The meltdown at Ibrox following Celtic’s 3-2 win in the Glasgow derby at the weekend has been greatly amusing for Hoops fans.

And now, former Rangers captain Barry Ferguson has come out and said Celtic were left ‘rattled’ by Michael Beale’s men and that the Hoops were there for the taking (Daily Record):

“The frustrating thing is that Celtic were there for the taking on Saturday.”

This simple statement in itself is greatly amusing. If Celtic were trully ‘there for the taking’, would it not be down to how poor Rangers were that they weren’t able to take advantage of it?

Furthermore, this puts even more shine onto Celtic’s triumph that they still managed to win despite not being at their best.

Later on in his column, Ferguson went on to say Celtic were ‘rattled’ by Rangers:

“They were rattled by the way in which Rangers were pressing them and harassing them all over the pitch and it showed in the number of slack passes and sloppy mistakes that they made.”

What Ferguson says here is deeply ironic. He is claiming that Celtic were left dumbfounded by Rangers’ pressing, which forced the Hoops into errors when in actual fact, it was the other way about for Celtic’s second and third goals.

The Hoops coaxed the Gers’ backline into mistakes, allowing the Bhoys to score.

The narrow-mindedness of Ferguson is clearly displayed here and throughout his latest column, which also shows how the former Gers midfielder is still down in the dumps following Saturday’s match.

  1. I think this is just the beginning of the Cup semi narrative…and its only going to get worse. Just listen to Kenny Miller’s pain and one-sided viewpoint, for example. They are crying and here come’s “they are better than us” crap. Ange nailed them in an interview last week. No use trying to copy or be someone else, “you have to believe in yourself and your own ideas.” They wont be better than us just because they keep saying it. That’s how delusions are formed. 12 points, 29 goals, haven’t won over 90mins for 2 years etc., etc., But feel free to keep on giving Sevco, cos we’re luvin it !!

  2. They are st johnstone with better players and when they come up against us they play like it .
    They waste time ,slow the play down and look fo set pieces and hitting on the break. Ferguson’s ratings will not change that fact

  3. So this thick hun fuck wants to add rattled to his sussed views on how his scum team can compete against ourselves?
    Well how well is that working out for ya, horrible bluenose eejit?

  4. The EBT cheat will say anything fpr a Pound. You talk sh1te and you know it. How does it feel to know you are a lodger in your own wee hoosie. Your a nonce, a hanger on, and you and your ferguson mob were rank failures. All the years and you still can’t see the Green & White in front of yea’s. Hail Hail.
