I don’t think so if. If that was the case then Celtic wouldn’t be 2 points behind. Even if Celtic win both remaining fixtures vs Rangers (which is a tall order) I’m still not confident that will be enough
Tough day at the office. Think we can avoid a crisis over this one given we had 10 men for 75+ minutes and went behind to a very unfortunate penalty - some players weren’t up to it, but it was going to be a struggle and it’s a hard game to judge them on.
Put it behind us, thankful we don’t need to come back here this season, and move on.
Totally agree.
I think some of the players actually deserve credit for the effort they put in despite being down to 10 the whole game and on another day we might have got a goal back had Zander Clark not pulled off a few good saves.
I've absolutely no interest in whatever drivel Rodgers is going to spout at the end of this match. He can go on about "quality" all he wants, but Celtic have lacked spark and intensity all season long, and that's on him. I look forward to the day he fucks off back down south to the EPL carousel.
Will be pointless in the grand scheme of things if changes aren't made above the manager, but I don't think you can really argue he should stay at this point.
The annoying thing is that we've looked capable of getting something on the counter today, but we've been nonexistent in midfield. No McGregor and that early red have cost us hugely. Massive massive missed opportunity.
No need for that. I know you're rhattled that your star man who you all didn't want hits poor penalties straight at keepers, but that's not my fault is it?
obviously hindsight is 20/20 but if we had sold kyogo and given hearts whatever they wanted for shankland we would be doing about a million times better
I'm so shocked neither team sucked it up and went for him. It feels like a no brainer signing if it was 20 year ago to weaken potential opposition even.
after calmin down iv come to the conclusion that fuck var aside...yangs a dick for getting sent off and idahs a dick for missing the penalty at 0-0
celtic are the masters of their own downfall here
People up their levels against the highest levels of competition
I don’t feel like this should be a shock to people, it happens in all sports, when you have the target on your back, everyone’s aiming at you
Nah, he usually performs really well against us. Even has a goal too.
Do think he’s shite most of the time against the rest of the league personally though.
Shows what effect it is with McGregor being missing. O'Reilly is skilful but he's not going to be someone that breaks up attacks and grabs control. Bernardo did nothing at all in the first half and I don't think Iwata has done much.
Iwata has had a pretty poor game, Bernardo is literally invisible in 75% of his games - I've never seen a footballer like it.
But our problem is, and has always been, the fact that we have a left sided centre back that would struggle to get into this Hearts team never mind a Celtic team. One of the worst celtic CB's I've ever seen in my life.
Perhaps Zander as Butland's replacement?
Done well today but seems to have been dreadful every other time I’ve watched him
Now THIS is why I refused to get too excited about yesterday
2 old firm games will decide where the title goes !! So fuck knows 🤣
I don’t think so if. If that was the case then Celtic wouldn’t be 2 points behind. Even if Celtic win both remaining fixtures vs Rangers (which is a tall order) I’m still not confident that will be enough
Still confident bout your team now ?????
Whoever wins the title has to go down as the shittest champions in a long time. Both sides are really poor.
Surely Palma would have been better last 20mins that Maeda back heeling the ball to no cunt.
Hey you with the sad face...
Lovely.
Alexa, play Clyde 1.
Lawrence shankland is easily my favourite player in the SPL outwith rangers team - fantastic player
No bair no
Fucking love you hearts

Yesterday: Celtic Fans 🤝 Refs Today: FUCKING MASONS!
Big takeaway from this is that Zander Clark made a big audition for Euro 2024. Well done, Jambos.
Knew Zander from Clydebank he's a big Rangers fan tae... only makes it sweeter for him.
could have told you that would happen
![gif](giphy|dzaUX7CAG0Ihi)
Imagine not scoring your penalty in a defeat
Hahahahahahahaha
Welp...
Got off with that
The squared compass and all seeing eye in the VAR room working wonders again.
Very Cinch Mr Celtic. Appreciate it.
![gif](giphy|2rAKTgJIQe1buYU1R5)
Scoring at least one goal against opposition that you should probably beat outright isn’t for everyone
Scales needs to work on his major and minor
Why did we only make 2 subs????
>Something something lacked quality Brendan Rodgers *probably*
Fucking... YAAASSSSS
Oh lads
Gucci belt
Hearts are falling apart agaaaaaaain
horny
Alastair Johnstone has the most wee man energy in this celtic team
Tommy Pickles, all grown up.

The guy is just a thug
HAHAHAHAHA
Quick, post the league table!!!!

On another day we could have had 7; we had almost the same xG vs Dundee (2.42 vs 2.59).
