I don't see that much wrong with what Celtic did. It was Rangers' call to put the ball out for someone who just had cramp. I'd be livid if we had returned the ball in similar circumstances.

 

Yesterday was slightly different as it wasn't last minute and the injury was caused by a clear stamp by a Thistle player and wasn't a potentially time-wasting ploy.

Not sure how much more space we're meant to give Thistle.

How long has he watched Scottish fitbaw !?

 

Expecting a lower league player to control and position the ball with one touch is extreme optimism.

 

Having watched it back, you can see he was getting ready to hoof it up the park and that other players were effectively still waiting on the real resumption of the game.

What do we want to win?

 

Some fairplay award for losers or the Scottish cup?

If Thistle wanted to give us the ball back they could have thrown it straight to us. 

 

 

It doesn't really work like that though, does it. Might if it were deep inside our half but not where it happened.

both sets of players were standing off as you say.

We won and what we did will be talked about for decades world wide. 

 

I still see videos of Di Canio catchig the ball every year. 

 

The rest of Scotland fears Tillman and if we hadn't done this they would have used it to try and drive him out. 

 

As for what celtc did v us they were and are filthy cheats.

And why should Rangers have to accept that? Surely we've got the option not to?

Hoof it up the park to who? Are we meant to expect a lower league player to be able to hit it to one of our players?

you would think he might manage to get it close enough to our unopposed keeper given a bit of time.
