How do you get it wrong when you're holding the paper with the answers on it?
very complimentary about James Tavernier and then leaving him out there will be a lot of questions and I think Danny Rule will have to field a lot of questions about it post-match I said to you the very first words I said to you it will deepen the rift between some Rangers supporters and Danny Rule they will not understand
well the three horse race is now a two horse race and obviously there was a lot of things happening yesterday I'm sure we'll go over it in the show tonight but as Alec alluded to there the big one at the bottom St Mirren, Kilmarnock, St Mirren
it's not even a striker I don't the way he flicks it up before he's selling any the acrobatic overhead kick and it just loops right in the top corner he couldn't have went up there and placed it any better it was unbelievable fantastic finish we've seen a fantastic overhead kick in the previous fixture with the Rangers at Ibrox which are matey
and then Dyson goes and does one better it's unbelievable I've already seen people trying to work out what's better out of that and the well that and the Charmitty overhead kick but also Martin O'Neill was asked about the well you could bring that into it as well Martin O'Neill was asked about the Henrik Larsson lob in 2000 against Rangers in terms of Celtic goals against Rangers Oh for Larsson that many years ago now that was incredible I think that was probably the way Larsson takes it and nutmegs one of the Rangers players and then dinks it over Stefan Klos that was an incredible incredible goal Thanks for reminding us Brian Yep Remember it well Sorry Alex
no listen they're all so good in their own right but I couldn't pick one they were all incredible goals what about howler of the weekend it could be an individual performance it could be a manager it could be a refereeing decision I just think for me you'll probably know lightly I'm going to say this but
Lawrence Shanklin's big chance with Stephen O'Donnell gets back in the block I think it is an unbelievable block it is an unbelievable block but Lawrence being Lawrence a top top striker fantastic goal scorer I think he smiles because he thinks he's already scored before he gets the ball in the back of the net and it's so unlike him but in true style he comes back and scores but that was my howler of the week
I'm going to go for John Beaton and VAR.
I think it's Dijs de Maida.
He gets the two goals.
He gets Celtic right in this title race and...
he was unplayable yesterday he missed a couple of chances but he's all good players he keeps going and gets himself another double he's been fantastic for Celtic in the last couple of weeks and who knows he might get them that title Top performer Alex?
no I totally agree with you there the money Rangers spent in the transfer window you let a kid because he's a young boy maybe he deserved a chance at Rangers and he's went to Camarnock and he's shown what he's all about and he's been down there and helped Neil McCann and Billy Dodge so Rangers might rule that loan deal right then 01419511025 maybe you're a Celtic fan that wants to focus on the podcast
finance this manager and trying to be balanced and fair to Danny Rowe he said one transfer window which is not a great deal it's not a good mark either that time in January when the money he spent and the players he brought in you could see the buzz that were round about the Rangers supporters they fought and by the way a lot of us fought as well that they came out of that so strongly and everybody kind of thought Rangers could go on to win this title the fact that Rangers had only lost two games up until the post split fixtures to then go on free and lose free on a row when you're pushing for a club like Rangers to go and win a title
that is simply not good enough and by the way I've been on this show in the last couple of weeks and I've said about Danny Rowe and I felt and I still do feel he deserves a pre-season and get these same players in because at the same time it's easy to shout at the manager the players that are there need to take a huge responsibility this is now the second manager at Rangers and if you actually look at the game yesterday Rangers started extremely well
Romans and Tavernier had the freedom of Celtic Park on the flanks The two, Mikey Moore and Ant-Man were coming into the pockets Tying up Celtic's full backs Rangers' problem was the quality They could not get the ball to those wide players to really go and hurt them And on a few occasions where they actually did get it to Tavernier He would hit the first man and that is so unlike him So there were signs of Rangers starting extremely well They get the first goal But as soon as Celtic get level And then obviously they score the two goals in the second half
he needs to be quicker and I just don't think he's got it So here's one for you Mark for example if Danny Rowe does go who would you like to see as a Rangers manager going forward then?
the second goal where Giga I don't know where Giga's going I know there's a Celtic player in front of him but he can speak to I think it's Connor Barron Connor Barron get him to help you stay in your position stay compact don't breach your line don't breach your line when the ball goes wide if he's in his position he clears it but he's not he gets sucked under the ball ball over the tap Taveriers get his hand up for offside Celtic are in ball across and Fernandes for me as well he's got to open his body he's got to see Maida coming across him and be a defender get your arm across him block him
It's not just that.
It's the first time for 26 years they've lost three in a bounce as well.
