Much has changed since the first Celtic-Rangers of the season, one that even using arbitration, the Gers are led by 1-3 and it seemed that this year will also serve to win the SPL due to the difficulty of the Bhoys in individual matches. But during the winter market and there was something I did think that the balance was leveled, the 0-2 at Ibrox with Samaras as a hero (a hero which as expected has not come back.) But the twists and turns have been crucial to see how the Scottish Premier League has taken a very greenish color , and why the Old Firm last Sunday belonged to a different fate, that of the Scottish Cup
Celtic presented at Ibrox with his fichajeinvernal, as good as unnecessary Kris Commons of Derby County and came with a goal under his arm the day of its debut. Besides Koreans had returned from the Asia Cup, Hooper had recovered from his injury and his midfield and attack seemed far superior to that of Rangers striker has changed, Kenny Miller, by David Healy still has debuted and El Hadji Diouf who watched their first two games, he will do the hard uphill Scotland.
Despite all this the game started with a goal from the edge of Jamie Ness, a boy of 19 who had only played 8 games with the first team. The goal, remember a lot that achieved last season against Arsenal Danny Rose, for meaning and author. The goal only confirmed what was seen in the opening minutes, and that Celtic had not been aware that the film was because it was about to receive another one seconds later.
But all is calm, the Catholic party took control of the midfield triangle formed Ki, Ledley and Kayal until Commons (two goals in two games put the tables). The feeling of superiority was such that only flashes of Jelavic (one of the branches that hang on the sidewalk Protestant) could avoid a painful comeback. And that was when a back pass to his defense disarmed the weak defense and made the Celtic penalty commit Forster and was ejected just before halftime, something that does not forego Whittaker.
The second part seemed more level (thanks to Lennon's had a player less) and still did not know the premises to keep the lead as a goal by Brown with dedication including Diouf, put the final 2-2 to force the replay, and it could be worse since with the expulsion of Naismith and returned it the same all the sensations of the first half, when they played eleven against eleven.
This seems to be the script for the remaining 4 Old Firms (the Scottish Cup replay of the final of the Co-operative Insurance Cup, plus two SPL) in which a team with much more control in midfield (McCulloch is low key in this, in addition to many quality that is in the Celtic), with a punch (although not "wet" this time, Gary Hooper TOP remains a front for Scotland, as well as Stokes) and only has a weak point of the ago, something the Rangers will not be allowed to operate at all as it is in attack where else has crumbled in recent weeks and where the key appears to be the performance of a Croatian who seems to be the only one capable of doing harm green team, the one that tipped the scales in your favor this winter.
