Celtic v Rangers 20th Feb

Its going to be a harder game because of the confidence they've just built up winning 6-0 yesterday. But as usual form goes out the window and if we play the way we did last Sunday we should win. Hopefully Rognes fit but if not I think Lenny will go with...

Forster​

Wilson - Maj - Mulgrew - Izzy​

Broony - Kayal - Ledley - Ki - Commons​

Hooper
​

Would love an early goal because I think if we started well, scored early and maybe grabbed one again before half time they would collapse.​

 

Dunno about anyone else, but I'm feeling good about this one. That's the first time in * knows how long we've been to Ibrox twice in a row without losing. One win, one draw so far. We've got them on our own patch this time and if we keep playing the way we've been playing for the last three months, we'll hammer them.

I'll go for this team next Sunday:

Forster

Wilson Rogne Majstorovic Izaguirre

Brown Kayal Ledley Commons

Stokes Hooper


Same team as today basically, with a fully fit Thomas Rogne drafted back in for Charlie Mulgrew.

No need to play 4-5-1 against them, just attack them from the kick off, try and get an early goal or two. They won't know what'* them.

 

we need be solid like first game at ibrox, smith could have canny plan too get one over us, it must win game for them, so let c how game goes, we were very dodgy second half today and if dundee were half decent we could lost today, no derby game is easy, even in cup game, we had all off ball but diddn't really cut them open or create too many decent chances, let keep it solid at back and c how we get on, thursday game wont affect rangers, the buzz off old firm game will give them energy after hard game thurs, here hoping we get good result and go 8 points clear, rangers played bad past 2 old firm, i thought they be as bad this time around,

 

With all the hype from us being on great form its a * cert that it's a boring 0-0 draw,lol,

 

Going to be a tough game, no doubt about it. However, as I said in another thread, I'm feeling pretty confident going into this one, more so than usual. Paradise will be buzzing again after the form we've been on lately and I really do hope it continues. A win over them next Sunday will boost their confidence even more (if that's possible).

If we beat them next weekend, it also means that we're two points ahead of them in the table, even if they win both of their games in hand. From then on in, the only thing we have to do is win every remaining game and we have ourselves a league title

 

i really cant wait for this, we need to go out early and score, and not be sloppy at the start like at ipox, if we get an early lead they are there to be humped. I think Lenny should go with the 4-4-2

 

Bring them on Thread Merged to here.

 

Juarez to Crosas - "February 6th Rangers-Celtic (Cup) Celtic-Rangers February 20 (League) March 20 Celtic-Rangers (League Cup final). Who wants a Barça-Madrid??"

 

C'mon the hoops get right into this * next week

 

Would like to see 4-4-2 and Rogne at CB.
Any victrory will do.

 

Been thinking the same

Every time sammy is on they can't handle his flick ons, his movement or pace. I wouldn't grumble of lenny went 4-5-1 with commons off the striker again.

Nervous already. I think the huns will start Bartley an Weiss this time and Jelavic up top and hit us on the counter.

 

same starting 11 as today stokes must start as he is on fire at the moment smaaras is someone who can change the game from the bench.

 

To me Old Firm games are won in the Midfield so I think Lenny might line up a 4-5-1 again, and too be honest I wouldn't mind seeing that. Without McCulloch the Dark Side's midfield are not great at breaking up play and we could totally dominate them and cut off all service to Jelavic who lets face it is a very good striker. So basically key to this game is boss the midfield and cut Jelavic adrift from the rest of the team. I'll take any win but hoping for 3 points and a good display.

 

we'll win, * them.

they're pish and no 6-0 wins over a diddy team will fool me, same team as today!!

 

We don't look like losing anymore, even when United scored today, we scored 2 (1 offside)

 

can't wait for this :icon_mrgreen:

mon the * hoops get intae these scummy orange *

 

on the SSN SPL page , the huns are saying naismiths hamstring injury isn't serious (he was subbed yesterday as a precaution)..

They might not be breaking yet but they are definately starting to creak..

 

Would love to be as confident as others on here but it's an Old Firm game and anything can happen. I would definately pack the midfield and if Rogne's fit have him at the back and play Mulgrew in midfield.We could do with his hieght at set pieces if he's not taking them. Again I would play Sammy upfront being supprted by Commons but then again i'm not the manager and will get right behind Lenny and the team no matter what formation he plays. I will be delighted with anything other than a defeat. C'mon the hoops

 

Forster
Wilson Maj Mulgrew Izzy
Broon Kayal Ledley Commons
Hooper Samaras

Can't * wait! I wish it was tomorrow! I just cant get enough!

 

All this talk of Rangers starting to creak with suspensions and injuries piling up, it's irrelevant. After seeing our performances on the pitch over the last three months, I'm now confident that we have assembled a strong enough unit to cope with whatever comes our way and win the title on our own. We are scoring goals for fun right now and have been since the 9-0 demolition of Aberdeen (excluding a couple of drab performances at home, which can be excused now).
