Funnily enough, to me it seemed that rangers borrowed a bit from Scottish football on wed night, we were happy to sit in and hit on the break, flood the central areas and force braga wide to consistently hvetto put crosses into the box

Ive noticed our domestic opponents doing that, knowing full well that they have numbers in the box to defend the crosses

That's been the root cause of a lot of Rangers european success over the past two seasons.

**** at my work can't understand why you concede to St Johnstone and not Braga.

After having a tremendous group stage, to lose a team, which lets be frank here are bang average. is extremely disappointing. All 4 goals conceded in this tie are all laughably bad goals to lose aswell.

I mean we werent great in the 1st half tonight, but still looked comfortable and created the better chances but after Jozo's howler in the 2nd half everything went to shit in a hurry and the team panicked and too many players just simply weren't at the races.

ach well 😕

Lets be frank here, Celtic are bang average.

Police Scotland are a tinpot joke.

They can't prosecute anyone for effigies hung at Celtic Park and it takes 30 years to catch up with paedophiles but score a goal that embarasses Celtic and go straight to court. 

Do not pass Go. Do not collect £200.00.

Absolutely fucking ludicrous that the Police are charging people in connection with the incident at the Copenhagen goal. Ridiculous in the first place that the policeman is running at a footballer who has just scored and manhandling him in the middle of a celebration, especially when he’s running towards his own fans.  No wonder his teammate pushes him out of the way. Hopefully this nonsense gets treated with the contempt it deserves 

The cop that got knocked over had braid on his hat so had to be  an Inspector at the very least.  Made to look a twat in front of his troops - no other course of action for him to take - what an idiot.

It used to be the case if you committed an offence at the football you were a custody for court the next day. Did the Copenhagen player get arrested after the game ?

Embarrassing stuff from Police Scotland. The cop is solely at fault here and the resulting fracas is a direct result of his actions.

Absolutely this. Have never seen a steward or the police attempting to rugby tackle a player celebrating a goal.  Embarrassing enough that this happened, but to double down on it and charge the player for assault. Holy f**k.

Aside from the cost to the tax payer and international embarrassment, you also can tell fairly easily that it was a genuine accident from the player when you see the footage from another angle. The first policeman attempts to rugby tackle the goalscorer and goes for him perpendicularly then the second one charges in and blocks off the team mate who was celebrating. It's not that clear on the BT footage but the player who knocked him over had a panicked reflex of putting his arms out almost in an attempt to catch him again and was startled at the response.

Fair enough, heat of the moment I could understand why maybe mistakes were made and organisation for situations like that aren't normally tested but the fact that people have gotten to work this morning and this decision has went through multiple ranks .

What's even worse is that in the chaos, one of them completely loses their head and aggressively confronts a steward who is doing his job and trying to resume the players back to play (as best he can in the midst of the organisational structure collapsing). One of them then initiates an unprovoked attack on him and he reacts a little bit as anyone would and tries to recapture some space for himself to adjust to what's going on. He's then roughly arrested and then charged this morning.

 

Cheers for this video. A better angle and a quite enjoyable watch

Procurator Fiscal needs to tell the police to bolt.

Charging folk because one police officer lost his composure and grabbed a player shows the pigheadedness of police scotland. Can never accept that they haven't done their job properly.

At the end of the game the police were in a line facing the pitch gurning at the Copenhagen players. Idiots. If there is going to be a public order offense it is far more likely to be from the thousands of fans in the away end, not the 20 guys on the park. They stopped one copenhagen player going in to either talk to or give something to a fan. Police were RAGING.
