This is great. We’ve reached the stage where Old Firm fans are point scoring over how long they put the opposition under pressure in ties where they were on the end of gubbings. 

No matter your opinion we were in that game for 60 mins with a chance of taking something. This game was over in 20. Not really comparable performances irrespective of score

Ajax made €100mil in profit las year because they invest in their youth development, trust that development in the first team and have a fantastic recruitment strategy.

All things Rangers and Celtic are capable of doing.

Ajax can spend €20mill on players because their focus on selling players at the right time allows them to.

The old firm cling on to players too long because they are arrogant enough to think they should be topnof the food chain. Morelos and Kent being prime examples.

Congratulations. No matter what happens you’ll always have those 20 minutes.

Do Rangers not have a media relations team to prep the manager for all scenarios?

While he may be correct in what he's saying, you don't actually say it publicly. Why would fans pay for tickets if their own manager thinks they have no chance?

makes sense but i guess, assuming he knows what he's doing, its i) a bit of a dig at not getting in several players he perhaps wanted and had to go for 3rd/4th choice targets, ii) trying to ease the pressure on the players for the rest of the group stage, or more simply an old fashioned "go on, prove me wrong" challenge to the players and/or iii) he's already seen enough to know they're not going to win a single game in the group and he's just getting in front of it.

And yet many old firms are confused why the home ends are empty at their away games

If only Gio and his troops had listened to the likes of HailHailHailey, they'd have easily countered the massive financial imbalance through better organisation, having a robust business plan and trying a lot harder.

Was the Ajax manager or players admitting that the first 20 or so minutes of the game they were just trying to survive? 

Ha ha 😂 oh dear,Real Madrid just trying to survive against the mighty Glasgow Celtic ?  Oh Carlo, you really should try stand-up, you're a natural...... Real Madrid will not have an easier game all season is the truth of matter.

Really? You don't think Madrid will utterly batter another team by at least 3 goals for the rest of this long season? Settle down and stop trying too hard.
