full card in the top league this evening and an ayrshire derby in the championship. Could be tasty.

Celtic 2 up after 20 mins. I knew I should have went to this one. Could this be a commemorative DVD kind of score line?

Should have been a couple more. That offside decision was a shocker. Jota was miles onside.

Celtic haven't played that well tonight. Aberdeen have been very poor. They have no confidence at all.

Bit of a humdinger, 2-0 then suddenly 3-2. I will be having strong words with my 6 year old who refused to go tonight, scuppering the whole thing

Exciting game in the end.

The game should have been done at halftime and Celtic switched off for the second half. Equally Aberdeen came out with their A game in the second half. Aberdeen fans have to be angered how they only turn up sometimes. They are a better team than the league shows.

Still Celtic will look to the disallowed goal in the first half and Bates challenge on Abada looked a red to me.

The second half Aberdeen put up a real fight and made it physical. The foul count looks strange again with the nature of the game.

Jota was the difference tonight. It's strange watching Celtic that every game someone takes the lead and wins the game.

The referee got a lot of decisions wrong tonight but that was not one of them. I thought there could have been 3 penalties. The referee's have been terrible in the last two games. It's not often that you have players arguing with officials after a 5-0 win and even rarer that Hibs and Rangers fans sing together against officials.

Don’t think anyone could anyone could argue that it wasn’t a penalty. Nick Walsh was absolutely rotten last night, he got tav and barasic’s booking correct but he killed the flow of the game constantly.

Rangers had a good game, some of the passing at times was tremendous. our biggest weakness is that we go up and down the gears too often, keep a high intensity,kill the game and if the players run out of the steam we are now back to the 5 subs so just bring a like for like on player on.

Morelos was absolutely fantastic last night, Kent had a great game and so did tav.

Can see maloney trying to play out from the back but his players just aren’t good enough, too many times rangers were on them and caught them in there own half or the keeper played it out and hibs CB’s just punted it right up to a rangers player.

It's not really though. Do you have figured for other teams or even other refs do a comparison can be made? Do you dispute any of the decisions? You really need to provide some context if you want to go down the conspiracy theory route.

Exactly this , stats can be skewed to fit any agenda.

Walsh has gave rangers the most yellow cards than any other team this season.if you expand that to his career he’s gave rangers three times the yellow cards he has to Celtic.
He is also almost twice as likely to give a foul against rangers than he is against Celtic with 11.40 per game vs 6.00 for Celtic this season.

As you can see I’ve painted a very one-sided picture but most of the Celtic fans in here will disagree.

  • Just seen on Twitter too that fouls per card rangers get one every 6.2 fouls and Celtic 9.1
Quite the conspiracy.

A lot will of course depend on how bad the fouls were.

No surprise really. Aberdeen should never be down in 9th.

The team is better than the table shows. Too often the players have failed to turn up. They've let Glass down.

Willie Miller on the radio and he's put Neil Lennon's name in the hat along with Jim Goodwin and Malky Mackay. Somehow I'm predicting Lennon won't go down well. laugh

Arbroath had quite a few really good chances today, but other than small periods of the first half and second Hibs were comfortably better. Hibs' defence was a bit suspect and I thought Rocky was shaky.

Arbroath should have been two up although that would have caused uproar. I've seen it a few times where a player is offside and goes for the ball before changing his mind. Hibs totally switched off. The cross should have picked the Arbroath player standing in the box. When the Hibs player then passed it to him he should have scored. It was a bizarre passage of play and would have been funny if they scored.

The team, stadium and park isn't ready for promotion. It's a great story for them, but Arbroath aren't going to add anything to the Premiership if they make it.

The Arbroath ‘stadium’ had a nice array of green portaloos at the back of one of the terrace ends hehe
