Would just have loved to seen Lennon's face at the final whistle tonight, as he handed the SPL Trophy to Rangers.

He did a great Wenger impression - kicking an invisible water bottle when they were denied a second penalty (blatant dive) in the 4th minute of injury time.

[FiNeRaIn]

Celtic never cheat.... horrendous dive.

Lmao at TLB's reaction at the end.

Not just Celtic, gr8 m8 - Rangers also brought theirs forward a couple of weeks ago in order to avoid a CL clash. But don't let that ruin your fun

IIRC, one Celtic or Rangers game recently (possibly at St Johnstone) had to be halted whilst officials cleared a number of footballs from the pitch that had been thrown on in protest by the home supporters at the moved kick off time

[weybridgewanderer]

That was their celtic game

Apparently televised ties are not allowed to clash with UEFA champions league games so in order for the games to be televised kick offs have been set for 6pm

All these 6pm games are games that were due to be played on Saturdays/Sundays earlier in the season

Yup - looks even worse on the replay. Wonder why Lennon wasn't cautioned for such petulance.

Really, is there actually a law against it?

televised ties, not allowed to clash with UEFA champs league

you can have a game at the same time but appearntly its not allowed to be televised

I guess its not against the law, in that the police will not arrest you and put you in jail, so no, I doubt there is a law against it.

Bit like UK TV companies televising Saturday 3pm games, its not allowed.

Undoubtedly. Dirk will probably be able to confirm this but it probably falls under the same law that states no 3pm Saturday kick-offs can be televised.

Rangers and Celtic will both take on St Johnstone in 1800 BST kick-offs The Scottish Premier League has announced its first six o'clock midweek fixtures, involving Celtic and Rangers in games at St Johnstone.

The re-arranged matches have been moved to the earlier time because they are live on television and cannot clash with Champions League coverage.

......

Scottish Premier League secretary Iain Blair told BBC Scotland: "We are not allowed to go ahead-to-head with Uefa club competitions, so that is the principal reason for the two matches kicking off at 6pm.

"I do sympathise with the fans. I know that those who want to attend the matches will not find a 6pm kick-off at all satisfactory.

"I have actually, as part of my communications with Uefa to keep them informed of developments, advised them of the dissatisfaction.

"It is something that we have seen elsewhere in Europe also - my colleagues at the Italian league have had several matches kicking off at similar times of the night, again involving the top clubs.

"It is an issue which we are discussing across at the European leagues, it is an issue we are discussing with Uefa, but I would be misleading you if I suggested that we are likely to see the Uefa restriction being taken away any time soon."

Sorry - I thought this thread was about Celtic.

[T.R.O.L.I.]

That it is - I was merely pointing out that they are not the only club in Scotland to have a kick off time changed enforced on them due to the CL.

Perhaps it would be better if they simply played on a different day. Or we got rid of all telivised football apart from the FA Cup final.

with the end of the season loomimg and the backlog that was in place they have simply "run out" of available days

Or we got rid of all telivised football apart from the FA Cup final.

and the world cup

[Victor Meldrew]

During this season you could have made money by backing whichever of the two had become second favourites during the season as the lead has changed so many times.
Fortunately it looks as though Rangers might now come out on top.
