Classic Rangers TV

One of the rituals of Celtic winning at Ibrox is to relive the drama with ‘Rangers’ TV.

Some would describe it as the gift that keeps on giving.

It’s a bizarre mix of Arsenal Fan TV and Match of the Day as the commentary team lurch from hysterics to abject despair with the flow of the game.

The first half brought some incredible contrasts as two goals for the home side were greeted like a stoppage time winner away to Partick Thistle but the equalisers were met with near silence.

The panic and despair was summed up perfectly by the co-commentator Shuggie Burns as he shouted: “What’s the goalie doing Tom, what’s the goalie doing Tom,” as Moussa Dembele scored Celtic’s second goal.

Odsonne Edouard’s goal is recognised in typical fashion but the game’s most dramatic moment is also described rather low key.

With the ball falling to Alfredo Morelos three yards from goal the commentary team fall strangely silent before stating ‘and the goalkeeper has gathered it’.

Did that incident fall foul of the Ibrox censor?
