Official TC Rangers v CELTIC Match Thread

i think o dea's injured mate but i like the look of that team, although theres not a lot of height in it

 

Mon the HOOOOOOOPS

I won´t predict a score this time and hope we win. I´d be happy with a tie, too. Anything but a loss.

Boruc
Hinkel - Caldwell - Loovens - Naylor
Naka - Hartley/Robson - Crosas - McGeady
Skippy - Samaras

 

its kl though loovens seems to win every header from a corner anyway lol

 

Never knew O'Dea was injured...replace him with Naylor and stick Wilson (if fit) or Ferry on the bench.

 

For the record WGS will be able to add another feather to his bow if Celtic beat Rangers on Saturday to make it an away double in the same season.
It will be only the 3rd time it has happened since the premier devision started in season 75/76. Only Billy McNeil in 83 on O'Neil in 03 have achieved this feat, something 8 other managers couldn't do, so heres hoping.

I had heard big Jock had achieved this as well but when looking through old archives, the record proved otherwise. his best was a win and a draw in season 76/77. ( he only had 3 years on the new set up).

Lets hope the players keep that in mind when going out to do their job on Saturday.

 

2 possible setups here. in both situations i'm assumin mick and robson are not fit.

1

...............................boruc..............................

hinkel................caldwell..............loovens...........naylor

naka/maloney.......crosas........hartley...........mcgeady


........................jvoh................skippy................


2

same kepper and defence.

.................................crosas..............hartley..........................
maloney.....................................................................mcgeady
...........................................naka.......................................

........................................skippy......................................

and if mcnaus is not playin i would give armband to caldwell.

 

I liked how well the 4-2-3-1 worked away in Europe - we were unlucky not to get results using it. Good idea.

 

this will be the skippy n shaun show

 

looks good to me mate

 

Can't wait for the game of the season, a win would be game over for the huns, i'd be happy with a draw but if we lose i'm not giving up the league till the very end. Loovens & crosas to start, that will fill me with confidence & C'MON THE HOOPS.

 

im very confident folks, weve has a decent results bar the 1st old firm this year, Only thing that im worried about happenin at Piggery is catching the swine flu. Cmon the Hoops

 

thats the spirit, i'll see you in peadars for the celebration after jay

 

clagan hows the form lad, havent been on in quite a while. Lost internet at work but just got it back after a few months of heartbreak. lol. Aye will be in paedars on saturday for defs, you coming down at the weekend

 

yeah mate we haven't spoke in ages, i'll be there all right buddy. mightn't be down till after the game though.

was up last weekend too for the jazz festival, great craic. you go to any of it yourself?

 

naw did i *, not into that craic. ill not even see you anyway because its my daughters birthday so after the game ive booked the fun factory for 3oclock so i cant be late. was supposed to be at 12 but told the girlfriend they phoned and cancelled it as it was overbooked after the fixtures were annunced. hahaha

 

* peadars then i'm going to the fun factory with you, i'll see you in the ball pool!:icon_mrgreen:

hope the wee ghirl has a great birthday mate

 

I like this line up. Hartley and Crosas sitting and Naka, McGeady and Maloney taking turns as the 2nd striker.

 

Just saw on SSN that Papac is out. Good news.

 

Good news with papac out as you say Messi.
