The Aberdeen goal aside, Charles-Cook's been disappointing, as was his sub appearance on Saturday.

Yup,  don't like seeing any player injured but it isn't going to weaken us,  not been impressed at all with RCC

You seem to be a bit hurt and put out by the suggestion that it was anyone other than the “dirty bad bigoted Rangers” that were to blame. Indeed you are trying to use examples of instances in the past where Rangers fans were at fault to try and deflect from what happened at the end of the game in question on Sunday 8th March 2026 where it was Celtic fans at fault. 
 

I don’t know too much about Rangers fans invading the park after they thought they had scored, but obviously if they had then that wouldn’t have been acceptable either. Fans shouldn’t invade the park regardless of what team they support. The stands are for the fans to celebrate, the park are for the players to celebrate. That’s the ways it’s always been.

Also, I don’t remember Aberdeen’s fans charging on to the park and aggressively goading the Celtic fans in the stands at Hampden after last seasons Scottish Cup Final. If you or anyone else can point me in the direction of any photos or footage which shows otherwise then I’d be grateful. Had they done so then I think it’s pretty safe to assume that there would have been some kind of reaction.
 

You obviously just want to see everything from a perspective of “Rangers are bad, scum, the worst and whatever they do is premeditated and hostile” whilst at the same time anyone giving them any abuse or whatever is fair game because they’re Rangers and they deserve it. And as I’ve already said that’s absolutely fine if that’s how you see it.

I prefer to look as things as I see them and judge it from there. And from what I saw from the game on Sunday, 8th March 2026, the post match bother was caused by Celtic fans.

And that, is that, my good man.

Hadn't any intention of continuing the dialogue but as you specifically asked for details on Aberdeen fans invading the park on SCF day last year, you can find any amount of pictures and accounts you want from all the main newspapers specifically PA . Occurs  at full time and after Aberdeen's equaliser.

As for the goading of Celtic fans ( albeit not of the stark nature of Rangers fans last Sunday) this was commented upon by various radio  broadcasters such as RS as well as the view that  the Celtic fans had ignored the incursion perhaps seeing it as simple ribaldry--- oh the contrast ! Feel free to checking it out. The fact is that it  pretty well debunks your misplaced assumption that Celtic fans would have reacted .

But I suspect even with this evidence you'll find some way of saying " aye but" !!

The JBA pre match interview on a Thursday is becoming one of my favourite things to watch, it’s like waiting for your favourite tv programmes next episode.
The man is class.

Only second to watching the team ☺️

I can remember trying to endure listening to previous managers and found it hard , tedious . I used to think if I struggle with 10 mins what must the players think listening every day at training .

shows just how much of a class act this guy is.

SODs looks and sounds like a different player now. So pleased he is enjoying himself. Seems like one if lifes good guys!

Interesting he referenced that some managers can "throw you under the bus" wonder if Graham Alexanders ears were ringing! 😆😆😆

Delighted for him after the ridiculous abuse he got at times last season. Guy is a human being snd didn't deserve it.   Just shows you what happens when you have a coach that believes in you. 

I was on a right downer after Dundee result which isn't like me but I really hope we can beat sellik tomorrow or at least avoid defeat

JBA has made such a difference in such a short time that sometimes you have to take a step back and remind yourself of just how much progress we have made. Yes, losing was a big disappointment but that was the only game we have lost in 18 against bottom 6 teams. We still dominated the game but just couldn’t manage to get the goals to win it. 
I was pleased to see JBA’s after match response which was very calm, sensible and measured, giving plaudits to Dundee for making it a very hard game for us amd also sticking by our players for their efforts. Being philosophical a not throwing anyone under the bus, basically sticking by the outlook he has preached all season, “there will be games, where, despite our best efforts, we will get beat”. Keep doing what we are doing well and work on improving in areas where we can do better.

Pretty unusual that this will be our third game against Celtic this season and the third manager we have faced. Rogers, Nancy and O’Neil. I imagine this game will be more like the previous one at parkhead but I think even in that game we still matched up well with Celtic.
I’m assuming we will have more space to play football in this game versus against Dundee last week so I’ll be expecting Just, Said and JT to be more influential and hopefully some decent shots from our midfield around the edge of the box.  Probably our main concern is defense since Welsh is out and Johnny K is still out but if we can maintain the ball for a large percentage of the game then that’s our best form of defense. 

[joewarkfanclub]

Missing Welsh and Johnny K certainly weakens us in a squad sense as it removes options for freshening things up. However, SOD & McGinn have been very good in the middle together so Id expect them to start.

As Ive posted elsewhere, Celtic aren't without their own issues, with CVV, Johnston, Trusty, Engels and MacGregor all likely to be missing and possibly Tierney as well.

Centre half pairing likely to be Scales & Dane Murray, so I think they can be got at.

Martin O'Neill teams are generally solid and hard to play against, so Id expect a harder game.than we got at Fir Park, but by the same token they are not gonna play a low block and hit us on the counter, so we should get more space to play our football.

We need some chaos back in our lives! Go Ibi!

Watt and Tj to score.

I think Sparrow and Longelo full backs with Jack and Victor centre defence

I would have thought if he was in JBAs plans his minutes would have been built up by now. He certainly cant start.

From the littlte Ive seen, he looked slow and ponderous. Not surprising given his injuries, but would have expected to see him feature more as he tried to regain fitness.
