I was annoyed about last night, but I don't consider Celtic to be playing in the same competition as us. It's like watching a heavyweight boxer fight a middleweight who has one hand tied behind his back. They don't deserve any credit for beating us given the lack of financial parity (e.g. their ability to sign our best player and leave him to rot on their bench) and now we've got it out of the way we can get back to watching proper football between two teams that are on a semi-level playing field.
