The Ibrox encounter brought in 1.4million armchair punters and those viewing figures are not to be sniffed at writes Michael Gannon
There was so much going on at Ibrox last Sunday, you half expected a blood-soaked Neil Doncaster to stagger on to the pitch at the end, Gladiator-style.
But now is not the time to stand back and pat ourselves on the back – now is the time to strike while the iron is hot and the temperature is rising. There’s another Old Firm to go and in the next week or so the bigwigs will get the crayons out to do up the post-split calendar. They don’t want celebrating hordes marching through George Square or grumpy losers looking to take out their frustrations on the other lot. We get that. But these are societal problems and we have police forces to deal with them. There is also a decent chance of the Old Firm colliding again in the Scottish Cup Final the following week and they’ll need to get on with it.
This is a game that always delivers. There hasn’t been an Old Firm goalless draw in their last 29 scraps. In fact, there have only been two scoreless stalemates in an incredible 56 games. Liverpool and Manchester United only meet twice a league season and they’ve had four in the same period.
