Celtic will need to dig deep for victory

1054

Neil Lennon’s most inspirational victory over Rangers arrived in January 2011 when a depleted squad in poor form outplayed their rivals.  Despite this it remains a concern that Gary Hooper and James Forrest, the manager’s two most favoured players, are injury doubts for tomorrow. Whether Hooper and Forrest are fit or not, we’ll need all the fighting spirit from the win last year if we want to leave with another win.

Six days ago at Hampden we witnessed what happens when a team in the middle of a results slump focus on the most game they have left in the season.  Kilmarnock are a team with enormous vulnerabilities and I’m prepared to bet than none of you witnessed their last win over Celtic in Glasgow, but they got the result.  Tomorrow is the biggest game in Rangers’ season.  You can forget about Ally McCoist’s comments that Celtic are firm favourites, that’s what passes as mind games across the city. Any win would be an enormous achievement from Celtic.

    ‘We have access to the facts behind this story (supported by documentation)’.

     

     

    This, combined with Alex Thomson’s posts today, sounds like we are moving up the gear I had hoped for a few days ago.

     

     

    The documentation in question I mentioned on Wednesday and I know to be in the possession of HMRC (one of them is an email from a well-known, formerly hirsute male model, complaining that whilst he knew the EBTs were wrong he didn’t care as he just wanted one himself) and it now looks as if this may be about to surface into the public domain.

     

     

    Game changer.

  12. “Celtic, like Barcelona, are more than a

     

    football club. Our clubs are a symbol of

     

    a culture and community that has not

     

    always been made welcome in their

     

    respective countries.”

     

    Xavi (Barcelona midfielder)

  13. Right from the kick off tomorrow we should go for their throats and don’t stop till we’re 3 or 4 up, let’s show them who the bosses are, no mercy, no dilly dallying, straight for the jugular.

  14. Has Bocanegra gone native at Ibrox?

     

     

    He had never had much controversy round him before he joined them.

     

     

    Should we expect him to kick all round him tomorrow?

     

     

    Is he a hun or just a Rangers player?

  15. tommytwiststommyturns on

    ht – you can have bird seed if you want, I’ll stick to lard !

     

    You better be in tiptop condition, we might need a couple of athletes like yourself to protect Neil….

    I love the rangerstaxcase guy.

     

     

    Unadulterated love for a fellow man I have never met.

     

     

    More succulent stuff to come???

     

     

    How long can my anatomy cope with being on this borderline to orgasm ?

     

     

    Saddened that RTC guy will soon be off the scene.

     

     

    I will buy 201 copies of his book and make a futon of them.

    They’ll all be huns tomorrow.

  20. If jabba was a sausage:

     

     

    Yes we know he is a pig in a blanket. He is no slim jim & no hod dog either thats for sure. He ought to be stewed and stuffed. Grilled seasonally until something good might come out. Preferably battered, very battered if possible. Barbecued and mulched then served with cheerios

  21. Lennybhoy

     

     

    I’ll be driving the bus and as you know don’t normally drink at Sunday games but may make an exception!!!

     

     

    Will be in Govan around 11am so I’m thinking of giving the Green Brigade a hand with their display, as they’re looking for helpers. After I’ve put the nets up and prepared the pies etc :-))

  22. Awe Naw

     

     

    I second that sentiment.

     

     

    I’m not sure how I am going to fill the massive void in my life when RTC finally hangs up his typewriter ;o)

     

     

    The guy has achieved a huge amount in the space of a year.

    You walked into the party like you were walking onto a yacht Your hat strategically dipped below one eye Your scarf it was apricot You had one eye on the mirror as you watched yourself gavotte And all the girls dreamed that they’d be your partner They’d be your partner, and…

     

     

    You’re so bain, you probably think this song is about you You’re so bain, I’ll bet you think this song is about you Don’t you?Don’t You?

     

     

    You had me several years ago when I was still quite naive Well you said that we made such a pretty pair And that you would never leave But you gave away the things you loved and one of them was me I had some dreams, they were clouds in my coffee Clouds in my coffee, and…

     

     

    I had some dreams they were clouds in my coffee Clouds in my coffee, and… Well I hear you went up to Saratoga and your horse naturally won Then you flew your lear jet up to Nova Scotia To see the total eclipse of the sun Well you’re where you should be all the time And when you’re not you’re with Some underworld spy or the wife of a close friend Wife of a close friend, and…

  24. Signing off and getting an early night for jelly & ice cream Sunday. I will leave you with this.

     

     

    “What these players have to realise, is

     

    that when you put on the Celtic jersey

     

    you’re not playing for a football team,

     

    you’re playing for a community and a

     

    cause”

  25. I have always said- as long as anyone would listen that is- that you cannot trust a hirsuted male model.

     

     

    The hair product industry is an expensive business.

     

     

    Its like butchers and square sausages.

    I heard there’s a group of Celts, appropriately dressed in black, gonna be carrying a coffin down to the broomloan pre match :))))

     

     

    I certainly hope not. It will be portrayed in the press as `disgusting Celtic fans` after last weeks events at Hampden.

    If you do end up helping with the display, say hello to the tannadice martyr, he’ll be there too.
