Another Old Firm Weekend

Basically Rangers dominated vs Dunfermline. I was there.
Basically Celtic dominated vs Dundee United. I watched on Sky.

At Ibrox we were entertained by Wylde, Bendiksson and Aluko; Rangers pinned back the Pars like they havent done to a team since last seasons run in; some of the intricate play was a joy. Many of my mates enjoyed this game as the second best this season. Well done Ally, and i cant believe the downbeat press afterwards. Controversy? No highlights have shown how many times Aluko was kicked by Dunfermline players; how moments before the penalty he skinned Potter on the byeline inside the box only to be bodily lifted and thrown by Potter into the hoardings; to a man Ibrox screamed penalty but Mr Conroy and his linesman were the only two inside Ibrox who didnt agree.
Celtic vs United? I expected blood and thunder, i expected United to press a Celtic team recovering from Thursdays exertions. I didnt see that for one minute of 90. Celtic strolled it, United players could barely pass to one another and you would have sworn it was a meaningless end of season game. The least passionate against either of the OF i've seen United ever. Celtic were very professional, 1-0 up and basically asked United to change that if they could; Willo Flood shot 8 feet wide in 85th minute was the reply.

So, how do you sell them papers?
"Dunfermline rage against penalty!"
" Celtic RA chant charge dropped"
Just another OF weekend.

Aluko is facing a two match ban for diving.

I could argue that Celtic didn't play on Thursday
