Good thing is we have no midweek games in the coming weeks. Which gives us more time to prepare for those games.

Not till 27 Jan

 

[BillySimpson]

1-0

Defoe (Pen) 90+4

Morelos S/O 34' Brown S/O 34'
McGregor S/O 90+2

Not sure the ticker could survive a last minute pen at 0-0 !

 

[Irn-Bru]

Stomach is churning. I feel sick.

 

[bigTAM weeTAM]

Worth remembering the great Liverpool sides of the 80s who were quite happy to draw against their nearest rivals in the league. The key thing was not to lose, and maintain their lead at the top. But a win today would be off the scale.

Difference though mate, Liverpool could expect their nearest challengers to drop points v quality teams in that league. Only we've beaten the dhims despite their 'crisis'.

 

[Inverhouse]

Any win will do 3 points is all that matters.

 

[Let’s Gio]

Quietly confident we won’t %^*& this up.

asit stands 17 games left and I thjnk 14 wins gets us the title

Make it 13 after today

 

[ricksen24]

Stomach is churning. I feel sick.

Exact same not been like this for years

Hope the players are in better nick thats for sure

 

[tazzabear]

I’m not sure where this free shot stuff comes from?

It’s an OF. Win and we have one hand on it. Lose, we’re in a real battle, with the sheep to come straight after this.

There are no free hits.

You’ve not replied here and there’s too much to go through so I’ll just summarise.
Anybody thinking that losing today has a good side, is acceptable, is okay, is absolutely fecking wrong.
No debate.

 

[Kowloon72]

Not sure the ticker could survive a last minute pen at 0-0 !

Especially after McLaughlin has just saved one a minute earlier.

 

[frankie_dux]

Safe to say this might be the most important old firm game of all time ?

 

[Wee Dick's Hairnet]

1-0

Defoe (Pen) 90+4

Morelos S/O 34' Brown S/O 34'
McGregor S/O 90+2

Not enough detail in this prediction. Were the sending offs straight reds or double yellow?

[BlueNoseBlueblood]

3-0 Rangers Morelos x2 & Roofe.

Would like that too EB but think Alfie will be a worker ant today.

wouldn't we all absolutely love a Joe Braga gooooooooooooaaaaaaaaal today?
can you imagine all the air being sucked out of more than half of Glasgow (and around the world) as he twinkle toes past them..... we've got thoughts only, some guttural sounds, unable to annunciate "can he?, will he?, surely not!, Omg, he's dancing, screeeeeaming.... Screeeeeeeaming"

EDIT: (in an Al Pacino voice) "We're on the floor, They're on the floor, Everybody's on the floor! Too much caffeine for me I think

Spot on.

 

[Jimmy Jazz]

How the hell could the likes of Barry Ferguson and Andy Halliday get the required 8 hours kip in the night before these games? I get 4 if I'm lucky.

 

[Gibraltar Loyal]

Im a nervous wreck.
Obviously want to win but regardless of result we will be able to watch the next game.
There are 66 souls who were never able to watch our beloved Rangers after 2nd January 1971.
Whatever happens today lets keep things in perspective and lets be civil about things. A modicum of decorum isnt a lot to ask.
Here's to a good game but more importantly, here's to the memory of the 66.

 

[Craigr1977]

We get an early goal and they could collapse spectacularly.
Please, please do this today Rangers, for the last 8 years and for the 66 that never came home.

 

[macallan]

Just Skelp Them Rangers

 

[GoramsGloves]

Today is a massive day in the quest for 55. Play like we have in the previous 3 games against them and we win the game. Simply we are better than them.

 

[roffey]

Feel a wee bit nervous, first time in a long time. Not a bad thing either because when I’m uber confident we quite often get beat.

 

[Turrabear]

we need to destroy them to day .If they get a draw or a win.then it gives them hope that they can win the league. I honestly don,t think we will
l have an easy game like the last time we played them.

 

[schnauzer]

When can I start drinking?

