As a Tim, it pains me to say it - but, given the effect smith had when he arrived in Jan, where he basically took over the league, winning the remaining 2 celtic/hun games, and clawing back about 10 points - it became clear that this season would be much diffrent. As of now - given how little money he had (though he spend more than us - and we're apparently loaded)it is stunning to see how well they are doing.But also, how crap we have been since last Jan. We've played well about 6 time - and thankfully, most of those were in crucial European games. there are 3 more celtic/hun games and hes already 3-0 up in the 3 he has played since last Jan, so you can bank that he will pocket at least 7 points from these games. Its a matter of whether the hun will drop points to other teams? And they will, but Celtic will drop more as evidenced by the last few league games (falkirk should have won by 2 yesterday). So - yeah - if I was a betting man, and not a Tim - I'd bet a win for smith - with a sneaky side

Is this a wind up? Am i on follow-wallow? they are four points clear with 3 old firm matches remaining - and you are handing them the title AND the uefa cup!!! Dont make me laugh. OOOh walter the magician - tell that to the toffees fans!!! Oh and by the way, the green half of Glasgow are in the Champions League last 16, not the euro-vase last 32 - shouldnt they be happier?

If celtic lose the league then Strachans managerial failings will at last be exposed -he is quite irrational in his analysis and judgement.Celtic should in fact win the league as Rangers have had a very fortunate run without injury-it will happen inevitably.Hutton will join Spurs in the summer but remain to help Rangers title attempt

It's just that your last article was titled "When Celtic beat Barcelona" - the same Celtic that have been 'brushed aside' by Rangers? I know websites have to generate traffic but does it have to be in such an obvious and ludicrous manner?

imperious form? hahaha, you obviously never saw their performance at Caley last week or against mighty Gretna the week before. The huns are gettin found out and the cardigan lucks will run out soon enough. We have our problems but to describe that lot as imperious is a joke Hail hail

Yes, of course rangers will win the SPL but NOT the Uefa Cup. The reason is simple. In Scotland rangers have the SFA, SPL and the referees to ensure success, but in Europe, rangers have to play on a level playing field, where they'll not be able to cheat. From now until the end of the season rangers will get penalties when required and the opposition will have players sent off. It happened again on Saturday, it's happened throughout their history - what's new?

I didn't know Rangers had brushed Celtic aside. Maybe we should just end the season now even though there just under half of it left. Celtic are four points behind with 9 points up for grabs against Rangers alone and home advanatage on two of those three games. Celtic led he way for some time and wobbled going up to Christmas. Rangers to be fair have got their noses in front but our troubled right back position has been "fixed" for 20 minutes until Hinkel got injured. We have a Nakamura available again and the transfer window is still open. We have been dire to watch of late but apart from a couple of games before the break Rangers have been just as dissapointing this season though the points have been their unlike before of course. It wasn't over when we were even further ahead than Rangers are now and it definately isn't over now. As for Rangers position in Europe. They are in the position of no having qualified to the last 16 of the CL so were relegated to the Uefa. A bonus and not an acheivement that

Would you believe it? The Celtic conspiracy fans are climbing out from under their rocks. When will you learn that just because you say something thousands of times - it desn't make it true. Rangers will win the league and thats a fact, but only because we are winning the games that we would have drawn or lost in the previous two seasons. Celtic are not a league winning team and thats the bottom line. Your manager is poor and your team is patchy to say the least. Rangers are a more complete package and whether any of you green eyed guys will admit it or not, our manager has forgotten more about the game than WGS will ever know. Still it's nice to see you planning ahead and brushing off the same tired old excuses for your team not winning the league.

As a Johnny foriegner looking at the situation over there in Glasgow,why don't yous just merge the two Glasgow teams.I'v been studying the teams this season and I reckon that at least 2 Celtic players could make it into the Rangers 22.I also think that Strachan could make it into the Pie and Bovril management team,much better than that pie beans and chips lark over there at Celtic Park.Of course a new strip would have to be designed with I think orange hoops with a royal blue background....what do yous think?
