Killie were doing fine and probably should have been ahead before chucking away 2 goals right before half time with some inexplicably poor defending. I've watched us under the cosh at Ibrox plenty of times but today wasn't one of those days, Rangers were creating nothing of note and Vassell was clean through but unfortunately has zero confidence whatsoever right now and has been the case for some time.

At 2 zip down you're up against it but what you then can't do is throw a lifeline away barely a couple of minutes after being handed one and that's exactly what Killie did. We'll play worse this season and win, but just can't afford to defend like that at either of the old firm.

It can be easier to accept a loss when you've played shite (as long as it isn't a serious twatting). But it's annoying when you've been more or less okay in the game, and Keystone Cops defending does for you.
 
Unlucky for the Saints player; there was no malice in it. He only had eyes for the ball, and was trying to score. But under the modern rules ("endangering an opponent"), I suppose he had to go. Studs up, and he caught Hart on the head. Fair play to Joe, though; he didn't come over all amateur dramatics about it. I suppose that if he hadn't been sent off, the ref would be facing questions from whatever the Scottish equivalent of PGMOL is.

I’d love to agree with you but I thought it was a stick on Red card. It’s high , dangerous, straight leg, studs in the face.

I tried watching the game but totally gutless performance from The Buddies who’ve been on a pretty poor run , Aberdeen result aside, and a far cry from their early season form

You lot are a complete embarrassment. Zero dignity or self awareness whatsoever. It's been over a week now. Institutionalised corruption ffs lol

And this sort of response is exactly why we are where we are.

Nobody is talking about institutional corruption.

Stuart Gilmour ex St Mirren chairman.

‘Scottish football is set up to benefit one club’

Stewart Milne Ex Aberdeen Chairman.

‘Peter Lawwell has far too much power within Scottish football’

Direct quotes (more or less from two chairman of top clubs’

George Peat ex SFA president ….

Former SFA president George Peat has revealed he received a phonecall from a prominent club chairman begging him not to help Rangers "in any way". Back in 2008 the Ibrox club had reached the UEFA Cup Final

Hugh Dallas , one of the best and most respected referees we’ve ever had, forced out of his position as head of referees by a campaign of hate fronted by one club!

Celtic supporters Association hiring a private detective to follow Jim McLuskey as they believed (wrongly) he was in the Orange Order!

Dougie McDonald forced out the game for getting a decision correct but later lied to Celtic manager Neil Lennon. Willie Collum has now lied THREE times after getting decisions wrong against Rangers but no action taken

Mike McCurry forced out after Celtic campaigned against him when it emerged he was a minister and had described Jesus as ‘Simply The Best’

Neil Lennon , while playing for Celtic , physically assaulted a referee. He was handed a 1 game suspension!!! Where was the backing of the officials from the SFA? The media outcry? The officials demanding action?

We had an unprecedented strike by our officials. We had to bring in foreign officials. The great irony being they awarded a penalty against Celtic!!

We have had this media campaign about no league penalty against Rangers led by Peters puppets, Not one mention of a single incident that should have been a penalty just meaningless stats. Rangers have conceded four penalties this season in domestic football. FOUR! One club in the top division have not conceded penalties. Guess who?

Surely everybody wants improvements to the game? At the moment those in charge are men placed there by one man! They are there to benefit one club as highlighted by those in the know. Maybe you are perfectly happy to survive on the scraps Peter lets you have. Sorry but I want to play on an even playing field.

Just for the record. I know for an absolute fact that two brothers who were top level officials cheated Celtic. They openly bragged about it. One said the evening before an Old Firm game ‘I’ll tell you one thing. Those ****** bastards will get nothing tomorrow’. We laughed it off and at that time my season tickets were in the Family Stand so I watched the game with a friend who had been with me the previous night. Celtic had a goal disallowed for off side but replays showed the scorer was clearly onside. Game finished 1-1!

Anybody who believes that this doesn’t happen is kidding themselves. Ask any Morton fans about Craig Thompson!

Rangers have to see this through and other clubs should be asking the same questions!

I take it you haven't actually read the thing you posted? It literally says Institutionalised corruption is clear as day.
