Match Day: Celtic 2:4 Rangers - The Prodigal Son Returns

matchday Kenny Miller's controversial return to Parkhead ends with the former Celtic striker, now in his second spell at Rangers, scoring twice as he helps his new team beat Celtic 4-2, the first time Rangers have scored this many goals at Parkhead since 1994.


Pedro Mendes added a third and Daniel Cousin, a surprise choice in the Walter Smith's line-up for today's game added another, but, in a scrappy game full of the sort of incident we're used to from these games, is sent off shortly afterwards; Celtics' Jan Vennegoor of Hesselink follows him to the dressing room not long after. Georgios Samaras and Shunsuke Nakamura scored the Hoops' consolation goals. The victory puts Rangers back on top of the SPL, and any talk of a crisis at the club has been firmly put to rest.

    That was dreadful.
    I didnt manage to catch the game, but I'm told we should have been awarded a penalty. I'll have to dig it out on YouTube later or something.

    This result displeases me, and is a temporary blip on what will be another mighty charge to the league title.

    I'm not sure why, but in a way I'm quite glad Rangers won, if only because it'll(hopefully) shut those so-called 'fans' up, the ones cheering along today that a week or two ago where throwing their tickets and scarves onto the pitch. Crisis? What crisis?
