Sure we are playing well and they are not but a lot of people think we are going to run over them and I can't see that happening to be honest. They are like a wounded animal right now and I think they are going to come out fighting because they think the whole world is against them. On paper yes we should win no problem but I think its the team that wants it the most that will win the game.....and that should be us!
I hope on the build up to the game the likes of Sammy don't come out and boast about what we are going to do......thats the last thing we need to give them something to fire them up.
Hopefully Forrest is fit although it looks like he is going to miss the game which is a loss....that said, Ledley is back although he is likely to play at left back. I like the 4-2-3-1 we have been playing lately although we may end up going more 4-4-2 if Forrest is out.
I don't normally get confident about old firm games but the last one I was confident about was the 3-0 game where we were totally up for it. I am hoping for the same performance and scoreline but don't see the scoreline happening to be honest. Then after that game I was confident about the League cup final and look what happened there! So who knows whats going to happen? I predict a tight 2-1 win.
Hail hail
Lets not be over confident!

I agree 100%, I think some people are too confident.
The game will be won in the midfield and if we can get Samaras to exploit Whittaker down the wide areas then I can see Whittaker's indiscipline giving us some joy down there. However, I'd like us to set up in the 4-2-3-1.
I wrote on the previous article about that formation being the key to our success, mainly because of the accommodation of so many good midfielders.

Thanks for your jolly seasonal encouragement Herpes. Could I recommend that you take Immodium capsules for the rest of this week. Then after the 28th, buy a disguise outfit and go into hiding for several weeks!

Frankly, I never take anything for granted in these games. An early Rangers goal could tip the balance in their favour and you have to be wary of them when most people are writing them off. I think it will be similar to the cup game at CP last year when it comes to intensity. It will be a miracle if Collum doesn't infuriate one set of supporters when it's all over.

To be honest I dont think we are playing particularily well at all!! We are though on a good run of results and have now developed a winning habit despite not being particularily impressive.Rangers on the other hand are playing absolute pash and are on an awful run of results with no real sign of things changing i reckon it makes us slight favourites but a draw would not surprise me i would though be very surprised if we lose
