We can laugh at each other and cheer on those playing against our clubs in Europe but let this sink in. The Cypriot league is now ranked above the Scottish league!!
One of the easiest ways for A N Other club to earn real money to close the gap on Old Firm finances is European football. It’s just getting more and more difficult to reach the groups

We are an utter joke. Look at the Midgies who outclassed us. 12,000 seater stadium. Our waiting list is more. From a town of 60,000, 2,000 less than our stadium capacity. They have a third of our budget. Their record signing is less than £6m. Yet, they beat Forrest away, could have scored 7 against us and had a better player in every position. I console myself in the fact Dermot told us they are brilliant at recruitment. Phew. That's a weight off.
Next season CL I think whoever wins the league has 1 playoff. After that its 3. Fall any further and we will be told to fuck off altogether. And who could blame them?
Souttar having a nightmare along with a few others
The drop off the last few months is worrying. Maybe a position we ll be looking to strengthen in the January window
I’m having a nightmare of a Saturday. Went to Neilston Juniors v Largs Thistle which finished 1-0 Neilston. Drove home in time to watch Raith Rovers lose 3-0 to bottom of the league Airdrie and now this! lol
Can Celtics useful idiot , Willie Collum, survive the latest nonsense involving our officials and dodgy decisions?
You might have missed it in the media in a week which they’ve dedicated to a debatable decision against Livingston more than an hour before the final whistle but once more Celtic benefit from a dodgy result changing decision! Even if you agree it should be disallowed the referee still has to make the call as it’s subjective not a factual decision. Going to be fun watch the useful idiot jumping through Hoops explaining why referee isn’t called to the side of the pitch to make decision
Regarding the Livingston penalty. I have said for me it’s a penalty but the SFA quickly , too quickly, issued statements giving reasons why it wasn’t ( claimed it hit defenders knee) the reason completely contradicts what the useful idiot had said in his VAR show regarding other decisions.
Livingston chairman has now stated in the media the SFA have changed their minds again and are now saying it was a Penalty! It’s little wonder why our officials are all over the place with the Useful idiot sending out contradictory statements.
Earlier in the season Rangers were awarded a penalty v Alloa (iirc) in similar circumstances , not identical as the Alloa handball saved a certain goal, very tough decision on Alloa and the useful idiot used his VAR show to say while under the IFAB guidelines it was a penalty in the future Scottish officials would NOT be awarding a penalty in similar circumstances after discussing it with their ‘shareholders’ ( I’ve no idea who he’s talking about) … All we want is consistency and for officials to apply the laws of the game fairly and even handedly!! If it was a penalty for Rangers then it should be a penalty for Livingston!!
Collum has to go for the benefit of all ( well all bar one club).

You got awsy with 4 decisions againstvus, including two penalties and a goal. You're Brethren blatantly cheated again on Saturday to give you 3 points. And you still try to paint its you who fet a raw deal. An actual fucking joke and everybody knows it. Never fails to make me smile. It's all the refs, take a look at how your ludge dwelling refs have always helped you. Always. Get you prescription in, we arent going anywhere but up.
And you call others delusional.
If you actually read the post I’m laying the blame for refereeing standards at the door of the useful idiot. He was THE worst official and the most unpopular among managers , players, pundits, supporters and got the job for one reason and one reason only. We all know why
Refereeing standards in this country have fallen after Celtic forced out Hugh Dallas , widely regarded as one of the best referees of his generation.
And repeating a lie over and over never makes it true …..
Make it true?

And today Cheatin Beaton caught yet again, giving you all the help the Brethren could. Blatant with that bawfaced ****. In a long line.
Who was that other cheating bastard who used to wear Rangers socks under his ref ones?
Or that fat bastard who sent off Johnny Doyle when his cross hit him on the head? You couldn't make it up.
And old Hugh the bigot getting caught being a ****. He shoukd have just worn your jersey..
The Minister ref who cheated Levein and Utd and us that day. Helped you win a title those 3 points.
Cadette goal at Ibrix.
This list is endless. Just because you refuse to see it, doesnt make it not true.

Rangers now 9 pts behind Hearts. And 12 goals. And have only just over half the wins that Hearts have (9 compared to 5}. I still think it's probably a two horse race, like I said a few weeks back. If Celtic win their game in hand, they'll go top. O'Neill seems to have got them back to somewhere near their best, though they apparently weren't great today. But they won.
