They like Griffiths off the bench for impact and, much as they need the win, they know that a defeat leaves them (at best) a net ten points behind a team unbeaten in 22 games. “Taxi for Lennon” time. They could well play for the draw to keep their manager in a job. or they might even down tools to get rid of him but I think it’s all about us and I hope SG has us fired up and focussed and none of our players come off that pitch without giving everything they have due to the importance of what a home win can bring. Saturday is massive for us in terms of how 2021 can play out 🙏 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
6superbarry6 14,171 Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 We play the way we can and all our players give it their all then we win no matter what they do, we have better players than them all over the park been a long time since we’ve been able to say that.

Rlm 412 Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 Give Gerrard his due he made us harder to beat in all the derbies and we go into these games with more confidence and belief having won 4 of last 7. It was painful even unwatchable under pedro caxinha caravan. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluebell82 244 Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 They were obviously going to start winning again but i still think their frailtiies at the back are still there - with Barkas likely to be in goal and their weaknesses at centre back the stage is set for Kent, Roofe and Morelos to run riot. We have to get on the front foot from the start, they do still have quality going forward and as much as he is a rat - Griffiths seems to make a big difference for them. Turnbull is obv dangerous with his shooting, but if we control possession we limit his opportunities. As someone else mentioned, first goal is massive on Saturday - if we get it i think they could fold, if they get it i don't think we need to panic as we know we'll get chances. Even if we were to lose, its not panic stations - we're still well in command of the title race - all the pressure is on them and Lennon going into this game.

Mols94 3,669 Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 We've won 3 of the last 4 Old Firm's, including the last 2. If we put in our typical performance against the scum I'm confident we'll win. We need to cut out the sloppy passing that has creeped back into our game our the last month or so and we need to get back to pressing teams. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Camshy 812 Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 We simply have to win, not because we need to but because we have to show them their time of easy titles is over. We are finally in a position were things are normal on the playing side etc and the difference is staggering. Play our strongest team and go for their throats. Only thing thst concerns me is our dip in performance. Last few games haven't been quite as flowing but hopefully that's more down to opposition being ultra defensive. Im going 3-0 to the famous and wee Alfredo to finally break his duck with a hat trick. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

On paper and as you say previous form .We should be ok .It’s down to the mentality on the day .We have proved we are better than them And mentality is what some bears like myself are worried about .Get that right and it could be a great weekend every Rangers fan . And a poignant one as regards the 50 years and for the 66 🙏🙏🙏🙏 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarcusDa Beasley 1,039 Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 Caught myself a wee bit concerned about Turnbull yesterday then remembered we have Kamara and felt better. And, thinking about it, you can apply that same logic across our whole team. We’re better than them. We turn up focused and with a determination to put them in their place, we win.

Mols94 3,669 Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 In a way I hope they play Turnbull and Soro and the step up in quality + the pace of the match catches them out and they have a nightmare but on the other hand I want Brown to play because he slows them down.

GersInCanada 7,775 Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 Read that lemmon is playing a diamond at the moment. Should he try that against us Tav and Borna are going to have a field day bombing forward with all the space that will leave on the wings. They can't afford to give away free kicks in the final third. They can't afford to give away corners. Their defense will be unable to cope with sustained pressure or fast break aways. Play as we can and the 3 points are in the bag. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluebell82 244 Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 Lennon knows they have to win, so they have to be on the front foot, but he'll also know he can't trust his keeper/defence when they're under pressure. This all plays into our hands - i really do think if we play our usual game we win. If we lose i think it'll be an individual error or a goal out of nothing.

Like you say its a narrow formation and vulnerable to full backs pushing up. I guess it allows them to play 2 up and 4 at the back so kinda works for most spfl games, but i think a good team like us will cause them a lot of problems. Their wee run has been against no-one so hopefully a big step up in quality will unnerve them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueThunder 8,454 Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 I wish I was as confident as some on here but I’m not. I feel this one could go either way. Win and we may see them drop more points and Lennon may well go before February. Lose and we hand them all the confidence in the world. For the first time ever I might deliberately miss this one, then ask my partner if I should watch it when FT comes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
