SPFL Huns V Celtic Sunday September 3RD kick off 12PM Sky Sports Football and Celtic TV

He will score now!

 

No doubt. Probably shin one in while chasing his first touch

 

I'd pick Yang over Maeda

 

The only reason Maeda gets a game is for his defensive industry. The boy is murder.

 

Give us a performance Callum. That happens, we win.

 

Absolutely bolloxed here typing this working hard all week and today! and after work today was up to my eyes in it with my bee hives and only got sitting down since 6 this morning. Surprising the game hasn't been on my mind as it usually would in the run up to it but that'll soon change in the morning when I wake up early and straight on the soup. Going to stick just a score on 4-1 and maybe another on 3-2 and 2-1. We aren't leaving ibrox without any points. Form goes out the window in these games. I even expect the Huns to get a red card. They will get to complacent with thinking they always get away with them but not tomorrow.

 

Loving the optimism and by * I hope you are right. Our only saving grace is that Sevco look clueless and Michael Moles hasnt a clue what his best team or set up is. I would take a draw.

 

Napoli been * this half.

Edit: Wrong thread

 

The last few seasons I’ve struggled to sleep the night before the derby because we’ve been favourites by miles, a bit worried in case things don’t go to plan I think. I think I’ll sleep tonight because I have no expectations for tomorrow. They’re * but unfortunately we have a lot of injuries and we are also *. I’d take a draw and move on. My only hope is some * does Cuntwell, I wish Broonie was still playing.

 

Not very confident going into this. Would feel much better if we had CCV and Hatate, but even then we've just looked so disjointed early doors that I'm struggling to be an optimist.

Relying a little in the unknown, with Lagerbielke and Phillips at the back. AJ being back in a big boost but Taylor has been alarmingly poor early doors. Overall I hope their lack of width shows, cause I do worry about Taylor otherwise.

Our midfield has been rather pedestrian and as crap as the huns have looked, Raskin and Cantwell are atleast energetic, something we've missed in Hatates absence. If Calmac can step up we have a chance, no idea who I'd play as the 3rd one in there though, tempted to say Iwata but that seems unlikely. I imagine it'll come too soon for Bernardo and I worry about Holm and Turnbull being bypassed. Holm does have energy but he goes missing in games thus far. I worry we'll lose the midfield battle. Especially if we play traditional fullbacks as they'll effectively have 4 in there.

Kyogo isn't a worry of course, but who to play on the wings is troubling me. Maeda has been gash but generally does a job on Tavernier. Abada does well against them but has also started poorly. I feel with those two we lack creativity and they're generally the ones getting on the end of things. We need a provider which is why I think Yang or even Palma should start. It's early days for both of those and we aren't sure what we're getting yet.

It's going to be tough and whilst we have a good chance it's hard to be confident with such an unsettled team and playing style. Huns are poor, but so are we, or atleast we have been.

We'll see. But I wouldn't be totally dissatisfied with a draw

 

Maeda has done it in more in one game against them. The goal at ipox and it was his reactions that got Jota his winning goal in the cup.

Defensively, I expect him to start, then maybe bring on Palma or Yang in that position when he has tired them out a bit.

 

I want to see the new signings tbh. Chuck them in the deep end and let's see who can swim without armbands.

 

They'll be going for an early goal. If we can play with some sort of confidence on the ball, and even score ourselves, their fans will get on their backs.

 

I've never seen an atmosphere like this going into a hun game. We're doing the huns work for them. Let's get the battle fever on. They're not any great shakes and the pressure is on them!

 

To be fair, there won't be any of us there so the negativity makes not a jot of difference to what happens on the day!

 

Really odd feeling going into this game.
I think we feel a bit deflated due to the injuries/start of the season/transfer window.

The huns seem to be feeling the same, so * knows what is going to happen tomorrow.

I'd take any sort of draw. I'm trying not to be a negative *. Said it before on here, but I really was Mr. Positive. Once I came to terms with Brendan Rodgers coming back, even the first two league games I was more upbeat about the team. But the Killie and St Johnstone games, * me.

Brendan is probably on about 2-3 million quid a year, so he better * do his job and pick 11 players to beat those *. Because let's be honest, Mole Gunnar Solksjaer hasn't got a clue. A rookie manager with a smaller budget and * team.

Should be bread and butter for a manager like Brendan Rodgers.

 

We've got results there, when no one gave us a chance before, and we're in a better position than a lot of those games. Hope Brendan has got a gameplan to expose their full backs.

 

The atmosphere is toxic and if it doesn't clear it will eventually find its way onto the pitch. We need to give Brendan and the team a chance. Let's just all get rooting for them tomorrow. We will all be watching somewhere.

 

Agree with your first point, I think it's because both teams are pish at the moment, and neither set of fans are happy with the transfer business. A very weird vibe going into this game, I'm actually happy it's at Ibrox and not Parkhead, means we have a game to look forward to once we're fully settled.

Usually, I'd say the first game against them can set the tone of the season, but for me, this one isn't the case. A loss isn't the end of the world tomorrow, we'd only be 2 points behind them with players coming back from injury after the break, but a win would do absolute wonders for our morale.
