I guess that a win's a win, mate. You're through to the semi-finals, which is the most important thing... Shows that the players keep on going and pushing forward until the last kick of the ball!
That's actually a trait I've noticed with Pedro's teams, and it's a good one to have

Yup, but you're scoring goals this season too, and in Morelos you've got a 20-goal (minimum) a season striker, which you certainly didn't have last year. I also like the look of Dorrans. Both are quality.
0-4 tonight for us against Dundee was a good result, especially with Boyata back, looking as commanding as ever. Will Dembele or Griffiths (or both together) play against Rangers?
It's shaping up to be great match!

SPL: Rangers vs. Celtic
So what's the score going to be today then, lads?
I'm virtually certain that Rangers can (and will) get something out of this game, quite simply because it's *vital* that they do, or at the very minimum vastly improve on their performance the last time both teams met at Ibrox.
Plus, with the Anderlecht game on Wednesday, BR (whether he admits it or not) will have one eye on that, which will affect his team selection, and perhaps also the team's performance.
So if someone asked me now which game I'd rather win, given that we're already ahead of Rangers in the league, with still plenty of time to make up any lost points, I'd take the game on Wednesday every time...
Therefore, I'll go for a scoring draw, say, 1-1 or 2-2, with some controversy attached, perhaps a sending off?

Rangers 0 Celtic 2
Well, no thrashing (I just didn't see that happening this time, for a variety of reasons), but I thought that Rangers would've got a point.
Haven't watched the match yet (it's been recorded), so will watch it later and give my opinion then on how things went. Heard that there was a 'wee stramash' between Pedro and Scott Brown....

wasnt interested, but the stats say it should perhaps have been. Midfield is weak, and defence woeful. Upfront they are often wasteful, and the goallie isnt much cop. Other than that we are a top side.
