Bleedin weather in Dundee…game called off on 2nd with near 2000 of StJ support going. Wont get anything like that for rearranged match, serves them right if they can’t sort out their pitch…oh we’re moving to a new stadium…yeh right.

Shankland has now missed 2 penalties in two games.
Not good enough, he has to go.

StJ will have him, we need a striker who at least knows what goal posts look like.

 

[SwingsitlikeHogan]

If it wasn't for the record that would never have been given, rangers have got away with more obvious handballs pulls ect by the exact same refs and haven't been given

And loved what looked to me like the random dive by Silva for the free kick near the end. Definately worth an 8/10 for style. Really looking forward to lots of that in the box

Lies, St Johnstone don't have 2000 supporters.

These were probably the last penalty kicks he'll ever take

Playing at home against either of the OF we probably don’t.

So Rangers will win the league because some Celtic fans don't like the manager? That's an interesting rationale!

It just doesn't look a united camp and tension is never far away, especially after a bad result. Celtic have by far the better squad and really should be miles clear already given how poor Rangers were under Beale.

I admit they weren't the bookies favourites however the Rangers fans seemed supremely confident of winning both games.
Some Celtic fans do dislike Rodgers probably more on the manner of him leaving rather than the fact that Leicester are a richer club than Celtic.

Rangers have a mental problem in the Old Firm games IMO. I also have to say that the fixture has been ruined by the limited away allocations/no away fans at all. Rangers started the trend and I wish for the sake of one of the greatest games in world football they can get back to the huge 5,000 plus allocations.

I don't think it's a mental problem they're just not as good a team. Rangers supporters will obviously disagree but anytime I look at the respective line ups I always think at best 2 or 3 would get into the Celtic team.
I agree about the away fans but unfortunately I can't see Rangers changing anytime soon. Celtic still don't include the Rangers games in their season ticket. So they would easily be able to go back to the traditional allocation.

Forrest has yellow card rescinded, quite right, crazy decision by referee.

Hearts' Forrest has dive booking rescinded

Hearts head coach Steven Naismith says he's been left disappointed by the handling of Alan Forrest's booking for diving - despite the decision now being overturned.

I thought you couldn't appeal a yellow card?

You can't down in England, maybe Scotland is different

Of course it has to be different.

 

[Lord Tyrion]

Of course it has to be different.

I actually think it is a good thing. I don't know the incident here but an accumulation of cards leads to a ban and so a yellow does impact. A positive for the SPL I'd say.

Agreed. I am pretty certain this has been brought in recently as it used to be you couldn't appeal a yellow, just a red.

It was clear to just about everyone that it was a wrong decision.
Cost Hearts a penalty and a possible 2 points, if someone other than Shankland took it.

Possibility of Scotland taking two Hearts keepers to Germany for the Euros.

If we can play both at the same time we might have a chance.

They'd probably bump into each other, remember that happened

Is that supposed to be Doug Rougvie? Def not Miller or McLeish…
