston makes the most of the contact and dives to the ground. It was such a bad decision Walker, Sutton and Hartson all think Celtic got off with it.Swap it round. If Johnston does that to Morelos as the ball comes in and easily clears it as a result, it’s a penalty.
