Seems like they've regressed since so it is just a bit amusing to see last night's result after being told how rubbish they are/were. Yet the manager got sacked. Leipzig weren’t of stellar quality by Champions league standard yesterday and certainly weren’t that either when your team played them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigDoddyKane Posted October 6, 2022 Share Posted October 6, 2022 I still think we are too physically weak, small a team. For me last night was another example of that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were also told last seasons Rangers team were akin to the Lisbon Lions, fans sensationalise, you would think you would know that by now Edited October 6, 2022 by Jinky67 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were much better than the Lisbon Lions. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kennie makevin Posted October 7, 2022 Share Posted October 7, 2022 I find it hard to believe that anyone told anyone that last seasons' Rangers were akin to the Lisbon Lions. They both reached a European final but there the comparison very much ends. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
just me 2 Posted October 7, 2022 Share Posted October 7, 2022 I find it hard to believe that anyone told anyone that last seasons' Rangers were akin to the Lisbon Lions. They both reached a European final but there the comparison very much ends. Both won the Scottish Cup. I think what some people were saying was if they won it was up there with 67, mostly talking about the level of the opposition and the number of rounds Rangers had to progress. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many games did Celtic play to reach the final vs Rangers did ? I’m assuming it was quite a few less ? However, on the flip side how many players did Celtic use vs Rangers ? I’m also assuming it was quite a few less. You can’t compare as it’s completely different era’s. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kennie makevin Posted October 7, 2022 Share Posted October 7, 2022 My view in the Lisbon Lions is fairly straightforward. They were the greatest club side Scotland has produced and their achievement was the greatest by a Scottish club. However they are not the greatest club side the world has produced and their acheivment is not the greatest in world club history....so basically overrated by most Celtic fans and underrated by most fans of other Scottish clubs 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ewan8472 Posted October 8, 2022 Share Posted October 8, 2022 (edited) Bother. but did Brian Clough not say that Dundee United's two goal win away to a Borussia(?) team ( 2 - 0 aggregate ) was the best ever result by a British team ?

Ewan8472 Posted October 8, 2022 Share Posted October 8, 2022 Sorry - beating the Spanish and Germans , possibly the best results over the last 10 years. " Clough on McLean ". YT 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigkillie Posted October 9, 2022 Share Posted October 9, 2022 I'm a massive Craig Gordon fan, but you only have to go back just over a week ago to find him booting the ball right against an Ireland player and nearly conceding a goal, and only have to go back to Saturday to have him flapping at a cross and being bailed out by an awful refereeing decision. Individual mistakes don't define a goalkeeper.And you only have to look at this afternoon to see a howler even worse than Hart's in midweek. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
