Peter Martin is joined by Alan Rough, Alex Rae and Tom McManus to pick over a shock Old Firm result: Rangers 3-0 Celtic in the Premier Sports Cup at Ibrox. The panel say Rangers bullied Celtic from start to finish and Derek McInnes got his tactics spot on - but is Celtic's crisis really Martin O'Neill's fault, or has the board failed him? Plus the goalkeeper call that backfired, Aberdeen and Hearts and Hibs through to the semis, Neil McCann under pressure, and all tomorrow's fixtures.
HOW DID RANGERS BULLY CELTIC?
McInnes pushed James Penrose inside to overload the midfield and went man-for-man at the back, Dan Neil scored a brilliant brace and Kevin Kelsy added a peach - the panel break down a dominant, aggressive performance in front of a bouncing Ibrox.
IS CELTIC'S CRISIS O'NEILL'S FAULT OR THE BOARD'S?
A heated debate: was it just team selection (the goalkeeper, Tounekti over Hassan) or something deeper? The panel argue Celtic are no longer a possession team against good sides, the back line is exposed, and Martin O'Neill has been "derailed by the board" and left short of quality.
THE GOALKEEPER, THE SEMIS AND THE REST
The Sam Johnstone call that unravelled (and Alan Rough's Ian Andrews nightmare), Aberdeen and Stephen Robinson through on penalties, Neil McCann under real pressure after Kilmarnock's shocking spot-kicks, the Hearts v Hibs Hampden semi, and predictions for all three fixtures tomorrow night.
