IfUNo & Hampden -
The rules both dictate that both Celtic sending-offs were correct. Wanyama went in with two feet off the ground, this is a dangerous tackle and is a red card.
The Cha one was an even easier one, he pulled Wallace back and denied him a clear goalscoring chance. Again, red card.
Go and have a read at the rules before tearing into the ref. He did well today.
Oh aye, IfUNo - The personal abuse just shows you up for the little kid that you are. Grow up.
What are you talking about last weeks game for?
The three reds today were correct decisions.
Why can some people not just lose with dignity?
Tim. Totally agree Rangers deserved it but Pie and his non stop criticising is OTT
Bluebells, enjoy your day pal, better team won on the day. I think any prospective buyers may have been impressed by the performance of Rangers and the atmosphere generated by both sets of fans. Once again, well done.
I'm talking about last week because a senior ex-ref came out and said that contact by itself does not warrant a foul. That is why, in his book, Stokes didn't get a pen. Now, today, Cha made only slight contact, it wasn't enough to bring anyone down. Ridiculous decision
Cha defo a sending off. Wanyama no even the sky pundits said it and McCoist. But if gives u something else to whine about fill ur boots. R we allowed to have a view on the off-side goal. Though as I've said rangers deserved to win.
IfUNo - Not non-stop at all.
I've been critical this last week, and during our bad run, because it has been deserved.
When we do well, I give credit.
Quite simple.
A lot of people on here don't like me because I don't spout the usual party line of "the ref cheated us today" like a few folk have been on here.
I say what I feel. Not what makes me feel better.
Anyway, I'm in a shocker of a mood already and I'm not gonna spend the rest of today arguing with you.
Have a good one lads, I'm off.

two pints for you in the tap
Agree with the OP - you didn't turn up for game and only one team wanted to win.
Really surprised about the attitude of Celtic on the park.
Brown - headless chicken who exposed Cha continually becuase he couldn't keep a position
Cha - where did you get this clown?
Mathews - ball watcher
Wanyama - too slow, poor pass led to cha incident
Ledley - very anonymous
Stokes - not good enough at whatever level you think you are at
Samaras - best Celtic player on the park.
Rogne - best defender you have
Two of the reds were fine. the Cha one not in my opinion because it wasn't a clear goalscoring opportunity but I can sort of see why the ref gave it.
Cheers Albert.
I was ready to congratulate Celtic and at best,hoped for a draw.Pleasantly surprised by Rangers football today,and gives bears a chance to smile for once.
Enjoy your day when it comes man.
Struggle to understand the over the top reaction from some bhoys at times
Rangers deserved it - fair play to them
Neither cha or Wanyama left the ref much choice but the offences were hardly disgraceful ! Cha got caught wrong side - soft but correct decision. Wanyama's still a young boy - 19 ah think ? Wasn't nasty - studs down won the ball but twofooted so had to go - he'll learn.
We need to realise we've no divine right to bear everyone - we ain't Barcelona - we've fought hard and played well to get to this point but all of a sudden we're borrowed
We're the best team in the country and will be deserved champions but lose a game or two and the sequence of straight wins is forgotten !
No, you're right.
We should win every game we play in ever and our manager should never question the decisions of a referee, we should just congratulate him for sending our player off in a debatable decision.
Why don't you support the team rather than labelling us bottle crashers?
You learn more about some "supporters" after defeats than you do during victories.
Henrik
Pie, you are also belittling Rangers by putting it all down to Celtic's bottle crashing.
Rangers deserved to win today.
Celtic have had a very good season so far.
FFS we don't win the treble and all of a sudden we're s/hite?
Quebecelt, it is embarrassing really.
Was totally different to the stokes pen incident.
Wallace was tugged on his arm/shirt. This is a clear foul in the rules. Yes he went down easy and you won't find me complimenting him for it but it doesn't take back the fact that he was fouled.
Stokes may have had his sock brushed and fell over about 10 seconds afterwards. Totally different.
It was a foul, not a sending off to be honest.
Wanyama's tackle was disgraceful I thought, but it only receives the same punishment as Cha? I think some rules ruin the game.
OP way over the top, no one should be hanging their head in shame.
Listen to Lennons interview, watch the goals and the sendings off again on TV and then comment.
Rangers started the better and the first goal was a beauty but Stokes should have equalised after Sammys great run, same sort of shot as last week.
Some weird decisions and some even weirder not given but let Ally have his moment and delude himself that this result changes anything, it doesn't, we'll still win the league and only Celtic can win the double while Rangers are still in administration.
OP - nonsense
have sum balls and call a bad decision when you see it..
Yoo Belfast
Can't believe today happened.3 -0 up and even before the red cards we played good stuff.
Postpones the inevitable,but happy days anyway.
Once again, after a defeat I am as honest as I can be. I don't hide behind the ref. And I'm not a real fan.
Pathetic.
Rangers fans have a phrase for you lot "always cheated, never defeated".
The ref got the decisions right today. Lennon didn't.
Our players showed a terrible attitude and Rangers players showed an excellent attitude.
Now, I've said this time and again: I believe we have far superior players to Rangers, in terms of ability. But this game isn't all about ability. You have to have the right attitude, and a mental toughness.
We don't have that mental toughness, yet.
I've not written anyone off in this article. I've just said what is true, Lennons behaviour was devoid of any class. He is a representative of this club, and that is disgraceful in my eyes.
Wanyamas challenge was a daft one, but he's young so I'm hoping he learns from it.
Cha is a shocker, end of. He's not good enough to play for us. He's a sprinter, not a footballer.
Now, how does this make me any less of a fan than anyone else on here? Just because I have the balls to tell the truth?
Pathetic is the right word, for you guys blaming the ref.
Morbhoy - Watched it again last night.
The sending offs were all bang on. I understand it's hard to accept that performance, but don't blame the ref when he got it right.
Mulgrew and Rogne were bullied yesterday. Aluko was excellent, whenever he dropped into the hole he took us to pieces, don't know why we didn't put someone on him?
I believe we have far superior players to Rangers
-------------------
I hear this a lot and I have to say I really understand why folk think this.
Celtic have a deeper squad of average players than rangers but man for man the two strongest starting XIs don't have much in it hence why the head to head record is so even.
*really don't understand.
