Old Firm Disappointment
With losing 3-2 to Rangers on Sunday Celtic has to wait at least another week before being presented with the trophy.
It was one of the most explosive old firm games of the season with 3 red cards and a booking, two of the red cards being Celtic players. Cha Du Ri and Victor Wanyama were both sent off by referee Calum Murray.
Not only was two of our players sent off but at half time Neil Lennon was also sent to the stands for having words with Calum Murray in the tunnel.
In my opinion I thought the referee was a bit biased and seemed to favour Rangers throughout the game. For instance two of our players were sent off for minor tackles, however when two Rangers players ganged up on Celtic player Emilio Izzaguirre they were let off with a warning.
I wasn't alone in thinking this as many people who came to the No7 restaurant to have food and watch the game were left angry and frustrated. There was the occasional shouting at the screens with my manager joining in.
What makes it worse is a lot of the chefs that work in Celtic support Rangers and boy oh boy did they enjoy rubbing it in everyone's faces.
However, when it came to nearer the end of the game everyones mood lightened up a bit as Celtic seemed to be making a bit of a comeback. One customer said, " I can accept what the score is now".
After the game Neil Lennon was interviewed by a news reported from the BBC. If you want to have a listen go on to http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/17419735
Lets hope next season they will start off the next old firm game with a bang!
