Jeez that's bad. I really thought Butland would help us out today as he's saved so many recently.

I say "almost" but cos I'm not giving up hope yet that we could win it. Hearts & Celtic will both drop points, definitely, and I think we can beat them both away.

The problem will be, as always, whether we can regain our cutting edge to score enough to convert draws into wins.

Almost at the stage of supporting Hearts to win the league just to make sure we don't get the nightmare scenario of Celtic somehow winning a league & cup double in a truly disastrous season that they surely won't repeat for a long time.

Must not happen.

Celtic have now failed to beat Rangers over 90 minutes for NINE consecutive games.

At the same time Rangers have now lost the last SIX games v them in the cup (last three AET/pens).

He's hardly to blame, he was barely on the pitch. I know he missed the first pen and that was probably a blow psychologically too but he has scored countless high-pressure pens for us. The problem was out inability to score in 120 mins, scapegoating Tav never gets us anywhere.

If we end up losing this on pens it will be an absolute travesty

Miles on top in every way.

Absolutely sickening to lose on a shoot-out.

Utterly dominated the whole 105 mins so far, incredibly one-sided game, unbelievable that it's still 0-0, we've done Everything But The Goal.

Butland's penalty record means I'd fancy us to win a shoot-out but we really shouldn't get to that stage.

I think we've been good, dominated the ball, they have hardly touched it. Sterling, Diomande, Moore, Fernandez all excellent so far.

Not quite created enough chances, been a problem all season.

Need a bit more from Skov Olsen and Naderi, IMO.

That's only a handful of games, inc. against Annan, Queen's Park, 10-man Killie. Today will be a high-pressure game and I don't trust Djiga in that environment. Not sure I trust Souttar either atm granted... maybe Dujon at CB and Tav on right?

It highlights the reality of the current political divide. The far-right are pitching not just toxic nostalgia, but an entirely imagined past. They could not achieve their political vision even if they had an actual time machine. All they have to offer is cruelty, violence, corruption and decay.

At half-time this looked spot on. Tore Andre Flo even told the crowd "I had predicted 5-1 but now I'm saying 5-0".

We just disappeared in that second half. 10 ghosts on the pitch + Butland. Totally scunnered.

Hearts now firmly in the driving seat to win the league, Celtic probably 2nd favourites.

01.03.2026 16:00 πŸ‘ 1 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 0 πŸ“Œ 1

Confident. Think we'll win comfortably. They haven't beaten us in 90 mins in last 7 attempts. And we beat Hearts comfortably, should have been better than 4-2, and they're better than them.

I'm saying 3-0.

He'll never hit a volley as sweet as that ever again.

A freak scoreline atm, Livvy 1-0 up at half-time. If we keep playing the way we've played we'll win the game, we are creating chances.

Really wish we weren't making it so nervy but.

Aye he was, I'm sure I saw him.

No sign of Naderi but.

A good decision IMO - We need some continuity in the back line going into next season and I don’t think there’s a better player available on the market without spending silly money - Plus he’s nation grown which is important for the Euro squad

Exactly, and then Slavia closed ranks and made themselves out to be the victims, pure minging behaviour.

Brilliant, spot-on article

We were by far the better team IMO and fully deserved the win.

Hearts were barely a threat, no idea how they managed to score 2 goals.

Chermiti the man for the big occasion - also helped by having a proper no.9 beside him.

15.02.2026 19:19 πŸ‘ 1 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 1 πŸ“Œ 0

None of us wanted Chermiti, for obvious reasons πŸ˜†

I would have Souttar instead of Djiga and Moore instead of Antman.

We need to stop panicking every time we get a draw. A win on Sunday puts us 2 points off the top. This is what drives Managers away, unbelievable and unjustified backlash against a brilliant manager who’s dragged us out the gutter here. Everyone knows we’re not the finished product yet, patience bro

We've had a problem all season with creating chances. Not convinced Dessers for YC fixes that, think it's tactical. Agree I don't see it in YC, but hopefully now Naderi can be more effective. Gassama needs a break (and to play on the left).

He got us into this race in the first place.

They are, and two last minute winners for the others too, is sickening.

Can't help feel there's more twists and turns to come tho.

Surely the prices will come down a lot closer to the event. There's no way they get close to filling that 65,000 capacity stadium with prices that high, there will be almost no local interest at that price (and sadly no Haitian fan interest either).

The US cannot guarantee the safety of fans attending World Cup matches.

FIFA should strip their hosting rights.

Brentford were so successful at set pieces that they promoted their set piece coach to manager and got the whole Premier League obsessed with set pieces and now as a result they're just sort of ordinary at set pieces
