    A Motherwell team containing Scott McDonald downed Celtic in 2005 for no other reason than that you try to win every game you play. He scored a late double and he's a big Celtic fan. I'm hoping all the teams will do their professional duty.

    By the way, Celtic were denied a blatant penalty for a player holding Caldwell with both arms and Scott McDonald had what seems a perfectly good goal ruled out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N9iAl8MoHdg . If Rangers win this on goal difference those decisions will have been crucial.

    I was at the game today and I have to say Nakamura and Robson ran the show for Celtic. That said they never came out of 2nd gear and if it comes down to goal difference not making the most of their chances could come back to haunt them. McDonald's offside goal was on as well

When manager of Aberdeen Ebbe Skovdahl complained twice about McCurry performances in games versus our "friends" and now Levein has cause to do the same. His appointment to matches involving RFC and, indeed, his continued presence on the SPL list both stink to high heaven.

    Completely true. The 3-0 old firm win for Rangers in October was riddled with some of the most outrageous referee decisions I have ever witnessed. The guy clearly has a pro Rangers agenda. Craig Levein was fully justified in his comments about McCurry.

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

    wouldn't be the 1st time st mirren did us a big favour to win the league. 1986
    Celtic snatched the championship by edging out Heart of Midlothian on the last day of the campaign. The margin was on goal difference, as Celtic beat St Mirren 5-0 at Love Street and Hearts fell to two late goals from Dundee at Dens Park.
    slightly different circumstances but still!!we can only hope!

    Motherwell at Fir Park will be tricky. St Mirren at Love Street should be an easyish win and then its down to the last game at Pittodrie. Aberdeen have a severe dislike for Rangers, its a shame they still arent fighting for third spot. Dropping 2 points is realistic out of those 9 available.

    Celtic will have a tough enough game against Dundee Utd at Tannadice.

    If Rangers do drop 2 points and Celtic win it would come down to Goal Difference. The game at Love Street could be very important.........

    mc curry has admited he should have awarded penalty & disallowed goal should have been given against rangers v dundee utd " after watching rerun of incidents on t.v. i was unsighted for penalty & linesman made final call on offside goal goal " : 2 big decisions which could have a huge part to play in who wins the league ... must admit at least he had the b*lls to come out and admit mistakes not to many refs own up to making mistakes

    McCurry also said "nice goal Nacho" to Novo, according to SKY!

    Anyway, Celtic got the benefit of a wrong decision against Motherwell (corner instead of a goal kick, Samaras scored from it) and Scott McDonald's offside goal in the 3-2 OF win, allowed as onside by linesman Murphy!

    Scottish football, don't you just love it?

    Rangers' form has been poor for a few weeks now and I reckon they could easily drop points, especially if their heads are down after Wednesday.

    Did I ever say I've always liked Dick Advocaat and Fernando Ricksen? Great guys.

    As did Motherwell in the last minute - they just didnt score from their corner!

    More pertinent is probably Aberdeens incorrectly disallowed goal at Celtic Park which denied them a point and gifted us 2.

    My god, the thought of cheering Fernando scoring a winning goal tonight is perverse to say the least but Ill hit the roof with joy if he does it!!!!!!!!

    On Scott Mcdonalds goal in the 3-2 win. Ive watched that since on the TV and though the pundits seemed to be in no doubt that it was offside - I just cant see how they were so sure. I couldnt see clear daylight (though I think theyve changed the terminology now for that, something to do with "the bit of your body you score with" being offside or something???) Setanta dont do the superimposed lines that Sky have, as yet - They need an Andy Gray............. To me it just looked very tight.
