[Official TC Thread] Celtic v The rangers semi final sun 23rd Oct

Think it'll be closer than the game at Celtic Park. Their midfield will be far more energetic this time around, and the fact that Bitton will probably play...that doesn't fill me with confidence. Don't like it being this weekend after tonight's match, the players will probably be feeling tired.

If we play the way we have been doing in the league, we'll win by a couple. Hopefully the players are out to prove a point after tonight's result.

 

I'm nervous for this simply because it's at Hampden.

Literally no other reason.

I'd rather play them at Ibrox than at the national stadium, as our record there in the past 5-6 years is rather abysmal. Obviously we've won a few domestic trophies in that time, but we've also had some real howlers against the likes of Inverness, St Mirren, Ross County and Kilmarnock to name a few.

I think we'll win, but I just hope our players are up for it after a deflating night tonight. It's up to BR to get them raring to go again with only a few days until another big game.

Please, don't play Bitton either. Armstrong should start alongside Rogic.

 

A win'll do. Don't really care how or how much. The honest mistakes and general permitted on-the-park thuggery will cancel out a lot of our superiority. I fart in their general direction.

imo griff needs back in the team, but i would still play dembele.

 

GET INTAE THEM!

 

Yeah, that doesn't help.

 

Not sure of a team at all.

Whatever way we go, as long as we turn up we will win.

Intae them Celtic.

 

Why is one leg at paradise and the other at Hampden?

Confused over the revamp of this competition.

 

Same team only I would have Paddy Roberts instead of Forrest

 

So Forrest has been one of our best players this season and so has rogic but you would drop them both just because we lost to a far superior team?

 

You certainly are confused

 

to freshen things up yes, the same team week in week out can go stale, griff needs back in, and roberts deserves his chance. that ok ??

 

Did we not get beat just before the last hun skelping, infact wasnt that the barca game

I think Rodgers will stick with Forrest, with Roberts coming on in the second half. I'd only start Roberts if Forrest is needing a rest.

Dembele.

Got to play thumb an dembele

 

BR on Forrest reminds me of Moyes with Phil Neville. Or Martinez with Gareth Barry. There darling player and teachers pet.

Not so long ago James Forrest was crap for many fans who deserved to be shown the door and was arrogantly not interested in a new contract. Now he is better than a player Man City see as a top prospect.

Brendan really needs to get tougher on both of them for these players to reach their potential.

 

It isn't its at Hampden

 

I've said it for ages that in general we must play 442.

 

@Tim-Time 1888 I think i've just won idiot of the day award.

Why have 2 legs at neutral stadium? Bizarre.

 

Why does Griffiths need back in if we have been winning games? And why does Roberts deserve his chance over Forrest who in my opinion should have been man of the match last Saturday?
