Rangers vs. Celtic - Sunday, Kick Off 1pm.

Well that's cleared it up

 

Hope this is not the case, I fear slightly for Lennon if we win the title there. Can see them piling on in their bitter masses and he will be the first target.

Fortunatly, some on the Huns forums are seing sence and telling the support to behave, because they know if anything like this happens, it will definatly end the club and any chance of rescuing it.

 

Well as we can see the hun media are up to their usual tricks prior to a derby game. Given the joke of a club that the huns are they are clearly looking to stir the pot and try and create an atmosphere to drag Celtic fans into some nasty stuff so immediately we can be painted as being as bad as the cheating huns.
Make no mistake about it they want trouble and the more the better and the more they can drag Celtic into it then mission accomplished. They want everyone again thinking Celtic Rangers ahh there as bad as each other rather then looking at the huns as the racist cheats they are.

This without doubt is one of the biggest derby games in my life time as a Celtic fan going back to the Cup Final of 1980. Neil Lennon and the team are going to have to show big time mental toughness and composure as you know that the huns will show up and play as if their lives depend on it and will be sticking the boot in big style. They will try and kick us off the park right from kick off. We have to deal with that and play. If we can match them physically and get a hold of the ball and play we will be in good shape. But we really are going to have to be prepared for a massive kick fest and emotional ra ra get stuck into them approach in the first 15 minutes from the huns no question.

Off the field equally I think given the huns cheating and the position they are in as a club off the field we have a real chance to show the world that we are Celtic and support and enjoy our team positively and leave the racism and violence to the huns.

Lets on and off the field get everything right Sunday and make this a day we will all remember for the rest of our lives.

 

1.Forster

12.M.Wilson - 25.Rogne - 21.Mulgrew - 3.Emilio

67.Wanyama - 8.Brown

15.Commons - 18.Ki - 16.Ledley

9.Samaras​

Curve balls are proven to be effective in past derby games. Drop Forrest, Stokes, Hooper and throw Emilio back in.

0-2 Celtic: Samaras and Ki.

 

I like the idea of dropping Stokes, Hooper and Forrest. Think Stokes and Hooper are off the boil without any real challenge and Forrest is tired. It's not the ideal game to drop them but I think it has to be done. A five man midfield with Sammy up top.

 

Can't wait for this game. Come on you bhoys in green!

I like the idea of 5 in midfield too, we looked very light in the middle of the park on Sunday. These games are often decided by who wins the lions share of the ball in the middle of the park. The huns will be out to kick us off the park on Sunday, bit more muscle in the middle of the park will do us no harm at all... bring it on, lets get the party started!!

 

Great post mate Hail Hail

 

I agree with the people who are saying James Forrest should be dropped on Sunday. Forrest and Hooper have been visibly toiling in recent weeks.

The whole point of having a squad is so that you can drop players when they are out of form. It's time these two took a seat on the bench or in the stand.

 

I wouldn't be against this either though I'd have Broony out right, Commons left, Ki back with big Vic and Super Joe operating in the middle behind Sammy. Also, not sure if Wilson's fit so maybe Matthews or Lustig but I like the shape.

 

VERY WELL SAID

 

I very rarely have dreams about football matches before they happen but I had a dream about Sunday's game last night. We won 1-0 with a late goal. Hopefully this is a good omen.

The dream had a bit of a strange twist though. I could only get a ticket for the Rangers end and it was Derek Ferguson that got me my ticket. I had to leave before the end of the match as a Rangers fan started throwing coins at me, he obviously sussed me out.

 

i guarantee izzy starts on sunday and its ledley and brown in centre mid

 

I'll probably have a dream on Friday or Saturday night about it. Usually happens

I think the last time I had a dream about a derby game, it was just before the September game at Ibrokes and it finished 2-2, I think. Wouldn't have been so bad if I was correct, looking back.

 

The main thing about Sunday will be composure.

Lenny needs to drum it into them not to get caught up in all the crap and risk getting someone sent off, cause let's face it, that's the only real chance these * have of beating us.

Forrest and Hooper should both stay in the team, Hooper has a knack of doing the business against the huns.

I would go:

Forster

Matthews Wanyama Mulgrew Izzy

Forrest Brown Ledley Samaras

Hooper Stokes

 

I think Rangers did rest some players against Dundee Utd, because whats to play for anymore!!! Whittaker may be back and Bocanegra and Goian are back from suspension, helping them defensively anyway heads up because we're champions! HAIL HAIL xxxxx

 

Our team is far far far better than theirs. Beyond belief, it's just unnatural. It would be embarrassing to lose on Sunday.

 

Let's hope Motherwell don't win on Saturday.
