29 Aug 2016 18:17:55

Sparky1888,don't be too cocky before the result my friend, remember we played use absolutely off the park in our scottish cup semi back in april when all we heard from you lot leading up to the game was how many goals you were going to win by, I've been going to old firm games for nearly 40 years now and in my experience you never take nothing for granted, you're the home team and the favourites rightly so but that doesn't mean we've no chance! Do you lot never learn? What gives the famous glasgow rangers a fighting chance is that you're defence is also not very good, what will be will be and bring it on! Again you're lot are expected to win but watch for that possible goose egg all over your face!

and what will the rangers fans excuse be if Celtic do hammer them?
i see a lot of The Rangers fans spouting about winning, spouting about how rangers have improved and Celtic haven't. yet i see very little from Celtic fans mentioning a hammering.
and you know why this is? its because we as Celtic fans just see it as another league game at home (which should be a routine victory) . the 10th should be a straight forward SPL league game, win lose draw doesn't really make a huge difference at this stage, and seen as The Rangers have been poor for the last 5 months (barring the best played draw ever in the SC semi, lol) 12 days is not going change that, there will be no massive turnaround, The Rangers will drop more points than Celtic over the course of the next 33 games, hence the reason have us as heavy favourites to win the league.
by the way can i ask how many games crooks and windass have played for yous, because going on what i have read you would think yous have cannavaro and batistuta on the sidelines.

I think the current Celitc team is better than the one we faced in the semi final. Yes there defence is suspect however they are very good going forward in Scotland and can break with pace. I worry about our defence who couldn't handle Boyd let alone Griffiths, Sinclair and Forrest.
29 Aug 2016 20:07:07
celtic may beat us, you have a far superior budget, bigger squad and have invested heavily. but we heard all the same crap in April when we stuffed yous.
29 Aug 2016 20:13:28
Kanye 1983 - you say that the next old firm game should be routine yet Celtic struggled to beat Apoel beer shava and the goals that Celtic lost to Apoel and st Johnstone were shocking! So Celtic aren't perfect either!
29 Aug 2016 20:36:00
We're still to find out form but we're still better than the imps so we have a chance.
29 Aug 2016 20:58:33
Just a other league game eh? How much are you lot punting tickets for this "straight forward league game"?!
Absolute roaster of a man!
Celtic SHOULD win, Celtic SHOULD have won the Scottish Cup semi final. pressure is on the reigning champions.
29 Aug 2016 20:07:41
you say that as if Kris boyd isn't the top spl goalscorer, ever.
29 Aug 2016 21:49:30
I seem to remember the semi final was a draw, and Rangers won on penalties.
How many games have Rangers won since that, and to compare the 2 is just rediculous, Celtic have got rid of their 1 plan manager, Rangers haven't.
Recbob, how do you know your better than the imps, or beer sheeva?
29 Aug 2016 21:27:58
The excuse i will use is how on earth did celtic manage to fill their stadium.
29 Aug 2016 20:25:38
a 2-2 draw and losing on pens is hardly a stuffing. rangers played better admittadley but i could argue Celtic had the more clear cut chances.
at the end of the day its a different team, different style, different manager. and also what about the 2-0 game at hampden when mccoist was in charge, celtic never got out of second gear.
celtic have spent approx 4 mill on players and sold approx 3 mill of players, also the wages going on the incoming manager and players is mostly subsidised by the free'd up wages from the many players who have left.
has The Rangers not spent approx 2.250 mill on player? 1.8 garner, 250k dodoo, 250k rossiter and 250k on crooks and windass. not to mention wages for kranjaer barton ect, and also did warburton not recieve a big increase this season?
29 Aug 2016 21:47:00
lol, oh the venom, rangers are struggling, YES, Why, well according to your fans you have new players and they need time to gel, well celtic have new players, a new manager, a new system and they also need time to gel, but they have been geling whilst navigating our way to the champions league and have routinely beat hearts and aberdeen, and i said celtic fans are taking it as a routine league game, the club have set the prices for tickets as they know the rangers fans will pay it, its a business at the end of the day.
and THAT semi last year, well the game fin 2-2 and you won on pens. what happened after that game for the rangers? you stuttered over the fin line in your league and hibs beat you within 90 mins to win the cup. iv'e never seen a semi final win celebrated so much.
29 Aug 2016 21:53:49
"Jason brown" i did say the game against the rangers is a routine league game, which it is. if we lose i can deal with that, can you live with it if yous lose, or will the knives be out for warbuton and co?
Harpoel BS was not a league game, it was a play off over 2 legs for approx 30 million pounds. so the pressure, the environment and the atmosphere were on a different level to a standard league game which the 10th is.
if we lose on the 10th it won't cause much of a ripple as the PRESSURE as you put it is not as high as you think, remember we play BARCELONA 4 days later in Europes Biggest Club Competition so the 10th doesn't really measure up to that. Celtic will achieve more league points than rangers over the course of the season and that is all that matters.

"j1985"
Roaster am i, well can i ask you, the 10th is a league game, Yes or No. that's as straight forward as it gets, its not a knock out play off that away goals matter is it?
no its a league game, the 5th league game for The Rangers and the 4th for Celtic.
so i am calling you a roaster for acting like it is something more. by the way the reason the tickets are £49 is because the rangers will pay it, it is a business at the end of the day.
a business that Celtic seem to be thriving in, unfortunatley the same can't be said for the Rangers.
