GRBear Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 OK might as well start a wee thread for this game as I'm sure there will be plenty of talking points, be it good or bad. Obviously we have no right to win this game as Celtic are far better than us just now, so all the pressure is on them to beat the weaker lower league team. In saying that I think because of the game it is, it will run closer than many think and we may just get a result from this game. Come Sunday at 2.30pm that will probably not be the case but we can dream eh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That being said, I don't think I've ever seen Rangers priced at 8/1 so I'll be having a couple of quid on it but it's more out of blind faith than anything else!

Aye was going to include Rangers in a £1 longish shot acca for a laugh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squirrelhumper Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Can't see past a 3 or 4 goal win for Celtic. Ideally I'd like to see a 6-0 win or a controversial last minute 1-0 Rangers win. Purely for seethe value. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cove_Sheep Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Not my fault the fans can't behave. Were you also hoping they would take the lead against Hearts just prior to the match being abandoned? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Us Killie fans think alike! As much as I would enjoy Rangers getting a humping, a win for them would have a major lol factor... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perthTam Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Cannot see past a Celtic win here. Willie Hills had them at 1/3 earlier this week which got quite a few quid thrown at it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShedTA Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 depends on the saturday game. if we win then I hope rangers win as playing them in the final is preferable. if we lose I dont care really - will probably watch it just out of fascination at the levels to which supporters of the game can sink.

sbcmfc Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 A lot of folk saying they're not looking forward to this, it's not been missed etc etc. I'll be glued to it, it's car crash TV, the football is normally terrible, but they rarely pass without a few talking points.

Kenneth Farrington Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 As we were talking about in the other thread, it's hard to make any case for Rangers. They'll be forced to camp so deep & will just keep launching the ball when they get it. There'll be nothing to hit up top (whoever they play) and nothing supporting from midfield, so it'll just keep coming back. They don't have a keeper or defenders to take a battering in the hope of sneaking something from a corner or free kick. I'm pretty sure the standard of game will be eye watering. Hampden is a terrible pitch at the best of times, but it's going to be in some state after the game on Sat & given the weather. I also expect plenty of "robust" challenges from the Rangers players, so it's unlikely you'll see more than 3 or 4 passes. Hopefully it all passes off quietly, but I can't see it.

sbcmfc Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 I'm going for a 2-1 Rangers win. I have a feeling we can somehow sneak this one. I can't see it myself. Like Kenneth said, Rangers don't have the quality in defence to soak up pressure from celtic, or have the players or pace to hurt them on the counter attack. It's not like the Walter Smith era (1st time) where you have a Goram (Simonsen ) or guys like Gough (Moshni ) at the back, and you certainly don't have an out ball to Laudrup (law) or Gascoigne (black ). Celtic's recent inability to convert chances is the one saving grace for Rangers. Although having seen Celtic a few times, if they were to convert more chances, someone will be on the end of a 6 or 7-0. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pool Q Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 (edited) Having watched Hearts against both this season Iogic would point to a Celtic win by 5 or 6. Rarely works like that though, and I guess Rangers will hope that a combination of getting stuck into Celtic and Rangers' usual hoofball will drag an already ordinary Celtic down to their level. 3-1 Celtic is my prediction. Real winners this week are the media. Edited January 28, 2015 by Pool Q Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
