The Old Firm Derby

Today, the Old Firm derby returned to to Scottish football as both teams battled it out for a place in the Scottish Cup Final. Rangers had many vital players missing with them being cup tied or injured. So, Celtic went in favourites being champions of Scotland after all. Pundits all over the world expected them to beat Rangers heavily, same old, same old, not like Rangers to be disliked by pundits. Anyway even if you were a neutral supporter what an incredible game.

Kenny Miller opened the scoring in the first half, Rangers dominated the full game against the champions of Scottish Football. Ended the half 1-0 with Rangers having 70% possession. Manchester City's 12m star Patrick Roberts missed an open goal which was a huge let off for Rangers.
Slow start from Rangers in the second half, conceded early from a corner and Celtic get back in the game. We dominate the game but just can't find a way to goal and full time it ends 1-1.

5 minutes into ET, wee Barrie McKay, (goals below) scored a screamer into the top left to make it 2-1 and then again minutes later Celtic make it 2-2. The fierce Old Firm derby heads for penalties.

It ended 5-4 on pens with Rangers missing 2 and Celtic missing 3. Absolutely incredible for Rangers, winning promotion to the top flight 2 weeks ago, winning a cup final last week and into the Scottish Cup final. The feel good factor is back!

very entertaining as you said, personally I feel we outclassed Celtic, might be a division below but the way we play its stunning. The movement, the passing and just how classy we are on the ball, it really is a joy to watch.

that mckay goal was insane, i just sat there like holy shit
also remember thinking that tavernier is a shocking defender, if he wasn't out of position so much celtic wouldn't have had the open net chance. he was lucky they fucked it up

its the way we play though, he's nowhere to be seen when it comes to defending. We took risks today having the fullbacks bombing forward, could of went badly if Celtic had taken their chances.

think todays games shows celtic that they wont have it as easy next year and rangers could challenge for the title. it will make the scottish league much more interesting like.

true, hope so anyway! did you watch it all mate?

Good result for Newcastle yesterday, think yous will manage to stay up?

Seen majority of it you couldn't tell that rangers have been in lower leagues like. Celtic will probably have a new manager next season and will need to strengthen like. Hopefully Aberdeen manage to improve on this season. If them Celtic and rangers challenge for the title it will be interesting.

It was a good result for us on Saturday like even better that sunderland beat Norwich so the gap is only 3 points. If we get 1/2 positive results against Man City or Liverpool then we have got a real chance of staying up
