Ouch.

Scottish Premier Celtic

comment on the article

That one hurt! Thought we'd got through it: had a horrible feeling when the corner was given and thought it was cleared. Not seen a replay yet, but looked as tho Gravesen should have cleared with his header?

Anyway, not the end of the world I guess, again good to play poorly and get the point. McGeady did well, as did Bobo, bearing in mind he's only played about 4 games all season!

King Artur was outstanding once again, our Man of the Match. In the end he's the only reason we got the point!

Rangers have got Aberdeen away next week, so let's hope we can extend the advantage over the Christmas/New Year matches.

And have to congratulate Hemdani for his goal. As much as it pained me it was a cracking strike, and they were worth their point (now THAT hurts!!)

So instead he robbed Celtic of possibly going into the break & 2-0 up, yes good going Mr Clark sadface

As for the Prso incident, yes had he not been offside it was a stonewaller as well, but he was offside & where was the linesman in the Lennon appeal?

Stone wall penalty but it was nice to see lennon so gutted.
Rangers blew that one. Celtic were very poor, pretty much the standard they have been of late, and rangers bossed the game. But a lack of incision, great goalkeeping and bad luck with the woodwork cost us. Happy to see the side improving though its a shame we've blown the league already though.

The state of the pitch had massive impact on the game.

I thought Adams tackle of Naylor was a disgrace and felt the ref was inconsistent throughout the game. The Lennon pen decsion was unbelievable.

19 games, top of the league - no pens LOL

Also, Sentanta's little feature on Boruc was shocking. Insighting religious & sectarian hatred.

glad to see some celtic fans praising us and in return i say thank you for an enjoyable match, celtic didnt seem to play with a lot of pressure (all down to the 16 point gap i suppose) and slacked a little (or a lot) we did control the game for hefty periods and created MANY decent chances while celtic had few chances they created really GOOD ones. Which im sure had we taken some of our early chances - novo shot, barry miss, headers - we would have had an even MORE exciting match than what we already had. Great game with a lot of real end to end stuff but in the end cant fault the performance but maybe the result. Improvements are there but we desperately need to take this into the game against aberdeen. Lennons penalty would have been quite unfair because he was running away from goal and although clumsily he was tackled, he would have been lucky to get it for the reasons given above and the fact he is after all, Neil Lennon. Good game nonetheless.

How the ref never gave a penalty is beyond me. If we had got that and went in 2-0 at half time the game was over! He was terrible all game - bad foul on Naylor and he gives a throw in to Rangers and we have to play the next 10 mins with a man short, and McGeady never got a decision from him all day despite being fouled evry time he got the ball!

Rangers played well in the second half but owe their point more to the ref than to Hemdani's lucky goal!

As usual the media are going hysterical about Rangers seemingly 'deserving' to win. That must be the worst Rangers team since the last days of Jock Wallace. If the ref hadn't bottled it and given what the world and its Granny knew was a penalty there may have been no way back for Rangers. Still sixteen ahead with a superb Gravesen strike cancelled out by a totally lucky deflection.

Remember, for us to extend our lead at the top Rangers have to win next week.
I don't know if I want that.

McGeady certainly didn't get any decisions, he should have been red carded after 5 shocking challenges in the first half! Is Boruc really so stupid he had to stop and cross himself to the Copland Rd end as he went to his goal in the second half if only to wind up some of the support?
