An absolute joke, know a few boys that play for them, it’s not right denying a player to play in a cup final when the evidence is clear to see.
The SFA are a joke.

Not the worst night for Scottish football in Europe. Not the best performance by any means from Celtic but a pretty decent away score draw sets them up with a decent chance for the home leg against Copenhagen.
A very poor first hour from Rangers before a Lazarus act to come back from 0-2 down to win 3-2. Won't be easy for them away to Braga in the 2nd leg but at least they still have a chance.

I haven't yet had a look on The Bears Den forum about last night (I'm saving that for when I feel a bit low) but I am thinking that Gerrard was for the sack after 66minutes and he's the greatest thing since sliced bread at the final whistle. Oh what a capricious creature is the football fan
Good win for the Gers from 2-down at home - but going to be tough to get through. And a good away score-draw by Celtic.

You don’t support Rangers yet go on a Rangers Forum??

No I don't - and I don't look very often.
But my brother and niece are season ticket holders and it is often good to get a little bit of a feel for how their fellow bears are feeling - makes my conversations with my brother especially a little bit of fun
Besides - being a follower of a 'diddy team' - there is that horrible thing called schadenfreude that I can get reading Rangers supporters pulling themselves and their own club apart - and especially funny how disgusted some get when Gers can't beat those 'diddy teams'. Fortunately there is also a good amount of common sense displayed by some posters as well as the utter nonsense and bile spouted by others.

Well Mr Gerrard. When last season after your Rangers had just squeezed past Saints you commented that 'We shouldn't be struggling to win against teams like St Johnstone' - and there is certainly much historical truth in that. I am guessing you were hoping for some improvement yesterday. Hmmm. And so after struggling to get a draw yesterday against that very same team - some of your team's followers are opining that you are actually no better than Warburton - ouch!
So methinks a bit of sorting out is require at Ibrox. Clubs like St Johnstone need a decent Rangers as a decent Rangers will bring a good travelling support. Nearly 8,500 crowd at McDiarmid Park yesterday - and the boosted Rangers support (they had three sides of the ground) boosted the club's coffers by an extra £100k - and for a club like St Johnstone that is a new player
So come on - sort it out...first - a decent result required against Braga on Wednesday night...maybe Rangers need to be playing a team they feel won't be a dawdle to beat to play well.
And the resurrection of the career of Stevie May continues - now that he has got his sights sorted - heading for 15 goals...Stevie May - number 17. A Saints legend.

Saints playing Celtic in the Scottish Cup QF on Saturday and not a lot of hope coming from Saints fans.
OK - St Johnstone haven't scored a goal against Celtic since August 2017 - and in the ten games against them since and including 'The One when we Scored' we have shipped 30 goals.
But pragmatism rules due to the huge disparity between the clubs - the huge disparity between Celtic, and the rest of the league - even Rangers can't compete financially at the moment. One of Celtic's current forwards cost them the equivalent of two full seasons of St Johnstone's club revenue - that's everything - every single piece of income the club has generated or received for two seasons - including profit from pies, macaroon bars and juicy fruit sold.
But hey. It's the Cup - and we have to score sometime - and maybe even win - we have in the past...

I'm an embarrassed Bear that he scored against us.
We're a bit like Jordan Spieth at the moment finding our way back to the top.

May is a legend for some St Johnstone supporters. Nobody is saying he is a legend of Scottish football. But this comment is exactly the sort of attitude that made supporters of 'diddy' Scottish teams laugh at Rangers and their trials and tribulations since 2012 - and the current despair and confusion of many of their supporters with Gerrard.
I'm inclined to lend my support to Rangers in Europe and against their East End partners in crime - but comments like that made just make me switch off and hope Braga totally stuff Rangers this evening.

Great result for Rangers tonight, not easy to get a win away from home in Europe these days.
Fingers crossed Celtic can join them in Friday's draw for the last 16.

Despite what I might think - I actually feel positive about Rangers getting that great result for Scottish football this evening. And maybe it demonstrates that Scottish clubs outside of Rangers and Celtic - such as St Johnstone - might not be quite as rubbish as some followers of the OF might think ?
Anyway - here’s hoping that Celtic also put on a good show - but that they are knackered for the cup QF against StJ this weekend ?

An outbreak of common sense, wouldn't worry about it, its much harder to catch than corona so that'll pretty much be an isolated case in SFA

Not a great night for Scottish football after Celtic suffered a hefty defeat at home. Looks like it's all about The Rangers now

Conspiracy - Had Celtic gone through, two Scottish sides would have been guaranteed places in the Champions League qualifiers the season after next. Celtic blow European match last night means Rangers have to win the league next season to get CL place when a Celtic win last night would have meant second for Rangers next season would have been good enough
Actually though - prob a good thing that Rangers have to win the league next season and 2nd not good enough - as if 2nd to Celtic has ever been good enough for Rangers
Unfortunately Celtic players will be out to make amends to their support on Sunday - does not bode well for Saints in the Cup QF...ah well.

I am sure that winning against St Mirren who sit 10th in the Scottish PL will be a real bost to them and make up for last night's efforts ?

Gutted about last nights result, stupid mistakes cost us, basically same story as the cl qualifiers earlier in the season, al least the league has one representative
