i think it could go either way, both have ropey defences.

i certainly expect goals.

Every chance RnR

NNH I think a lot of Rangers fans know where we are as a team and have realistic expectations. There will still be a lot though who will fully expect us to win and will moan all week on Superscoreboard when we lose.

I actually think Saturday has the potential to be a good game, there is a danger with the managers in charge that some football might actually break out as well.

See, we keep on hearing this reverse psychology but is there a Celtic fan who really believes they are going to lose on Saturday?

I type stuff as well and then once i post think to myself....that's not what i meant

I hope the atmosphere at Celtic park drives the team on to a performance on Saturday

I think with the standing section its made a real difference to the place and the players seem to be buzzing over it

I think if Rangers start with Senderos it might just be the worst thing they can do as i can see him being dopey as fck and being blamed all over the shop

A couple of mates of mine from waaaaaaaaaaay back, one a tim and one a bear, used to go to games together experimenting with cocktails of drugs. I mind them saying being on trips and sweeties was amazing cos they could see the roar coming towards them when one of the teams scored.

Pair o' cabbages

I know you do Zach.👍

BTG I think it's 65-35 in our favour but I've been at OF games when Rangers have been overwhelming favourites and we've won.

Put it this way, I wouldn't be surprised if Rangers were to win 2-1 or 3-2

i think there is potential btg, purely because its happend before.

for me form counts for nothing in these games, some disagree but it could go either way.

I cannot see us losing

We will certainly not lose by more than two goals

Celtic are quite simply not very good as the imps, the Israelis and the jambos showed
----------------------------------------------------------------------
All away from home Curly

I dont think we look the same team away from home as we do at celtic park

which could pose a few problems for us over the season

Hoping Windass is fit, not sure if he will risk him from the start or not, we will be ok just not let us get caught up in the noise and occasion. I think Barton will start with Halliday and either Windass or Forrester. Waghorn or Garner up front? depending on how fit Wags is and big Senderos will start with Kiernan the rest of the team picks itself tbh.

Winning at Ibrox is always much better than winning at Celtic Park, it's the fact you are surrounded by them so to win and gloat on their home patch is something special.

Can't wait for Saturday morning, absolutely buzzing (whilst sheidting it) for this game
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Nnh...totally agree but I think leading at half time at ibrox is even better.
At the end of the game they're gone pretty quick but at half time they just have to grin and bear it.

Just when we think it couldn't get any better, they wheel out Andy Cameron and 'rangers legend' terry Hurlock for the £1690 half time draw. Best 15 minutes of your life right there mate.

its nnh zach.

his estimations are generally pants

CT the atmosphere will be red hot! ALl about the first 15mins. I can see us really going at rangers with the crowd right behind the team, get the ball out to Sinclair etc and get them on the back foot. rangers are more comfortable when the game is settled down. We need to keep it high tempo

exactly

Thankfully Rangers semi final tactic wont be on the cards

they cant just hold the ball at the back and frustrate , well they can try but Rodgers will have Sinclair , Rogic and Forrest to help press the back line which was something Deila never thought to do

Ive watched that semi final again and why deila doesnt move a second forward up top i have no idea

It was rangers main game plan , keeper got the ball , full backs moved up and the centre halfs went wide and Halliday dropped back to make it a 3 v 1 ( griffiths ) at the back and he just chased the ball around until a centre half could spring forward a bit

All deila had to do to stop that whole pattern was put CKR ( i know) upfront with Griffths

Griffths and dembele seems so much more stronger than anything we had last year

btg

still amazes me

33 shots in that game.

i've no idea how, bad finishing perhaps cost us more than anything.
