No pressure on us at the mo, worst case scenario we go to the new year 4 points behind (a huge drop from the 15 it was) and you guys are going to come out of the transfer window much weaker than you went into it.

Player for player I believe we're far superior than you guys but you guys under Walter Smith were always a far better team. Ally seems to be struggling to get you guys to gel once you lost a few first teamers and it's inevitable that you're going to lose more in the transfer window.

The bookies have us as favourites at the moment and that's exactly how I see it too.

Ok, we will see. I think we will be fine.

Should you be willing to place a charity wager on the winner of this year's SPL I shall accept.

Keith, Keith, Keith.

How silly you are, don't you remember the glorious scenes at Parkhead last May as the Celtic support celebrated second place with their manager?
Well second place is already secured, and despite going into the second Old Firm behind the out of form champions, that is cause for celebration.

Given the above quip I can only but summise that you 'missed' this earlier post of mine... otherwise I will declare it 'faux' confidence!

What charity?

Charity to be chosen by the winner of the bet.

You win you nominate a charity for me to pay, I win I nominate a charity for you to pay.

How funny would it be to see the name Bobby Sands on a donation to the type of Charity KeithAFC is likely to chose

No matter what charity he picks, as long as it's a registered charity, I'll pay.

Oh I'm not disputing that for a second, just thought it would be ironic to see your name on a donation to the likes of the Erskine Appeal

Looking forward to tonight. I disagree that the pressure is on Celtic because we are still second. Given the position we have come from I think the pressure on Rangers. Sure they are still first but I am sure they will have noticed the gap being closed. Nothing will be decided tonight anyway but hoping we can take the three points.

Excitement building now, I fear the weather may suit Rangers more than Celtic but we will see. Rio Ferdinand will be cheering us on tonight:

"Training done,the sofa is shouting me to come+get comfy! Old firm game who you having?? Coooome on Celtic..get the Maestro Paul Mcstay back!"

Come on Dermot Desmond, get that chequebook out and sign the lad up :P.

Who, McStay?

I guess he'd relish a chance to "win trophies" wouldnt he?

henke · 28-12-2011 02:56PM

I will settle for this tonight

Soups123 · 28-12-2011 02:59PM

Momentums with Celtic, home crowd, Rangers struggling, I see a good beating on the cards here, 3-0 Celtic

Thats a little naughty:).Paul McStay. A sublime footballer.Just played for Celtic at the wrong time I guess.The time when the rangers were not paying their taxes;)

Celtic have the momentum, the home advantage and the squad to take this title by the scruff of the neck tonight.
It's worth pointing out that this time last year the roles were pretty much reversed and we walked out of Ibrox with the three points. So you can't be too careful in these games.
I'm going for a 2-1 win to the good guys, with big Wanyama getting on the score sheet.

7-1 to the good guys:D

You never know what you're going to get from these games but with the evening K.O. adding to the athmosphere I'd expect Celtic to come out strong at the start, if Rangers can hold out for 15-20 mins it'll be anyones game. Hopefully Celtic can get control of the game early and get the 3 points. Discipline will be important too, we can't afford to get involved in Old Firm madness.

Hoping for a cracking game of football too with it being on at a good time for the neutrals, could be a great advertisment for the SPL.

A Dub in Glasgo · 28-12-2011 03:39PM

Hopefully this bloody wind & rain will disappear for the game

ColeTrain · 28-12-2011 03:39PM

Reckon Lennon will go back to the 4-5-1? Or keep the 4-4-2?

I'd play Hooper and Stokes up front tonight. Why change now?

Not a chance under these conditions - walking to the shop was a mission this morning, never mind playing attractive football!

Jesus Keith, you're gone very quiet, looks like all that confidence and bravado has dissipated!!!

:D:D:D:D

Tiocfaidh Armani · 28-12-2011 04:33PM

Not so sure with these windy conditions. We're more of a footballing team so can't see this wind and rain suiting us.

bobbysands81 · 28-12-2011 04:35PM

By the way. Paddy Power has Celtic at even money to win tonight, that's a great price.
