'No spectators in stands - but Celtic had quite a few on pitch'
[BBC] We asked for your views after Rangers put three goals past Celtic to book their place in the Premier Sports Cup semi-finals. Here's what some of you had to say: Paul: Celtic inexplicably didn't turn up for the game and it was another puzzling result for Martin O'Neill to sift through and analyse, wondering what to make of his team's dismal overall performance. All three goals were conceded by abysmally poor marking, and at this level you will be severely punished for it. John: As bad as last season was at times for Celtic fans, the performances against LASK (second half) and Rangers are worse than anything they've seen in years. Similar in the fact that, under pressure, players hid and shrank from the challenge. And, in both games, the team looked clueless in defence and attack. Malcolm: No spectators on the terraces but we had quite a few on the pitch! Too many hiding away from the fight, no passion, no pride. We gave Rangers exactly the game they wanted. I don't think a week is long enough to fix all the problems before we play them again. Bert: Having sold Arne Engels, Daizen Maeda and Reo Hatate, Celtic are trying to tell us the team is stronger. Two crushing defeats in big games prove it's not. Neil: Team selection choices raise concerns. Sebastian Tounekti looks out of his depth. I'm starting to fear Kasper Hogh is not the player we think he is. We were second best. Rangers were up for this game and showed more passion and deserved the win. Liam: This was no surprise to anybody who actually watches football. We lack a system and, vitally, a quality midfield. Wide open the whole game. O'Neill needs to change things to get the best out of what he has.
