3-1 Bears .

Get at these fuckers from the first whistle Rangers and give us something to smile about. I want the rat bastard Naismith crying like a wee girl again at the end.

[blaudrup 5,551]

Ridiculously over-confident of win, based on basically nothing, which is how I like to roll.

Two first half goals, and a relaxing 2nd half with Lammers doing exhibition tricks like the Harlem Globetrotters.

Naismith to be demoted to Deputy Catering Co-ordinator after the match.

Huge test for us and another challenge to the mentality of the team.

Today should tell Clemente a lot about the squad and who has the mental toughness to remain here. We've fallen at this hurdle way too many times in the recent past, but i'm confident today.

I think I am 'reasonably confident', but I do still have some concerns about the mentality of many of our players.

It is a huge game for us and while I have great faith already in Phil, I just cannot get rid of that wee bit of apprehension. 

I hope I am totally wrong and we get through no problem.

I'm on my second Strongbow and getting more confident by the minute.

Nerves starting to kick in now, our record at Hampden in recent memory is nothing short of an absolute disgrace.

Based on absolutely nothing but a gut feeling I'm predicting a comfortable 3-0 win and a final to look forward to.

Which is why I am many others it seems are being cautious with regards to this game today. We have been let down at Hampden on so many occasions in recent times that it is understandable that the confidence we felt in previous eras no longer exists. Hopefully today can be the start of a dramatic improvement in outcomes at the so called National Stadium.

Aye it's got to the point that playing at Hampden just makes you fucking nervous no matter who we are playing or form or fucking anything.

Apart from Jack, that’s not too bad. Would rather Cifuentes beside Lundstram. 4-1 Gers. 

[Valance1690 3,947]

Would rather Ridvan in & the fact he can't play Thursday either it seems weird to bench him

Rest is as expected 

[bluenoz 31,276]

Harsh on Ridvan.
