-
Woo Hoo again!!!!!!!!!!!
-
I think our full backs have still to be tested and they will be tomorrow
-
I have never looked forward to an Old Firm game as much! We all know that Rangers will raise their game, but looking at our previous performances, we have the ability to win. I'm only sorry that Sutton will be unavailable.
BE SEEN IN GREEN!
-
I for one do not see Rankgers upping their game so to speak.(can they).
I do however see them trying to kick Celtic of the park. Rae could be back for them in midfield and we all know what that means, cheating, diving, gouging, hands in face all of that. No it is Rankgers who should be worried that Celtic do not up our game, it could become quite frightening for the boys in blue. If and I stress if we have a strong referee ( have my doubts) then I can see us winning comfortably, 3-1,( head on the block or what lol).
Remember specsavers brigade the bhoys from the land of the rising sun will be watching you.
-
Any word on who the man in black shall be?
-
Paul
Should have taken a point in the San Siro?????
Inter missed a penalty, had a perfectly good goal disallowed and missed an open net. It should have been 4-0. On the subject of that game I wonder how Rangers internal investigation into the singing of the party songs from the official party is going?
Anyway, completely agree with everything else. The hungrier side usually comes out on top in these games and they will definitely be up for it so we'll need to match that.
On the subject of Du Wei I would get the game on the 19th out of the way then start introducing him from then on. I think I'm right in saying Bobo will be on African Cup duty in January so it would be good if Du Wei was ready to step in then.

If we keep our discipline and play our passing game in the face of their agression thre will only be one winner.
McGeady/Thomson? We are at home and should look to dictate so i think Aiden is the better choice he is also in form.
-
Off topic but I was one of the many who bought shares during the first share issue costing me around £880 i think.I have received around £12 a year in dividens since and recently agreed to the dividens for shares.
However I don't know what my original "investment" is now worth, not that they will ever be sold but passed onto my son.
My point being this was given as I believed in Fergus and in celtic's future and I could afford to lose it if things went pear shaped.I did not take up any of the other offers but am considering this latest share issues for the same reasons.
Fans should enter into shares with their eyes open.
Could anyone update me about the present worth of my original "investment" and also let others know what it could mean for them.
-
any news if majic is fit ?
-
I'll say it again bhoys:
Time for both feet on the ground!
If i was a gambler,i would bet a draw tomorrow.
In all of my years{and i'll be going into that in some detail later tonight NOEL}, i can hardly recall a time when so many people were taking things for granted.
Throughout Jock Steins time we beat and were beaten by good and, rank rotten Rangers sides.
These games are no formalities,however i do like the way WGS seems to have the opposition guessing as to his line up,and therein may lie the upper hand.
The vistors have no idea what way we will line up and what formations we may deploy.
WGS it seems is a canny wee guy!
Remember CONFIDENCE is the bi word not overconfidence and with a calm measured approach to tomorrow all will be well.
And i for one canny wait to get right intae them.
Aye, thats ma coat on the shoogly nail.
-
I have a bad feeling about tomorrow. The hun is not as bad as is being made out. Too many faces missing who are associated with the new brand of football
-
nickhealy-
are you not aware of the unwritten rule that once you have triumphed in the race for 1st post you shall not enter the same race till 20 new posts have passed-shame on you :P
Ihave to agree with Terry O,Neill that Aiden done enough to keep his place for tomorrow night ahead of Alan Thompson-just.
Alan Thompson has always been a big player for us in these games(when he has managed to stay on the pitch)-however I think the massive improvement in young Aidens performance on sunday(and lately in the reserves) shows just how effective a coach Mr.Strachan is.
Towards the end of last season I think young McGeady had started to lose his way in the side where it seemed most of our big players were also struggling.
Our new style of football seems to be helping him and, against falkirk,he seemed rejuvenated.
Mr. Strachans work with our upcoming youth players(coutesy of Tommy Burns and Willie McStay)will come to fruition towards the end of next season when ,hopefully ,with The Champions League Trophy back where it belongs, they will herald the dawn of A New Celtic Dynasty.
Marcella-stop being such a bully-

