Celtic’s champagne is on ice until next weekend after the most bizarre events at Ibrox which saw the home side land two penalties to ensure Celtic did not win the league on Sunday.
The Ibrox club landed their 13th and 14th penalty of the SPFL season (doesn’t include cup competitions) to make sure Aberdeen left with nothing.
Scottish football has never seen the likes.
Aberdeen and The Rangers we’re both pretty poor on the day, and it must have rubbed off on the referee who failed to send off Jermain Defoe for assaulting the Aberdeen goalkeeper. The striker ran towards the goalkeeper after he had picked the ball out of the air and cracked him twice on the way down – nothing was given.
The referee had no such problem giving two penalties to The Rangers with the first one soft at best and the other laughable.
Celtic now go into May bank holiday weekend knowing a point at Pittodrie will be enough for a title party on Saturday afternoon.
If we want to make sure we wrap it up on the day, may we suggest pulling on some blue jerseys for the occasion?
Scottish football has been reacting to the latest penalty gate.
Rangers have no chance of stopping ten in a row.
Penalty to Rangers on the other hand could be a force.

FT Rangers 2-0 Aberdeen .. Rangers much the better side.. Aberdeen very disappointing if truth be told. looked like they were happy to take a draw. that said but for 2 dodgy penalties they would probably have got their point. referee had a very poor game

There are three things that are certain in life: death, taxes and a Rangers penalty.

Come on they owed the rankers a couple of pens after letting broonie off with a horrendous smiling and lifting of his arms
Was watching Stevie G having a word with the ref at half time going up the tunnel and thought he will be asking the ref where’s the bloody penalty you promised and i’am sure i heard the ref saying calm down stevie boy i’ll give you one rigjt at the start of the second half.
What i thought was very laughable was how they are so happy playing meaningless games they have won nothing and a bunch of very happy chaps thinking they won something that they have not in end of season games that have no meaning or significance,its like if we talk about a player they want to buy him LOL we are going buy ten new players for next season yes plenty new faces to keep a run going,look back at what we have done winning each year over so many seasons this is the hardest season as new faces would come and go but the solid part remained but now who we buy in takes us to nine and if they are the right players they will set a record that may never be equaled or passed some one said eight is the very hardest to get
Curiouser and Curiouser and even though the sheep went down to ten men. Sevco couldn’t muster a third penalty. Nor goal from open play. Just blame TMITB.Slippy by name, slippy by nature
Referee Don Robertson has now won his hun jacket from the masters at larkhall. The spineless sh1t couldn’t even spot one player assaulting another, and he gets £800 to referee the game. I watched the u18’s final the other night and was surprised to see the traits of their big brothers surfacing when Celtic scored their two goals. More aggression, time wasting, and cheating and we saw the source today. Katic, the cheating b@stard diving for one pen, then faking assault to signal to brother Robertson, time for their second penalty award. Talk about abusing his position, Fcuk, I thought Robertson was going to join in with taverier when they celebrated.
I hate to say this but Lennon could lose us this League title.
The refs always try harder against Aberdeen! . Don’t worry too much about Mr Slippy chatting to ref in tunnel. He only asked him, “How old is yer Granny”. These things usually balance themselves over the course of the season. Especially when Mason Boyne is sitting at one end of the Seesaw! We need to spend big and make the Sevconites an absolute irrelevance. Then they can talk about tainted titles “Disnae count”. Let us swim in their pain. Get it round them! Hail! Hail!
The manky mob and slippy along with referees sponsor has declared that they shall never abolish the word Pen-al-tee which shall be engraved on both crossbar’s at Ibrokes !!!