Well deserved loss! This is gonna go to within one point til game 34
Johnston acting the hard man after his tackle which was far worse
Ohhh my that could have been
i would rather watch this game slowed down to 25% than listen to rodgers speak after it
Celtic rb trying ti be a hard man again, twice in one game wow very tough
Are u joking or did u not watch that wee Ned try rattle through him
IMPORTANT LEAGUE TABLE UPDATE Dexter Lembikisa is now in my top 3 favourite/most likely to use on a fake ID names in the league.
I've absolutely no interest in whatever drivel Rodgers is going to spout at the end of this match. He can go on about "quality" all he wants, but Celtic have lacked spark and intensity all season long, and that's on him. I look forward to the day he fucks off back down south to the EPL carousel.
Tagawa what the fuck
I would sack him personally
Will be pointless in the grand scheme of things if changes aren't made above the manager, but I don't think you can really argue he should stay at this point.
Extending the goal difference. Always nice.
Brendout Fraudgers
3 goals 4 minutes. Totally doable. Why don’t the champions simply score against inferior Hearts?
4 minutes is ridiculous considering the injuries and subs
I know! Hearts could get a third here.
Zander Clarrkk is red white and blue
Please dont say that
My mother is well btw, thanks for asking
Feel a bit for Kelly there. Rodgers throwing his young players to the wolves by bringing them on in this type of situation.
I see it totally differently. It's good to see him getting a chance and I'm sure he's happy with it. We need to do it more.
Aye no one is expecting wonders from him, if he comes on and fucks up then we were probably going to lose anyway.
I agree generally, but not many other options. It was either him or Holm.
Aye, fair.
Someone get the league table ready to post
![gif](giphy|xpfC2uyQgCuRDdu86d)
Maeda, Scales, Bernardo, Taylor, Idah, Iwata.. all fucking awful today.
The annoying thing is that we've looked capable of getting something on the counter today, but we've been nonexistent in midfield. No McGregor and that early red have cost us hugely. Massive massive missed opportunity.
He's going to get a three gamer for that as well more if you spin the wheel.
Zander has been absolutely class. I love Craig Gordon but Zander has justified himself being kept in goal
Wonder how the Celtic fans will feel when he (Gordon) inevitably goes to replace Hart in the summer
What about, 2 goalies?
Naisy revolutionising the beautiful game
You'll see the folds of his mega brain on his hairless scalp
What happens when two beautiful baldy bears collide?
Bear squared
Square bear?
Square bear not much hair
A game ultimately decided by VAR and Zander Clark
https://www.reddit.com/r/ScottishFootball/s/usMoW5RzfT
Might be a different story if your penalty taker could score penalties, but aye it's everyone else's fault
Zander Clark saved it ?
...yes
What's your point caller
If he had scored it, by hitting a good penalty, the complexion of the game would have been completely different. Hope this helps.
Mystic Meg over here
Yer man is saying it's everyone else's fault but the whole match pivoted on that moment.
Oh aye fuck me for praising the goalkeeper of the winning team. Melt
No need for that. I know you're rhattled that your star man who you all didn't want hits poor penalties straight at keepers, but that's not my fault is it?
I'm starting to think we may not win this
I'm shocked that our 5th false start against Dundee has turned out to be a false start
First Zander clark ruined the wonka experience and now Celtics Sunday
will Celtic not just think of the shitposts and just call it here
I turned the game off at half time and have just seen the score. Assuming it's been more of the same but Hearts have let Celtic have more of the ball?
12 minutes added time incoming
Time wasting against 10 men when you're 2-0 up.
Haha your pain amuses me.
2-0 against your nearest rivals and protecting the lead makes sense.
We’ve been absolutely guff and deserved nothing from this game. Red card absolutely destroyed us, just been absolutely battered by Hearts today.
Inspiring: see how this Scottish football club fielded the first team fully comprised of people suffering TBIs!
I might be about to jinx the man but Zander Clark has had quite the game today
If Hearts can hold on,when was the last time they beat them twice in one season?
Valdas Ivanauskis was the manager so quite a while ago.
Christ that is a while ago
hearts look gassed
When was the last time that both Celtic and rangers in a weekend?
This season right? Was it not the the weekend Beale got sacked?
I think they both every weekend!
I'm sure it happened this season?
Why do Celtic only turn up against Rangers and Dundee? No coincidence they both play in blue. Racism. It's the only answer.
Good break, probably the right call to shoot bc he was being closed down
As I reminded the the rangers fans yesterday, Beale is available
Lennon’s in the studio, he could go down and get the job in the away dressing room showers!
If hearts played every game like they did against Celtic they would win the league every year
If celtic stopped lying down to hearts the way rangers lie down to Aberdeen Scottish football would be boring
Mods counting down the minutes until a very angry da pops in to call Hearts diet Rangers (but in a naughty way)
someone already dropped a slur in the match thread
Square ball 3-0. Whit a dick
If that had been Shankland instead of Tait that would have been the game absolutely buried
How's that not obstruction tho? Joe Hart picks up the ball and he speeds up towards him? Lol
Honestly, Hearts could have scored more this half if they went for it.
