Hoping rangers win here. Their fans celebrate it like it's the greatest result of all time and have a warm glow all January that they've turned a corner. Gerard is hailed as the saviour and is 'quietly confident'.

After the break, they go back to being the very average side they've been all season, and slide back down to mid-table obscurity. But they're stuck with the manager and squad they've got for the rest of the season.

Celtic implode on the back of finally losing to the enemy, big fall outs, spunk £9m on one player who gets injured straight away and misses the rest of the season. They end up 3rd.

And out of the smoke and confusion rise the good guys of Scottish football, St Johnstone, slowly and quietly rising like a Phoenix from the flames to win the title.

BBC sport give it a one line mention.

 

If not, a battle where 3 players from each team get sent off amidst flying tackles and scraps all over the park, and a draw is the result with not an ounce of football played.

Will be strange being away over the festive season for this game, but could be a blessing given the way we have been playing. Wasn’t at the game yesterday either, but reading the match reports doesn’t inspire much confidence. Guess they’ve not been hitting the heights either recently but they’re still getting the results that matter. We’re still a long way off closing the gap, a point might be unambitious, but reckon it’s as much as we can hope for. Feels shite settling for that, whilst we’re sitting in 2nd spot facing that lot on our own park, but it’s where we’re at.
Still dreading that it turns out a lot worse! F*cking hate watching this game(these days)through clasped fingers.

In all seriousness, the way this will pan out will be one of two ways.

Scanario 1 is, as is most likely, a Celtic victory which will be followed in the immediate aftermath by their players celebrating in front of the corner where their 800 supporters are. Laps of honour and scarfs being tied to a goalpost may also occur as well. The Rangers support will be enraged by this and some of them will go into 'haud me back' mode in the stands before a statement containing a big, long, fancy word is issued the next day, along the lines of "could have caused social unrest, a riot, exemplary restraint in the face of insurmountable provocation".  All of this will result the vast majority outwith Rangers and especially on social media finding this absolutely hilarious and will probably go some way to make up for things should the team they actually support lose on the same day.

Scenario 2 is Rangers getting any sort of positive result, a 0-0 draw or more especially an unlikely win. In which case the aftermath will be filled with tales of Celtic fans coming under attack from 49000 sectarian bigots, fear for their kids and wives safety and there will be calls for government intervention along with much greetin and whining on forums like this. BBC Scotland's sportscene highlights will consist of seven minutes focussing on a penalty Rangers got/Celtic didn't get, two minutes of actual highlights and one minute of Brendan Rodgers giving a head shaking sermon. 

Then we will head into the New Year and the winter break.

Yep, that pretty much sums it up to a tee! End of thread![emoji846]

Celtic and **** combined 11 picked by Stewart, Stubbs, Wilson and Rae

 

 

Mcgregor

 

tavenier

goldson

benkovic

tierney

 

brown

mcgregor

 

forrest

rogic

kent

 

morelos

 

Stubbs picked tavenier and Daryl currie asked if he had targeted him in a cup final, Stubbs replied “yes”. [emoji4]

 

 

Edit - A centre half who played every one of Belgium’s group games at the last World Cup or a Brighton dud with a dodgy ticker? Tough choice, I think they got it right.

A combined XI should have 8 Celtic players minimum. McGregor I'd have over Gordon and arguments can be made concerning Tavernier and Morelos. Goldson and Kent, no thanks.

Onto the game, hopefully Tierney is fit as I wouldn't fancy Izaguirre or Hayes at left back.

Assuming he is, I'd go with:

Gordon

Lustig
Boyata
Benkovic
Tierney

Brown
Christie
McGregor

Forrest
Edouard
Sinclair

2-1 Celtic

The Rangers* support, will have left with 20 mins to go, as you well know.

I think that would depend on the scoreline. If Celtic are running riot and are 2, 3, 4, 5 or more goals ahead going into the latter stages then yes you're right, most of them will have left by the end reducing the the chances of a repeat of their 'haud me back' antics after the Parkhead game in September. If it is close or in the balance and they lose out then you'll see a bigger scale meltdown from the Rangers fans to Celtic's players 'exuberance'.
