    Cup final for the hun. A draw is as damaging for them as a defeat and if we get to 20 minutes from time and the game is tight, I’d expect major desperation from them going forward.

    This situation is my only concern as we seem to lose our way later in games versus that lot. Not sure why, fitness or mentality or a bit of both.

    We could capitalise on that scenario with counter attacking but it’s incredibly risky. I’d much rather we have an early commanding lead and show them how champions play football.

    We have home advantage and we’ve been playing much better of late, confidence shouldn’t be a concern.
    My hope is we dominate the ball early in the game and make the most of our chances in the first half.
    The sooner they need to get desperate, the sooner we can retain the ball and tire them out.

    I’ll go 3-0 and send them back to Govan in tears.

    That is my only concern, they know they have to win or the leagues gone , but hopefully that means they will lose their heads and be caught out tactically

    A bit away from princess street but Malones in Edinburgh is unreal for a Glasgow derby, big bit up the stairs used to be a a snooker hall. Full to the brim with tims, you would probably need to get in early tho it gets mobbed

    I am as confident about this game as ever. Gut feeling is that we will smash them to pieces, but in this games you never know. I just can't see us losing it at least.

    Unfortunately we can’t clinch the title against them no matter the score as it would mathematically still be possible for them to catch us even if we beat them 5-0.
    The dietz have clinched 3rd so don’t need to try against them in match against Huns.

    Malones at the West End as well. Probably best shout for atmosphere.

    Do the double this season we equal Deadco/Sevco top flight combined trophy haul.
    Win league next season we overhaul Deadco league trophy haul and combined Deadco/Sevco combined trophy haul.
    So next season we can officially become most successful club in Scottish football history

    Drop Taylor and let Forrest and Maeda go at Tav down that side.

    Can you tell I'm a well seasoned high level manager and tactician in football?

    Genius stuff.

    They'll be missing Sima, Matondo, Goldson, Balogun and Danilo for this game, and Yilmaz won't be 100% fit. It's clear there's some disconnect with Silva as well, telling their fans to shush last weekend.

    We have essentially a full squad available and fully fit.

    I get that these games are never as simple as who's available, but there is absolutely no excuse to be losing this, none.

    You can see the pressure has got to some of them, particularly their captain. He has either sold a goal or a big chance literally every game since we played them. Similar things where he takes a chance on the ball or makes a half hearted effort to make a challenge and gets brushed aside.

    I am not as confident as a lot seem to be for Saturday for two reasons, one is VAR which brought them back into it at Ibrox. The other is just that nervousness we inexplicably switch off like we did vs Aberdeen in the cup. I am hoping the weekends performance is a marker to what is to come but even the first 10 minutes baring our goal Hearts looked like they had a spare man. However, once we got our foot on the ball, we looked very good and need that again.

    If we win, it's done.

    I don't care about technicalities. They would need to win both games, we'd need to lose our two remaining ones and they'd have to over turn a massive goal difference.

    Even a draw and it's done. We'd need to drop points in both of our last two games, they'd need to win both of theirs.

    It's win or bust for them. They can't hide.

    With them throwing everything at us, you'd expect Kyogo and Maeda to get some joy.

    We rarely make an * of it against Rangers when we're this confident.

    Only win I can remember them getting at Parkhead in the last decade was that 2-1 loss in 2019 (no including the Covid nonsense). But going into that not many were confident after that League Cup final win where Forster saved the day.

    I think we'll win and win it well.

    Celtic 3-0 Rangers

    I know but it’s annoying that even if we win 20-0 we can’t OFFICIALLY become champions until the following match

    The only place of the top of my head is the Irish Times in Las Americas. Plenty of places will be showing it but be sure to pick one full of your own :56:

    I never enjoy watching these games as the tension is so unbearable, but I think this might be the worst one yet.
