Easter Road:

Back during the festive period, I saw a Tweet referring to the attention seeking Michael Stewart, it might have been in the wake of the last old firm game? It went along the lines of : 'if I was stranded on a desert island with a packet of Jammy Dodgers and Michael Stewart, I would eat Michael and talk to the fcuking biscuits'. Kinda sums up dearest Michael.

Aberdeen v Celtic Rangers v Hearts

By the rules of the game it's a penalty but for me, it's not a penalty. It ticks the boxes to be a red card but let's look at what actually happened.

Not a duffer among them. Every one of them a walk in to the team today.

Earlier in this thread, I articulated the worry of leaving the pitch in Portugal at 22.15 hrs, rehydrating, sleeping and, returning to Glasgow Friday afternoon. Saturday was a loosener and an assessment on whom was prepared to go out on to the Easter Road pitch on Sunday evening. Joe Newell expressed it perfectly, "I hope the Rangers players are knackered after their exploits in Lisbon". Hibs started as expected, pressing us all around the pitch, particularly high in our own eighteen yard box. It was a hard watch because we did not pass the ball well. The players remained calm and were prepared to play the percentage game. If we ran out of options, we slung it over the top. The calmest character in our camp was the Gaffer. Both pre and post match, he keeps it simple, respectful, humble and, focused. The evidence is increasing, the players respond to his approach. We did not become involved in an increasingly fraught situation. Philippe has drilled the players and we all benefit. Our manager is blessed with penetrative thought, he sees it, calls it and, the players respond.

I stand corrected. Apologies, @BlackSocksRedTops

STOREHIBERNIAN TV NewsMatchesTickets & HospitalityTeams 36 minutes ago Club SUPPORTER CONDUCT – ENOUGH IS ENOUGH By Hibernian FC Share Hibernian FC condemns the abhorrent behaviour and chanting made by some supporters in Scottish football. Over recent years supporters’ unacceptable conduct has become rife in Scotland whether that be through the use of pyrotechnics, sectarianism, objects being thrown onto the field of play or through other actions. This is simply not good enough. Understanding that the behaviour of certain sections of Hibernian FC’s own support has not been good enough at times this season, the Club has been taking the strongest possible action against those who behave in an unacceptable manner, working with Police Scotland and colleagues at other clubs. Hibernian FC now implores other clubs to act in a similar fashion and the governing bodies to take serious consideration into the issues to ensure Scottish football is safe and welcoming for all. Following fan behaviour and chanting from opposing teams this season, the Club’s Board of Directors will be reducing the away allocation at Easter Road moving forward, alongside taking further actions. Football is a sport for all, and stadiums should be a place where families and friends can come together to support their team. Hibernian FC prides itself on being a club for everyone regardless of race, ethnicity, colour, gender, religion, creed, and sexual orientation. Everyone should be able to feel safe and comfortable attending a football match. https://www.hibernianfc.co.uk/news/2024/march/11/supporter-conduct---enough-is-enough/

I miss the atmosphere at away games but sleep soundly in the knowledge I no longer fund any of these scummy clubs (haven't done since we came back up). Our support have so much power but we'll never use it.

Lol, whatever 😂

Possibly the 1st great Ranger outwith the Gallant Pioneers

On current form - definitely renew for at least 1-2 years. Been our best player since PC came in

Some Princess of Wales level of photoshopping going on in that one.😄

Aye, pictures tell whatever story you want. The guy went in with both feet off the ground, and when your feet are higher than your arse, at the speed he was coming in at, you make the refs decision easy.

Realism must prevail.

A lot will come down to him, his agent and whatever offers he gets elsewhere.

I have seen it and it is not pretty. Remember, there are three types of Accountant and, their actions are always in triplets. Get a BIG tub of lubrication, he will beat you around the head with his slide rule whilst ramming his abacus up your jacksie. Some of those wooden abaci can be most uncomfortable to accommodate. Three types, those that can count and those that cannot. There lies the rage.

Careful, you do not want to be the subject of Bean Counter rage.

Mr Europa League

Yes! I did go back and check my spreadsheet's previous version. I gave you two points for this game.

...and therein lay the rub. Rangers always overshoot the LZ. Over 30...A 2 year deal is fair. But it will be 4.

I gave you the points - I've just not written the post correctly. Thanks for pointing it out.

I wouldn't think there's a cat's chance in hell of Lundstram being released by Rangers. Whether he can get a better deal elsewhere is another matter altogether

I wonder if JL knew about the topic also? Giving his RTV MOTM performance 🤣

Rangers looked really bad for large parts of that one but our quality was just too much for them in the end. A win is all that matters. On to the semis. Hopefully we draw the scum.

Agreed, they are utter shite, I wish we had them next week.

Good result in Lisbon Won with ease today Only this blinking injury thing can hamper us

Lunny has to be renewed. He has improved massively since Clement has come to the club, and is viewed as one of big phils leaders on the pitch. That being said, the deal needs to be right for everyone.

Appears Ryan Jack is injured onc again. This has to be his last season for us.

You could set your watch by it. The top two lost last week as well.

We play Benfica, at Ibrox, next Thursday.
