Wrong Saints...and in any case - it's never good to be dismissive of the 'diddy' teams in the SPL...

Shocker - three goals in last 7 minutes not a good look through defending of the Katic School (though he was dropped for the Braga game). And as a supporter of Scottish football I share a little bit of your pain...very disappointed in Celtic.

I must have seen that same game at least 50 times in the past. A combination of arrogance (why the constant bombing forward when at 0-0 on the night, they were in the next round?), not taking the chances they did create and the 3rd leg of the holy trinity, keystone cops defending to gift your opponents the match. Poor in every aspect for me and got what they deserved in the end. Congratulations to Copenhagen, hung in there when the going was tough and took the chances presented to them to win the tie.

casuk-out for meal with SWMBO last night,waiting at bus stop for bus(obviously?)group of young guys there all kitted out and playing around,boisterous but in good spirits told them that I hoped that they got a good win to follow on from the away goal,nice young lads(memories!) so off they go on the supporters bus,went home ,upstairs,tune in,can't believe what happened,thought I was watching us (at times)!
Class act from NL,did'nt rant/rave or hang anyone out to dry---think he was like the rest of us--totally shellshocked at his defence.Gutted that they're not through---and that's from a bluenose.
But goes to show that there are no easy games in Europe/switch off for seconds and bang you're gone!!!
Happy Jimbo(only because we're through)

Aberdeen into another semi, that's about our lots as Dons fans these days. Cant see us getting past Celtic, if we'd have kept Shinnie, Maclean and Mackay-Steven perhaps but we just can't keep better players.

Ah well - losing 1-0 with the Celtic goal scored in 81st minute is a bit of a downer - but never mind - we weren't embarrassed. One day a goal will come for Saints against Celtic. Meanwhile Rangers just awful against Hearts and Gerrard threatening...well threatening something...

Rangers job is impossible, fan expectation is ridiculous given where they were, Gerrard's done ok imo but they do seem to be spending too much again. Really had to get past Hearts in Cup to keep this season alive and failed so last chance of a trophy realistically gone. Surely Leverkeusen (5th in Bundesliga) will have too much in Europa and if not them ManU, Roma, Inter, Wolves etc all decent.

I wonder what your like if you hit one out of bounds? Sorry Braga let you down, however you will have enjoyed the Jam Tarts?

Good night for the Jambos, Hibs fans filing out of Easter Road with 20 minutes still to play.
Billy Gilmour also having a great night, he looks like a huge star in the making.

I did actually say the day after they had that great result that I was pleased - despite how cheesed off I might be at the attitude of some OF supporters to the diddy teams in Scotland. So no - Braga didn’t let me down, but yes I was pleased with the Jambo result - even though Hearts are not really a diddy team...

Blimey. What has happened to Rangers. Maybe Ryan Kent puts his finger on it when he says that Rangers (players) prefer to be underdogs. That's never going to work in Scottish Football and so he is almost dooming them to failure.
Another good night for Jambos against Hibees, and another point for Saintees sees them 4 pts behind 6th place with a game in hand as the split approaches. Pity our remaining 4 games includes one away at Parkhead
Anyway - how did Rangers let go 18yr old Billy Gilmour - MotM for Chelsea against Liverpool in the FA Cup couple night ago. Cleasrly they couldn't stop him going - which is dissappointing for Rangers. But great to see young Scottish talent playing at the top level.

Story doing the rounds that there was some serious indiscipline at the Rangers mid winter break training camp.
Probably just gossip, but something seriously wrong somewhere.
ATM there are no weak teams in the SPL, no games are a gimmee.

[SILH...Hearts might not be a 'diddy' team but we certainly are!!
What a pathetic excuse for a team supposedly trying to win silverware this season.
Just what is the mindset in that dressing room.....I know that I'm angry and frustrated,but why play so well in Europe and be so crap at home
Don't they care??? It seems not! Got to be a clearout/either that or drop them and play the youngsters supposedly coming through the academy/and then sit them in the stands in amongst the supporters and see what the club means to us,you know the ones that pay their inflated wages.
God help us against the Germans;I fear some divine intervention is going to be needed!
Aggghhh!
Very unhappy Jimbo

I hear all you say from my brother - he's going with my niece (both ST holders) to the BL game on Thursday and the Celtic game on Saturday - and is not a happy bunny.
What was Ryan Kent on about with his Rangers preferring to be underdog in matches - that's nuts. And Tavernier (in the programme last night) saying that Rangers are affected too much when Scottish teams put them under a bit of pressure and get in their face. Glasgow Rangers...players not able to cope with aggressive Scottish footballers - Rangers players?

Funny how Rangers spokespeople seem convinced that this year will be trophy less. They are still in one Cup.
Not a great vote of confidence too the manager.I read that only two managers in Rangers [both teams combined] histories have ever had two trophy less seasons.

Now Doon - are we not past that ... Rangers/Sevco have today‘s problems to deal with... they still seem to be living beyond their means.
