    Scouts now think Dembele is pish so he's here for life

    Hopefully puts an end to complacency from the team and some fans predicting 10-0 pumpings and all that nonsense

    At least that * Kenny Miller didn't score

    Armstrong is quality

    Hopefully another nail in the coffin for Bitton's Celtic career

    Still undefeated

    Surely those predicting 10 nil were at the wind up.

    They are pish but not that pish. Anything can happen in these games as well.

    I don't fear these games at all, but that is not to say I don't think the worst could happen. But today could be a wee blessing in disguise. I don't know if we thought it would be a walkover, or if rangers stepped it up a wee bit to impress their new manager (lol they were still *) or if we, like Hamilton, lost a wee bit of hope when it was clear the filth had carte blanch to basically do whatever the * they wanted.

    Anyways, we won't make the same mistake at Hampden. Let them feel like they are progressing then school them in the semi. No idea what the pitch is like in Hampden, hopefully better than ours.

    Positives ... Hmm Gordon stopped us losing , Dembele will got a timely reminder that playing football is more important than launching some pish on Twatter or wherever he launched it, the pitch wasn't great but it's not at fault and hopefully we will have the right attitude next time.

    I was one of them, not 10 but i strongly believed we'd hammer them today. Im * gutted we didnt win!

    The only positive im taking from today is that my wallet hasnt taken a big hit and my body and mind will be still in a healthy state when i wake up in the morning without one massive hangover for a few days.

    As for positives from the game, im taking none. The huns where there for the taking and yet again, Celtic has let us all down. Look at the state they have been in in recent weeks and yet they very nearly got a win against us. Us who have steam rolled that league this year. That performance was unacceptable! Theres people who have travelled far and spent alot of money on this game and for the team to go out on the park and carry on like that, well IMO, they need to have a good look at themselves. This was a Celtic V rangers game, Id have prefaced to be beat by a team like ICT or St mirren than have a result like this against them.

    Yes Gordon had vital saves but so did their keeper, Armstrong alone could have had a hat trick, yes we were rotten but we had as many chances as them tbh.

    They took points from us, big * deal. It was gonna happen eventually and they're not the first team to do it in Scotland this year. Nobody has beaten us yet, I don't know why some people are acting like we were beat. We at least deserved a draw and shoulda won with a penalty that wasn't given.

    The fact remains this is the same team team that are 33 points behind us, do you think now all of a sudden they'll start being good? Aberdeen have also pushed us close to a draw.

    Positives: This game meant absolutely nothing. The most important thing, treble is still on and the second most - unbeaten season. Still remain. I genuinely don't even feel annoyed or upset that they drew with us, I'm glad they decided to pump themselves up for this game and surprise us rather in the cup semi final. That would have been a real * nasty surprise.

    we had our biggest off day in 8 months and they played well by their standards and they scraped a lucky draw. Big deal, it happens. Put Rogic back in our side and watch what happens at Hampden.

    Final whistle.

    If that had gone on for another 10 minutes it was 50/50 who was going to score next. We may well end up getting beat this season and losing our "invincibles" tag but if it happened against them at Parkhead that would have been sickening and they would have loved it.

    Re-watch the second half. Until Armstrong went off we were totally , totally dominant. They couldn't string two passes together .

    I was getting a bit obsessed with us breaking every record under the sun, especially the consecutive victories, & having our 2nd best season ever. However on reflection getting to European finals as we did in 1970 and 2003,even though we lost on both occasions really should top records. After all records are only there until they're broken.

    It was a strange game today, in the 2nd half we started to dominate and show our class but then later in the half they got that chance when the entire right side of our defense seemed to just go missing and Gordon made another save. This obviously encouraged them and we went into our shell a bit trying I suppose to just hang on for a narrow win.

    The performance of the referee was incredible, is it too much to hope that someone at Celtic Park will query a player wrapping his legs chest high around Griff and conceding nothing. Sometimes I despair, some of the earlier tackling defied belief, how they finished with 11 players I'll never know, or perhaps I do know.

    That we're not languishing in third place, 30+ points behind our bitter rivals
