    Form goes out the window in these games! History tells us this. It's who's up for it most on the day and that'll be us!

    Diamond and 2 up to show intent. I personally don't think it's a must win but they'd take the draw before us, whether they admit it or not. Same mentality as when Eddy kicked the ball from KO that time into their corner and said we're gonna play this on the front foot and in your half as much as we can. Make their full backs defend as much as we can and then they can't get forward. Other than the obvious defensive issues my main concern is Christie. If we're at it middle to front we've plenty to cause them all sorts of bother!

    It’s a definite must win, if our intention is to pick up a point and rely on others to do something against them then we are *.

    It’s down to us to stick a needle in their balloon, 3 points tomorrow is a lot more than just 3 points. It’s a marker, it’s the end of their undefeated run, it’s beating them in their own patch, it’s proving they’re not the team that folk are desperate to tell us that they are, it’s continuing our own momentum and winning streak.

    Exactly, that’s utter bullshit from the media that folk have started to believe.

    I have lost count of the amount of these games I've watched or been at. Infact I've never missed one either on TV or been at it since I was a young teenager(I'm now 40) I remember loads of times the team in form or odds on favorites getting humped. Tomorrow will prove this when we come out winners!

    The back four is the major concern.

    I think we should go with Frimpong, Ajer, Biton and Laxalt.

    Biton is better at controlling the ball and coming forward. Frimpong seems to have that low centre of gravity. Is everything we need coming forward. Laxalt I'm a big fan. We need to keep the ball on the deck, short sharp passes.

    Duffy would offer good threat from corners, However the hard man act failed spectuarly in the last game he seemed to get caught out often with their runs. So I wouldn't pick him. We don't need Brown either.

    Rangers don't play a lot of long balls. I don't think there's any need for Duffy. Biton has enough pace to intercept their runs and passes. Ajer will win the headers!

    Were going to go to Ibrox and play the Celtic way. It's no cauldron. There's no fans. We need to go and play Celtic way. And I believe Soro is the man man to win that Midfield battle.

    I think we'll beat them 3-0. I'm confident! There in for a shock this Rangers mob were going to outclass them while playing good football!

    A very good new year to all forum members . Our collective wellbeing would gain a massive lift if we were to come away from the Bigot Bowl with 3 points , no matter how we do it . Hopefully things that have failed to click so far this season , will drop into place , and we can start our campaign to keep a hold of the league trophy .

    We've got good moment. Free flowing football where going to school the * tomorrow on their own Turf. I'm telling you. I believe it to be true. They are the ones that will the flying late into tackles chasing our tail. We won't allow them to even get a touch of the ball. They'll be picking up cards left right and centre! We've got more class in midfield than them.

    James Tavenier is a loser captain. He doesn't know what a trophy looks like! We've got the Scottish Cup in the cabinet! They don't have anything! There losers. Second best rejects. There just keeping that top spot warm for us with their Fake News 16 point lead.

    Were going to dance around the *! 3-0 to the tic.

    If we play this back four it will be shooty in for Rangers. Long diagonals all day behind Frimpong.
