    With all the talk and looking forward to this I completely forgot we have them to play again at home. The home game could be even better if we dont win the League there,

    We could be 25+ points clear and who knows a win in that game may put us 30 clear of them or something :56:

    Considering the state the Huns are in, unless they get taken over, this may well be our last derby game, so best enjoy it Bhoys. :56::50:

    Its mad to think we were 15 points behind them at one point and could now go 24 points ahead in 2 days time :56: 39 point swing. Sally Must Stay!

    Shame Forrest and Hooper are out. Think Sammy must play left mid because we need some attacking threat from midfield/wings. A midfield of Brown - Wanyama - Ki - Ledley would be too static imo.

    But I also think we should play 2 up front, but with Hooper out that only leaves us with Brozek. So, I'd say why not?

    Forster

    Matthews - Rogne - Mulgrew - Izaguirre

    Brown - Wanyama - Ledley - Samaras

    Stokes - Brozek​

    If we're lacking attacking creativity put Ki on for Wanyama

    Now that Forrest and Hooper look to be ruled out, hopefully Neil Lennon will consider one of my two preferred starting line-ups.....................

    I don't know why but I just think this could be a good game to throw Paddy in, if he is fit.

    Thats a blow. I imagine Samaras starts up front alongside Stokes now and Commons comes on in midfield instead of Forrest. How about Kris Commons getting a goal or 2 this Sunday. I really hope he starts as I think he could have a big game Sunday.

    Paddy would lap it up against this truly * Rangers side. I hope he features.

    For a change, I don't want Stokes to start, but definitely want him to get a good half an hour. Samaras up top, with Paddy and Commons in support.

    Tight midfield of Brown and Wanyama, with Ki driving forward.

    Doubt Izaguirre will start, so Ledley may be asked to play LB, with Kelvin dropping to the bench and Mulgrew partnering Rogne in central defense.

    It'll be interesting to see if that happens, though, or if Matthews gets the nod ahead of Lustig, who has the potential to be an even better player than the Welshman.

    Anybody putting Izagurre in their team can forget it. He would have been given his chance before then if he was physically fit. (or mentaly ready)

    Cha wont play either. Too flawed defensively. Dont think he's ever played in an OF game since he's came for one reason or another.

    Look for Kelvin Wilson to be dropped. He's talented but physically a bit of a shitebag and i suspect Lenny knows this as he's dropped him whenever there's a physical threat up front.

    The same back 4 that played in the last OF game will be chosen i believe.

    Ki wouldn't play if we had a full compliment of midfielders as these games seem to pass him by but he's played better than most recently and will get the nod.

    Commons will be the one to gain from Forrest's injury. He has been poor all season but could argue he's not been given a sustained run and definetly has match-winning ability. He will get the nod ahead of McCourt i have no doubt.

    Stokes & Samaras will play up front due to Hooper's absence, who despite being * lately would still have got the nod because of his good record in this fixture.

    Forster
    Matthews Rogne Mulgrew Ledley
    Brown Ki Wanyama Commons
    Samaras Stokes.

    Cha, Izagurrie, K.Wilson & McCourt will not be picked!

    Take that to the bank!

    He's a doubt. Although he could make it but Hooper with a dead leg would just be unplayable as he's been * with the full function of his 2 legs recently lol!:52:

    If we turn up on Sunday we could win by a couple.

    Hate to bring this sort of pish up but Sunday will be even more a sour occasion; so for all those going look after yourself. No doubt an over bearing Police and Stewarding presence; with the Police who in particular will be looking for any reason to lift folk.

    Apart from that enjoy, get right into them and behind our team.

    Glasgow Celtic Champions oooooohh,ooohhhh.

    also if we absolutely thrash them and end up winning the league and there fans kick off in the stadium i would urge anyone there not to get involved and lowered to there level let the animals be animals no matter what they do it will only reflect why they are scotlands shame and why we are better off without them
