Celtic v Rangers On 28th Dec

my team based on fitness and availability

Forster
Cha Wanyama Mulgrew Ledley
Brown Ki Kayal Samaras
Stokes Hooper

pity Forrest is struggling cause he'd be perfect to rip them to shreds, Rangers will focus on high cross field passes to Lafferty so Cha, Samaras & Ledley's height will be important on the flanks plus the work rate of Brown. I'd expect stokes and hooper to drag the rangers defenders around the park and tire them out. Lafferty & McCullagh are walking card machines, hopefully we dominate early and we'll see a few yellows dished out to the huns so they'll be threading carefully.
On form and paper we should win, my concerns are Cha in defence and Ki in CM in a 4 man midfield, although this mightnt be a game where we need to win midfield cause the huns will be lumping it forward, once Ki gets on top of davis i think we'll be in charge.
i can see a 2 nil win for us. we'll have a stronger bench to unload, they'll have more plodders.

 

Managed to get a ticket

 

this cant come quick enough

 

I can't wait for this.

 

ps if Weir starts we are sorted, a 40 year old with no match fitness will be torn assunder by Hooper.

 

i'll be gutted if forrest doesn't start. at times he's ripped better defences apart in europe than the huns, although those teams didnt sit back like they might do

 

Cant wait for tomorrow night man, tempted to get pished to make time fly by, but that will just * me up haha

Excited,nervous,agitated are just a few examples of how I feel atm.

 

I know where your coming from,you've just described the way i'm feeling.
I'm going oot wae the Bhoy's at 1pm tha morra for a few drinkypoo's...it's a must! Helps settle the old nerves.
Hopefully i'm frettin' aboot nothing...I'm going for a Celtic win by a couple of goals

 

Beginning to feel a bit nervous about this now that all the excitement of Christmas is over and this is the next big thing on the horizon.

Form goes right out of the window in these games, so their performance on Saturday against St Mirren will by no means reflect the way the approach this tomorrow night.

As always, I'll feel good right up until tomorrow night and then I'll be * myself. Love it and hate it at the same time

 

7:45pm kick-off not 7:30pm.

 

* off that the league has * about with the schedule, doesn't feel right playing the NY OF game on a * Wednesday night!

Don't think Stokes will start, Hooper on his own with Sammy out wide.

Would love to see Wanyama in the middle, but think he'll be used at CB.

Anyway, I'd like to see this, as I doubt Izzy should be risked against the hammer throwers.

Forster

Casually standing outside Celtic park when the players are excellent as usual get in ther cars to go to training and one by one as the turn off kerrydale into London road rip up about 3 gears in gears in 10 seconds lol and hit about 90 Down past turnstiles hahahaha love it, got me weirdly pumped right up even more lol

 

Whats happened to Jamesy?

 

Hamstring. Not sure how bad it is though.

 

Emilio Izaguirre was on the bench for the Christmas Eve victory and he is fit and in contention for the derby game. Anthony Stokes and Adam Matthews are both fit and available for selection.

Georgios Samaras should also be okay for the game, having been suffering from a heavy cold, while James Forrest will be monitored between now and Wednesday night, having coming off just after half-time in the Kilmarnock game with a tight hamstring.

Taken from the official wedsite.

 

how ??
