Match Thread Rangers v Celtic - 15:00 Sunday - BT Sport

[Turrabear]

Nothing official mate, just seems to be the team that's doing the rounds tonight.

Thanks for that mate.hope to God it isn,t true.

 

[Carlisle Bear]

Davis being out kills us - he's the one guy we have capable of setting the tempo and disrupting theirs.

Aribo and Kamara want the game to slow down to their pace, Aribo in particular while clearly a talented player looks (currently) ill-suited to the pace of Scottish football.

Unfortunately, just now Celtic have a wee core of Scottish players that set a very intense tempo that you need in these games and I don't think we have the personnel to match it. We can't get through a game without at least a 25 minute lull and you can't have that in a final.

 

[Paisleybear30]

Hearing there is a pitch inspection tomorrow. Any truth?

I've heard the pitch is gubbed at the moment. If it's anything like the Scotland v San Marino game then it would be a farce

 

[Boab4]

Not difficult to figure that it would involve Arfield dropping deeper and Barker playing on the right mate. Jack, Arfield, Kamara midfield, for example. It’s not unlikely.

That would involve dropping Aribo though so it's not a straight swap.

I can’t contest anything you’ve said there.

I still think we’re winning the trophy tomorrow.

Of course we can win, we have Kent and Morelos and I think we can get at their full backs.

However, I just think they have a little more 'snap' in their play whereas our players are maybe a bit more suited to a European tempo.

 

[Manbearpig]

It's been around 7 years since I was last off work sick and today of all days I've been completely floored with the flu. Woke up this morning shivering and in agony. Im absolutely gutted that I'm probably going to have to miss tomorrow now. Doing everything I can to get fit and make it to the game but it's not looking good. I'll be crying tomorrow morning if I wake up not better

I’ll buy your ticket if you can’t make it mate, my sympathies btw

that can work if you don't give the ball away

 

[Manbearpig]

I’ll take your ticket if you can’t make it mate, my sympathies btw

First question everyone has asked today when I've told them I'm ill "what's happening with your ticket?"

I'll tell you what's happening with it, its staying with me ya bunch of inconsiderate bastards.

That's if you wake up at all.

That flu's a killer.
Your Uncle Shengus will have your ticket if it's curtains in the morn.

FF’s very own Burke and Hare.

 

[Juanito2]

Davis being out is the fear. We remember we had that spell 2016 to 2018 that our midfield didn't exist v the bheasts and we'd just get run over. A lightweight midfield with say Aribo without control would be a hark back to that. I wouldn't trust Aribo in an OF. He's struggling with the hussle and bussle v smaller clubs nevermind a final.

Kent,BB and Alfie need huge games tomorrow. I'd be happy for Tav to stay a bit to focus on his defensive duties. We need to start well aswell .When we beat them in 2016.Miller scored early and it just lifted us.

My dads giving it to his pal if I cant make it, had I known you were looking to would have been first dibs. I'm doing everything I can to get fit. Was buzzing for going down to the lodge at 10 for my first day out since the wee man was born in July. I dont deserve this.

I'm hearing davo is out and Barker is starting

 

[JeffreySpaulding]

Midfield of Jack, Kamara and Arfield would be not bad.

 

[ShotaShuffle]

Not being dramatic but if Barker starts tomorrow we are knackered.

Barker allows us to press up the park. He is a work horse. Similar to Candeias

 

[Willger]

The conditions tomorrow are going to be very difficult. Barker and Kent running at them in heavy conditions could allow us to go long and not get bogged down in the middle of the park. Davis will be a miss but the we shouldn't be throwing the towel in.

Forecast looking dreadful for tomorrow from 6am
Onwards as well. Had a cup final ever been postponed? Not saying it will btw just a general question

 

[Scarlett]

Does RTV still work with NordVPN? or is it a safer option to just buy BT sport for tomorrow?

I watch it using Opera browser with the built in VPN and its basically perfect. Found it more reliable that a separate VPN.

Only jesting, J.

I'm working tomorrow and can't make it.

 

[Treble Kings]

I got a ticket just a few hours ago... . Guy on my bus can't make it, and I won a coin toss against others to get it..

 

[Art Freeman]

3 is the magic number because there is no chance they're scoring more than 2.

 

[Derta]

Will be very surprised if game goes ahead tomorrow with the amount of rainfall expected right up to and during the game.

Sympathy for tomorrow mate but you need to throw some more sickies in general. No-one ever lay on their death bed and thought, "You know what, I wish I'd spent more time at work".

 

[blueboyblue]

I bring nothing to this thread but all I can say is.... let's do this Rangers

 

[BobbyShearer55-65]

Say what you like about BT Sport, but at least they give Scottish football some dedicated coverage.

Sky give it about 15 minutes before and after.

 

[Bothwell Street Bear]

I use NordVPN to watch the home games and have never had a problem with it. It‘s the best, most reliable, vpn I’ve used.

probably because it isn’t free.

 

[naefrittersleftpal]

Is Davis definitely out or is it just a rumour at this point

 

[ArfieldGer]

Comfortable rangers win for me. 3-0

 

[gersVids]

Lets hope the game is called off early if that is the case.

 

[gersVids]

Rumoured to be out

 

[SouthCarolinaBear]

Get torn into them Rangers. Dreaming that this will be remembered as the Alfie final with a double from the wee man. One assisted from Kent and the other from Barisic. WATP

 

[mck1872]

Rumours edouard hasn’t made it. Typical if the game gets called off now

 

[Turrabear]

I'd like to see Stewart getting a game against them .

So would I.

 

[Stanley]

Rangers 1-0.

 

[two2tango]

I’m heading to bed

we are winning this it’s up to us to make the difference

 

[Hap Hapablap]

You're heading to bed and I've been staring at the ceiling since 3am. That's me up and I'm a nervous wreck. Started to iron the weans clothes for today and uniforms for Monday.

I'm fuCked

 

[Ozbluenose]

Come on Rangers let’s beat the vermin.

 

[tottie beck]

Lets do this mob Rangers!! Bring home the Cup!!!

C'mon the Gers!

 

[Chris01]

Slept about 3 hours last night.

Come on Rangers into this shower. Battle fever is well and truly on !!!

 

[StornowayLoyal]

I’ve woken up about 7 hours before intended... nothing I can do about it now!

Just win Rangers.

 

[theweepubloyal]

2700km away and been up an hour already , let’s do this Rangers .

[subversive_bear]

We need to show that we want it more than they do.

 

[Cooperfan]

We conceded two to Feyenoord and the sheep, plus Hamilton could easily have scored more than one. The defence have been really poor recently and are the big concern.

If the defence are are sound the next issue is right wing/inside right. Ojo has struggled. Arfield is favourite and I think he'll start there. Personally I'd like Arfield in midfield ahead of Kamara and play Stewart further forward. He should have came on ahead of Ojo in Aberdeen.

My team would be : AM; JT, CG, NK, BB; SD, RJ, SA; GS, AM, RK

I expect the team to actually be: McGregor; Taverner, Goldson, Helander, Barisic; Davis, Jack, Kamara; Arfield, Morelos, Kent

If we don't get brain farts from our defence I think we'll win 3-1. Kent, Morelos, and Barisic didn't start against them last time, that will make a big difference.

Edit: Is Davis confirmed as out? If so I think SG will play Jack, Kamara, and Arfield in midfield with Ojo in an advanced role. Very bad news if so.

Where you hearing that about Davis? Surely not ffs

 

[Stu_m85]

Any win will do but I'm not confident tbh.

 

[Bigbluebear]

It's been on here since yesterday afternoon.
