Old Firm build up

Last season and this season Celtic and Rangers have played each other 8 times.

Celtic have scored 15 goals to Rangers 9.

All 15 of Celtic’s goals have been from open play (even though CCV and Bernardo 1s are bouncing about the box)

5 of the Rangers 9 have been from set pieces.

As to being bothered or not if Rangers win the League. Of course I'd be bothered, they're our biggest rivals. Any Celtic fan saying different is at it.

To be clear, I'm not saying that I won't be bothered if Rangers win the league.

Some folk who are not right in the head have misunderstood my comments.

What I'm saying is that nothing anyone can say on here will make the slightest difference to how I feel....in any circumstances.

There's a lot of big Jessies getting their feelings hurt on here.

Totally not bovvered 👍


I’m convinced 😂

Man, nothing screams ‘VIP’ like a tent in a car park 200 yards from the actual stadium.

I think it’s one of the biggest.

Certainly for Rangers. The £50-60m CL money next season could be transformative for the club.

Scotland enjoyed a wee golden period of automatic CL entry. Not sure that is going to continue.

Sunday, and the remaining league games that follow, offers Rangers a chance for a step change in their finances like no other season.

Bigger picture it’s absolutely massive for Rangers.


If Celtic genuinely don’t believe there is a rivalry there and are happy to dismiss Rangers no matter what - then it’s just another Glasgow derby.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Who on earth said there was no rivalry for goodness sake?

You’ve arrived at making things up to suit your mantra and I’m genuinely stunned that yet again our comments appear to fly straight over your head.

It’s either that or just another case of massive double down to elicit a reaction.

Weird.

Not sure what the consequences for Rangers not winning are ‘dire’ though. Thats just a bit melodramatic panty wetting for me.

Rangers are still far from the finished article. Despite getting bodies back we are missing two of our key forwards in Cortez and Danilo. Plus Sima and Roofe aren’t fit to play 90.

No excuses - we are in much better shape than the last OF game where we barely scraped together 3 midfield players. But we will be going into Sunday with a makeshift front 3 most likely with silva and Sterling playing out of position.

We have options though - so the game is still there for us to win.

Either way theres loads to be optimistic about for Rangers after this season.

I said “potentially dire” and deliberately so because I just knew someone would try and twist it.

Well done.

I was merely offering an alternative scenario. yet again that appeared to fly straight over your head.

What utter piiish and btw; find your own patter

You’re just sticking mindless posts up to try and elicit an argument when there is none with us.

No debate. No discussion. Just mindless drivel.

Enjoy the game

If we win on Sunday we should go on to win the league.

I think the mood around Celtic if they lose on Sunday will be so toxic and us winning that game in hand a few days later would leave them needing snookers whilst their fans turn on them when they are needed most.

If i was a Tim I would be smelly and in dire need of a dentist appointment but I'd also be confident of winning the league if Celtic could get away from Ibrox with a point.

Fair enough, my opinion of Cantwell may be clouded from him being hooked early a couple of times for not doing what the manager wanted him to do.

On the other hand i've always thought Lawrence put himself about and made an impact on the game.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Lawrence does get involved and make an impact on games for sure. But he does just kind of float about a bit more for me.

I think that Cantwell works back way more and is generally more industrious in the ten position.

Hopefully this coming game we will instruct Cantwell to actually pressurise McGregor rather than sit off him and give him the freedom of the park to dictate the game.

Cantwell and Lawrence have two different styles but both can be big contributors. I do expect Cantwell to start over Lawrence on Sunday though.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Can't believe you guys are even debating Cantwell v Lawrence.

Cantwell is a bit of a blouse on tiktok but if a team let's him play he'll punish them. No doubting his talent. Lawrence is decent but if they're both at their best it's Cantwell every time.

I'd be nervous when cantwell has the ball in the final third against us. Lawrence not so much.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Maybe we just havent seen as much of Rangers as you?

I only watch every game once.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Give an opinion about football and this is what you get.

Pathetic.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

It can be a cruel place on here at times.

Any Rangers fan that has been on here getting ripped year after year will testify to that.

Its going to be a tough shift for some on here if Rangers do win the league.....
----------------------------------------------------------------------
'A tough shift'🤣🤣🤣🤣
