calum_gers Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 I can't see anything other than a heavy defeat for us.It's been as low key a build up as I can remember, which speaks to how one sided it is expected to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just a case of how many. I'd like to see a better showing against them, obviously, but our defence going up against their forward line gives me the fear.

What I would like to see as the starting XI Gordon Tierney-Sviatchenko-Simunovic-Lustig Brown-McGregor Sinclair-Armstrong-Roberts Griffiths What we will most likely see Gordon Tierney-Sviatchenko-Boyata-Lustig Brown-Bitton Sinclair-Armstrong-Roberts Dembele Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not, then it will either be Senderos or Wilson? Who is the least shite of those two? Key area for Celtic will be Sinclair, Armstrong in the attacking mid role and Dembele. They have ripped Rangers apart in that area in every game so far. For Rangers to do anything it will be about Miller forcing a mistake which is plausible, or Hyndman, McKay and Wallace getting at Lustig if he plays. Celtic should win easily but the previously mentioned first game for Macari was played in similar circumstances. Celtic weren't given a chance there.

senorsoupe Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 I have a question for Rangers/Sevco fans. Is Kiernan really better than Danny Wilson? I know Wilson has had injury problems but from what I have seen of him this season he hasn't been as atrocious defensively as Kiernan. Maybe Warbo and Murts have seen something I have missed.

Flybhoy Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 Celtic used to get half the enclosure at Ibrox in the 70's and 80's, I can fondly recall being pelted with coins & lit cigarettes from the mutants above in the main stand, we even got a small section of the Govan stand a few times, back in the days when the 'loyal' were not overly keen in packing out the Asbestos Arena to watch such talents as Hugh Burns and Gregor Stevens, when the fixture was played at Celtic Park they were given a third roughly of the main stand. Rangers (RIP) cut our allocation about 1989 if I recall correctly giving us just the Broomloan and Celtic responded by stopping giving them the section of seats they had before.

Flybhoy Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 Celtic come from 2-0 down at half time at Ibrox to win 4-2 in 1983 in Charlie Nicholas' last game for the club (first spell) with a couple of thousand Celts in the Govan Stand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flybhoy Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 A classic 'get it up ye' celebration from Roy Aitken after he scored the third goal as Celtic win 3-1 in 1981, dont the bears in the main stand at CP look happy..??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aren't you a Stirling Albion fan who went home and away to nigh on every SAFC game around that time, and even used to write for the fanzine? I'm curious how on here you act like the world's biggest Celtic fan. I get people can like 2 teams but this seems a bit extreme. Stirling Albion played Celtic twice in the early 90s. Once at hampden (0-3) and once at Firhill (0-2). Who were you supporting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Roy decided to get this done by himself rather than pass to McGarvey who probably would have ballooned that over the bar. Yep even from that distance shown in the frozen image above and with that wide open goal with no one near him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The main shockerooni I remember was the 3-2 win for Oldco in 2012 when we had a chance to win the league at Ibrox. I recall Cha and Wanyama both being sent off and Rangers going 3-0 up. Didn't really see the 2-0 game at Ibrox where Samaras ran riot coming either. Still tend to think these are the exceptions that prove the rule that the favourites almost always win these fixtures. I'll be interested to see if Rangers sit in and try to nick goals on the break. They don't have the personnel to go toe to toe with us but I'm not sure that they have the personnel to sit in either.

I was at both games you mention in the Albion end, still go to the Albion about 5 to 10 games a season when Celtic are playing Sunday and the odd midweek game.
