    If we get this right we could do an absolute number on them here..

    Keep the foot on the gas and go right at them. No sloppy defending after ww go infront or sitting back second half etc..

    If the season so far is anything to go by, we won't make this simple. But even when we play badly we still seem to control these games.

    Only real worry is if Sima gets back from injury. Him running at the left side of our defense with his pace would give us lots of problems

    Less confident about this than I was about the Parkhead home game. It’ll be super tight I reckon.

    One last push should see us get it over the line though. By hook or by crook.

    We will likely start with the same team as the last game against them.

    I think they will try change their line up a bit for this one depending whose fit Yilmaz will be back in at left back who is decent going forward but doesn’t offer much protection to his defence. The centre back pairing is going to be interesting. In midfield they will likely try put Sterling in there with Diomande and Cantwell. Or he might try be more solid and play Raskin, Sterling with Diomande pushed on.

    I doubt Sima will be fit enough to start, even if he is not sure how fit he will be. McAusland will likely get a start on the right and Silva on the left. Sima to come on.

    If they line up like above I think they will be more of a threat going forward and leave less space in midfield but more open at the back. So it will be about us playing through there midfield and watching for the counter attack.

    Hoping to see us play like first half vs them in either of the last two games or the game vs Killie. We do that we will have too much for them.

    They're a sick, twisted and disturbing bunch who spur each other on to greater levels of toxic thinking, mate

    I've seen it over there a couple of times, mate, and you just know they entertain the notion that he could be a suspect lol.

    Probably a waste of time pointing out to them that Brother Walfrid was in Glasgow when the Ripper murders were going on, and in London after they had stopped.

    For the love of *....Put around 5 by them and finish them off ffs.

    * sick to death of hearing how close they are beehind us when in nearly all these games we should have been around 4 goals in the 1st half alone.

    Put them back in that box and move on.

    Would be nice, especially for a cup final. To murder them by 5 or 6.

    We've been in positions in previous games where we could have done that, but lacked that little bit of composure and clinical edge.

    Would be perfect timing if that all clicked however for the cup final

    Sima v Taylor is definitely a bad match up for us.

    Think this will be a tight one again. No question we come into the game full of confidence and in our best form of the season and have to be favourites. But we also have not yet been able to put in a complete game against them where we have played well for the whole or close to whole game and thats why the last 3 league derby's were close matches. One of our biggest weaknesses this season has been defending the back post in the air and that is a route that matches up well for what they do. We have in fairness defended set pieces pretty well against them recently which again is one of their strengths. If we can deal with their aerial threat and set pieces that would put us in a really good position but we have to find a way to produce a 90 minute performance next weekend rather then the really good half's we have recently.

    Can see Baldermort play players not fit in a desperate attempt to beat us and it going against him

    I would imagine he'll be playing anyone who isn't in a wheelchair.

    Sima is nailed on to start. He will more likely be completely useless or break down in the game due to being rushed back.

    Clement won't care though as he's not his player and will do anything to change it up a bit.

    Yilmaz will be thrown in, too. He was apparently weak for two of the three goals against Hearts. They'll play him as they have no other options there.

    Sterling will play as he has been they hordes think he's been their best player over the last couple of months even though he's done nothing.

    Cantwell is nailed on to start as well as he scored a few recently. Exactly what we saw with Lawrence. We all know how Cantwell is completely nonexistent in these fixtures.

    I wouldn't be surprised to see Lundstram come back in. Hope he gets a warm welcome.

    Honestly think we could smash them. Start properly and take our chances early doors and it could be anything. They're a * mess.

    4-0

    I think the final settled team just about picks itself:

    Hart
    AJ - CCV - Scales - Taylor
    Hatate - McGregor
    MOR
    Forrest - Kyogo - Maeda

    Bench: Bain, Nawrocki, Ralston, Iwata, Bernado, Kuhn,
    Palma, Idah​
