Chapter 1: What was the outcome of the Celtic v Rangers match?
0141 951 1025 It's time to talk football It's Clyde One Super Scoreboard
Hugh Keevans, Gordon DL and Cammy Bell are in the studio. Scott Allen is still there at Celtic Park. Andrew McLean will be going down to get all the reaction to another blockbuster encounter between Celtic and Rangers. A 3-1 win for Celtic. A win that not only keeps their title hopes alive, but boosts them one point behind Hearts. with just two Premiership games to go.
How exciting is this going to be? It's also a result that not only rules Rangers out of any slim title hopes, it consigns them to third. They can't catch up on second place now either.
Chapter 2: How does this result affect Rangers' title hopes?
What does that mean for the season? How does it reflect on Danny Rule? And what do Rangers do going forward? As is always the case when these sides meet a few big talking points as well.
Within there Should Celtic's equaliser Have been ruled out For offside Was Alistair Johnson Lucky to stay on the pitch All of the above And more I am absolutely sure 0141 951 1025 But to kick off you It's about what this means Going forward
Sunday of consequences Celtic now in a position where if they win two games they win the title I put that into the miracle category given that they've had the Walford non-sea episode they've lost Brendan Rodgers they've brought in Martin O'Neill twice Martin O'Neill has been unbelievable for Celtic this season without him this doesn't happen absolutely nowhere near to happening without Martin O'Neill
For the other manager, Danny Rule, when the Celtic fans are saying your name, and I couldn't help but hear that when you were talking to Scott Allen, they are having a laugh at you. And Andrew Kavanagh can't have a man who is laughed at. And Andrew Kavanagh has to ask... The investment was huge, Ā£40 million, and Rangers finished third.
So Andrew Kavanagh has to ask himself and his other board members, did we do the right thing by appointing Danny Rule after doing the wrong thing by appointing Russell Martin in the first place? Day of heavy consequences for Rangers. A day of potential for Celtic.
A potential title is two games away. Let's dive straight in with the calls because Mark is first through. Mark, as a Rangers fan, sum up how you're feeling after that.
How are you doing? All right?
Yeah, good, thanks.
Despair.

Chapter 3: What are the implications of Celtic's performance on their title race?
Absolute despair. Naivety is the word I use with a lot of these players. They run around like headless chickens. I watched them fully in Rangers when I was a six-year-old. I'm 64 now. And what would I have done in his grave watch if he was watching that? Honesty to God. I don't know where to start with them.
I've lost... That's three games in a row now that I've watched them score one goal and trying to hold on to one goal against teams like Celtic. It's absolutely... Just... As I say, I don't know where we're going to go. Can he keep changing managers all the time? But again, he's taking on a team for a previous manager. I know they've spent that amount of money.
But I just don't know where we're going to go. Naivety is the word I keep seeing. Individuals, they don't seem to play as a team. And you're up against two wily old foxes in Derek McInnes and Martin O'Neill. and you've got the young pretender, and he's got a long way to go if that's the case. We need somebody with experience.
Chapter 4: How are fans reacting to Danny Rule's management?
I know he was at Bayern Munich, and that doesn't matter, but he's in charge of one of the biggest clubs in the world, and we are not performing like that.
What's led to this then? Because obviously a couple of weeks ago, you and your fellow Rangers fans, I'm sure, thought that you had certainly a good chance of winning the league. And if not, you might even have considered yourselves as favourites to win the league. And yet, as we've said there, it's now arithmetical. It's guaranteed third.
Trophy-less as well, I actually feel like that has been lost in the last couple of weeks. People have stopped mentioning the Cups because we're so fixated with the league, which is the most important thing. But guaranteed trophy-less, guaranteed third with a couple of games to go. How does that... How does that sit with you?
Well, I don't like it. I've seen Rangers win a lot of trophies over the years. Fully Rangers, as I said, I was about six years old. My father was the president of the supporters club way back in the 60s and 70s, so was my grandfather. And I've Rangers through and through. And I've seen a lot of bad Rangers sides, but this is going to be it.
The amount of money they've spent, as you said, it's absolutely ridiculous.
