I don’t know if I’m the only one that thinks that teams who take on Celtic come in with the mentality if we can’t beat u, we’ll boot u, If we can’t take the ball off u we’ll take the man instead attitude, and the latest game is no different, some of the tackles were outrageous to say the least, the tackle on Guchi was a red card every day of the week.
I’m not suggesting that it’s a conspiracy against Celtic, but in my opinion the referee’s
in Scotland have got to up their game, because the standard of refereeing at this moment in time is absolutely atrocious.

How alloa ended the game with 11 on the pitch is beyond me, well saying Bob Malcolm coaches that team

Maybe teams want to concentrate on improving their football skills instead of thuggery, then they might win something.

Well said, couldn’t agree more.
As a follow-up to my previous post.
In response to Giakoumakis comment about dangerous play in the Alloa game, Barry Ferguson said, I was disappointed to read that, to be honest. One thing about my players is they are 100% committed. They don’t go out to hurt fellow professionals. I asked them before the game to be aggressive and get in Celtic’s faces to make it uncomfortable for them.
That tells you everything you need to know.
If a Manager tells his players to go out and be aggressive, then he is asking for his players to hurt or injure his opponents in my opinion.

Yup, exactly right. It’s basically code for kick the daylights out of them. Staunch ex Rangers captain trying to do as much damage as possible before the upcoming derby match.

Exactly, take as many players out as possible and make the Rangers game a stroll.
Well, I’ve got this to say to Barry Ferguson, as Ange would say" It ain’t going to work mate. "

As far as I am aware leading with an elbow straight to the face (Sammon on Welsh 48’) is at the very least a yellow card?
Wasn’t even booked

I wonder if we should release an 8 point statement about how mean they were to us…

We can’t expect teams who are no where the class of Celtic to try and match them by just knocking the ball two and fro while letting Celtic do same in a much more dangerous fashion. Yes, the responsibility of the men with the whistle.
