Shameful Performace By Strachan's Team

What a shocking performance that was today. It is up there with the Artmedia debacle, first Rangers game at Ibroc, and the shocking result in the Scottish Cup. Why does Strachan never learn from his mistakes?

The worst part is that we are now being accused of lying down to Hearts to stop Rangers from qualifying for the Champions League. While in a self-satisfying type of mood it would be humourous to see Hearts qualify over Rangers, the harsh reality is that it will obiterate the European co-efficient because Hearts will crash at the first qualifier.

It might very well be financially rewarding for Celtic to take the full whack, but that is a lesser concern at this time and Celtic's results first, last, and always, must be the key factor.

Don't let any of this end of season gibbersish give justification or excuse to today's result. That team out there had seven felons signed by Gordon Strachan. Some bigots - you know who you are - will still blame the Martin O'Neill glory era for this, but the hard facts are seven of those mugs came from Strachan's very own signing outlay.

We've now not won a single game since the split and we're likely not going to beat any of our remaining opponents. We might have won the league by default but the writing is on the wall, and you simply can't rule out heavy defeats away to Aberdeen, for example, with the sheep clinging to hope more than anything else that they might sneak in - undeservedly - to the UEFA Cup spot by 4th place in the league.
