Going by recent games against Them , we haven’t shown enough to give us confidence but it’s football and anything can happen I suppose
I don't know how you can say that when we've had 4 legit goals disallowed against them in 4/5 games.Going by recent games against Them , we haven’t shown enough to give us confidence but it’s football and anything can happen I suppose
No doubt we have been robbed on numerous occasions mate I have to agreeI don't know how you can say that when we've had 4 legit goals disallowed against them in 4/5 games.
We can beat them. Will we be allowed to beat them?
Logic would say no. But how often have this team fukked up in games they've been expected to win like Dundee and county, but got results in games they weren't expected to like Benfica and betis. I've got a hunch that tells me they'll spring up and surprise everyone this weekend.

Aye it's all fine margins aswell mate. Anything can happen in a football game. Their 20 second goal destroyed us at Ibrox and it took us three games to get back up from it arguably. The same thing could happen to sellick on Saturday, or a ref decision, anything can happen. Eventually the luck has to go our way. That mob have had lots of it with goals we've gifted them, var decisions etc. eventually we need to be the team that gets the luck and hopefully that's on Saturday. They have the advantage of all the fans but we have the advantage of being able to shut them all up and cause a very tough atmosphere for them to play in. They'll come out the traps fast again on Saturday but if we can start better they'll very quickly get very nervous, they also always tire in the second half due to the intensity of the high press. They gubbed us in the first 45 minutes at Ibrox but they paid for it in the second half when they slowed down and we had the ball in the net four times. There's plenty of opportunity for us this weekend we just need to believeWe 100% have the ability but it all comes down to belief and mentality which we don’t seem to have against them. Although we’ve been absolutely cheated in the last two sat the piggery by Father Clancy, Walsh and Collum
I don't know how anyone can 'believe' in these players. Even more so when the players themselves don't believe, I'm basing that evidence on the players actions in recent old firm games (certain players physically looking nervous). When was the last one we won a OF that mattered? Under Gerrard?Yeah, it’ll be hard with no fans and them having the momentum but it’s possible. We don’t win at Parkhead all that often, from 2005 to 2012 we only won there four times and only twice since 2018.
The last game at Parkhead was close, we had some very good chances and they scored two incredible goals. The one before that was close as well. We’re going into this game with a weaker squad, but I totally believe we can do it.
Post number 12 mateif the pressure was off we would probably stick 4 past them! Pressure firmly on us and I can’t see this team rising to the occasion. They’ve shat the bed away to dundee and county fs

Exactly we are decent when we want to be and they aren't that great. They've had all the luck in the world against us. Eventually that needs to change by the law of averages. Hopefully it's this weekend. We're capable. I'm confident in us because everyone thinks Celtic will win, as bizarre as that sounds.I just can't see it, technically we do have it in us to win there but the mentality of this team is always a hairs breadth away from crumpling and it's going to come under serious examination on Saturday.
That being said I really, really hope I am wrong.
Spot on. That's what happened at Ibrox when we put 4 in the net in the second half. If we stay in the game in the first half I think we'll beat them. Big Phil is really good at analysing the first half of a game and outing it to the players in the dressing room at HT aswell. We've seen that countless times with himWe already know their gameplay, the turncoat said as much after the last game there when he said, “We know when we come at them with that intensity they can’t handle it”.
They can’t play at that pace for 90 minutes, so we need to weather the storm in the first 15/20 minutes and take the sting out the game.
If we can go into the 2nd half level at the very least, we’ve got something to build from, but history has shown they will try to blow us away early and then spend the second half playing out time and mocking us.
That’s the thing , we need to be switched on from the the first whistle to have any chanceI sound like a broken record here, but if we defend properly we have every chance.
I get that sometimes there is nothing that can be done about a goal conceded, but, my God, we gift-wrap them nearly one a game.
Switch on from the start and keep our concentration level up and who knows?
Unless we beat Them 6 nil to go topIf we win on Saturday depending on scoreline I am guessing they would still be top with 2 games to go?
Because we're fine as underdogs. It's when the real pressure is on we fold and it's always the same players.Logic would say no.

Think 3-0 would put us top on Goal difference, as unlikely as it is.Unless we beat Them 6 nil to go top
3-0 takes us top. But even that’s never going to happen.Unless we beat Them 6 nil to go top
