We'll go for a win and come home with three points.
Anything else will be a disappointment

A win and a footballing lesson is needed to lay down a marker in the next game, of course a draw would be the next best thing but a good win would have them smelling the fear even this early in the season but it’s important to go into the game without dropping a single point from now until the gameI’m not saying we are playing for the draw. It’s what would be acceptable.
Exactly.Let's just try and get maximum points in the games in the lead up to the game, I remember everyone being overconfident in the first game last season, they are capable but fingers crossed we can get a win.
I flat out think we are a better team than them. But I do think it is going to be an incredibly odd experience for both sets of players to play an Old Firm game without a crowd. We all know that whoever is the hungriest and sets the tempo so often wins these games. I’ll be really interested to see what the tempo is like and who sets it.
If we don’t turn up on this occasion then it would be criminal and we wouldn’t deserve any title.My only concern is that it will be one of those days where we inexplicably don't turn up. It has happened before when we were before firing on all cylinders. If we play to our current form, we will win.
It's happened even during games as well, within the last few seasons; we have had chances that we have failed to take advantage of, either in crucial games, or at crucial points in the season. If they have a weak area then we have to exploit it, and if we are the better side of the two we have to prove that in the coming games. Two goals against, and going 1-0 early in the last two games could be a real indicator of a poor defence.My only concern is that it will be one of those days where we inexplicably don't turn up. It has happened before when we were before firing on all cylinders. If we play to our current form, we will win.
That is my main worry too. As you say, we have in the past had the occasional inexplicable day when we don’t turn up. Equally, it could be them that don’t turn up. It is just going to be so weird without a crowd.My only concern is that it will be one of those days where we inexplicably don't turn up.

Clancy won’t get the gig. They dirty bastards who decide know they would be pushing it a step to far with their cheating.That is my main worry too.

The other worry, of course, is the refereeing. Odds on Clancy getting the gig? Quite short odds I suspect. And we all know what that has the potential to lead to.
We need to win against the scum as we're more likely to drop points elsewhere. Need to put the pressure on them starting tomorrow.
Seem to be shipping goals at the moment, hopefully it will be the same when we visit.I would be quite happy with draws at their shit hole and relying on our home ground to take care of them.
Id actually feel quite comfortable with only got a draw in the first encounter.
Sit back? No way.Last season showed that the way to win is by going for it and not sitting back. If we sit back playing on the counter we will get beat
Draw is not the end of the world but we definitely have the pace and movement up front to trouble them at the back. Their defence against even Ross County was awful.I would be quite happy with draws at their shit hole and relying on our home ground to take care of them.

Best draw at the piggery 1-1 1985 11 v 9
Precisely. Although they will raise their game against us, if Livingston can score two against them, we should have no fears.They're more than beatable
DefinitelyBig game tomorrow first
Killie have already taken points off them and will again imo.It’ll only be us and Hibs I’d expect to take points from them (Aberdeen will lie down) so will only be happy with a win considering how poor they are this season
