Yes we have it in us. We will win if the officials don't cheat us. AGAIN!!!!!
Still think the goal that was ruled out played a massive part in the draw at Ibrox. 2-2 at that stage and we would have been full of confidence. Instead there was a bit of a lull in our performance after that.Like the rest of us, I will be sitting watching, obviously hoping for a win.
Reality is, i fear we could be on the end of a beating.
I said at the time, we blew it at Ibrox, we had to beat them there.
They now have everything in their favour.
Agreed, a win and it’s realistic (nailed on). A draw and it’s a possibility.They can, but most likely won't.
If we've to have a 'realistic' shout of winning the league, we have to win.
Barring a red card I can’t see this at all. Our record against them is crap, but all 3 games against them this season have been tight.Like the rest of us, I will be sitting watching, obviously hoping for a win.

The two at Ibrox were tight. first one, everyone agreed they were there for the taking, with a patched up defence. we failed to take advantage. couple weeks ago, we all know what happened.Barring a red card I can’t see this at all.

I think this weekend will be tight as well, just hopefully tight in favour of us this time
ThisWe scored 4 goals against them in that 2nd half at Ibrox, yes one was disallowed but they didn't know that at the time. They know we can hurt them as much as they can hurt us.
Go there with big gonads we have nothing to fear, go there weak and timid we will get obliterated.
I’m a fan of Lawrence, he has an eye for goal and can put himself about in challengesIt's making me sick writing this but their midfield 3 of hatate o reilly and mcgregor are better than we have at present.
For me I think Lawrence has to be in there he has a lot of experience.
I really hope we have 4 in there Diomande Lundstram Lawrence and Sterling it gives us a chance.
Cantwell off Silva or Dessers .
Would mean 3 at the back but we should be capable of that.
Here's hoping would warm my heart to snatch the league from those scumbags.
Nothing. However, saying “get intae they basturts” also accomplishes nothingI just don’t see what saying things like this accomplishes?
Too many of our fans are in denial when it comes to this. The reality is that they are comfortably better than our midfielders and if all 3 are on their game on Saturday it will be very difficult to get even a draw.It's making me sick writing this but their midfield 3 of hatate o reilly and mcgregor are better than we have at present.

Agree with that.The two at Ibrox were tight. first one, everyone agreed they were there for the taking, with a patched up defence. we failed to take advantage. couple weeks ago, we all know what happened.
first game at CP though, they were all over us and relaxed when so far ahead that we got back into it imo.
our record at CP is atrocious also. it all points to a relatively straight forward tim win.
we need to pull a rabbit from somewhere imo.
They nearly blew a 2 goal lead in the 2nd half in the last game at Ibrox it was hardly a tactical masterclass. If we get the win on Saturday they'll turn on Rodgers again.Agree with that.
If we're being honest, Rodgers has shown himself to still be a really good tactician in these games. Can't help but notice how well they were set up and pressed us both times at Ibrox.
I never said it was a tactical masterclass.They nearly blew a 2 goal lead in the 2nd half in the last game at Ibrox it was hardly a tactical masterclass. If we get the win on Saturday they'll turn on Rodgers again.
They weren’t all over us at new year they were kicking the ball out the park just before half time and were rocking there crowd was also getting on there back , I would say they were marginally the better team in that game and scored 2 very well taken goals , dessers should of equalised at 1-0 though they scored at perfect time in second half to get 2 goal lead .Agree with that.

For the first 60-65 minutes they were all over us.They weren’t all over us at new year they were kicking the ball out the park just before half time and were rocking there crowd was also getting on there back , I would say they were marginally the better team in that game and scored 2 very well taken goals , dessers should of equalised at 1-0 though they scored at perfect time in second half to get 2 goal lead .

Disagree both teams were piss poor , we had chances aswellFor the first 60-65 minutes they were all over us.
That's fine. I don't know how you can honestly watch that game and see anything else.Disagree both teams were piss poor , we had chances aswell
We had more shots on goal than them despite playing with 10 men for 20 mins yet they were all over us ?? They were marginally the better team but certainly wouldn’t say they were all over us . Standard like every game this year was rank rotten macgregor had a great first half and kyogo scored a belter.That's fine. I don't know how you can honestly watch that game and see anything else.
Our best period came with about 15 to go when we looked like we might sneak a draw.
The difference will be up front, they are stronger unfortunately.It’s the lack of pace in the team that concerns me more. Injuries to Sima and Matondo have seen to that. Still don’t think there’s much between us and them though.
I don't know what it is you're disputing here mate? You've said yourself they were the better team and they had their best period for the first 60-65 minutes.We had more shots on goal than them despite playing with 10 men for 20 mins yet they were all over us ??

You said they were all over us that to me indicates we were rarely in the game when it was anything but, doesn’t matter anyway mateI don't know what it is you're disputing here mate? You've said yourself they were the better team and they had their best period for the first 60-65 minutes.
For that period I'd say they were passing round us with ease with our best period coming in the last 15.
It's next to nothing what we're even supposedly disagreeing about.
Is that actually true for the current group of players we have?this group of players have beaten far, far better teams than celtic
They have been as poor as us this year, we have weak minded playersAre we? We've got a better keeper, both defences are garbage, their midfield is better and so is their attackers.
Betis would scud celtic just now mate. Also, i do agreed that there are differences between the playing squads of the seville run and now but it doesn’t stop people using generalisations like ‘shitebags for 6 years’ etc without taking into account hoe many new players are in the squad now that are yet to shite anything given the treble is there to be played for.Is that actually true for the current group of players we have?
The last "far, far better team than Celtic" we beat was probably PSV in the summer of 2022.
From the team that played that day, the only five players available for this weekend are Tavernier, Barisic, Lundstram, Lawrence and Wright.
I understand why you say it because the Europa League final run feels like yesterday still.
But there has been a lot of player turnover in the two years since then. Most of the current group we have are still to beat a really really good side in my book.
Real Betis are better than Celtic and that was a big win for us under huge pressure. But Betis came third in that group behind Sparta Prague and they're currently 7th in La Liga. They're not the same level as Dortmund, RB Leipzig or PSV.
The current squad we have are fairly inexperienced as a group when it comes to playing really top opposition.
Luckily it's only Celtic we have to beat this weekend who certainly are not a really top side.
Agreed, sadly.I'd be pleasantly stunned if this group of players take anything from there on Saturday.
Every area of our team has serious issues and weaknesses.
My expectations are set very, very low.
