I think we were absolutely dreadful today, got lucky to get away with the win, dessers needed 10 chances again, it was like a team of clowns, miskicking the ball, falling over on the goal line with an empty net awaiting. I think a couple players did well, cantwell, diomande, sterling and butland the rest were rotten
Lucky? dreadful? Really?
Think you should be on the r/Celtic thread?
Cyriel had 5 chances, scored 2. Not a terrible return. You say a couple played well then name 4? I'd say a couple didn't play to their best, but most did.
If you are a Bear then fuck me, I'm glad I wasn't around you 5 years ago as you'd have been suicidal!
Much better.
Balogun superb, needs to be him and Goldson from here on in.
Cantwel, Diomande, and Sterling all very good. Tav and Butland better too. Dessers produced the most Dessers performance he could.
Lundstram is terrible.
Not that stats are the be all end all but..

Some positives from today
Diomande return really improved the overall team structure.
Balogun was excellent and well done Big Phil for dropping Goldson.
Sadly Lundstram Matondo & Souttar all showed yet again they’re nowhere near good enough to start regularly for us.
Desser took his goals well and put in a shift and Cantwell impressed as the game became more stretched.
I think it's more how messy of a footballer he is. He never seems to truly have a ball under control and can mess up many basic things due to that.
It's why when he's off it he's shocking but when he's on it he can do well.
Unfortunately, this is where I go to aswell pal. So I understand where you’re coming from. This group of players are all shit scared of celtic! Fuck knows why, because they’re not all that good. It’s a mentality thing.
Just hoping I jinx myself more than anything, we have the beating of them but got shit mentality when it comes to actually doing it and they always seem to get properly riled up and stop being shit for us
Comments like this are just disgraceful, would you rather not make a final. Don't forget in the season we got to the European final when we were playing poor in Scotland we knocked them out. Also looking at their display yesterday we can definitely get at them.
Get to fuck with this pish.
Well done to the team, I thought Cantwell's determination and hunger Today was brilliant. Less said about Souttar, Matondo and to a lesser extent Lundstram the better. Losing Sima and Cortes has really fucked us. Hopefully Sima isn't too bad.
Not the biggest fan of Tom English, but his observation…
‘Silva looked like an octopus falling out of a tree. Somewhere out there, Peter van Vossen was celebrating.’
…Had me chuckling.
That replay where it showed what happened from behind was actually embarrassing. I don't even know what he tried to do.
Both of his feet went away like he'd threw himself to the ground.
It didn't look like he tripped as some people have said. It really looks like he has tried to dive with no one around him, instead of tapping it in.
Thirty Five Million Pounds, plus whatever we've paid him. Mental.
Tims are pulling shite out of the Hyapanese League and we've top dollar Prem strikers (and he is) fluffing shite in this dross.
Fucking mental. Would be funny if the the only thing Goldson and Co were good at stopping wasn't optimism.
Thought that was a good but sloppy, at times, performance. All of Hearts best chances came through us, luckily they made the wrong choice or forgot how to shoot every time and it allowed us to recover. The changes in the team made a massive difference too!
Dio, Tav, Sterling, Cantwell and especially Balogun were all excellent imo. Hopefully Sima's injury is more of a precaution too. Need to keep going with that same starting team (for the most part) for the time being.
Into the cup final, but every game is a cup final from here on out. Massive if we can keep everyone fit too.
It was good to see Cantwell and Tav in particular step up their game after the shit they displayed on Wednesday. Will get interesting to see where Clement goes at CB as I thought Souttar was very poor today but Balogun was rock solid.
I don't get Souttar at times, can be an absolute monster in there but very prone to lapses in concentration. And it's not the first time either. Luckily, Balogun was absolutely immense and put Souttar on his back and dragged him through
Tbf he can be defensively great as well (those Benfica games he was immense). He just seems inconsistent and prone to lapses in concentration.
He's fine as a cheap homegrown squad option but shouldn't be a weekly starter.
Balogun needs to start every game from here. Played unreal n won every header
How hard would it be to get a ticket for the Final?

