Philippe Clement discovers that a week sure is a long time in football

A week sure is a long time in football as Philippe Clement is finding out…

So theRangers yet again failed to pick up maximum points in an away game as they drew 1-1 with Dundee at Dens Park last night, with the game live on Sky Sports for the Celtic support to enjoy.

Thursday nights are meant to be ‘theRangers nights’ but last night was anything but, and it proved to be a satisfying and hilarious one for us Celtic supporters watching the entertainment.

Dundee without ten players 

The latest Ibrox outfit may have been depleted by injuries but so too were the Dens Park side who had no fewer than 10 first team players missing and could feel aggrieved at not winning the game due to some ‘incompetent’ officiating.

Aye, a  week sure is a long time in football as just this time last week the Bears were on cloud nine after deservedly beating a Celtic side who were absolutely dreadful on the day as they started the year on a high in the dead rubber contest.

Two points from six after dead rubber 

Unfortunately for them they were brought crashing back down to earth after throwing away a two goal lead at Easter Road against Hibs which allowed Celtic to extend their lead at the top with victory over St Mirren.

Our victory over Dundee United allowed us to further increase that gap which was only slashed by one after the Rangers failure to win at Dens leaving us a staggering 15 points clear in the first week of January.

Licking wounds 

Last week we were licking our wounds after our Ibrox no-show, this week sees our grins wider than the gap between first and second bigger than at any stage this season. Football is as they say a funny old game but in Glasgow it’s the Celtic support who are laughing our heads off.

Oh the Rangers are…

  1. The scum trying to claim that they had a proper football manager, when he entered Scottish football, has to be right up there as to making the scum cheerleaders bigger eejits than they were already?
    Takes some doing by the Belgium waffler, but mission finally confirmed, even though we knew that long ago.
    The Belgium waffler, has had nothing more than a total obsession with ourselves, and knows nothing more than spoiling how proper footballing teams try to play today’s game?
    As this Belgium waffling eejit is nothing more than a throw back to eighties football, then suits the scum perfectly with living in the past?
