    The superior goals scored, which Rangers won't overhaul, effectively gives Celtic plus 3 GD.

    Because he is a arrogant tw"t. But I love him after that goal tonight!

    I think I should the parachute, because I'm great.

    In fact, I think I should get both parachutes, in case one doesn't work.

    Pity Rangers blew their chance tonight, it's Celtic's now.
    Life without Rovers, it makes no sense...it's a heartache...nothing but a fools game. S.R.F.C.

    He wanted 10 but it was unavailable. Stupid reason but what a finisher the guy is. If only McGeady could finish half as well as him.

    That was the scariest match I've watched certainly this season. I can't remember the last time I felt like I did tonight. I couldn't sit down at all for the 2nd half. The amount of chances Rangers had was unbelievable. It felt like watching a penalty shootout in a cup final. Or defending that Holland match in Lansdowne.

    If Celtic beat Hibs on Sunday they'll win the league imo. Huge game.

    He wanted to wear number 10, like when he was previously at Hibs, but Colin Nish wears number 10, so he chose 01. It was allowed as none of the Hibs 'keepers wear number 1

    Ya I can't really see them slipping up at home to Hearts in what will be a cracking atmosphere. Even if they win both games by only one goal it should nearly be enough. That would mean they will be 4 goals to the good v Rangers and taking the extra goals scored into account Rangers would have to win their 2 matches by 5 goals in total.

    Strachan repeatedly said he was the best finisher at Celtic while he was there. Why he persisted with this line, while leaving Riordan to rot in the reserves for 2 years, is beyond me.

    Not exactly an easy run in for both. Celtic's looks the more difficult. A few twists and turns yet.

    That's the best thing about the 'split'. At least teams get pretty much the hardest possible run-in in the last 5 matches. I don't think they'll be anymore twists though, Celtic should wrap it up now. If anything, I think Rangers could be the ones to drop points again (away to Dundee Utd).

    I see Celtic are honouring Famine National Memorial Day in the game against Hibs. Good for them:

    Didn't know there was a Famine National Memorial Day.

    Fitting thats its in a game between 2 clubs founded by irish immigrants.

    Don't agree, not after that debacle against Mothwell four years ago when Scott McDonald destroyed Celtic in the dying minutes when cruising to the title.

    I think he's a bit misquoted. He said he was the best finisher from the left hand side.

    Hmmmm. Celtic never really looked like breaking Hibs down. They huffed and they puffed but it wasn't to be. 10 minutes before McGeady actually touched the ball but he did well (for the most part) after that. He was really the only creative Celtic player on the pitch. Samaras is terrible. Very frustrating player to watch. I was surprised by the confidence shown by some Celtic supporters here bearing in mind their away record at Hibs.

    I reckon it's 55/45 in favour of Rangers now. They have to win at Dundee United assuming Celtic win at home to Hearts. Great end to the season.

    Majorly depressed after that but compeltely surprised.

    Immense performances from Rob Jones and Bamba from Hibs. As has been said alot of huff and puff but no real quality to break them down, Hibs keeper only really made one good save that I can remember (close range from McDonald) - A lot of possession no finished product (not unlike at Ibrox).

    Hearts have secured 3rd spot, so would like to think we can put them to the sword on Sunday. Not happy about having to rely on Dundee Utd to get a result, however other than Pittodrie there isnt a better place for Rangers to be going to in order to drop points. Dundee Utd need 1 more point to secure 4th spot and Craig Leveins side have taken plenty of points off both Celtic and Rangers this season. Should be a nervy day............
