Difficult to see how that spin can be put on the game. Heading should be 'Obligatory Old Firm penalty allows Rangers to rescue game.'

Yeah. My thoughts exactly

A 2 goal lead after 45 minutes had us strong favourites to win but the weak start to the second half undid the great performance in the first. We've seen it all too often.

Schoolboy patter.

Firstly, we had our own soft penalty award in the first half to give us the first of our two goal lead.

Secondly, their soft penalty award only allowed them to pull it back to 2-1, we still had the lead at this point. We didn't fail to win because of 'a regulation Old Firm penalty' we failed to win because yet AGAIN we failed to turn up for the start of a second half, allowed the opposition back into it by standing off them and gave Jamie Murphy the freedom of Fir Park to drift in from wide unchallenged and pick his spot in the corner.
