Celtic v Rangers On 28th Dec

If you don't have a good feeling about this game after eight from eight youre mad

 

Wanyama... so good he can play 2 positions at once!
I'd go with a similar set up, but put Rogne at CB instead of Wanyama and Forrest RM instead of Brown.

 

Aye :icon_mrgreen: Never noticed that haha. Forrest in and Vic to CB.

 

It would be like us to * up are good work.

We all need to get to Parkhead on Wednesday and sing our team to victory.

 

Exactly mate in our 8 win run the Huns have chucked away a lead which in all honesty should never be blown.so I don't see how anyone can't be feeling a bit confident.yes,we were in much the same form as them last new year and turned them over.but the truth is we had the players and we were never as bad as they are now.

I would love an early goal or 2 so we can really party like the 3 nil last season.not a nervy game

 

Usually i'd be skeptical going into these games but not this time, i just dont see where rangers threat will come from.
They'll set up 451 and sit in deep looking to hit us on the break but they have very little pace to do so effectively , aside from wylde who cant cross for * anyway, jelavic will be isolated.
If lenny gets the line up right and doesnt * about trying to fit brown in then we'll win comfortably imo.
Under the lights parkhead will be electric and our players will respond.

Weve fared well against much better teams than rangers this season.

 

If they go 4-5-1 we should match them in my opinion.

 

Forster
Cha Rogne Wilson Mulgrew
Kayal Wanyama Ledley
Forrest Hooper Sammy

 

Do you not think we'd get overrun mate?

 

Screw that, we shouldn't change our style just to suit them.
Their squad isnt good enough to deserve that kind of respect from us.

 

Maybe but the thought of Kayal, Wanyama and Ledley altogether in a midfield is just too good to resist:icon_mrgreen:

 

Double pivot for the win.

 

Worried about Charlie versus Jelavic but i do not fancy Wilson against him either. These are my only worries. We are on a great run right now and I feel that we nedd to win this game but it will not be easy. We were struggling today, up to Sammy getting his goal before the break but we improved in the second half. We need to start better against Rangers and sustain it throughout the 90 minutes. Fans have a massive part to play, really good atmosphere after the 2nd goal and Rangers news today but up until then, I could only hear some defiant songs.

 

Our midfield 4 will destroy their 5 man midfield.we need to beware of an early booking to the likes of kayal and brown

 

^^^^having watched jellyfish in recent weeks I'm not at all worried aslong as we don't give them too many free kicks or corners.if st mirren and ict can shackle him I'm sure we can.in all honesty I would be more worried about facing hooper than him

 

Celtic are evens to win this.

In the words of Richard Baerlein when referring to Shergar "now is the time to bet like men".

Don't get me wrong, I'm always wary of Old Firm Derbies as betting propositions. However, barring outrageous misfortune, everything points to a Celtic victory on Wednesday night.

Hail, hail, fill your boots lads.

 

He was the only person to create anything the entire first half and then was pulled off for a hamstring injury in the beginning of the second. Hooper missed a sitter that was created off of one of forrests rebounds and forrest also came close with a long range shot. imo for the short time he was on the pitch he was one of our better players. Really hope he is fit for the huns as hes one of the only players in our squad who doesnt shy away from taking on his man and we ussually look lost for ideas and narrow without him.

 

Forster
Matthews Wanyama Mulgrew Izaguirre
Brown Kayal Ledley Samaras
Hooper Stokes

* do them Celtic.

Cha Rogne Wanyama Mulgrew

as long as brown and wilson dont start I am confident of a win or at least a point
