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.

Still Laughin
Very hapy with the team Neil has chosen for today.
Scott to score – 4/1
Joe to score – 5/1
You heard it here…..;-)
Enjoy the ride.

I hope Chas distribution improves today, going forward all day not a problem but lacks the quality in his crossing. Delighted to see ledley and wanyama at the heart of the midfield, nice and solid. If we can get ki in some space in the final third we will get some joy.
The full-backs will be our weak spots, but then again what are they up against today?
I would have expected FPLG to play Vile Kyle up against our RB, with Elbows up front.
If they are stupid enough to give Ki space to use the ball, then we can control this, but he needs to deliver today.
There are a few on that bench who would start for me, but we need to trust Neil to get this right. Above all else, I hope he gets out of that sectarian cesspit in one piece.
Enjoy the day everyone.

Does aluko start for the hubs? Could be why Matthews is playing lb?

there are many aspects regarding the integrity of Scottish football and Scottish society in general which needs to be examined and questioned …. Callum’s integrity is not one of them.
Enjoy today’s game ….. once in a lifetime, doesn’t even come close
According to @celticfc, it’s a flat 4-5-1. If so, they’ve never played like that all season. Wanyama/Ki/Ledley no experince of playing as a central block of three, and Stokes has only played lone striker in the more dynamic 4-2-3-1.
Still a very good side.
Jesus Izaguirre couldnt have turned into such a shadow of his former self we put a right back in at left back!?
Would have gone for MAtthews and Izaguirre as full backs myself.
Cha in big games has too much of a tendency to have a mare.
We have a fight on our hands today bhoys.
Asides from a Celtic victory there are two things I wish for, that no Celtic player incurs a serious injury as a result of hun hooliganism and that every Celtic supporter sleeps soundly in their own beds tonight.
I know I wont get all 3
Kojo
He might well prove you wrong today pal & i hope he does, Just like Broonie did ;-) HH
mcculloch up front on his own
your man mccabe starting
whiiticker starting
huns going 5-4-1
Lets go for it bhoys!
I hope Ki has a shoot on sight policy today. A 30 yarder to get us on our way
Come on you bhoys in GREEN………

Enjoy the game Bhoys and Ghirls.

I posted earlier about the FBs and it seems a number of us see this as a possible weakness
For LB, Charlie or Joe can seemlessly slot into that role and Mattews can move to RB. Is Luistig injured?
Apart from that, this team should win easy, “should” – expect the huns to be dirty, violent, abusive and criminal
McCulloch as the loan elbow man.
Kojo
The time for him to stand up & be counted is now.
Mayhem & assault sounds right haha, HH

Come on you Bhoys in Green!
All the Billy boys every day posting all sorts of bile and bombs to kill Neil.
Meanwhile, the MSM in control all hun thought, have sent chief Jabba to
the outer realms of nowhere,; a coward clown on the ultimate hun walkaway
to infamy the Sally school of canteen cutlery renown the placement of sharpened
knives outwith the huns of Huns.
