What did everyone think of the first game in charge for Burley?

Although we rode our luck at times, I thought we gave a decent account of ourselves. Would have liked to have seen both Miller and Boyd up front for longer though.

What about all the call offs? It is pretty understandable when you have got an important, potentially title decider 4 days later, but does this not devalue the honour of playing for your country? Surely this should be the pinnacle of a professional's career, or am I living firmly in the past?

Burley seemed to think that some of tye rangers players wouldnt be fit for saturday, I htin he was misled.

Actually, when you look at it, international appearances mean that most of the celtic team have played as many games this season as Rangers, who have far less international players in the first team.

Cant understand the robson situation though and I look forward to burley's explanation.

Overall I was pleased with the game and think we have a good squad and a good manager.

I felt we played reasonably well at times of the game, first half was a good open match and I'd say both teams were reasonably equal although the second half with all the subbies it had the feel of a testimonial friendly match but i'd give Burley at 7out of 10 so far for his start
