SPFL 23/24 - On beIN Sports (Scottish Cup on 10)

[Ed_Gein]

Crazy game. I don't think a draw will be enough for Celtic. Can win the home derby but they are also way more likely drop to points against the other teams.

I would say if we won it would've been very difficult for Celtic. Still too close to tell at the moment.

 

[DEVO]

40 minutes to go and Ross County have scored three times against Rangers, it’s just a shame we are only leading 2-1.

This might be the first time we have ever been in front.

 

[DEVO]

15 minutes to go and we are now leading 3-1. Trying hard not to get too excited.

 

[DEVO]

Rangers get a penalty in the 89th minute, its now 3-2 with 7 minutes of extra time to go.

 

[windyhill]

It.

 

[DEVO]

WE WON!

County beat Rangers 3-2, probably costing them the title, which is great except another title goes to Celtic.

 

[Hamingja]

Ross County are good value. Hope they stay up. The Scottish fans perhaps don't like the long road trip for an away game but would much prefer RC in the top tier than Livi or Kilmarnock etc with the low blocks and plastic pitches.

 

[Hamingja]

Embarassing stuff that Hibs and Aberdeen don't make the split

 

[windyhill]

Dundee.

 

[Hamingja]

Wow Rangers really don't like pressure do they. If they played RC and Dundee 2 months ago when chasing they would have been regulation wins.

Three of our final five games are at home and we start away at last placed Livingston, so I think we are a very good chance of moving at least one spot further up the table if our recent home form continues, we have won three and drawn two of our last five home games.

The big game could be our second last, away at St Johnstone, whoever loses that game will more than likely be resigned to the relegation playoff.

 

[Hamingja]

I can't believe Celtic won a penalty shoot out. Legit must go at about 50-50 on converting from the spot usually. Some Joe Hart scenes. Steps up to take the winning penalty, misses, then saves to win the shoot out.

 

[Hamingja]

Big 3-0 win overnight.

Hearts had beaten Celtic twice this year so was a potential banana skin. They were lucky it was not 5 or 6 in the end, perhaps the best Celtic have played all year. That pass from O'Riley for Kyogo's second goal

If Maeda is fit enough to start next Saturday, it will be the best team Celtic can put out on the park, so in a good spot for the last Derby.

 

[DEVO]

Ross County defeated Hibs 2-1 to move out of the Relegation Playoff position.

County have won four and drawn two of their last six home games, but have lost their last seven away games, thankfully two of their last three games are at home, but the important game against St Johnstone (who we jumped past last night) is away.

 

[windyhill]

Bonkers. As usual.

 

[Ed_Gein]

Hope to never see Lundstram play for us again

Didn't track O'Reilly for his goal, scores an own goal, then gets a straight red in the space of 10 minutes.

 

[The Final Word]

Love it. Kenny Miller is inhabiting nonsense island. Studs up, out of control, misses the ball, gets the leg.

But it's all Johnstone's fault.

No idea what he's playing at. He didn't want to swallow his pride and admit he was wrong intially calling it a yellow, instead he double-downed on the replay's. Was a stonewall red. I reckon Lundstram wanted off

 

[windyhill]

Loved that.

 

[Hamingja]

You have to love Maeda. Always gets up for the derbies.

 

[Hamingja]

O'Riley is going to be a big miss next season. They will want to replace him a hell of a lot better than they replaced Jota. Signed 9 players in the summer and none started yesterday. Scales and Forrest were 5th / 6th choice under Ange and Rodgers has been forced to start them.

As long as Rangers keep signing garbage and hanging on to the same players that get managers sacked, you’ll be right.

Mixed feelings about this season. Had no right to even think about the title when Beale was sacked. Yet Celtic fell in a hole and Clement got a tune out them (more like dead cat bounce) for a few months. The Motherwell, Staggies and Dundee results were diabolically s**t with the title on the line but the inability to get anything out of the OF games when Celtic were struggling was also costly.

Squad needs major surgery again. Honestly wouldn’t care if all of them were sold except for Butland and Sterling.

Inverness CT are in danger of being relegated to Scotland's third tier after losing the first leg of their Championship playoff final against former SPFL league Hamilton Academical, a late ICT goal means they go into the second leg at home trailing 2-1. If relegated, it will be the first time since the late 1990's that ICT have been in the third tier.

It happened. Inverness relegated from the championship

Ross County finish in 11th and play Raith Rovers in SPFL playoff after they drew 2-2 with Aberdeen.

Motherwell obviously had an agenda, they don't want any highland teams in the league, they defeat County 5-1 in Dingwall and then lose 2-1 at home to St. Johnstone a week later.

Both games in the playoff final will take this week, County head to Kirkcardy for the first leg on the 24th and Raith travel to Dingwall on the 26th.

Just out of interest, Raith's hometown of Kirkcaldy has a population of 50,000 and their stadium's capacity is just under 9,000, while County's hometown of Dingwall has a population of 5500 and their stadium's capacity is 6500.
