Plus they still have their remarkably low interest rate loans to clear in two to three years time.

[Scott1872 862]

There's no chance they're flush. They got 2 million + For Johansen, 2 Million sell on fee for Wanyama, 1 Million for Scepovic plus wages freed up for cole, stokes, kazim Richards, and whoever they sent on loan.

We weren't even in the league last season and they spent the exact same as they did on Sinclair on a crocked centre half, that Simunovic, so they've hardly went out and done anything special, I think we spent more this window tbh because what they got in transfer fees is basically what they spent.

Both of us have decent keepers, nothing outstanding but Atleast fod is comfortable playing out from the back, something Rodgers would love.

Our right back is improved on his defending, has fantastic crossing ability and as good as anyone in Scotland at free kicks, they've got better first team CB's atm, Wallace over Tierney for me personally.

Our midfield is actually miles better than there's, they would have turned up in there thousands last night had they signed Barton. Callum McGregor is rotten, bitton is a shite bag who's hated by his own fans, brown is done, 100%. Rogic is just a luxury player also and commons is a fat cunt.

Upfront they're dangerous but so are we and I don't get this whole they can score plenty against us, McKay Waghorn and garner will terrorize defences on form.

I look at it this way mate: They might be ahead of us (its up for debate just how far, obviously) but they need a league win and another CL qualification to maintain it. We are being hamstrung by revenue streams being strangled, once that stranglehold is loosened we will bridge the gap (big or small).

We don't win the league fair enough it will be gutting, no doubt but that's about all the damage it will do.

They don't win the league and the slope gets slippery. Very very slippery.

Either they stay where they are and we continue to rise or they start slipping and we continue to rise.

The only downside is they seem to have hit form, I have no doubt had we hit the same form and got a decent CB in they would be imploding going into this game next week, if our players turn up it will be close

If our players turn up it'll be a slobber knocker. Celtic are shit under pressure and if we control the midfield like there's no tomorrow they'll have nothing to grasp too bar Corners and free kicks.

I'm hoping Senderos will help us there

We must start with MoH

Exactly mate, they have loans from the co-op to the tune of £20m I believe, well below market value as well, scum bags

I am sure I read that it was a £35million low interest loan from the co-op that they took out the same day that they done a cheap land deal,  I think it was with east Dumbarton shire council.

Orange Halloran, Forrester, Waghorn, Windass, McKay, Tavernier, Garner, Rossiter, Wallace, Tavernier, Wilson, Senderos and Wes. 

Barton on, Rossiter off

Holt on, Windass off

Miller on, Waghorn off

It stinks mate and all the authorities who have the power to do anything have ignored it

He certainly wants that and the fact Gordon is wholly incapable of it forced him to spend on a keeper, who at the weekend vs Aberdeen, tried to play out from the back and was lucky the Aberdeen player fluffed his lines or they'd have been down 2-1

They are worse than the bloody mafia, problem is they are infestations of them in public and civil services through out Scotland.

I wouldn't say historically - but certainly in recent history both Rangers & Celtic's styles of play couldn't have been more different. Under Smith's second regime I felt we were built round a solid defence, we had 4 defenders who were reliable and knew what it took to get us over the line. Celtic during this time built a squad who's intent was to attack teams non stop throughout the game, which cost them countless amounts of points.

Now for the first time since I can remember, both teams play an almost identical way, Warburton & Rodgers have worked together at Watford and it's instilled in to them to play out from the back, make the pitch as wide as possible, no long balls unless absolutely necessary. It's going to be fascinating to watch us go to the piggery and try to get the ball down and dominate possession, because most times we go to the piggery it's a back to the walls job, soak up pressure and look for counter attacks.

It could work in our favour, it could completely fail on it's arse, we'll need to wait and see

The Old Firm games will be the most technical in years given how both teams play. Warburton and Rodgers teams don't come ac cross as being aggressive in their style.

Wouldn't mind seeing a few tasty tackles and a few bloodied up tarriers after the game

Midfielder Bastian Schweinsteiger has been included in Manchester United's 25-man Premier League squad.

 

He's pretty much been told he's not going to get a game. I imagine the chat went like "Celtic want to take you on loan, or you can stay with us and play maybe a League Cup game or two?" Bastian: "Hoo ze fuck are Celtic?"

Believe me when I say it; we will be lining up with McCarthy and Wilshere in midfield for the Glasgow Derby.

Agreed. If we start with 13 players and ask Tavernier's wee brother to play we might just have a chance.
