Agreed, both ties still there to win.
Rangers result was pretty special though. Saw one report the said Dortmund were tournament favourites.
Celtic's result was pretty special too...???

Don’t get me wrong, good result for Rangers but watching the game I couldn’t believe that this was the same Dortmund I have watched several times this season and are second to Bayern in the Bundesliga.

They were absolutely rank and Rangers took advantage so fair play to them.

I agree but teams can only play what is in front if them

Dortmund seem to be in disarray at the moment, they lost 5-2 at home to Leverkusen last week.

So, Rangers were fortunate.

What happened to Celtic?

Who said they were fortunate? Never saw it, but by all accounts they thoroughly deserved their win.

As for Celtic, they played poorly on the night. It had to happen sometime, I'd rather it was then than in a league game. Bodo are also a pretty decent outfit, don't forget they stuffed Jose's Roma 6-1.

The statements that "Dortmund seem to be in disarray" and a similar one from someone else suggested to me at least that Rangers only won because of their deficiencies.

Preferring Celtic to lose in Europe than in a league game is a funny one. Surely Celtic should be trying to win at that level in Europe?

Exactly, that is what taking advantage means.

They should be trying to win every game

The league is going to go down to the wire. 1 loss could make all the difference. I’d rather win the league than progress to the last 16 of the third tier european competition.

As for Dortmund, they are obviously going through a bad patch without their star striker. Own goals and daft penalties didn’t help either the other night. Surely you are not suggesting that Rangers beat an on-song Dortmund?

Dons poor again today, but think they've got the right man.

Dundee though, LOLs

I think the old phase 'lesser of 2 evils' applies.

I agree, I think he’ll do a good job.
Know a couple of boys who know him and say nothing but good things.

Poor choice for Goodwin. Should have aimed higher.

Cracking result for Saints…poor for Jambos but standard result for them when in Perth ? Looks like our new signings are getting well sorted…Hallberg, Bain, Cifti and Sang all doing well yesterday, plus Middleton doing an excellent shift back from Rangers. The only way is no longer up as off the bottom…?

Yea, well done.
Hope they continue to climb the table.
Weird venue for Hearts, did I hear the commentator say that they had not won the last 14 games in Perth.
Jambo's stuck in a rut at the moment, missing Halkett,
They have some classy players though so lets hope they get back on track soon.

I see Scott Broon and Naismith are favourites for the St Mirren Job.
Both look like good future managers.

For the neutral the game @Dundee is very enjoyable. It had to happen, Thought Ian Harkes came over well pre match and difficult to decipher his accent.

The other week why was Kent from Rangers continually booed by Celtic please

Scottish Daily Express headline.
'Rangers hang on to earn a lucky point against Dundee United.'

That Rangers fan I know went off on one on Facebook about his team being hard done by as usual, biased refs etc.
Someone posted a reply along the lines of how amazing it is that the only team ever to kicked down divisions for cheating financially always has every decision go against them and what are the odds of that.
I will leave you to imagine how things have gone since but it looks like no man's lands from the First World War on his page right now

 

[rudebhoy]

Another late winner for Celtic, didn’t play particularly well, but ground it out. Hallmark of champions.

Rangers Stats.
29 shots, 3 on target.
Must have been very windy.