No team's got a right to win every single game With the players they've got They've not got a right to win it But a team of that standing Should be putting a bit more fight into their games I watched the captain And I watched him I watched McGregor The difference is night and day Scott Allen I was going to throw to you Because some really good points made I think And points that the Rangers fans will share Just wanted to lean on your eyewitness experience Of having been there
how did it end so meekly for this Rangers team today?

Chapter 5: What key decisions impacted the game according to the panel?
I just think second half, Celtic came out with their tails up, moved the ball quicker, seeing where they could cause problems for that, down that right-hand side of the Rangers, which it's clear to see, I think Hart's done the same thing on Monday, and just kept working the ball there, and asking questions, and then in your box, listen, Maeda, he ain't the easiest guy to pick up, there's no going out, he always gets across his man, he gets a fantastic, fantastic goal to put Celtic ahead,
But once that goal went in, the heads went down. As I said, Mikey Moore, the only one showing real personality to go and get the ball and try and go by a guy. Out with that, it all fell to pieces. And it looked like a team of strangers at times, especially in that second half, considering there were some really good parts that were well in the game in the first half.
but it's nothing that we haven't seen all season regarding Rangers can't put 90 minute performances together and three defeats in a row at the time where you're having to produce your best football or at least football that allows you to go and win games it just hasn't been good enough and you can look at selection you can look at shape all that sort of stuff but I think the big concern for me is the amount of money spent and the lack of quality that goes with it Rangers have lost two games prior to the split two games in 33
Now comes the split, they've lost all three since the split began. So that's what piles the pressure on the shoulders of Danny Rule. The second half collapse has become a Danny Rule characteristic. They were two up on Celtic at Ibrox, drew 2-2. They were one up on Hearts at Tynecastle, lost 2-1.
Against Motherwell The second half collapse Came right at the very end Because they'd gone from 2-0 to 2-2 20 minutes left to play You're waiting for the third goal from Rangers And it's Motherwell who score Mark this is the first time In nearly 26 years That Rangers have lost
Three consecutive league games Now there have been some ropey versions Of Rangers teams in the last few years Because of where the club found itself and so on Stuff you don't need me to recap at the moment So for this to have that record Sort of broken If that's the right phrase today 26 years since you lost three league games in a row We won the league
during COVID. Remember that? The one that during COVID, empty stadiums. It's almost like these, I just, sometimes I think to myself, are these players scared? They come into a stadium like Celtic Park, fantastic venue, got a lot of Celtic pals. They'll be laughing, they'll be enjoying themselves. But I watched that the day and I just thought to myself, I mean, I took a bet, 4-1, there you go.

Chapter 6: How did Martin O'Neill influence Celtic's performance?
And it wasn't even, against my own team, 4-1 Celtic. I wasn't far away. But I just think to myself, look, Previous managers like Walter Smith and previous managers before him, they just knew how to get results, get the best out of players. So they did. All right, they have different money nowadays. But as you said, they've spent about 40 odd million quid. There's still not enough for the forward.
I'm looking forward to the summer holidays and see what happens.
There has to be some kind of review. To finish third, to be confirmed as third in the premiership, having spent Ā£40 million, having replaced a manager in the beginning of the season, Andrew Kavanagh has to conduct some kind of review. The buys have not been good enough. Is the manager good enough? That has to be the question for Andrew Cavanaugh going forward.
I'm sure we'll get to his position very soon. See, this notion as well, Cammy, about it not being able to play for a full game, maybe a good half and a bad half. See if that is the case for Rangers where they can't do it for 90 minutes. See the so-called good half. Does it actually need to be better? Go and get yourself 2-0 up then, although...
Chapter 7: What are the expectations for Celtic in their upcoming matches?
