Celtic V Rangers: Co-Operative Cup Final Thread, Hampden Park, Sunday 15th March

The 2 goals we score on sunday will come from Mcdonald 22 minutes and naka with a beauty in 68 minutes a can see the future ye know :icon_mrgreen:

 

I would go for the same old 4-4-2 which I reckon Strachan will go for. The only question for me is if he will play Crosas or Hartley and I reckon he'll gamble on Crosas, despite his relative inexperience.

Hopefully Kris Boyd plays because he's nothing but a flat-track bully. Does he ever do it against half-decent sides?

 

this is my first final and old firm game and iv been a season ticket holder for celtic for 4 years and am looking forward 2 it and also nervous i couldnt stand seeing their faces if they won it

hopeing this final will be a final il never forget

what is the atmosphere like in old firm games??ano silly question but i want 2 brace myself for it

 

anyone heard a whisper Bobo will start ?

 

Nope

CMs for CIS

What's everyone's opinion on the Central Midfield roles for the CIS Final? I'm having trouble deciding whether Crosas or Hartley would be better fit to sit alongside Broon. Any more news on Robson's fitness and recovery? Heard he's a possibility for Saturday. I know Flood is cup tied. Should McGeady and Naka be shoe-ins for wingers? I know I want Broon to take 1 of the CM roles, but I can't decide between Hartley, Robson (if he makes it back), or Crosas. I think I'm leaning a bit towards Hartley, just because of his physicality and determination, and I wasn't impressed with Crosas' playing against St. Mirren. I think Hartley would be lively and winning balls all over the pitch if he came off the bench to start for the Old Firm Cup Final.

 

Brown and Robson for me.

 

Crosas and Brown

 

I'd go for Robson and Broonie too.

 

This will be pretty much a universal preference i think - nonetheless, i would not be averse to a 4-1-4-1 to fit Crosas in......with Hampden being the size it is, his vision and passing range could prove to be invaluable.

 

Brown and Crosas for me from now on. Crosas' range of passing is vital for us. St Mirren away aside, when Crosas plays Celtic look the business

 

I agree Daver,,even the state the pitch was in for the dundee utd game Crosas was pinging long balls about for fun...

 

4-5-1

the midfield will score

 

brown and crosas. think its about time we try and play football against the huns. with a big pitch crosas could be able to open them up like a tin of beans.

 

Good stuff mate hope you enjoy every minute of it..especially the result.
As for the atmosphere..really it is indescribable. You just have to experience it for yourself.Only bad thing is i fell they pass too quickly
