[Official TC Thread] Celtic vs The Rangers, Scottish Cup Semi Final April 17th, 12pm SKY SPORTS 2

What was it Big Jock said about predicting a game against them?

(Yes, I'm aware they died blah blah blah)

Celtic win tho

 

Stick griff in a dark room and keep him there until this game.

 

Gordon is a better goalkeeper than Foderingham.

Mulgrew, Izzaguirre, Lustig, Sviatchenko- all better than Danny Wilson, Rob Kiernan and James Tavernier.

Bitton, Johansen and Brown are better than Jason Holt, Nicky Law and Andy Halliday.

Mackay-Steven, Roberts and Commons are better than Billy King and Michael O'Halloran

Griffiths is a better striker than Martyn Waghorn.

Anyone who thinks we won't win needs to catch a grip.

 

King and O'Halloran are cup tied I think. If we turn up we should gub them

 

Lee Wallace will be their main threat. And that says it all. Warburton will get them to attack us, and they are absolutely * at defending. I expect us to win by at least 3 or 4.

 

Think we'll pump them 4-1, I don't think there a good team at all, the fact they have the most expensive squad in the 2nd division playing a giant part time players they * think the are world beaters.

* then monkey *

 

Wouldn't be the first time under Deila that we lose against inferior opposition.

 

Kazim Richards will do something mental that gets him sent off but makes him a cult hero, calling it now.

5-0 Griffy hat trick

 

Aside from Wilson, Law & O'Halloran I've not heard of any of their team. Even then the * I have heard of played for Hearts, Motherwell & St Johnstone previously.

No big deal.

 

An occasion such as this is going to have our best players motivated in a way that they haven't been for most of this season.

Brown, Griffiths, Commons, Mulgrew and guys like that thrive on games like these. They've been there and done it before against the old club.

The fact that their old club got liquidated doesn't change the magnitude of these games, as we all know that the atmosphere, passion, hatred, tension and colour will be as profound as it always is. They still have the same rancid supporters.

As I said in the semi final draw thread, it will be closer this time around. We walked all over them with utter ease last year and could have scored 8 had we not taken our foot off the gas after half time, with the game already won.

They do have better players and a better manager this time around, but you know our lads will be up for it and that should be too much for the filth.

 

Billy King and Michael O'Halloran Cup Tied, Waghornpen I doubt will be fit

So Miller and Clark is who we should worry about theres a fair chance fake tans hamstring will go between now and then

No danger they are pish

 

Saw them a couple of times and Tavernier looked a player regardless we should comfortably win this one.

 

Should have a poll like this every game

 

Does Danny Wilson start for them?

 

King, O'Halloran... * me, I forgot they signed some of these absolute goons.

How can anyone be worried about the prospect of facing guys that they've signed from St Johnstone? Who have they got that we should actually be worried about?

Genuine question, as I'm having a quick look at their squad and there is literally no one that I could see being a valid threat to us. Obviously I haven't watched them in a good while.

I've heard Tavernier is decent, but when you look at the opposition he's been facing since he's been there, it's hardly impressive.

 

Hopefully Ronny let's Scott Allan run riot on them.

 

On the BBC website it says the game is on the Saturday at 3. Anything confirmed yet?

 

Aww naw. Monster Munch is predicting a Sevco win. We're doomed.

 

Can they televise 3pm Saturday kick offs? if not, then no chance.
