Souttar in for Balogun. Dowell in for Lunny. Matondo in for Sima. Wright in for McCausland.

I've said it on the OP but will repeat. Dessers will undoubtedly feature today and we need to back him. Regardless of what happened at their place, we need him today. Leave the boos for Killie players.

Stefan Mahe in 99?

When does the window "slam" open? Would it be slam? When does the window blast open?

Was he not the last ref do give us a pen at their midden about 12 years ago? The aftermath of that game has undoubtedly shaped his refereeing since. ie. He likes his double glazing intact.

The Morelos one is a joke. If anything Johnston is fouling Alfie, realises he is losing the battle and simply falls over.

Doubt it. It will be Dessers and as much as we are hurting, I fear the boo boys will be out tomorrow. He's not the answer by a long way but at the moment he's our only answer. Hopefully he's good enough to help us get over the line vs Killie.

It's clear that Gollum made an arse of it or was shit scared to make the call for fear of having to call the glazers. Offside is their get of jail card. Remember the ref gave a by kick.

If I was Phillipe Clement. I would be making a PowerPoint with Rodgers and McGregor bumping their gums in their post match comments. That's day one of your Spanish training camp. Arrogant f**kers. Nothing has been won yet.

No Albertz?

He's definitely no Loser and Where It's At...

I thought he was banned? He was the first person to react to my Rangers V Killie match post?

There's no debate for me. It's clear as day in terms of whether it's a penalty.

How we performed and this refereeing debacle are two totally separate issues. Even if we had won this game I would still be very angry at how this has played out.

This doesn't have anything to do with what's happens in the stadium IMO. It a symptom of what's gone on beyond the game. Refs getting windows smashed and abused in public, Celtic fans hiring Private Investigators to follow refs, Celtic FC asking particular refs to relieved of their duties. No wonder refs are intimated.

Let's face it. Finding that offside was his get out of jail card.

That's fine tbh if that's the case but the regardless of the whether it's a pen the process stinks and is a culmination of the culture of pressure they have cultivated for decades. I never bought into it before after the last few seasons, I'm sold. The turning point was the 21/22 season when Dundee were denied a stonewall penalty at Celtic Park (Jota uses his hand in unnatural position) in a tight match and then we were denied a stonewall pen in the same weekend up at Tannidice when Sakala was hauled back in the act of shooting. Nothing given. Then there was the Johnson non foul on Morelos and the disallowed goal in the 1-0 defeat at Ibrox this season.

Have we seen an actual still frame of when the ball is played forward in the Sima penalty incident. I've seen a pic with lines but I've also listened to several pod casts disputing the validity of the pic as it taken after the ball is struck. We need evidence as this whole situation stinks. I've also read many comments supporting the ref, stating that he couldn't see what happened. Has anyone actually looked at his position. He's about 10 foot away and looking directly at the incident.

One last game before the break. One last push. We need to shake the hangover from Saturday out of our system quickly. 3 pts is non negotiable but Kiĺlie will be a tough nut to crack. I'd go with the same team that started against them with maybe Dowell coming in for Lunny (who didn't look fit IMO) and Wright for McCausland. I know everyone will want Silva starting but I think Clement will not play him based on his previous comments regarding players fitness etc. That leaves us with Dessers. As much as he was awful on Saturday we need to support this guy if he plays. Stay classy my fellow Rangers fans. He's not the answer but he's got to feature therefore we can't start turning in on ourselves. That's exactly what THEY will hope to happen.

Happy New Year to one and all!

That's unbelievable.

To be fair to Clement, I'm sure Sterling was carrying a knock when he arrived as manager. You do wonder if we would ever have found out how good he was in midfield if we hadn't had injuries in that area. Oh well, it seems necessity is the mother of invention after all...

Apologies SBG, what was the Hearts decision?

SFA and "nothing to hide". This will be fun.

It's worth noting that in 6 of the last 7 OF games we've had the superior XG over Celtic. That not only confirms that there is not much between the sides but sadly highlights our lack of clinical front players.
