    CCV has never lost to them in 90mins.

    I love the narrative of their injuries have been horrific this season... Conveniently forgetting about our own injuries. I think the Hearts game was the first time this season where we named the same starting xi from the previous games.

    They forget our defence at Ibrox in September...

    To be fair there are a lot of fellow Celts thinking we will win easily and just thrash them tomorrow. I don't see that happening at all. We are going to need to play very well and do so for the 90 minutes as VAR/ref will be a big leveler and while yes I firmly believe we have a better team and are in a good place heading into this game tomorrow I just do not see this being easy game in any way shape or form.

    I don't think people think it'll be easy.

    I think everyone is going off of our current form, their form, at Celtic Park, no huns in the stands, they've got injuries, us back to full strength, they need to win.

    It definitely has the potential for a hammering. Unlikely, but possible.

    Overconfidence is the enemy, play like we are 3 points behind and we'll be just fine.

    Obviously I would be over the moon if that is what happens. There is no question either that we go into this game in a very good place with every reason to feel very good about where we are at and how we are playing. I just don't see this though as being anything other then a really tough game. We were in a pretty similar place confidence wise this time last season and no away fans etc and that game we won but 3-2 is tight. Personally my big worry is VAR and or the ref swinging things their way because lets face it for all the faults we have had this season ultimately the only reason things are close heading into tomorrows game is what VAR/refs have done in their favour over the season to date.

    Nervous now. This is massive. A good start and we should do it. Don’t have many worries about our midfield but 3 out of our 4 defenders do concern me tbh. Feed Kyogo and he will score. Would * love it we tattooed them but any win will do.

    Just a Huge Huge game! As big as it can possibly get. The riches of the Champions League next year, coupled with the doubts of future automatic qualification pretty much means the winner this year will dominate for years to come
    This time tomorrow could be such an incredible feeling

    Not with our board. We'll have a £120m in the bank and we'll still try to keep the 'duopoly' alive..for the 'business plan' lol

    I think the previous games were pretty much 50/50. There didn't seem to be much between the teams. Hopefully, home advantage and finally having everyone fit means this one is more like 60/40 to us; but that still means that plain luck can play a big role.

    We will still target £2 million signings even having £120 million in the bank and when is the club going to start progressing especially for europe.

    No more sleeps for me... its game day now:BR1:

    Not really that nervous because our form looks good and our team is good enough to beat this hun mob if we turn up. Its a derby so anything can happen but if we stay disciplined and play with the tempo we did last week it should be 3 points..