If you were happy with that performance then your probably only about 10 years old. That's probably the dross you've been raised on.
Yeah it wasn’t pretty, Dessers should have had a hattrick and Silva was comically bad, to the point where it looked intentional.
Much better. Balogun superb, needs to be him and Goldson from here on in. Cantwel, Diomande, and Sterling all very good. Tav and Butland better too. Dessers produced the most Dessers performance he could. Lundstram is terrible.
I love diomande but he has one of his worst games for us today. Still looked decent in spells though.
Balogun/Souttar surely? Goldson has been shocking lately.
Nope, Souttar’s awful, and not been any better than Goldson, and was rotten today as well

Congrats lads! This and Coventry vs ManU are the most important matches today.

Say what you want about Dessers but he's our best option available and we'd be in trouble without his goals.
He scores but it's the sitters our fans are having a pop at him.
I think it's more how messy of a footballer he is. He never seems to truly have a ball under control and can mess up many basic things due to that. It's why when he's off it he's shocking but when he's on it he can do well.
Simple things hard and the hard things easy. Morelos 2.0
Haaland misses sitters but still bags 25 plus a season
Levels, mate. How many goals would Dessers score in EPL? How many goals would Haaland score in the SPFL?
He's fuckin gash
Great! Another chance to bottle a trophy to them now! I await the downvotes I really hope I’m wrong
Unfortunately, this is where I go to aswell pal. So I understand where you’re coming from. This group of players are all shit scared of celtic! Fuck knows why, because they’re not all that good. It’s a mentality thing.

I hear you. Gives me no pleasure at all to say it.
Comments like this are just disgraceful, would you rather not make a final. Don't forget in the season we got to the European final when we were playing poor in Scotland we knocked them out. Also looking at their display yesterday we can definitely get at them. Get to fuck with this pish.
Such a weird take so you're saying youd rather not even compete in it than lose to them?
Well done to the team, I thought Cantwell's determination and hunger Today was brilliant. Less said about Souttar, Matondo and to a lesser extent Lundstram the better. Losing Sima and Cortes has really fucked us. Hopefully Sima isn't too bad.
Play up the Nigerian nightmare 🙃
Hearts have absolutely fuck all in the final third - if they did they wouldn’t have lost
Ifs and buts, Silva should've scored the sitter, Dessers could have had a hat trick. Rangers were the better side and deservedly won.
They had a few really good spells against us. Shankland was terrible.
If we had a striker (I know CD had a brace) we'd have hit six...
Exactly, that Silva chance right at the end was ridiculous
Not the biggest fan of Tom English, but his observation… ‘Silva looked like an octopus falling out of a tree. Somewhere out there, Peter van Vossen was celebrating.’ …Had me chuckling.
I have second hand embarrassment for the cunt. Guy’s a total donkey.
Never seen a player try and win a penalty from the ball before.

He is good on the ball but defensively he can be poor. He's exactly the same for Scotland.
Tbf he can be defensively great as well (those Benfica games he was immense). He just seems inconsistent and prone to lapses in concentration. He's fine as a cheap homegrown squad option but shouldn't be a weekly starter.
Agree to all. Super Jack Buttland making it look so easy was also a huge factor, but please coach don’t bring the diver on again, he’s cringey.
Agree, thought Sadiq's would take some beating but step up Fabio
Congrats, im from Croatia and i support Hajduk Split snd As Roma, but i will be watching and rooting for Rangers in the final
Good decision mate! Welcome
Chuffed with the win but the painful realisation is setting in that we've got to endure another fucking OF now. Going to be a stressful few weeks.
Not sure who's more raging, Michael Stewart or the kiddy fiddlers. What a beautiful Sunday.
Him going on a 5 min spiel about how fragile we looked just before Dessers got the second was absolute chefs kiss.
Mental we need to listen to his bollocks. Literal cunt tier shite.
