    A draw builds them up more and we would take a hit from that kind of result.

    See considering a lot of us are as pessimistic heading into a derby as we have been in a long time, how do you guys think the pattern of play will go?

    You think we’ll dominate with the Huns looking threatening in the counter? Will they dominate the ball more than we would like?

    What we thinking at the mo?

    Pen to rangers and a red card for celtic, i have little doubt when it matters we will get screwed by the ref and this season it really matters.
    Im glad i will miss half the game,dont think its going to be a good game to watch. feeling bit down about it if im honest.

    The more I have thought about it the less worried I have become. Crazy if we win itll be the first time this season we've won 3 games in a row.

    I think they'll smell blood and be wanting to go for it but it wouldn't be wild to sit in and do what the rest do. Frustrate, waste time, play for set pieces- where we struggle.

    We are fotunate their game was postponed and weve been due some luck. Those games in hand could be made a lot more tricky if they pile up along with euro games. Hopefully drop points along those.

    A draw isn't great but it is significantly better than a defeat.

    A draw and they’ll be dancing around Celtic Park like champions.

    Nothing other than a win is acceptable

    McGregor, O'Riley Palma, Kyogo are all clearly better than anything they have.. they turn up we win..

    Butland and Sima are probably the only 2 I'd take from their squad..

    I get we haven't been great, but Rodgers is excellent and managing the big occasions too..

    I'm not angling for a draw.

    Imo this is a must-win game.

    Defeat is unthinkable.

    But if it is a draw, it is not fatal, though it's not great either as we'd eventually be 2nd.

    Not aimed at you or anything mate, just a reply to the general discussion over a draw.

    For me a draw will feel like a defeat.

    Need to end this jammy *’s unbeaten run

    The amount of pessimism doing the rounds is so * cringe.

    We are likely to come out the traps quick and fast with the atmosphere behind us. If we do we score.

    And let’s look at that betis game in isolation …… how many times was the keeper beat and they were saved by frame of the goal 4 * times and betis should have had 2 penalties aswell yeh they set up right in Europe but they were * lucky aswell

    And then look at the amount on f decision on the league aswell which saved their bacon

    If we play at pace and a high press then we win. Sadly all to often this season it’s been slow tippy tappy crab fitba. Those * will cheat and dive for free kicks and penalties. Walsh will give them the majority of the decisions. We need to be right at these * from the start. Get an early goal and they will hopefully crumble. I have a feeling they will sit in and try and hit us on the break. We need to be strong mentally and not be bullied by these *. I want to see the smile wiped from that gormless looking lurch *’s mush.

    I’d like to see Bernardo playing the sitting role and McGregor and oreilly pushing on , can I’m torn between the 3 in contention , lagerbielke and Welsh have played in these games so maybe between them two.

    I honesty can’t believe the amount of people saying they would be happy wit a Draw. I’d be mortified leaving Celtic park tomorrow with a draw. Despite our injuries we are still miles better than them. 3-1 to the good guys.

    I dunno, you're putting an awful lot of effort into finding ways to explain away their results so you can argue that they are a poor side and I don't really see what the payoff is for you. You do you; but when I look at their results, I don't see an obviously poor side and when I look at our squad, I don't see an obviously superior set of players.

    It's pretty testable, though. If you are right; we can just rock up and beat them pretty comfortably. If I'm right, this will be a pretty tight game that could go either way depending on how we perform on the day.

    Tomorrow is going to be a win and I think whilst they might start convincing, the win will be convincingly ours once we get that first goal in and break them down....Going to set us up going forwards.
