Quick Review

One to forget. First half was very equal, but the Huns were far better for much of the second half and we were never in it being our own worst enemies.

Trivia

• Kenny Miller's scores a double against us, his first goals for Rangers and his first game v Celtic since his return there.
• Lennon attacked later that night (Link)
• Boruc in more trouble (see below).
• JVoH sent off after being on the pitch for only 2 mins!!!! A straight red after a few mins when the Huns were down to 10men themselves.
• Rangers first time they've scored 4 at Parkhead since the infamous New years game in 1994.

Front Page Headline: "He's At It Again"
Front page quote: "Artur Boruc sparks another Old Firm flashpoint - as he gives Rangers fans a one-fingered salute yesterday. The controversial Pole made the obscene gesture when he was taunted..."
Two-page spread on pages four and five -
Side-bar with various witty captions and pictures of Boruc above them include... "Pope On A Dope", "Make 'Em Cross" etc., etc.
John Macmillan, general secretary of the RSA (and who didn't even see the gesture incidentally, said): "I often keep an eye on him because I am often asked to comment on something he has done. If that is the case, it is way over the top now. Something has to be done."
Apparently cops are looking into the incident, as well as several others, including a missile being thrown at the Rangers dug-out (news to me indeed).
Hoops' fan chief Tommy Dornan said: "The Rangers fan hounded him from start to finish."
Page 8 Editorial comment says: "Artur Boruc is in danger of becoming the laughing stock of Scottish football. He earned a police caution at Ibrox three years ago for offensive gestures he made before blessing himself. If he can't control himself, then his club must."

Bill Leckie: "Holy Goalie lives by the sneer, here he died by it. He'll be ashamed yet again to pick up the papers this morning and see himself acting like a ned."
Oh aye, and Leckie says Wattie's a genius. And a picture of Kenny Miller patting the Rangers badge on his chest. Bless.
