On the one hand, you could say that if hearts are pipped for the title, now it would be cruel.

On the other hand, you could say Martin O'Neill has twice had to come in and bail Celtic out of trouble.

And if he wins the title, under the circumstances he has been forced to work with,

and I think Tunecky coming on just gave a little bit of freshness and a little bit more direct play in terms of the wingers got on it and they attacked Rangers fullbacks a lot more and I think it really helped the team going forward and I think that will help tonight The one I'm looking at tonight is Benjamin Negrim he's become a bit of a myth for me he's got one goal in his last nine games I mean he's still contributed a lot of goals throughout the season more than any other Celtic player but now we're pushed

getting the shove here and one goal in his last nine games we've praised Maeda for scoring goals in the latter part of the season and you have to look at Nigren who stopped scoring goals in the latter part of the season and if he's not scoring goals he contributes nothing to the match let's get the thoughts of John who's a Celtic fan in Coatbridge John is that the team that you would have gone for?

Tony would agree with me I think he's a most natural finisher there's a very simple reason John why he can't start matches he's unfit he's immobile and he is a lovely finisher when a chance presents itself in the last 5 or 10 minutes of the game but I am fitter than Kelechi Iheanacho and I am 76

It deepens the rift between Danny Rule and the Rangers support.

It's an insensitive thing to do.

Do you think so?

Because there are a lot of Rangers supporters out there that maybe haven't been James Tavernier's biggest fan over the years Yeah but at the same time they will park all that and give him a dignified respectful farewell except there will be no farewell now and it's a black mark against Danny Rule's name

It's not what James Tavernier deserves.

And I think it shows that Danny Rowe is...

Paul Simon, Celia, you're breaking my heart.

Paul Simon, weren't you?

I just think it's quite poor on the club's behalf I don't buy this I do understand yeah Billy I don't understand this thing about the future the season the season's got a matter of four days to go yep Rangers are cemented in third place nothing alters there and of course the future is important but you've got all summer to take care of the future I think there's a slap in the face for Tavernier and I think it's in terms of the optics

It shows that Danny Rule doesn't really understand these surroundings.

Speculation that we can't confirm or deny is best left alone, to be frank.

You have to give your own personal opinion.

I don't think it's a strong decision.

I think it's a stupid decision because there are only four days to go.
