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.

Yes, they (and both his bosses are Scottish) do allow him, but he still has to work hard to show that it’s worth keeping him on the case. It’s been a great success on the Channel 4 News website so that helps of course, but it’s really down to how strongly he feels about the story.
I’ll admit that I had played a direct role in bringing it to his attention and from the start he has believed it to be the biggest corruption story ever in sport, and corporate corruption story since RBS.
He also loves that the ‘succulent lamb’ (I gave him the quote) media and the ‘revolving door’ (I gave him that too) between Rangers and the SFA are just further facets of a superb story.
On day one he said ‘Bit’. Between’.’Teeth’.
Nothing has changed
Sanna,
£5 beamback, access to the lounge, bacon roll and haltime pie, and cash at the bar,
then you can be there when the victorious champions return.

Retrospectively, there was something sacrificial about the League Cup, and you’re right, it’s the potential aftermath of the game, that is the danger.
But nothing would stop the party, and a win on Sunday is right and fitting ;-)
Natknow

Folks, does anyone know if Celtic Underground will be publishing a podcast this weekend?
They’ll be whipped into a frenzy by wee Wullie Blue Nose closely followed by the Spend a penny arcade. The illegally sold 43,000 union jacks will be waving…and then we’ll win the league.
Bourne: you are so correct, ‘it’s right and fitting.’
Gordon: the perfect oxymoron.
Hail hail

Police and thieves is belting out in my ears….. The clash

Joining early tonight as i feel
tomorrow could be a momentous day.
Agent Craig “Green & Whyte”,
Been following that myself. I picked up on one tantalising reply from @AlexTomo to a tweet:
Iain M Hepburn @imhepburn · Close
Perhaps if @alextomo we’re actually uncovering new facts, a la Mark Daly, or putting data into context, a la RTC blog, his blogs… (ctd)
alex thomson @alextomo Close @imhepburn
just wait….
“We all knew how tough it would be. When Wigan play like that, Barcelona couldn’t stop them.”
Kenny Dalglish
I suspect there will be a small hard core of Hun maniacs tomorrow but I suspect that the general mood will be a damp squib.
the result tomorrow is meaningless. it settles nothing, everything league wise is settled. they are already conditioned to losing..
defeat or victory will be hollow for them. They have bigger concerns..

It is all decided at editorial level whether a story “goes” or not.
In Scotland, it is always “not”.
Congrats in getting Ch.4 interested and pointing AT in the right direction.
I tried for about two years to get the Observer to look at the scandal.
They did a couple of lightweight, run of the mill pieces about the “rivalry”.
At least they got in tough with RTC, whether it was due to my mentioning him and CQN as places where they should start looking for pointers.
AT sounds like a terrier and it appears that the more they attack him, the more tenacious he becomes.
anybody know what the biggest margin the league has benn won by – was it MO’N with 22pts?
Do we have a new target to beat?
CultsBhoy @ 16:56
Ouch. Straight for the jugular re Flanders. I very much enjoyed that.
Reminds me hearing him deliver another badly prepared oratory piece last Saturday, reminding us Tims that we should not gloat too much, as any trouble tomorrow will be a result of us having the audacity to win the League.
He is indeed a tragic character who I think will spend most of his retirement regretting how much he sold out to a deid dodo of a club.

Some of the reading is eye opening, but the more you follow the deeper you get into the darkness of the hun mentality.Scary stuff.

James Forrest just walked by my window. I take youre’ on the ground floor??
I’m not a fan of Kenny – happy enough to see him flounder..
After 3 years of hurt tomorrow could be our day.
I’d love to see Neil doing a non gloating wee jig
on the park after the game.

They really are living on a different planet.
Was interested to note that Alex Thomson said they would be filming at the match tomorrow. Presumably C4 have no right to film the actual match so that only leaves…
What a goal by Crouch
Crouch 1-0 for Stoke
man city go a wonder goal down
Now the Stoke taking the pee out of the City fans, cue 2-1 City
Air Football at its best

I think Alex Thomson will need more security than Neil tomorrow.
Would love to see ch4 news show the hun fans behaviour on camera.
Im sure AT will know all about the BB, TFS and Jock Stein
Next week should be interesting.
cultsbhoy
you give them too much credit
they consider their very existence to be under threat …..they know only one way to deal with adversity
still hopeful of a ticket for tomorrow….my team to win will be…..
FF
Matthews TR Mulgrini Izzy
Brown VW Joe L Sammi
Commons
Hooper ( Stokes if Hooper unfit)
No Wilson please or Mulgrini at LB, I fear we will lose if we go that way.
Hail! Hail!
If you can sit through 90 min of English PL
football you will find it is devoid of football.
Outwith the Arsenal and Man Utd there is very little
football actually played.
quite a few cqners want commons tomorrow