I'm quietly confident about tomorrow night's game.
Key word- QUIETLY- dont want to give the office Gers too much to bite onto.
Have to agree with Martybhoy too, Paul, Rangers definately didn't deserve a point from the San Siro, Inter dominated the game at a walking pace.
If we can hold our nerve and stick to the script we should overcome them with relative ease. The potential banana skin is if they start to kick out we retaliate... dont rise to it bhoys!
Hope we go with
---------Boruc-------------
Telfer-Balde-McManus-Camara
Naka-Petrov--Lennon-McGeady
--------BBJ-Maloney--------
Off subject a bit, Paul67 I'm still waiting on my Share application form and prostectus in the post can you run an advice thread in the coming days so I can make sure I've crossed my t's and dotted my i's?
TBE.
-
Here we go...
I believe that we will win a closely matched cup tie.
I know that we are by far the better team and confidence is far higher in our camp, but the person that will decide how this game pans out will be the man in black.
I fear that this will be a chance for some dodgy decisions to wind us up and give them the excuse they are looking for to send a player or two off and kick start their season.
Again.
However, should we A) get an impartial referee (unlikely)
or B) not react poorly to the heavy handed/off the ball kicking we'll recieve. Then I think the good ship dignity FC will sink without a trace.
I hope for option B. If Gordon can get the Bhoys to be in the correct mindset, I think we can be patient and really give them a going over.
I'd go as far to say we have the potential to put half a dozen past them regardless of Klos.
This of course is dependant on Kyriakos(sp?) not being able to do his usual bear-hug wrestling moves without punishment.
Hail Hail all
-
I should have made it clear that I believe we CAN give them the big doing they deserve, but that with the MIB trying their hardest, we may have to settle for a 1-0 win with 37 mins of extra time... in each half.
-
37 mins of extra time, don't be ridiculous, it would be at least an hour!
They are the only team i know who can kick off at 3 o'clock, but can still be playing at 5 o'clock. They did it again on Saturday.

I am soooooooooooo excited that I can't even concentrate at work. These two games are preoccupying my mind more than any others have done in the past. I think Lenny and Stan are major players for us tomorrow and reckon that if they are on top of their game-as they have been in the last few weeks- then we will have nothing to worry about.
I've heard that Suttie might still be ok....
-
Haven't you heard Noel, i think he is a thug. In his day, which was long ago, he was an excellent player, and a thug, but now he is just a thug. I would be disgusted if we bought him, so it's just as well we won't.

The same team that beat the nephews of William, Falkirk, seems most likely to start tomorrow. 2-0 for Celtic Petrov(29), Maloney(58).

Yet again before a big game for Celtic a scumbag tabloib has our best player leaving us surely it's time for Celtic to take this rag to the cleaners for writng such nonsense with no support of the story apart to try and cause disruption in our camp. Time and time again this rag attemps to disrupt Celtic before every big game and refuses to focus on the other halfs blatently obvious problems WE MUST TAKE ACTION!

first post reply ever, and read every one too. so shy.
2moro. big night for old friends. only one will come out on top.
WGS. it wont be nice for the wee man to take the peg out of his
big pals shoogly coat loop. but he will do it. we now have a free
flowing football style (formative) that they could only dream of.
strength against heavy tackles and strong mentality will be
required against the MIB's decisions, we know this and you can bet
WGS has drilled his troops accordingly. we are a different side from
the one cheated at "the hovel". I can see no other outcome than
a convincing win. scared how i am to believe it. imagine how
terrified they are gonna be when they come back in a week and a half
to get the next instalment of "playing football the celtic way".
team line as sundays. JUST WATCH THE FIRST TACKLE ON NAKA.
im feeling anxious only about that.
-
Sutton definitly out bhoys just heard Strachan there surely McGeady must start ahead of Thompson what do youse think?
-
This Ajax wonderkid is a replacement for Petrov? This from the paper who told us, just before he signed, that Mjallby was the "Swedish Lambert".
Two peas in a pod!
A win will do nicely!
-
The Nasa site is great Noel, and it might make me a hypocrite, but i'd play Jeffrey Dahmer against rangers if i thought it would help us win.
Well if they are going to play Alex(Hannibal Lecter)Rae.....
-
Both Brahim Hemdani and Peter Lovenkrands are out of tomorrows game.
As for the Ajax I would sse him as a longterm replacement for Lennon he would be a good signing as we are short of cover for this role.
I agree we have to look out for a very physical Rangers team and we will get no protection from the Hunsavers in black. Oh yeah it's been a long time sice they have had a penalty.

