Ahaha, they eventually beat that widely feared Portuguese team, Maritimo, on penalties.

Good stuff.

Prso is about there only decent player

No... I'd say Prso is about the third or fourth best player, after Boumsong, Klos (the best keeper in Britain apart from possibly Cech), and Novo. Prso works hard, and is alright at heading, but his finishing isn't that great, and he lacks pace.

Ahahahahahhahahahhaha.
That's why he's playing for a team that goes to penalties against some Portuguese minnows?
Oh dear.

Well he can hardly sprint up the field and score can he?

If you watched the SPL, you would see he's far more consistent and agile than any keeper in England. Only thing that counts against him is his age.

And there's such a thing called loyalty, you know.

The players in Rangers are technically good, but Alex McLeish is a crap manager.

He had Novo out wide, and Burke playing on the left wing when Prso would have been better off on the left wing, Burke on the right, and Novo playing alongside Thompson.

And the ref was crap.
He carded Malcolm for a fair tackle, and two penalties (they were soft challenges, but still fouls) were declined.
Not to mention the fact that the linesman chopped off a fine goal.

But they won, and it doesn't matter if you beat them 4-2 on penalties, or 10-0 in normal time. A win's a win, which is something Celtic don't seem to be getting in Europe...

Also, just becasue a team did better last season doesn't mean they're not worse this season, there's such a thing as transfers you know, hence why Porto are crpa this season, and Maritimo better (they signed a couple of Porto players).

Which might be because the 2 teams Celtic have played so far have been 2 of the best sides in the World.

Barcelona, with players like Ronaldinho, Deco, Edmilson, Larsson, Gabri, Giuly, Puyol, Gio...
AC with players like, possibly the best striker in Europe at the moment, Shevchenko, Tomasson, Cafu, Gattuso, Inzaghi etc etc etc etc.

Maritimo with, erm.
Yeah.

Doesn't matter. They're still losing.

Just like to point out not all Rangers fans share munn's views...

I think Celtic did admirably against Milan, even if their performance against Barca was poor.