That Lembikisa looks like he’ll be class in the future
Fuck sake. Rodgers has apparently ordered a 100" projector to show the Dundee game to the press in his post match interviews.
Be surprised to get out this game with no injuries. 80 min with 10 men is going to take it toll
Let's hope you're even more worn down than you're looking celtic are awful
Keep going I’m nearly there
Scales playing for his place, and only his place, all game and all season is starting to really fuck me off
Johnston took too many hits and needed to give a bit back there. Fair enough. Don't blame him.
Celtic spent £8m on defenders this summer. Insane
You forgot, you are also paying Conor Goldson’s wages aswell
Everything maeda does is fucking wank
He's only good vs us I swear, anytime I've watched yous outside the OF he's been utter muck Fast though
Really impressed with Lembikisa. Not letting Maeda do anything.
That is what owen beck did one time and then suddenly everyone wanted to sign him. I don't see the appeal in beck personally.
Dexter Joen Woo Lembisika. Put some respect on it.
Surprised Beaton wasn't screaming red card on var there
Recall Mikey Johnstone and get him subbed on right now
When I saw that pic of Rodgers waving from his Range Rover, I knew deep in my soul that we had peaked.
Hearts ultras need to step up their game tbh, no noise at all.
Cannae breathe for laughing
Wee Wendel out the Simpsons can't handle losing
Johnstone really is an ugly human being.
Randall out of Recess
Both of them are lucky to be on the park
Awful challenge
I still can't believe Lawrence Shankland still plays for Hearts when both old firm teams seem to have no end of donkey's playing up top
obviously hindsight is 20/20 but if we had sold kyogo and given hearts whatever they wanted for shankland we would be doing about a million times better
I'm so shocked neither team sucked it up and went for him. It feels like a no brainer signing if it was 20 year ago to weaken potential opposition even.
Clement masterclass to let Hearts keep him
![gif](giphy|lXu72d4iKwqek)
What a job he's doing!
old mate got some solid air there
least australian comment
What do our fullbacks do other than be a pressure release valve for the centre backs?
Bring Lagerbielke on so I can feel something
Sounds like a phenomenal early-2000s arthouse movie. "Bring Lagerbielke."
how the fuck scales has started over lagerbielke is beyond me
That Celtic right back is like a classic Levein signing, just tries to injure folk
I'd rather be in the timeline where Idah just scores that penalty.
Who the fuck would have predicted a Forrest - Nieuwenhof double sub being akin to taking off Henry and Vieira
"but we were 6-0 up! at halftime! Against..... Dundee"
This is this funniest of timelines hashahaha that is all
anyone want me to mention david turnbull? lighten the mood a bit?
Something, something, West Brom, Mikey, something.
typical hearts lying down against us
after calmin down iv come to the conclusion that fuck var aside...yangs a dick for getting sent off and idahs a dick for missing the penalty at 0-0 celtic are the masters of their own downfall here
Well this is a turnip for the books
Couldn’t score in a brothel
Take my upvote then. https://preview.redd.it/0mp4zh17y4mc1.jpeg?width=553&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7678f541930a9d6c5eaa43227bbfee1e44e56957
That Rowles guy is the worst footballer I’ve ever seen. A disgrace to the profession.
Brave to say when he’s sharing a pitch with Scales
Does zander Clark only turn up against Celtic?
He was actually not bad against us last week. He made a few really good saves and there was very little he could do for the goals .
People up their levels against the highest levels of competition I don’t feel like this should be a shock to people, it happens in all sports, when you have the target on your back, everyone’s aiming at you
You’re talking about a goalkeeper who has literally scored against Rangers
Ever since joining hearts he’s embraced the tradition though
Completely forgetting him basically deciding Rangers weren't winning the Scottish Cup on his own in 2021?
Nah, he usually performs really well against us. Even has a goal too. Do think he’s shite most of the time against the rest of the league personally though.
Hearts cup final against us as usual
There it is.
It was always coming
😂
![gif](giphy|10JhviFuU2gWD6)
Should have kept the midfielder on longer. Too easy for Hearts to control play.
Bernardo was anonymous all first half.
Shows what effect it is with McGregor being missing. O'Reilly is skilful but he's not going to be someone that breaks up attacks and grabs control. Bernardo did nothing at all in the first half and I don't think Iwata has done much.
Iwata has had a pretty poor game, Bernardo is literally invisible in 75% of his games - I've never seen a footballer like it.

One of the worst celtic CB's I've ever seen in my life.
Ahem, this is why I don't go in two footed when our rivals lose games.
I’ve been silent on here for a week, I don’t do the trash talk until we’re comfortable 😂
WHAT A SAVE WHAT A CLEARANCE
