Hard to know how to react in the end. Was a good result and there were some good performances but mistakes did for us
As poor as Mcgregor’s pass was I thought Yang was so far off the pace. He didn’t track back, didn’t read balls breaking near him and that was appalling defending for their third goal.
Scales was also uncomfortable throughout as you said. One or two decent headers and a couple of good recovery tackles but they were mostly atoning for his own errors.
Liked Bernardo when he came on. He brought energy and composure on the ball.
A very strange game that we could and should have won. But the draw wasn’t bad.
And another game with a completely inept refereeing performance. He got pretty much everything wrong. Missing the foul on Iwata right beside him for their disallowed goal was part of a pattern of not giving us anything in that period. And it helped change the game, along with some poor passing from us.
Thought the ref was good to be honest .
That was a freak of a game and the wind made it worse . Would have taken draw before game .second half was always going to be car crash for Celtic. They haven’t the footballers at the back to play out against the wind. Rangers really missing a trick not playing sterling through the middle in these type of games .
Celtic win all their games and they win the league . It will be one of their great achievements if they do as it’s all a bit stale and rangers have the energy .
Yes . You could see Beaton didn’t even want to give it after looking at VAR but had to because technically Johnstone’s raise leg caught Silva, who maximised the opportunity. It showed the flaws in using VAR. silva played for it and when you see it frame by frame there’s contact , just about . Beaton was literally apologising to CCV for having to give it . He had originally booked Silva for diving . Silva is an awful yoke for always diving , a pure cart horse, apparently Rangers are paying him 60k a week , stealing a living if so
It’s one of those ones where no other team in the league gets it or, to put it another way, it wouldn’t be given against Rangers. I think it was established a few years back that getting a nick on the ball initially doesn’t necessarily mean you can’t be penalised if the attacking phase is continuing & you subsequently foul some cunt. So was it a foul after the nudge on the ball by Johnston. Like I said earlier, yer man is diving towards Johnston/the ground & Johnston is pulling his leg back having been tempted to dangle it. As a firm neutral, I think it’s around 15%/85% foul/no foul. But the fact there’s “contact” gives them the cover to award it via VAR. It’s just continuing the trend where they’re awarded penalties for the most incidental stuff.
