Never in my life have I heard or seen such a one sided programme of punditry.
It was absolutely dreadful so much so that you would think Rangers where playing Rangers.
Comments from 'Hibs setting up not to get beat here' to the 10 mins of waxing lyrical about the threat David Templeton will add BEFORE coming on and doing hee haw in the end.
The countless shots of The Rangers support (that where there) then the drivel at the end of the game from 4 bells trying not to say 'Aye it was a clear Penalty'
Stubbs was a class act at the end but Fat Swally wouldnt come out to face his 'pals'
Hibs leathered Rangers and there was nothing lucky or fortunate about it. Well done Stubbsy nothing short of what you deserve.

If BT want to do one sided coverage then that's fair enough - it's their business. Different if the BBC do it.

Just before kick off a split second cut to a drummer with the no surrender tshirt.

They just couldn't believe that Hibs had won tho. They just kept on going about it.
I actually thought they were fairly honest with the penalty and possible red card decisions. 3 of them said it was a certain pen and a red to both. Only TheRangers player Kenny Miller said it wasnt a pen or red cards.

Firstly I am very glad that BT Sport covered the match otherwise I would't have seen it..so that was good. Secondly Stuart Lovell was pretty fair throughout.
However…having a current rangers player on the pundit team is just ludicrous !!! how can you have a player from one of the teams as part of the commentary..in the end it came back to bite them as poor wee Kenny Miller looked totally embarrassed having to slag of his team mates and the whole thing was beyond awkward.
Listening to the commentary for Rangers v Hibs was very much like listening to Rangers playing a European side. The focus was ALWAYS on Rangers..what they did well..what they did badly..how they can make changes in the 2nd half..a few grudging comments of respect about the funny foreign team that they don't know much about..then back to Rangers again. It really was like watching Rangers TV…oh well they can talk all they like….we still stuffed them

It's the just the age old mindset that when one the Old Firm are playing, the opposition are there to make up the numbers. Everything is viewed from a Rangers/Celtic perspective and whether the result/performance was good or bad for them.

In an article in the Daily Mail decrying the Ryder Cup the writer said what people in Scotland really wanted was Celtic versus Rangers for real passion!Obviously he felt let down at the lack of the Sash or Derry's Walls at Gleneagles.Similarly at the beginning of the season the Glesca Meeja were all making Clyde favourite for promotion just because Ferguson had taken over-echoed by the BBC of course.

They actually gave Miller an extra 30 seconds to get Boyd off the hook for his head thrust/butt.
Headbutts don't count if the heads are nearly touching he said.
No kenny Miller and BT sports.What you mean is headbutts don't count if it's a rangers player doing the butting.

I'm not so bothered bout BT Sport tbh. Craigan , whose an arse, was actually not too bad and Milker did say we were the best team they had played against.
I'd rather have BT Than those ****ing roasters on Sportsound....... Who will be absolutely spewing at our result last night.

Btw, one of those plums said (pre-match) that 'Super-Salary' was 'unbeaten against Hibs in 5 games' - surely that's wrong ?

The programme is set up for a Rangers win, that's the flaw here. The "coverage" at Starks when they played Raith a few weeks back went bang to script as they won handsomely and fat Ally even came out after game and was "interviewed" by panel pitchside....cheeky chappy Ally was there for all to see after such a win which meant he could say things like "aye we were right good tonight" "and "Boydy has that in his locker" and "wee Blacky got right involved" and "Big Lee gives you that commitment" basically the usual pash you'd expect from an amateur Manager.
If they lose then let them awkwardly stumble through the post match analysis, it's funny to watch.

Tuned in to the last 10 minutes of Sportsound, which basically consisted of a single uninterrupted lament from Chic Young on the depths to which The Rangers had now fallen. For a St Mirren fan he appeared somewhat upset at the state The Rangers found themselves in. Barely a mention of the opposition at all in that last 10 minute segment.

Not BT sport but one of the commentators on sportsound, Derek Ferguson I think, said at one point "Rangers are starting to knock the ball around a lot better now... Really pleasing to watch."
Impartial as ever our BBC!!!

In the build-up, the BT presenter, Darrell Currie (?) was walking down the touchline in the half The Rangers were warming up in and commented on them practicing shooting and with a completely straight face said something along the lines of "Let's hope they're accurate in the match".
There's only one thing better than a Hibs calendar and that's two Hibs calendars

I've got to be honest and say Stephen craigen aside I normally don't mind the BT sport coverage but last night's programme was scandalous.
Everything seemed to be pro-Rangers and anti-Hibs. Derek Rae who is normally quite decent would've be less biased if he just came out and said "come on a Rangers". The examples that come to mind were talking about Ian Black's terrific record v Hibs whilst with Hearts. This is only half the story as there was no mention of Black's less impressive record v a Hibs with Inverness,
Rae also seemed to take great delight in telling the audience which Hibs players grew up Rangers fans and who they went to the games with as a boy, he even mention McGeouch who was even playing.
I actually thought the only pundit to take any credit last night was Kenny Miller who was brutally honest about his own teams failing and complimentary about Hibs at the same time.
