Hibernian vs. Rangers Match Thread

Live on Setanta Ireland.

Just gone half time. Hibs scored a cracking goal 2 minutes before half-time, and are winning 1-0.

As it stands, Celtic are still top of the table, and Rangers have all the work to do.

'Gers have been awful.

How Velicka gets a slot in that team is beyond me, the guys got about as much skill and pace as Des on a saturday night.

Cmon the hibs - put in a solid 45 now please.

I'd snap up a draw at the moment. Puts it back in Celtic's hands. Rangers won't catch the goal difference, as small as it looks atm.

Just flicked on for a bit at half time in the Man Utd match,

great play by whittaker, cross into Novo who missed his 2nd chance in a matter of mins.

Deserved goal. Rangers absolutely piling the pressure on Hibs 2nd half.

PauloMN · 13-05-2009 9:40pm

1-1 FT

Jaypers... tense 2nd half. Looks like we got out of jail. For the time being anyway.

Eirebear · 13-05-2009 9:44pm

Unbelievably that 2nd half was the best ive seen rangers play all season...typical eh?

PauloMN · 13-05-2009 9:47pm

All I know is that Rob Jones is one SPL player I wouldn't mind in the Celtic squad. He saved Hibs bacon I thought.

eirebhoy · 13-05-2009 9:51pm

I haven't been that nervous watching a game in at least a year. I literally couldn't sit down for the 2nd half and my eyes were staring at the top left corner for the last 14 minutes. What a 45 minutes.

2 wins for Celtic now should do it. It's all about Saturday. If they beat Hibs I couldn't see them failing to win the SPL.

2 wins by just 1 goal for Celtic will give Celtic a +49 goal difference. Rangers would have to win their 2 games by at least 5 goals to win the league if Celtic get the 2 wins.

Ecstatic here.

Falkirk overtaking St Mirren at the bottom is more great news.

Boardsies - take a look at the lack of activity right now in this thread to realise how few actual Celtic supporters there are in this country. Celtic forums right now are setting records for current users online yet we've had 2 Celtic fans post since here since full time (and yes, boards does represent our country

).

Usual cliches here but what a big set of games this weekend. If this does not motivate the Celtic team after last weekend, nothing will.

Atomic Pineapple · 13-05-2009 10:20pm

Knew if anyone was gonna help Celtic it was gonna be Hibs, didn't get to see the game but a great result! Two wins now and Celtic have it!

Come on the Bhoy's !

lisbon_lions · 13-05-2009 10:28pm

Its going to be a tight run in. Did not see rangers dropping points this evening. Big big games coming up.

premierstone · 13-05-2009 10:34pm

So if we do win the two final games and the title does this mean we're stuck with Strachan for another season :mad:

Every silver cloud has a dark lining!

Title or not, he wouldn't be sacked. Question is whether he'd walk. 4 in-a-row and he might decide to leave on a high, lose it and he might leave also. Who knows? I always got the impression that the whole "Old Firm" nonsense got to him and that he'd be short term rather than long term, but 4 seasons later and here we are.

Anyway, let's discuss it in a couple of weeks. Now is not the time - just gotta get the team prepared for two tough games.

EDIT: sorry folks, I guess this should really be in the Celtic thread. Not used to posting in other threads on here.
