Interesting to hear from BH.

Near half a crown.

I think I' ve had nine successful votes over the last three days. I'll have another go.

Baggies can't check Chelsea. They gave it it a go, though. Terrific finish by Costa for his goal.

Jury out on Stones but I don't think either Pellegrini or Mancini signed a decent defender despite spending £Ms on nominal centre halves to say nothing of Sagna and Clichy. Who buys their fullbacks from the Arsenal for God's sake?

Joltin' Joe.

I've changed my mind about City. They can't beat mediocre opponents home or away.

Bring your own. This is a CA event. No freeloaders.

So we're told. In fairness they were when I was a lad along with Hibs. celtic were nothing. Still are really.

We raised our game. It was our cup final. And again against the Hearts. It's great having these big teams at Ibrox.

Nope. Tell us.

Fair play to them, the faces in the crowd seem to be reasonably amused. A change from the snarling hatred we are accustomed to.

Costa was great yesterday but Sanchez even better.

"...... 30 odd years married to the most contrary woman on the planet is testament to that." Bigamist.

I wonder what the baa-lambs will do with the silence.

"We had one shot on target in 90 minutes and that was a weak effort" Was that the rocket that poleaxed the defender who headed it out from under the bar, BH? Apart from the offside goal we had two other net-boundish efforts s o on another day we could have had three goals. Hearts, it has to be said could have had five. I thought the linesman looked quite pleased with himself.

Every promoted side needs to be improved. Our only acquisition that could be described as an improvement is Nico. Hill and Hodson are good enough squad players in fact I'd be happy with both in the team but that really says more about the present incumbents than it does about H and H. I don't think Warburton is a judge of a player.

Hearts are stronger, more skilful and better coached. If Rangers have a plan I can't see it. At the goal we had five defenders in the box after the breakaway forward had been repelled and they couldn't stop it. Well done by their winger, though. A Davy Wilson goal.

Everton have failed to live up to their early promise. United will win. Unfortunately.

Beerschott? Legions more than Real, obviously.

It's still not good.

SBS, there has to be some balance to the lavish praise they are getting for finishing last. When Rangers were frequently under-achieving in Europe they were given justified criticism from some and scornful contempt from many.

"Best corporate lawyer in the land" is sure thing not DF. One of the most sought after CRIMINAL lawyers maybe - in his day.

Ok, young fellow. Johnny Valentine, then. But you're right about Thistle usually giving us a game. I can't offhand remember any trouncings. Having looked at the FF Stats page, 5 - 0, Rangers 1993. Some threes and a four and an early 60s 6 - 3. How can you forget that? (I wish I could forget Valentine.)

I listened to the last five minutes on RScot last night just to find out what sort of gloss they might put on the event. The commentator (Liam?): "At least Brendan Rodgers has brought pride back to Parkhead" and "If it hadn't been for Barcelona scoring and then the foul, celtic could have gone all out the last ten minutes." Someone else, maybe their ex Alan Thomson: "celtic have played well but they've been disappointing they had a great chance" And that concludes my listening to RScot for the foreseeable future making the total minutes for the year about twenty.
