Moley Gunnar Solskjaer

But he's been rather quite what?

We're fooking stuck with Morelos if we want to play a recognised striker so I wouldn't bother with it.

Tillman up top.

GK McGregor
LB Barasic
CB Davies
CB Goldson
RB Tavernier
CM Raskin
CM Lundstram
LW Kent
AM Cantwell
RW Sakala
FW Tillman

If Hagi is near match fit, I would shoehorn him into the team probably at the expense of Sakala. Even tempted to let Matondo start over Sakala because he's doing my nut in missing sitters and being offside, not being able to control a ball.

That said he's given Celtic a tough time previously and Matondo until his last two sub appearances has looked total schite.

Souttar has probably been better than Davies but both are prone to a mistake and one has been solid with Goldson so I give him the nod.

Kamara over Lundstram wouldn't bother me either as he's been schite.

Hopefully Hatate is fit for at least an hour and give us a good showing. Imagine Iwata would then come on. Suspect Jota will play. Midfield is hopefully then McGregor, Hatate and O’Riley. Iwata and Mooy to come on later.

Morelos will start-there’s no other viable option. The curveball would be Tillman playing as a false 9, and having Lundstrum, Raskin and Cantwell in midfield. Assume Goldson and Davies at the back and Kent back for the wing.

Tight game I imagine. Rangers need this and law of averages say they have to win sometime.

can Kamara do a wee stare though?

mad squeaky lundstram

Snigger.

Saw clips this morning of last year’s semi final-mental the amount of bookable offences Lundstrum got away with from Madden.

Sakala seems to unnerve Celtic because he’s fast and he’s direct.

I’d sooner Goldson was still unavailable. Him being fit would be a huge helping hand for Rangers.

the love sticking a microphone in front of cantwell don't they?

Great title, but surely it can’t be both a “semi” and “Firm”, even less likely if it’s “old”

well celtic are old, and firm.

rangers are the limp semi, and are most certainly not old.

Yeah, would prefer Goldson was out. Anything that’s not good for rangers is fine by me.

goldson was good at ibrox, he looked solid when maeda ran past him to score.

If Rangers play like they did when they got pumped by Aberdeen can see a 4-0/5-0 trouncing for Celtic

If only they’d start Cantwell and Raskin. It’d make all the difference in the world.

Kind of you to ask. I tested negative for the first time this morning so all seems well.

How are you?

I’d almost rather 3 at the back or Arfield, King in midfield, anything other than Lundstram just now. Kamara is no better.

Matondo in for Sakala I’d go for. But if not next week end of season. Matondo has at least looked decent when he’s came in last two games. We know Sakala is pash.

Good to hear.

Doing fine-not looking forward to the game at the weekend.

Not a chance will Postecoglou play Hatate even if he’s in 2-3 days training. Hamstring is easily tweaked again.

Jota should hopefully make it which I consider a boost. Abada as much as I’d want him to be available will likely not be risked either.

If Rangers turn up like they did at CP they’ve every chance of winning this especially if we play like Saturday. So wasteful in front of goal.

Be a very tight game and I can easily see extra time and maybe even penalties

And I do care how Pointy is

I'm usually pretty confident and upbeat ahead of old firm games, no matter the form book or whatever

But we are honking, first old firm for a long time, that I am really dreading

Would like to think that $hitshow at Pittodrie can be semi explained by players keeping something back for the weekend...but let's be honest thats wishful thinking

Anything can happen in 90mins....but if there is one certainty, we will concede at least 1 in that 90mons, likely more....and we just don't have the quality to win the game if we are giving you 1-2 goals every time we play you.

Depressing

maybe even penalties
—-
Pretty sure that’s a given.

That’s Moonhowling apparently.

Last year’s semi, Lundstrum should’ve have been booked three times, Bassey at least twice. But Bobby Madden didn’t want to spoil the party that day..
