Have been mulling over the game - yep McCoist should never have started with Edu,McCulloch to begin with,yes Wylde should have been on earlier.
But overall - Whittaker made a mistake last week that cost the away goal for Malmo (these happen) but tonight cannot be excused.. put it this way, u go into work the morra - do something u are not allowed and it costs the company £12-£15 mil !!!! how long would we last ????
he has let the fans, the players and most of all his manager down badly tonight, Barton got transfer listed for a couple of tweets, Whittaker should be made an example of and put up for sale ...
see if Bursa still have that £300k on the table
Whittaker for the exit door....

I would view this as more a statement from Ally about who is in charge, mistakes will happen but throwing the ball at a player on the ground in such a crucial game - no matter who they are "get tae f ***"
Fergie has done this for years at Man u - many a player has been booted out for less
Ally - time tae act

I said in a recent article that not cashing in on Whittaker was bad business for you.
Other players must look at his deal and think...if he's worth that then so am I.
He's a liability.

Remember him knocking in the odd goal in the UEFA cup run when he was allowed to play up the park a bit...should have tried that tonight.

I think we should buy whittaker, we need someone who can consistently score a penalty. Sub him on before taking it then sub him straight back off.

Didn't watch the game, but did Rangers not score after Whittaker got sent off? If thats the case surely you would have fancied yourselves 1-1and 10 v 10 against Malmo?
My point is, Boogie gets binned for smashing a guy in the head therefore leaving you a man down, but everybody seems to me slaughtering Whittaker.
Just wondering like.

My thoughts on the team;
Thank God Boogie is going, he's been a bombscare since he came back from the world cup.
Please, please, please get rid of Edu - he can't pass, trap, go round a defender. Everytime he's on the pitch, it's like the opposite team are guaranteed to take the ball off him. He's even too short to use as a corner flag.
We have a good backbone to the team with MacGregor, Davis, Jelly, Naismith, Papac, but the rest for me are just passengers. If we could afford to waste good money on Goodwillie, for goodness sake get Wylde signed up.
Ally is right, we need bodies and we need them NOW!! Our players are ageing and we need new blood, to keep the team up to scratch. Get these transfer targets sorted out, and stop letting them take the p!ss.
Give Cuellar 24 hrs - if no deal, drop it. We urgently need a decent striker (if Jelly is injured, we're sunk), and we need a couple of defenders and a least one more midfielder.
Celtic fans and pundits are asking how long will Ally last, if the situation is not dealt with, I can see him walking. How can he do a job for us, with a team in this position?
GET IT SORTED OUT!!

DalraedaGael,
It was never 10v10. We were always at least one man down.
And we scored despite Whittaker not because of him. If he'd kept the head we'd have won that match.
I don't think anyone is giving Bougherra an easy time, it is just that Whittaker has made at least one mistake in EVERY game this season so far.