 

[Discodale]

I don’t care how well or badly we play, we just need to put them to the sword. I’ll go for 1-0, late strike from Hagi.

 

[skeewee]

Keep seeing Jack being mentioned and DocStone liking it.

Fucking tease.

Been thinking the same pal.

 

[RandyMac]

When can I start drinking?

You’re late.

 

[bloo1872]

Nerves going, trying to fill the time and failing, just want the game to start.

 

[si72]

Defeat is unthinkable.We need to put this mob out their misery.Now is the time.

 

[BlueNoseBlueblood]

When can I start drinking?

as soon as the team is announced?

 

[WinkieWATP]

When can I start drinking?

Last night

 

[Jaws]

There’s an over-confidence amongst some on here that I hope our players don’t share. Make no mistake, this will be our toughest challenge!

 

[Kit_]

Battle fever on let’s go!

 

[BlueNoseBlueblood]

Defeat is unthinkable.We need to put thus mob out into their misery.Now is the time.

Fixed that for u mate

 

[CaptainCourageous]

Hungover, excited, nervous, time going backwards.

I just hope come full time we've got a positive result.

 

[fmp]

A draw is a bad result for them.

 

[Johnny Yen]

Starting to get really nervous now, been up early with the kids and they were taking my mind off it, pre match battle fever is building.

 

[BigBuff]

When can I start drinking?

2 hours ago

 

[WinkieWATP]

If we can’t go into today’s game confident of a victory then we never will.

 

[Gazb1962]

Don’t think there’s an over confidence as such but I believe we should be capable of winning the game.

If we play as we can, we win.

 

[Modfella]

Nerves are shattered let's just kick off.

 

[dh1963]

This is the biggest game since we got kicked out the top league. How anyone can be calm and confident is beyond me, my guts are doing somersaults.

 

[Rudiger]

we need to destroy them to day .If they get a draw or a win.then it gives them hope that they can win the league. I honestly don,t think we will
l have an easy game like the last time we played them.

That's a bold statement mate.

 

[Turrabear]

A draw is a bad result for them.

Don,t think they will see it like that mate.they will see it as us not being able to beat them.

[Barrymoped]

Disagree mate.

We started the game away to them with Arfield/Davis/Kamara with Jack on the bench. I don't think for a second Gerrard starts a home game against them with a more negative midfield.

We made that mistake the first Old Firm game last season against them. Gerrard set up to stifle them rather than play to our own strengths, which are better than theirs.

Thankfully the gaffer learned and hasn’t made the same mistake again since

 

[Yer da]

Form, bookies, players, past encounters. It all points to a Rangers win if you're a neutral, but I'm a nervous wreck. I don't care how we do it, just leave the pitch with three points.

 

[Hap Hapablap]

I've had 9 units of alcohol already and don't feel a thing. Adrenaline burning it off big style.

 

[Atheist Bear]

There’s an over-confidence amongst some on here that I hope our players don’t share. Make no mistake, this will be our toughest challenge!

They won't, the manager will make sure of that.

 

[Truckerman]

I've got a feeling this could be a very difficult game and right now I would take a single goal victory

 

[Hap Hapablap]

We made that mistake the first Old Firm game last season against them. Gerrard set up to stifle them rather than play to our own strengths, which are better than theirs.

Thankfully the gaffer learned and hasn’t made the same mistake again since

Well he didn't really. He started Defoe instead of Morelos and played Aribo in an alien role.

He was naive and thought he could play the same way we did when we beat them 2-0 when Arfield scored. They didn't need stifling that day, Lennon set up to spoil the game and executed it perfectly.

Prepare for similar today, I refuse to believe some people saying this is the last throw of the dice for them and they'll come for us. I don't see it.

I think they'd take a draw right now and hope to sneak a win.

Kemar Roofe is absolutely vital today for us.

 

[Taiwan Loyal]

I've been confident for weeks but feeling the nerves now. Let's go Rangers, get right into these filthy bas.tards. Biggest chance we've had in the past 10 years to absolute pump them.