News on majic - anybody ??

Noel-90 Could we be talking about Fc Dignity being in danger of going 5th?. They have two hard away games our goodselves on the 19th followed by an away trip to the Hibees. Could we really be talking about them being 5th in the league and Walter smitty as their new hero.
Discipline will win us the games. Discipline, pace and skill. It must be rammed home to the players, DO NOT react to provocation, walk away, get up get dusted and get on with it, they who laugh last laugh at the Orc.

I firmly believe that if WGS sends the players out with the correct attitude, we will win convincingly.
We should leave Thommo on the bench as he is in danger of becoming a liability when TFOD decide to wind him up and kick Naka.
The attitude on Sunday at Falkirk was spot on. Before the game I was concerned the players might believe they only needed to turn up in order to win, WGS ensured this was not the case and the outcome was a relatively straightforward victory. More of the same please.
4 - 0 McManus to score 1st goal in second half
-
thx BigJoe - is that as far south as Cabo Roig on the coast road...
-
The big concern about tomorrow is the tackles (first few especially) from Alex Kray and the others on Nakamura in particular and whether the ref will do anything about it. What am I saying - of course he won't!
If we can get through the game with our best eleven available remaining on the pitch, and not off injured or red carded for retaliation, then we could romp it.
-
Right bhoys.......who is this with Bobo?

JonG,
Game is played to a finish, so no chance of a draw. If we play at the right tempo, there is no chance of this even being close. (:-0)
RE: Pienaar:
As I said on the previous thread, he is a tanner-ba' player who would be fielded on the flanks, so no chance of him replacing Petrov. Just a predictable Daily Ranger non-story written by a Rangers fan on the eve of an Old Firm game. I'm just surprised that anyone still falls for this rubbish.
BlantyreKev,
Jim O'Brien was overlooked by Scotland Under-19s for a tournament but was then contacted by Ireland. I'd class it as a "career" decision. He got a little bit of flak for it last season after scoring twice in the Youth Cup Final but I'd assume it will be forgotten about until he appears in the first team squad. Which could be in a year or two's time, as he's a talented lad.
At present, Scott Cuthbert, Charlie Grant, Simon Ferry, Michael McGlinchey and Ryan Conroy are all in the running for places with Scotland Under-19s.

I wish it was Samuel Eto'o!
-
Pienaar doesn't seem to think he sould be played on the flanks. From the official Ajax website:
Q: "Steven, you have played many different positions with Ajax. Which one is your favourite?"
A: "The number-10 position. I like it when it is crowded and that is often the case in the middle. I can play other positions, but then I have to adapt."
-
Gerry - the player next to Bobo Balde is a trialist. I don't know his name, however he has been invited by Willie McStay who wants to have a look at him for the youth set up.
-
Welcome Rev D. Hay, good to hear from another ‘lurker’.
Gerry, no mention of a trialist.
-
Lawlerm,
The "No.10 position" is reserved for lightweight midfielders who don't want to tackle or chase back, such as Juninho or Berkovic. There is no room for one of them in Strachan's favoured 4-4-2. As Thin Lizzy said when they first saw a back page "exclusive" in the Daily Ranger the day before an Old Firm game: "Don't believe a word."
Before anyone asks, I don't have a clue who Bobo's pal is. But he does look big, doesn't he?
-
For those predisposed to predicting the score, it is probably worth considering that Boruc, Telfer, McManus, Camara, Nakamura, McGeady, and Maloney i.e. 7 out of our probable starting 11 are very, very inexperienced when it comes to handling the dark side.
Make up your own minds if this is good or bad, but it certainly makes me wary.

