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.

    Both on the bench for me but it might be worth giving them both the last 20 minutes depending on the scoreline.

  2. Estadio Nacional on

    sixtaeseven: 15:51

     

     

    Ive a feeling Paddy McCourt will come on late in the game and score his best goal yet. Hope he gets the chance.

    The Verve returning at castle greyskull would be timely. Everything has been going wrong for the Rangers this season and theres no sign that karma has finished with them yet. A lovely word is Verve.

    Imagine if a pound coin lands on the pitch tomorrow.

     

    Police will be in a quandry to decide if it’s a missile or a last-minute bid.

     

    ;o)

    Cha at left back??

     

    ———————————-

     

    can’t think who else to play there. We need Ledley in midfield and more importantly keep Charlie M and TommyR in central defense. Wilson is a bomb scare. If Izzy is fit i’d play him – but!!!

    Id have a one legged Izaguirre ahead of a one footed (which aint all that) amd right footed Cha if im being honest with you

    Kojo

     

    Still..Laughin’

  10. After listening to Killie chairman’s comments, we have no friends in this league.

     

     

    Bhoycott will show them who is boss.

  11. !!Bada Bing!! Kano 1000 on

    Wee Dawwell would have been better doing Motherwell team talk at half time.Hurting hun.

  12. Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeelp

    I take your point about having Ledley in the midfield but for tomorrow I’d have him at left back unless of course Izzy is 100% fit :-)

     

     

    Yyyyeeeessss 1-0 killie!!!!!!_!_

  14. Kojo

     

     

    I don’t like the sound of the old marmite.

     

     

    maks sense to you know who.

     

     

    Killie winning Kojo the dream is alive.

  15. sixtaeseven: No NewCo in SPL and it's Non-Negotiable! on

    Genuine question.

     

    If rANGERs are liquidated next week, would Celtic still be due for the Ipox tickets?

     

     

    In any case, I hope Celtic wait until the very last minute to make the settlement (I believe they must do it within10 days after the match) and pay it all in very thin dimes…

  16. !!Bada Bing!! Kano 1000 on

    hen1rik- Pound for pound Killie on gates of 5,000 with debts of £11 mil plus,are in as much shi£€ as the huns,so we wont be taking any lessons from Johnston or hun Yorkston at Dunfermline.HH

  17. Forster

     

    Matthews Rogne Mulgrew Izaguirre

     

    Brown Ki Wanyama Ledley Commons

     

    Samaras

     

     

    With Forrest likely to be out I would have Commons wide to provide some width. I think Sami plays the lone frontman role much better than Stokes.

  18. I’d like Well to get a point today as it would be good to see the hun knocked off second spot. I’ll not there tomorrow but I’d be happy to see the goal which wins the league next week at Celtic Park.

  19. Kilmarnock 1 up. So, we could win the league tomorrow. Very much doubt we’ll be allowed to one way or another.

     

     

    I wonder if Alex Thompson will let us know who threatened him. I doubt that rag-tag Leggat would be a member of the NUJ.

  20. If Killie win huns will bottle it! Most bares I know were pinning their hopes on Murderwell winning.

  21. My dear,dear,dear,friend..Kojak

     

     

    Killlie, canny win this Yin..they Dast Not.. nor Dare Not.

     

     

    It Be Verboten!

     

     

    Kojo

     

    Still Laffin’

  22. quonno

     

     

    Winning the title there at moooorrdddddooooorrr will be pure dead brilliant dontcha think lol. It must be the huns worst nightmare.
