As much as I dislike Liverpool a decision that tight, needs to have some leeway.

Brown was never going to be cited after being pulled up for the Old Firm game. Imagine the heads gone if he missed a quarter of the post split games.

James Horncastle done an interview with Henderson. http://www.espn.com/soccer/italian-serie-a/12/blog/post/3807711/youre-not-in-scotland-now----why-liam-henderson-left-superpower-celtic-for-the-italian-second-division?platform=amp&__twitter_impression=true

Our lack of real creativity and technical ability is really being shown up against a side sitting deep. It doesn't seem like we have anyone you can pick apart their defence.

Find the criticism of McBurnie a bit over the top, considering we give our strikers zero service, I can't imagine any striker that's played for Scotland would fair any better. We're not getting the ball into positions for him to start being culpable of letting us down. The problem stems from our manager doesn't trust our players to actually build attacks or most definitely we've got a severe lack of real technical ability where we desperately need it.

McLeish is a football dinosaur, who just isn't in touch with football never mind how international football is played. So few teams play, or are capable of playing a 4-3-3 formation internationally. When a team sits in and you have just played some quick guys to get in behind, like fifa, you're going to struggle to create anything. Never mind when your midfield doesn't press the ball and your back four are entirely at sea, allowing two easy goals in the first 10 minutes. Followed by no tactical changes. Most away games we should be playing 4-5-1, and attempting to allow any of our more gifted players to create. McGregor, McGinn and Armstrong were all anonymous but somehow done more than the front three.

A Ronaldo against Messi final is probably the most entertaining narrative. I reckon Spurs have probably got their preferred draw against City, as Pep is unlikely to change his tactics. Still think it'll be Juve/City, Barca/Liverpool semis followed by Barca/City

Pretty horrible conditions today. Won £100 on Beware the Bear, otherwise nothing went for me. I had Stormy Ireland to win so was very disappointed to see if finish second after the favourite fell.

Closest anyone to do with Hibs have come to a Rangers player all night and its some fanny running on the pitch

Pochettino has always had a fairly easy ride off the media. It's no surprise to see them having his back again.

Well deserved for Rennes. Emery is just Wenger light, isn't he? Worrying times that Kroenke doesn't look to be willing to invest in summer.

I'm probably in the minority, but I definitely think that's the way the handball rule should be applied. VAR definitely takes slightly too long, but I definitely think it's an overall positive in the game, it was applied well for Porto's penalty, although I think Roma should have been given one at the death. It should just be an extra official that makes the decision in the booth, although that might cause issues with the referee looking to be undermined.

Total repeat of the first leg. Dortmund have absolutely battered them first half. Then completely turned off in the second.

As much as I'd love that, I don't think we've got the draft picks nor the cap room, if we are looking to extending Clark and Wilson this season, to pull it off. However the front office hasn't been afraid of going big in the past.