Apart from the obvious differences between ourselves and the Orcs there perenial "divine right of victory belief" and smugness differentiates wildly from our view that even we are clearly better and in better form there are still concerns over beating a distinctly average team.
Over the years how many Huns do you know when leading us by 12 points had any fear about facing us? Yet we always give ourselves doubts. We need to grasp the nettle and have a belief that we are the better team and have the will to show it. I am fearful if things are not going well instantly tomorrow there will be murmurs from the stands.
Even our few and far between victories in the 90's are poor examples of underdog victories as all the important ones were at the underdogs (us) home.
Old Firm games are special, hard to predict what exactly happens but more often than not the best team does win. Under MON the exception of the CIS Cup Final in 2003 there are not may games where we can seay we have been significantly better than them and came out on the losing team.
-
Nakamura, McGeady, and Maloney in the same team makes for a lightweight side in a fixture that requires strength and no less courage.
Wee Sean can hack the physical, he has davie proven that, but the others leave me with doubts. Lets face it, Naka is struggling with the physical side of scottish football, and an old firm game is not for passengers. These 2 games will make or break him.
-
DOV.... maybe you havent seen the movies but in episode vi Darth Vader dies "from a certain point of view" and anakin returns to the force, hence why you see his, obi wans and yoda spirits in the last scene

Therefore my going to the dark side would be pointless as you are no longer there
-
CelticBhoy, JohnBhoy & Lawlerm - I posted on the last thread
'Pienaar would be a first choice in a World 5-a-side team. Excellent close control, very quick feet. Ajax have been playing him on the right side of midfield. He doesn't look happy there & I don't think he covers enough ground to play there. Flatters to deceive at times but when it comes off (see Ajax's fourth goal in their last CL game) it's good to watch. Not to be compared with Petrov - more lightweight. I would be more interested in the other Ajax player who has announced he will not renew his contract at the end of this season - Hatem Trabelsi, the Tunisian right back. A real class act & a wonderful athlete to boot. Unfortunately I recall Arsenal were interested in him a while ago.'
Pienaar is not a wide midfield player & is not a potential replacement for Lennon.

We need the Euro Gold so much..... It HOITS!!

CELTIC 5 Rangers O (And the "0" is given extremely grudgingly!)

The NEXT Confrontation to appear on the Calendar,against the G.A.......IS A SERIOUS TEST!
THAT WILL BE THE BIG ONE....
Mabel is nodding her head, wisely!
Now,Johnny,Pal...
I did ask you on an earlier occasion to find out the Name of the Young Asian Youth, in the Celtic NURSERY.
I repeat my request.
Please try to ferret out the SCOOP on this FLEDGLING Pele!
I cannot get in touch with the 3 Cousins.....and I have lost contact....TEMPORARILY.....with the BOSS.( He Is in STRICT INCOMMUNICADO!......Don't Ask!!)
But I was having a discussion the other day, with a dear friend, and the Asian Youth's Name came up in the Conversation.......My friend was raving about His(That is the Youngster's) Footballing Prowess...... It seems,I have been told.......The it is impossible to Relieve this Young Man of the Football, whenever he gets it!
Sounds like a little bit of detective work, would deliver a Trove of satisfaction.
Forever, Celtic!

