Another example of Scotland's secret shame. Twice postponed match. |

16/02/2014 Anthony Stokes hat-trick. First start for Leigh Griffiths. Fraser Forster equaled Bobby Clark's record (1970/71) of 12 league shut-outs in a row and set a new club record (no league goal conceded in 1,125 minutes). This also beats Chris Woods' record of 1,096 minutes set playing for the original Rangers FC during the 1986/87 season. The next target for Neil Lennon's stingy defence will be the British record of 1,311 minutes set by Edwin Van Der Sar for Manchester Utd in 2008/09 season. God willing and providing no goals are lost against Hearts and Aberdeen in the next two games, that will be Inverness at Celtic Park on the 1st of March. |
