I'd like to chuck in my 2 pence worth for the old firm match. I've noticed that teams managed by Rodgers after European games struggle to get a result. I don't know how accurate my percentages are here but I'm happy to say that Rodgers has a 30% win ratio after a European game, this puts a lot of hope in me for Sunday, BUT only if Warburton picks a fast paced team. Celtic will want to go all out tonight and get a win, but to do that against the Germans they will need to give 100%, this will play massively into our favour. Celtic will attempt to do the same as they done against Man City. I still don't have the greatest amount of confidence for the Celtic match but looking at Rodgers and how he does after European games really does give you quite a bit of hope that we can win on Sunday.

What a load of tripe.

Fantastic input Djab, what is your reason for believing my point is a load of tripe?

I think you might be clutching at straws. They have won all there matches this season after euro matches apart from 1. Including a thumping 4 1 win against Aberdeen. He might of struggled in epl after Europe but he won't have that trouble in Scotland.

Yes this season so far Celtic have done fine after European matches, St Johnstone away (Near enough gave away a 3 goal advantage), Aberdeen at home easily won it, Dundee (weren't that impressive against a dreadful Dundee side) also Inverness they got a draw and looked very tired. That is my point here, 3 out of 4 games were very close scorelines against poor opposition. Most noticeable results are the ones after playing big teams. Inverness draw and 1-0 against Dundee. IF Celtic go all out tonight in the typical Brendan Rodgers fashion they will tire themselves out massively. Plus let's be honest here, in an old firm match you use a LOT more energy than any other match, you try a lot harder, and you run a lot more than any other game. Celtic will be tired, and we need to utilise this.

Borussia going to skelp Celtic tonight. City game was a fluke. Hazard brace or hattrick
Sunday is a different kettle of fish. Can't see us winning it but don't see it being like the last match. Will be a lot closer, prob 2-1 them. Which would be progress.

Very fair point, and as you said its more so about the midfield. I think we need to be on our toes and have Garner in there to rough up their centre halves and move in between the lines.
Looking forward to it anyways.

Can see Garner or Forrester, if they play, being sent aff.

just saying one thing guys no matter the result tonight we are nowhere near ready to give them a game, its simple they play better football than us with better players and grasping at straws saying oh they only have a 3 day break before the big game is Ludacris.
These are professional athletes in the first quarter of a season and no matter how hard they try tonight 3 days is plenty to recover from any game.
I hope i'm wrong though. but realistically I think they will hammer us again maybe a comfortable 3-1.
saying that because 3 in the middle of the park against them is just stupidity.

hope celtic do well tonight, monchengladbach are nothing special anyway.

its not just rodgers team its every team that plays midweek in europe but we should gain some advantage.

Do you know it's 30% or I'd that a guess? Whether it's 'tripe' depends on your answer.
I don't share your confidence, although I think we will make more of a game of it this time. (Hopefully)

Dishco Squad, it is 33.33% if you want to be specific mate. the other 66.66% were drawn or lost.
19 Oct 2016 16:13:11
The scale of the game will make it easier for selik to be up for it rather than coming bak to play a ict/ motherwell etc so don't see it being to much of an issue tbh.
19 Oct 2016 16:36:43
as long as there's no bullcrap from fans after the sun game ill be happy.
19 Oct 2016 17:29:14
Only show. i'm just checking if that was an i'm 99.99% sure pun? Difficult to work out lol.

I agree bhoy wonder I think that fans of both sides need to gro up and stop this rubbish wrecking toilets/ bringing your club to shame and fines is unacceptable.
also their behaviour with some of the banners and hanging fake rangers fans is disgracefull and the rest of the world see that .
we should yes be passionate but in a way that doesn't get our clubs into bother and on the back pages for the wrong reasons.