I know that's not always a guarantee either But go and get yourself two up Go and score again Go and really Because I think what's been It feels in the last couple of games What gets described as a good half for Rangers Actually isn't that good to begin with No And I think that's a measure of where Rangers are at At the moment though Again we're describing them as a good half But you look at teams in the years gone by
they would dominate games they would have very good spells again when I was playing with Kilmarnock years ago you'd be 3-0 down they would have a good half and they would maybe have 30 minutes where they'd take the foot off the pedal this Rangers team can't do that because they're not good enough they can't get far enough ahead for a start and they're very vulnerable when they've had a good half
they still feel really really vulnerable as a team at all points I don't think they have complete control of any games you probably look at every single game this season Rangers haven't played for 90 minutes they've been really poor in games again today they have a
a decent first half, I wouldn't say it was outstanding, I think they were in the game, they'd done okay, in the second half, again, as soon as they lose goals, Mark mentioned it, the heads go down, you stop believing, and that's not a Rangers team for me, you need to go to sell it part, if you concede a goal, you need to go there, and stand up and be counted for, and react to that, and this Rangers team can't do that.
I don't think they're good enough, to be quite honest with you. You can sum it up any way you want. There's two games, two massive games from hearts. Derek McInnes meets one tweak, half-time. Rangers fall to pieces, can't handle it. Celtic made one simple change at half-time because, as Scott Allen says there, he was watching it from Celtic Park. You see the bigger picture.
down that Tavernier side, Tenetti come on, took Luke McCown off, all of a sudden, more direct, turns Tavernier inside out, Tavernier gets caught for the ball over the top of Tierney as well, and I'm not just blaming everything at Tavernier, because that's what happens with Rangers supporters, they just go for the captain.
I think overall, as a group and as a team, they ain't good enough to go and win a league, I've never thought they were, but the manager has to take a big responsibility. Thank you, Mark. What about Frank?
What do you take away from today, Frank?
Just normal, normal for Rangers. Not good enough. These are the statistics. We're out of the two Cups.

Chapter 8: What do the panelists predict for the future of Rangers under Danny Rule?
We're third in the league. We've won approximately half of our league games. In the three post-split games, we've been beaten in the three of them. Hartsworth scored two, Celtic scored three, Motherwell scored, I think it was two or three against us at Ibrox.
The guy's no good enough for Rangers It's as simple as that So it is on the manager for you You think this You know this We need a serious discussion about What happens in the dugout going forward I've been on before Months ago I doubted the guy's mentality To get a team together There's no structure in that team There's no promise in that team The best thing the chairman can do Is to sack the manager
sell Raskin whose time is up at Ibrox sell Sharmite sell Fernandes and start again with a new manager Scott Allen you do the you do the today bit for us and the guys in here do the big picture then what does today do for Danny Rule or the stuff that went wrong today I should say sorry how much is that on him?
first and foremost personnel for me I think we can all probably agree on that we're surprised that James Tavernier started today knowing that Celtic would obviously target that area of the park I think you look at Monday night didn't defend well didn't come out covered in glory if I would defended that and then soon as questions asked same again so I think first and foremost personnel Raskin's out injured so Barron has to come in he works hard and he gets about
But long term, I don't think he is the answer in the midfield for Rangers. For me, outwith that, Mikey Muir and Jeremy have pass marks for me. Rawmans at times looks to get forward, but they don't.
nothing's really deliberate in how they play it's when they did when Celtic did obviously take the lead Rangers started pumping it long and it became second ball Celtic scooped everything up and just and just worked the ball and were patient with it and then they then go and get a third and Rangers were bereft of any idea or imagination out with that or out with Mikey Moore taking the ball in the half turn and amongst the bodies trying to go and create for Rangers out with that nobody stood up to the floor and wanted to be the guy to take responsibility and go and create and go and show a bit of personality
so, a lot of it is on Danny Rowe, and he doesn't change it, Gasama comes on, and that's where we're at, we spoke about it at the top of the show, didn't we, with Scovallson, Gasama, Ant-Man, not good enough, and money has been spent, so, it does have to, I take into account, tactical stuff, he was tactically outdone in the first game, against Motherwell,
Second half, and then they get back in the game. They don't manage the game. Hearts, they were okay in the first half. Second half, tactically out-thought again from Derek McInnes. Can't get back in the game, lose the game. Today, personnel would have been the question on everybody's lips at the start of the game. Second half came out and doesn't have the answers.
So there will be pressure on Danny Rowan. I think the questions are allowed to be asked.
