    Doesn’t matter man. The real world for me is that I’ll have to listen to constant * from Huns about how we canny beat them. Which, if we fail to do it this time, is becoming difficult to argue against in recent times. 3 derby defeats in a row is poor and shouldn’t be underestimated.

    Yes we have the last laugh in winning the trophies and the Huns are constantly envious of us. But to lose 3 consecutive games to them given how dominant we’re supposed to be? They’ll be singing from the rooftops about it and I for one, and I’m sure many other Celtic fans agree, cannot be arsed with that pish in the slightest

    Yeah, I can understand that point of view.

    I don't know, man. It just doesn't bother me. Nothing they do really bothers me unless they win a trophy we could have wo like in the Covid year; but I haven't lived in Scotland for a quarter of a century, so it's different for me.

    We need to win the midfield battle and be more physical, it’s as simple as that. The last two or three games now Raskin and Diomande have the beating of our midfield because they are industrious.

    Engels specifically needs to do more work defensively and impose himself and we can’t allow cheap turnovers and expose mcgregor who will be our deepest lying midfielder. Too often Hatate and Engels are caught high up.

    worried about the physicality aspect

    but i think if our players are up for it and dont * the bed then we can scud them

    maeda back to his best position at left wing is good as that last game he wasnt as effective as he is out wide against them

    big idah looks to be coming on to a game about * time i think, and khun if we provide him the ball in good positions will rip it up if he doesnt forrest has looked pretty good the last wee while and id be jumping about and happy as * if he gets his goal on sunday.

    start the game quick dont start the game being possession minded thats what weve tried to do on the last 3 games against them and they just press us better than anyone else in the league and we dont handle it well.

    get the ball and play it through the midfield quick and we need the movement to be good, play like we know we can none of this possession for possession sake side to side to back to side *

    we can do that * when were 4 nil up and get a few of the hun * sent off for dangerous tackles but not early in the game cause theyll get the benefit of the doubt of any 50/50s

    Think the fact big CCV is back on form and has Scales back next to him will make a big difference. As long as the midfield are always looking for space to receive the ball and keep it moving, they'll not get anywhere near us.

    We really NEED a good performance this time and I think we'll get it.

    We've got to set the bar once more and leave them in no doubt who the boss is in this town. Dirty Govan tinky pot licking *.

    Time for a skelping me thinks. Just so they know their place before the walks start.

    Still wouldn't play calmac though. It has already been declared what the rangers manager's tactics will be if mcgregor plays. And Brendan should tell the media the exact reason that he is not playing

    Assuming Jota and Yang are out both Bonnar and Kenny will likely make the bench, good chance to see how they handle the occasion.

    Obviously want us to win but I have honestly never been less arsed about a game against that lot.

    League is won. Treble is on. Still plenty of time to get some more records

    I wonder if we'll play Hatate deeper beside McGregor. After the last hun game when many thought thats what we should do, we did it in the next game against Hearts although haven't done it against since but why would we test it out in a game if we're not planning to do it.

    I think Celtic should set up against Rangers, like they did against Atalanta and Aston Villa, that is, defensively compact, with an extra man in midfield, and hit Rangers hard on the break. Bernado would be most suitable for the midfield. Long balls over the top of Souttar and Propper will cause them constant trouble. Souttar dithers and dallies on the ball a lot, and can be caught in possession. Use Maeda and Kuhn to expose them on the wings with their electric pace.

    After watching the colts cup final last night that's a worrying prospect and also a perfect reason on why we need to spend in the summer.

    I thought we would have done that in our previous game against them however, we started that game really poorly and allowed the huns to take control. We need to be up for this right from the start as we know they will and hopefully Brendan has drummed that into them. Oh, and no fannying about at the back.

    We should have done that, but apart from that, the referee and VAR guy were utter Orange tossers.They made sure we weren't winning that game at Parkhead. Both Ranger's subs should have been off. They will be out to run right over the top of us at Ibrox, and maim as many of our players as possible,before the Cup Final.
