First Considine of Aberdeen claiming (I think the original story actually comes from the Mail) that the referee got both big penalty decisions wrong at Pittodrie on saturday. Now I don’t even know what Aberdeen one he is referring to – I missed the first 30minutes of the game so maybe Aberdeen got somewhere near the Rangers box in that period. But to say the foul on Papac was not a penalty is just hilarious…..
Second is Joe Ledley claiming that Celtic need to win their next 26 games to be champions. Now I know Ledley isn’t the brightest, but come on!! We are only a third of the way through the season.
Rangers have been super consistent this season and even if they managed to keep up that level of consistency outside of OF games ( a massive IF) then they would still drop another 8 points between now and the end of the season. If Celtic win their game in hand and the remaining three OF games then Celtic can afford to potentially draw four more games and take the title on goal difference.
So even in the unlikely scenario that Rangers don’t lose to anyone other than Celtic between now and the end of the season but do draw a few games – Celtic can easily afford to drop more points and still win the league.
Why oh why do Celtic let these guys open their mouths…..quotes like this just make it sound like they have chucked it already. No-one in their right mind would believe Celtic will win the next 26 games in a row.
2 great stories on the bbc website today...

Naisy is currently (injury aside) in Rangers top 3 players.
He knocked back the chance to sign for Celtic.
He absolutely LOVES playing for Rangers.
He loves slamming it in the Celtic net.
He likes a good moan at Refs.
He has made the most out of tackles on a couple of occasions and been rightly punished for it.
Celtic fans like to have a hate figure in the Rangers line up that they can demonise and make out to be an absolute schumbag of a player who has no redeeming qualities.
Yup - Naisys yer man.

The truth is naisy is hated because he cheats, dives and is durty!! _________________________________
In the opinion of some Celtic supporters. None of what you said is fact or unique to Naismith, Stokes is as guilty of all of the above. He isn't hated because he isn't that good.

Ye kin back Naismith's nastiness with facts...of which a few Bears on here have previously pointed out.Sent off for diving, constantly moans at refs and opposition players and, on Saturday, should have been red carded for a disgusting challenge.
Don't mind you Bears stoically defending your clubs position with the Tax issue but, Naismith CONSISTENTLY gets involved when no need...his indignatious tackle was relevant to how he conducts himself on the field and resulted in his own injury, which hopefully won't be too serious.
He did reap what he sowed though

Naismith is no worse than any other striker in Britain in terms of diving/ tackling.
Celtic fans have chosen him as their current hate figure because he is vocal during games, usually because he is getting kicked over the park.
Not surprising considering he is someone who has already had to come back from cruciate ligament damage once already in his early career.

Nonsense! He reminds me of Gascoigne without the ability
He will continue to pick up needless injuries until he can control himself on the park.

This coming from a guy/gal who spends his evenings fantasising about Gary Hooper playing for Spurs.
I think I will pass on your twisted bitter 'logic' this time TCD.....

It's fact...sqomething you struggle with

Aye TCD and its one of your 'facts' that Gary Hooper will could 'easily' be donning a Spurs shirt some time soon.
Its not a fact at all Naismith 'constantly' moans at refs. He is probably an above average moaner but to say he constantly does it is just plain wrong. How would he manage to score 9 goals from midfield this season if he was constantly moaning at the ref?
And how can he be constantly moaning at opposition players if hes constantly moaning at the ref? Doesnt make sense. He cant do both.
He was booked for diving which resulted in a red card. The red card was for the accumulation of two yellow cards - only one of which was for diving. So he wasnt sent off for diving at all - he was sent off for two yellow card offences, one of which was diving.
These are the FACTS.
That Naismith should have been sent off on saturday is the opinion of Aberdeen and Celtic fans.
I wonder what those two unsavoury bunches have in common?
Let me answer that one for you ... in the absence of winning anything meaningful they justify their existence with the hatred of all things Rangers.
