Folk won't like me for this but here goes,
We need too keep haji been saying for a while one of our better players
And now, I think we should keep raskin on as captain
He has heart, desire n knows what it means
We play different through the middle with him n bet them at their own game
He has the engine n desire to hopefully crack us on
As with tav I feel two step back
Predictable cross into the box football
We needto play direct
Hit shots n not be so predictable.

Tavernier, Matondo, Dessers and Dowell should be the 4 moved on. Hagi is a far bigger asset than all 4. Celtic didn't know what to do because Tav the weak link was out. I'd also like Butland sold he's on far to much very an average goalkeeper.
04 Jan 2025 09:06:30
Interesting prior to tav injury he was 5th choice to be captain.
04 Jan 2025 09:37:47
Tavs been excellent in certain games recently but definitely not for Celtic games. Having him out totally nulified maeda who just targeted him in games. Raskin captain for the future and when Tav not playing but taking it off him is harsh.
04 Jan 2025 09:38:14
I love that phrase "knows what it means'. normally said about a player someone likes and used against one he doesnt. so given the game on Thursday can we be clear that all of the team knew what it means. Just checking in case they down in future. (sarcasm by the way ?)
04 Jan 2025 09:40:27
Agree catch22. Raskin captain too.
04 Jan 2025 09:45:40
We bear Celtic because they thought they could turn up to Ibrox and not put the effort in and win. not because butland, tav etc didn’t play. Any rangers team we put up was winning on Thursday. Celtic pass rate was horrendous. We stuck to a game plan like the cup final and it showed.
04 Jan 2025 09:56:59
I don't agree with you Raskin but it's all about opinions. Tavernier and Butland have both been massive problems in OFs. It was great to have a keeper not messing about at the back. Also Tavernier has cist us endless OFs in the past with his making of Maeda. I hope he never plays another one.
04 Jan 2025 10:21:22
Players we would like to move on
Like dowelling matondo whose taking
Them and are they looking for a pay
Off.
04 Jan 2025 10:22:57
Raskin that sent right. we beat them because we got in their faces and stopped them popping the ball about like they normally do. Their pass rate was horrendous as we didn't give them time. the game plan worked and they struggled without McGregor getting his normal easy time and us stopping their second choice pass to Hatate etc. in short we won because we were the better team not because they didn't try.
04 Jan 2025 10:45:10
Raskin you're failing to see that it was Rangers that done that.
04 Jan 2025 10:47:56
Catch 22 a was holding hope out for rabbi as I seen glimpses. But I agree 100 percent with that list you put up I also want all the players to now leave ibrox.
04 Jan 2025 10:48:13
Would keep butland tho.
04 Jan 2025 11:01:37
Hagi is only contacted until 2026, he needs to sign another contract or he'll be sold in the summer.
Raskin always needs another contract 2027.
04 Jan 2025 11:28:19
#Raskin also.
04 Jan 2025 11:44:52
Butland would have only had 1 save to make if he played. you can't rate any keeper based on that game. for a long time our keeper was the least involved player on the park.
04 Jan 2025 13:08:39
Am no failing to see anything your all getting carried away by an overdue of win lol we done the same in the cup final with butland and tav but lost on pens because as much as we were the better team Celtic actually found a couple of passes they won’t play as bad as that again. We’ve got to just stick to actually putting real pressure on them not winning an old firm when you dropped 5 points the week before. Let’s settle down and see were we are in may.
04 Jan 2025 14:04:05
we lost the cup final as we made a couple of individual mistakes and 1 dreadful VAR decision; penalties are then a lottery. If we play the same again then they might well play that 'badly' again because it was us who made them play badly.
Are you related to Naz; think about what you are saying. our squad lost 5 points in the 2 preceding games as we were poor but Celtic weren't going to beat any team we put out despite us being that poor.
we will hopefully continue to improve and young squad will get the consistency we are missing.
