this?

and should not have too many fears over Rangers 

dont be so silly, Rangers are still the best team in Scotland and will play
a good flowing game of football if Celtic dont sit back and try to win through
poaching a goal.

Celtic have a stronger understanding of what? Because they have 1 resonable
result does'nt make them a good team. I sat and watch Rangers last seasion
beating teams EVERY week while Celtic were in a shit hole unable to get
points of the most crapy teams.

Nobody wins with ease against Rangers
