Guys big game on sat that's for sure so who will win that's the question and why are we so confident u all ask.
Well its pretty simple not so long ago your manager was McCoist and the football was pretty poor then along comes Warburton and he completely revitalises your team and your playing good football.
A complete transformation u all say, well that's what's happened with Celtic.
Under Deila the football was crap and boring now it is exciting to watch and we seem to blow away opposition (domestically) without too much trouble, the transformation is there for all to see.
So its a complete mirror image of what's happened last year or 2 and that's why we are so confident tho it doesn't mean we will win but that's the reason and the fact we just have better players.
Prediction? well let's leave that to the nutters lol as these type of games anything can happen.
But in IMHO no matter the result on sat Celtic will win the league.

on one hand your saying people are nutters for trying to predict the outcome of one game yet you are predicting what's going to happen in a years time based on a few games. Quality.
07 Sep 2016 20:11:26
I'm not asking, so your first sentence is factually inaccurate.

Calm down rayman 'blown away' 3 teams domestically and scraped through in Europe hardly cause for brenda to made a saint! Saturday will be fun!
07 Sep 2016 20:52:15
Easy to predict a long season Recbob but an individual game that's harder. Why u think the bookies make so much money lol.
By the way nicely avoiding discussing the actual game.
Wonder why.

With the exception of Sinclair and Toure, it'll be the majority of players who played in last season's semi final who'll line up for Celtic this weekend. Griffiths, Brown, Tierney, Lustig, Roberts, Rogic, Biton etc all failed to inspire against a weaker Rangers side last term. Installing a manager with zero accomplishments in his career thus far and signing a journeyman like Sinclair for 3.5/ 4m does not scare me personally. Conceding 4 goals over 2 legs against a weak outfit in the CL qualifiers and narrowly scraping through has been glossed over. Relying on a late winner against Hearts at Tyncastle is hardly blowing away opposition domestically either btw. Come Saturday the honeymoon period is over. there's games coming thick and fast and we know how Celtic deal with pressure. penalty shootout loss last season, 2 failed attempts at qualifying for Europe 2 season's ago. it's in the club DNA. helicopter Sunday along with numerous other final day shortcomings. Rangers are back, the pressure is on Celtic, the international break benefits us as I would have been more concerned dealing with Celtic after the result against Aberdeen a few weeks back but if we show the desire and ability that we have come Saturday I'm confident we'll prevail.

j1985.you call sinclair a journeyman, what about hill, barton, kranjaer, gilks, senderos. could you class wilson, haliday, holt, kiernan, waghorn journeyman also?
additionally what has warburton achieved in his career (a title in second tier of the scottish league)
narrowly scrapping though has given us the best part of 30 million once this season is said and done.
Reminding us all for the good of our health, Hamilton at home 1-1, late winner at home v motherwell, 1-1 against killie who had 10 men to 30 mins. these performances really do strike fear into me. can i ask seen as your team has been doing so well, is it 3 league wins in your last 11 league games?
and to cap it off, what about the scottish cup final, remind us all what happened, were did warbuton's magic hat get to?

j1985:
how does this sound, about right i guess?
the pressure between the fans relies soley with celtic fans as if celtic lose rangers fans will be shouting from every rooftop that "we are back" long live king, MW and DW, giving it the praverbial chants, if celtic win The Rangers fans will get the same stick that yous have been getting since yous were created in 2012.
on the pitch and more importantly on the players and clubs the pressure is 100% on rangers, and back to the very basic concept that is the league table, if rangers win they go 2 clear and celtic have a game in hand against partick at home so can quite afford ot slip up at this early stage.
if celtic win then its 4 clear points with that same game in hand and then The Rangers play aberdeen and ross county so potentially if they drop any points after sat it could be 9/ 11 points min they are behind and we won't even be in oct yet.
So i will ask you again, who is the pressure on?

Kaney as far as I'm concerned the past is the past. We have 11 new players trying to gel and if I'm not mistaken you lot have conceded the same number of goals as us having played a game less. I am in no way fearful of Celtic as long as we're creating chances with Gordon in goals I am more than confident of taking a couple. Best of luck on Saturday. No Surenderos.
08 Sep 2016 09:52:22
I don't get why a guy who doesn't believe the old firm is back and that rangers are no longer rangers is on a rangers site debating what will happen on Saturday?
put it this way we don't care what celtic fans wanna spout I get enough of that fae ma best mate for the last 4 years lol.
celtic are better than they where last season and we are not as good as we where last season yet!
sinclaire and the revitalized forrest do worry me but we have a few players that will be worrying some of your support aswell.
08 Sep 2016 11:50:04
You're worried by James Forest? A poor mans Aiden McGeady!
08 Sep 2016 12:27:02
@rayman99 - I fancy the score draw due to the fact Rangers are poor at the back but Celtic have frailties as a team when they concede.

For starters, a journeyman is someone who's not just been about but someone who's never excelled really. Compare Sinclair last season to Barton. Sinclair - fell out of the EPL without a whimper with Villa. Barton - pivotal in Burnley winning the championship and getting into the EPL. Hill and Co may have been about but I bet all our signings haven't equated to anywhere near the outlay on Sinclair.
As for the European performance. We're you happy with it? So often we hear fans say about players, it's not all about the money etc, etc. Yet you bring out the 30m like it's a trophy. I'm not having a business debate, my point was about footballing performance thus far.
I don't rate Rogers as a manager, he's done absolutly nothing to deserve the reputation he has and I've said that long before he was the boss of Celtic. Warburton took Brentford to the playoffs in the championship, came to Rangers when we were in a mess and totally transformed us, picked up a couple of trophies along the way and beat our biggest rivals in a cup semi final so if we're comparing Warburton and Rogers on actual success please inform me of what Rogers has done because I fail to see anything significant.
Also, your actually taking league form based on last season? Based on wins after we'd wrapped up the league? Means absolutly nothing as the job was done at that stage. The final was just one of those things, the better team won. we were hardly humiliated. Based on Celtics recent cup record I thought you'd appreciate that these things happen.

Kaney, the word if is very relevant in you're post eh, what IF we beat you, then win our 2 next games while youse lose you're next 2? do you, like a few others think we will have the league wrapped up?
