Match Thread Celtic v Rangers - 12:30 Saturday - Sky Sports

[Avalonpark]

Souter not injured? Wtf?

 

[Viatrophy]

A good day at this point feels like hearing Souttar will be OK for the Final.

Why? So he can score an own goal or concede a penalty. The team is done get them all to %^*&.

 

[PolmontLoyal1872]

As much as I am applauding Kenny Millers defence of Lundstrum - its hard to argue against that being a red

Miller is a fucking idiot for even trying to defend it.

 

[SaulBearenson]

So, a man down, one recognised centre back, a goal down... This has fairytale stuff written all over it.

 

[Helstead]

They are just teeing up their shots

 

[KJ_Rozental]

Has Phil lost the plot.

 

[Hoojar McKinney]

Sterling not injured? Clement has lost the fucking plot, here.

 

[ForeverBlue1972]

They had acres of space 11v11 never mind 11v10

 

[GersFanHutch]

It's not Silvas' job to mark their centre midfielder, thats the job for our midfield

When they are working rotations everyone on that side has to concentrate.

Celtic worked out Silva wasn’t tracking back and kept working it until their got their chance.

 

[cambie gers]

Souttar isn't injured according to Sky

 

[BigBlueAngus]

Interesting midfield two.

 

[Stefan Klos]

The ease with which O’Riley ghosted past two there is disturbing.

 

[Johnny Yen]

We have the players to beat Celtc.

I'm not sure, however, that we have the mentality to do so.

We always play well within ourselves against them.

We always look scared to win.

We never play well within ourselves, it's the opposite, at Parkhead anyway.

 

[Cooper's left peg]

Souttar isn’t injured.

What a sub that is.

Tactical genius at play.

 

[mdingwall]

The Only Team and (most of the) Fanbase on the World that is afraid of dropping „senior“ Players and getting the youth on.

Even when its a game against them.

Aye, cos having kids battered 7-1 would do their morale a wonder.

 

[John Wilson]

I think we know th answer to that.

Collum's VAR officiating at the last OF match at Parkpaed is a case study to the contrary

I think in any game in the world that’s a red. No matter who’s playing or who’s reffing. Idiocy diving in like that.

 

[easton78]

That is a mental sub if Souttar is not injured.

 

[Blue-Knows]

45 minutes of us sat in our own box, with Dessers miles away from the rest of the team. Get Cantwell and Wright on, we need some pace to get out.

 

[Smkz23]

So Souttar isn’t injured?

 

[BODiE]

Souttar not injured

That is a completely baffling sub then

 

[LJ50]

I haven’t questioned the manager because he’s been working with a woeful group of players… but if he has made that change for purely tactical reasons then that is a huge, huge worry.

 

[Bordersbear]

This is no different from a dozen games or more this season all par for the course. Celtic are not great but folk are forgetting a Ross County team rang rings round us. Roll on next season and jettison the passengers in the team.

 

[ao2]

Talk about watching a game through clenched fingers. I take it Souttar is yet another injury? It's yet another season whose end can't come quick enough.

 

[148bear]

Total suicide.

 

[Bouncebackability]

why didn’t he just stick Sterling in there for Lawrence?

 

[Macky]

Clement is going into this second half with Lawrence as part of a midfield 2. Let that one sink in to anyone who still thinks he is blameless. Taking off a CB to put our most solid CM into CB. Fvcking shambles from him

 

[imager]

Souttar isnt injured, we are going to play long on the break

 

[StevieG114]

I made it sound? Only talking about his stupid tackle…. I have thought apart from a few months in his rangers career he has been average at best! But this game he has let us down.

So who plays instead of him? Not defending him necessarily but what would be your team?

 

[Cooper_11]

When Kilmarnock went down to 10 last week there was an air of I expectancy that the goals would come for us.
That’s how it feels now.
I’m absolutely livid at Lundstram for making that tackle. He’s a complete fool.

 

[Godrup99]

Build the team around Diomande next season? Do me a favor

Diomande will come good.

 

[devilman]

What a strange sub that is if Souttar isn't injured. Beginning to think Clement is just bonkers.

 

[HeyBert]

They’re rid rotten to

 

[Vader]

Souttar not injured. A bizarre change.

 

[temperance]

Souttar not injured? That’s an odd change

 

[Mexi]

Durys out for phil
Aye it's the same old from the same old but we could have told you that.
It was up to the manger to do somehting different he didn't.
We have all seen this movie before question is why the manger thought this team should play

How though? He makes subs in games but nothing changes

No-one's stepping up. These players have given up

 

[Gladstone]

FFS they are just getting so much space near our box it is unreal

 

[Clay Davis]

It’s like Clement doesn’t want to play Sterling in midfield anymore. Even though it’s probably his strongest position.

How did Lawrence stay on ahead of Souttar is anyone’s guess.

 

[Texas ranger]

How many uncontested shots are we planning on giving them ?

 

[Normandy]

Souttar not injured. So this is tactical?!

 

[BlancaBear]

Has to go for it, no issues with the sub.

 

[paphosranger]

Who would you play ahead of them who is playing well?

Shankland and Barron. Both should have came in Jan, not doing so has cost us £30m. Galringly obvious what we needed and ignored.

 

[Melanchthon]

Souttar not injured! A mad substitution

 

[FMTLoyal]

Souttar not injured?

 

[TCWNS1872]

Changes are mental. Souttar off, the only defensive player we've got.

And he's absolutely Gladys Knight. See Kyogo chance.

 

[TynesideTrueBlue]

This is utterly pathetic we can’t close them down ffs.

 

[ssblue]

Souttar not injured.

The head scratching decisions from Clement continue.

 

[Leonard]

So the plan is to play with no midfield?

Interesting.

 

[Corriebear]

We can’t continue with just Dio and Lawrence in the middle. Surely Raskin on for Silva?

 

[Godrup99]

When Kilmarnock went down to 10 last week there was an air of I expectancy that the goals would come for us.
That’s how it feels now.
I’m absolutely livid at Lundstram for making that tackle. He’s a complete fool.

Its not the 1st time he's done the exact same thing either.

 

[Albus]

Who would you play ahead of them who is playing well?

Yilmaz left back, Sterling CM, Cantwell attacking midfield midfield, even Mccausland.

Them two have called it in completely, lack of effort and desire in an old firm does not pass.