There seems to be a lot of talk about leaving out our better/skillful players and replacing them with inferior/stronger players.
To my mind this would be playing right into Rangers' hands.
If we are indeed the better footballing team with the better football players then this is the route (football) to go down. Attempting to copy this Rangers team will get us nowhere.
-
Off topic - sorry
Just been asked to go to Neil Lennons tribute dinner on the 23rd.
Let me think – should I go – millisecond lapses – ok then.
Anyone else have the opportunity?
-
Kojo,
Will get back tae ye on that one. Must be younger than 15, as he isn't even in the Under-17 squad yet. And no doubt Celtic will be trying to play it low-key with a Bhoy of that age.
I'll ask about, though.
PS, Like your forecast!
-
Stating the bleedin’ obvious here but if we can keep Prso out wide as much as poss, and not give away too many free kicks that allow Kyriagos (sp?) to do his ‘wrestle the marker out of the way at the back post and head the ball back into the middle’ manoeuvre – seriously how often has he got away with that one this season alone -we should be OK defensively.
Midfield have got to refuse to take the Alex Rae (if playing) bait and concentrate on out passing them.
Upfront BBJ has to make inroads towards the 200. Throw in a Naka free kick (25 yards) and a Petrov lung burster and we’ll be fine.
Hands starting to shake already

Back on topic now - I am but one of the few it seems that no matter how well we are playing going into a rangers game - i am still as nervous as hell. I'll still be crapping it even if we go 2 up. I've been to every celtic/rangers game there has been for about 8 years now and i've celebrated and suffered with the rest of us. I know what feeling i want at 2200hrs tomorrow - but it wont be easy, they never are.

Hi Paul,
QOTSA75 :- All going well I'll be there, the banner idea sounds interesting, I wonder if I'd be the first to fly a latin banner in the Rangers crowd :)
Noel 90 3.32 :- I think if you played him against Rangers he would last under 20 minutes, you're best hope would be that through retaliation he took someone off with him, I wont deny he was once a great midfielder, but feel that his temper has grown as his pace declined.
As a matter of curiosity, what do others think of the psychological effect of winning/losing for either team tomorrow in respects to the league game. Would a result have no effect, a crushing effect or the opposite and fire up a team to make sure the get revenge next game?
I still think the weather tomorrow night is going to make for a poor footballing game, and it's more likely to be mistakes than skill that get a goal. 1- 1 90 minutes, Rangers to go through. (and looking forward to the link of Noel90 eating his pie :) )
-
JohnBhoy:
I didn't say I believed it I just said he wouldn't necessarily be played on the wing - which was your reason for dismissing it.

Got my ticket for my first ever old firm game tomorrow. It's not that I'm a young whipper-snapper who's just started to shave I just haven't tried to get a ticket before. Canny wait!
The team pretty much chooses itself up to a point. With Sutton out Maloney will probably move up alongside Hartson from his left midfield slot. I think it's between McGeady, Walace and Thommo to fill the missing place in midfield.
If McGeady plays the way he can he would be a great asset but I feel he hasn't yet reached the consistency required at first team level; and he gives the ball away a lot.
Thommo has proved himself in old firm games in the past but he has also been sent off in old firm games in the past. I felt the midfield was slower during the Hearts game with Thommo in. As a lot of people have said he doesn't link well with Camara as he constantly drifts too far inside.
For Wallace read McGeady. A great prospect although he is a couple of years older but can waste possession. He was superb when he came on against the sisters of William (M'well). Like McGeady it would be good to see him run at the dodgy Rangers full backs but I'm not won over.
I suppose these kind of decisions are what WGS is paid for and I'm at a loss as to which one to play. Probably favour the younger guys over Thommo but have some great memories of his goals against Rangers when he keeps his head.
Just to finish on a happy note. My Dad's first old firm game was at Ibrox in the 60s when we drew 2-2 to win the league. His uncle bought him and his cousin tickets for the wrong end but they went in and stood among the minions and couldn't celebrate. One orc behind them got bottled for slagging off Willie Henderson but the pair of them got out alive and made a bee line for the Celtic fans celebrating outside. My ticket is for the Jock Stein stand upper tier (I'm the bloke who sings loudly all game in Block 439) so should be in better company.
Mon the hoops!
