Well, we didn't half make hard work of that yesterday
I'll say it right now, i thought at 1-1, there only looked like there would be one winner and that was Rangers.
Our tactics in the 2nd half were absolutely mental we had an extra man yet somehow managed to leave us man for man at the back
I thought we played pretty well in the first half, Edouard was outstanding, struggling to think of anything he did wrong really. The difference of having Ntcham in there was night and day as well, his ability to see passes that others don't is what we've been missing. He was always going to be a bit rusty but i thought he gave us a real shift and provided moments of quality when needed.
Only other player who i thought was remotely good for us was Ajer, big man's two tackles in the last 5 minutes were unbelievable
Ryan Kent was Rangers biggest threat by a mile, he's a really good player that boy. Direct, two footed and fast as flook, he'll be on his way to a premiership team next season.
Obviously the biggest talking points are the red cards and the behaviour of some player from both sides.
First off, i said it during the week that i felt Brown would be more up for this one than ever before. Pretty much every Rangers player took it in turns to try wind him up at Ibrox in December, none more so than Arfield. At no point during that game did he lose the plot though, he just tried to get on with it.
Now, Morelos, there's not even anything in it with Brown, a wee nudge but for Morelos to do what he did was just mental, absolutely bonkers and lets put this notion that he's unfairly targeted to bed please. Gerrard sounded absolutely raging with him and it's expected he will now get a 4 game ban?
Ryan Kent's punch on Brown, i think it's safe to say he'll be given a 2 game ban for that, not even up for debate
As for Halliday, i must admit, as much as i hate the kant, if the shoe was on the other foot, i'd like to see one of our players go and have a go, maybe not to the extent that he did mind you but still. That's another ban for another Rangers player too and i don't think anyone could question the decisions.
Only thing i thought Madden got wrong all day was Hayes tackle, i thought that was a red nearly launched him back to flooking Liverpool
Anyway, a very pleasing win but i think we all know Lennon isn't the answer after that yesterday. We must look elsewhere and if the board can't see that right now then we have a big problem.
Potential title party on Saturday then if Celtic and Hearts both win on Wednesday.....

I very nearly made the call as well but managed to push through and the finishing line is in sight.
Wife's not speaking to me though, told her I'd be home for 7pm, was closer to 7am
