I know television dictates, but it can't be a debut apart.
you know it could be the same time and it's up for people what game they want to choose to play or put it on another Sky channel as well yeah exactly whatever game they want to go and choose to go to quite a number of channels there because if you want that freedom but the team that's leading it I wonder if you look back and Hearts weren't at the top of the league I'll tell you what Hearts wouldn't have been on first that's for sure they wouldn't have been on Sky never mind anything else I think it's something that probably Celtic especially and Rangers and Europe and stuff have probably grown used to a bit more so I do think that maybe I say a mother or a Hearts being the Sunday would be a bit more nervy for them
Peter what would you say?
I think Danny Rowe gave them momentum Celtic to be perfectly honest with you because I said at the weekend Celtic were dead and buried really at half time that's the way I felt I thought I was delighted it was only 2-0 because Rangers had dominated and everything and then he goes on about duels and how important they are
Celtic never won a second ball, Rangers were going long, because they knew they were doing that, so they got, and I thought the way they played was really good, they got up to the front men, they got it back in the middle of the pitch, they got it to their wide players, Mikey Moore was excellent, his two strikers worked the centre backs, and they knew their pressing style, all these things they'd done exceptionally well, so it allowed Rangers to be further up the pitch,
As soon as he made the substitution, and I know people say Diamonde, they would want Diamonde to start.
It was different because all of a sudden you see the frustration that comes in to Cermete.
Can't press.
Kassama was on as a sub and he's playing it right back near enough.
And every ball that Rangers cleared out their box, Callum McGregor picked up on a Celtic centre-back or a Rojo, you know, or...
Sarachi they picked the ball up and just kept the ball and kept the ball and if you notice that's where the goal came from I think he's substitution and people say ah well Nadiri's this Nadiri's that he's not at this or not at that fine he should have played Diamante then as a tenant and people are saying to me oh I put Diamante on to do that no he didn't he went flat three in the middle of the pitch what he'd done at Celtic Park which he needed to do at Celtic Park because they were so bad against Celtic in the first period they got out of jail and he played in there to
cover that gap that was a completely different way he'd done it so I think the manager made his first mistake I thought was at Celtic Park in the first half his second mistake was on Saturday taking the centre forward off Stephen
I was really surprised when I seen the stats, Paul.
I must admit, considering what Rangers were like in the first half, you'd think Sinisola never had any saves really to make.
I just think Danny Rowe there, I know the point he's talking about, if you remember at Charmitty, backheels the ball in the middle of the pitch, they give the ball away, right?
So that's fine.
And he did make an error there because they were on the counter to Celtic at that particular time.
But if you look at the difference how Sinasolo could get the ball to Dane Murray or Liam Scales, easily, in the first half, not one Celtic defender could lift his head.
to play the ball.
Son of Solo, who's he going to kick it to?
