Thing with Collum isn't that he is a bad ref but he is just so unpredictable. Game going along nicely and then out of nowhere - BOOM! Penalty, 3 red cards, couple of pitch invasions from the dugouts and people throwing themselves off the top tier.
----------------------------------------------------------------------smid...have to say that I find that a very strange appointment. He was complaining himself recently about being singled out and sidelined. Asking for trouble IMO

Plenty of recent goals in amongst all of that but this will go down as my favourite

They were heading for 10 In A Row

We hadn't won an OF game in 9 attempts and this goal won it for us and ultimately gave us the much needed points.

This was easily my favourite of firm moment.


Less than a year after Rangers got close to winning the Champions League, just after Rangers signed the most expensive player in British history.

One month after Celtic almost went bust, the worst manager in our history in charge.

Murray bans Celtic fans from Ibrox.

Up steps Collins to silence the crowd with a stunning free kick. It was the goal which launched predator boots as much as the goal which launched the McCann era.


Ok Rangers went on to get a late equaliser (Mikhailichenko?) But as a moment, it felt like a watershed.

The very next game at Ibrox a few months later was Tommy Burns's first OF game as manager and we finally won at Ibox for the first time in years, with Collins scoring a free kick which was almost as good.

But there was something about that first free kick, the silence after he scores, the banner being flown above the ground, the superiority from the Rangers fans (I realise the irony, and it is probably similar to us now), the optimism of the McCann era.

What a moment, and I'm amazed no knew has mentioned it yet.

It was a dive that led to the free kick. Same old Celtic, always cheating

Thomsons two tackles on Keane to set the tone for the match. Knew then that the entire team was up for it.

Pedro Mendes' goal in the 4-2 game? Absolute peach of a strike.

Jelavic's goal in the League Cup final. Time just stood still, and didn't think it was going to trickle across the line.

Edu's goal, just for the sheer sense of relief.

And one I haven't seen mentioned as of yet. The 3-2 game back in March 2012. Celtic fans going on about that was them going to win the league that day, Rangers fans resigned to that fact. We'd went on a poor run of form after the announcement of administration, our best players were injured (Naismith) or sold (Jelavic), started with Lee McCulloch as our only striker. Then 10 minutes into the game, Sone Aluko picks the ball up, dribbles past several players, then scores an absolute screamer. The sense of relief I had then was absolutely amazing. Then Cha Du Ri got sent off, then Wanyama for a pretty awful challenge on either Whittaker or McCabe, can't quite remember. Then Wallace and Andy Little scored within 10 minutes of one another, to make it 3. Celtic then almost pulled it back with two towards the end, but we managed to hold on. We managed to stop what seemed inevitable going into the game, and it gave everyone associated with the club a few hours of total relief, in among all the shambles. And Kerkar came on as well! Just for what it meant, and the circumstances around it, means it's quite high in my all time games.

I was there that day, the fates had aligned for Celtic to get revenge for their shame game and despite everything in their favour they couldn't raise their game.

I never felt we were going to lose that day, just had a feeling in the run up to the match
