Celtic to win and reduce the lead to 8 points then the pressure is all on Rangers. Celtic to win 2-1 C'mon Celtic.

Ah if only! nothing game and i don't really care. A draw

The league is over, so what pressure are you talking about?

Pressure on Rangers?! I very much doubt that!

The league is over, but at the end of the day you always want to your rivals, and Celtic have a point to prove. Their players have mouthed off all weekend about how they are "the better team"
Add in the Neil Lennon factor and i reckon we could see Celtic win by a couple today.

Just wait for the Chants of "We Dont Care" from the stands though! If recent attendances are anything to go by it could be the first time ever that Rangers fans outnumber Celtics!

I had tongue firmly in cheek Yeah i agree Hinkel should just shut up and get on with the game, i hope Lafferty gets a few 'tough' tackles tho how he is a professional footballer is beyond me.

lol yeah after re-reading your post i got that! Maybe the Old Firm tension is there after all!

As for Lafferty, hes a lovely young lad...whats the problem!

JPA

Isn't it unusual to have an evening Old Firm game? That's usually avoided I thought.

bluefinger

can see rangers winning this.

I don't care about the result tonight

Aye right I love to seeing Rangers beat them but I think the Tic will win it a lot of our players are probably already thinking of summer holidays.

Could well be interesting with some of the comments that have being flying about and I have a feeling if Novo plays he is going to get kicked up and down the park

Wouldn't surprise me if it was very low I know a lot of tic fans from here who would never miss a game and they are not going over for this

Not looking forward to this at all tonight...

I'm sure the rangers fans will have a few fun things up their sleeve.

What I've heard so far...

Newspapers (always funny!)

Doing the Conga.

Unfurl a banner at the start of the game when YNWA is being belted out and scarves are being held aloft... I heard what your banner will say it's something like "Raise your scarves for second place" or something along those lines!

What else is there?

How does Lennon set his side up? It will be his first ever Old Firm as a manager!

A Dub in Glasgo

Guaranteed we will get a last minute penalty just so they can can all say 'These things even themselves out during the season' or other such ****e

I can't see Celtic not winning, tbh. Lennon will be dying for a win in his first Old Firm as manager and the players will want to have a decent end to a terrible season.

3-1, Keane hat-trick.:P

Le King

Celtic 1-0 up.

Lee Naylor

3hn2givr7mx1sc

1-1.
Kenny fúcking Miller!:mad:

3hn2givr7mx1sc

2-1.
Fortuné.:D

Hatch99

Poor goal keeping for Celtics 2nd.

PauloMN

Louder cheer for Novo falling on his erse than for either goal tbh!

Rangers the better side in the 2nd half so far. Miller looking very decent it has to be said.

Daemos

Can anyone tell me why both keepers were substituted? It doesn't say on the BBC

Hatch99

Celtic definitely got the bit of luck they had been complaining about just now with that hand ball shout off ODea.

Headshot

dive ?

Both injured. McGregor twisted knee, and Boruc couple of broken fingers.

Eirebear

Miller could have had 5 tonight, but it wasnt to be.
Fortune was all over Smith for the second, but c'est la vie.

McCulloch was unlucky with his sending off, he was late but he never made any contact and McGeady went down in instalments. I missed the penalty claim.

What i did find interesting tonight is that we saw what sellik will look like under Lennon. From the word go, they surrounded the ref, whined moaned and hassled. They also had some fight about them though and if he is their manager next year i will not be underestimating them.

Never mind though, the team that wanted it more won. That not something i will argue....but we still dont care!

Lol, you sound like.... well.... us. We got the ref breaks tonight. Would love to have seen whether we'd have got the breaks had the league not been tied up.

In any case, one thing Lenny knows is what you need to do when playing 'ra Peepil in the SPL - a bit of their own medicine. Hopefully whoever is manager next season will continue with that when required.

Fortune's goal was perfectly good, as was his previous disallowed one. :rolleyes:

Not at all, your the one still being paranoid!

Just goes to show doesnt it, no such thing as a meaningless Old Firm!
