    Not long now. I dont really think anyone can predict who Mowbray will play. I am hoping Robson plays instead of N'guemo. I think he is a really good player but maybe slightly risky playing in an old firm game compared to Robson who i think plays very well in these games. Then again N'guemo has been very good lately and has liked a good tackle. The other major decision he will have to make is who to play at centre back. Mc Manus Cladwell and Loovens. Could be any of them. I think we will get an indication after the Vienna game. Although here what i think he should play.:shamrock:

    GK. Boruc
    DF. Hinkel
    DF. Loovens
    DF. McManus
    DF. Fox
    MF. Mcgeady
    MF. Robson
    MF. Brown
    MF. Maloney
    ST. Mcdonald
    ST. Samaras.

    What do you all think? I would leave a score prediction like i usually do but i hionestly wouldent like to say who will win this one.:shamrock:

    I think the rapid game will influence the old firm so much. The result will matter a lot on the confidence of the players on Sunday. I entirely agree with you on everything!

    I can see Rangers going 4-5-1 in this 1, & we might match up..

    So both sides:

    Rangers:
    1.McGregor

    16.Whitakker, 24.Bougherra, 3.Weir(c), 5.Papac

    7.Davis, 4.Mendes, 8.Thomson, 6.McCulloch, 11.Rothen

    18.Miller

    Celtic:
    1.Boruc

    2.Hinkel, 22.Loovens, 4.McManus(c), 11.Fox

    46.McGeady, 8.S.Brown, 6.N'Guemo, 19.Robson, 13.Maloney

    9.Samaras

    If we go 4-4-2 then proberly Robson will drop to the bench & McDonald would come in, but I have to say if we do play 4-5-1 I'd say we have more movement in our midfield than Rangers do, so lets hope we could take advantage of that :50:

    This is going to be a tight one!!!

    I think that we might go 4-5-1 with Sammy leading the line TBH.... I cant really see McCourt starting the game as I dont think that Mogga thinks he can last 90 mins at that pace....

    Like the setup with McGeady playing off Skippy, however, starting to lose patience with Maloney on the left and his terrible corners!

    I think that the 2 big areas and selections for Mogga will be the 2 central positions in midfield and defence. Personally i would like to see McManus/Loovens..as Mick has been decent since coming back and he is the captain and knows what this means and big Glenn has been solid not just this season but everytime he plays them he gets the finger out. In the middle id like Crosas/N'Guemo but if Robson is in for Crosas i wont be too bothered as he is a big game player. Samaras and Skippy up front.

    Boruc
    Hinkel Caldwell Loovens Fox
    Maloney Brown Robson* McGeady
    McDonald Killen

    nguemo on for robson at half time depending on whether he plays good or not.

    this game is huge, if we win, more than likely Rangers drop to 3rd or even 4th and we go 7 points clear
    if we lose.. we're only 1 point clear and its game on again.
    If we draw. meh. ok result, not too bad, not too good.

    MON EH * HOOPS! 2-0!

    there is a few reasons why we shouldnt start Robson instead of N'Gumeo...

    1. Robson will not be match fit, and shudnt be chucked into the biggest game so far of the season.

    2. N'Guemo is far better :icon_mrgreen:

    i dont see a reason to change a winning team, bringing in someone who hasent played yet is a big risk.

    my selection would be this....

    .............Boruc
    hinkle loovens mcmanus fox

    mccourt n'guemo brown mcgeady

    ..................maloney
    ............sammy
