Celtic are getting tired but at 3-0, they can sit back. If Rangers did nab goal back, would be interesting to see what happens.

But you just need to "get at" Celtic and "have belief" to beat them?

 

So the experts on here say.

 

In fairness sitting deep against them is no tactic either as we saw first half from rangers.

Aye you really have to keep the score as close until about 60 odd mins when they start to tire.

 

****ers are going to be terrifying when they can start doing it for full matches.

As has happened here. Superb first half nothing there second bar a break or two (so far at least) very typical of them.

It’s been the same all season that’s why teams try and sit in first half. But too many experts want us to go toe to toe from kick off.

Is football a 45 minute game now, and you either choose the first or second half? Celtic only play first halves. Hibs play first halves. We only play second halves. Rangers sometimes play first half and sometimes second...

Its not sitting deep though , its frustrating them. Forcing efforts from distance instead of letting them open you up or have space. Not easy but thats what frustrates them. If you can do that and keep it close for say 60 mins you have a chance. Let them open you up they punish you and you are out the game before they tire

We have good first 5 minutes as well. Should give us the edge 😀

Makes it more exciting. If the refs started not “playing fair” at all the league could be good 🤣

Yeah, cause we've spent the millions Celtic have. Try and use some common sense.

I think your sarcasm detector needs new batteries!

Yep. Dead right there. Early goal in any of those games could have changed everything. All good chances as well.

Rangers are looking at a 3year loss of £72 million.

This could be helped greatly by the £35 + Million from auto CL group qualification…..however if Celtic win it Rangers will once again be in the soft brown stuff.

Said the same. Theyre a better team than rangers. We will compound it by beating them on Sunday. Book mark this.

There's no doubting Celtic fall away after about an hour, which is understandable considering the amount of effort they put in. 

 

Easier said than done but if you are lucky enough to keep them out long enough then they will drop points, like they so nearly did on Sat.

Going to be a nightmare for Gio deciding on whether to play Ryan Jack or Ramsay…

It's an easy choice with Jack, the guy can play, even with those ears

Of course you have to get at them.

Match their effort.

Neilson said that himself.

 

Are you saying dont get at them or not have belief.

Pffft

We started poorly as Neilson said.

You cannot allow them to have the ball in the way Rangers and we did .

They fly out the trap.

A very hard working skillful team.

I'm saying it's not as easy as folk make out. Like all we need is a manager who "has a go".

 

Also, bearing in mind all the criticism of Neilson either not killing teams off or only playing well in one half or whatever, it's good to note how Rangers have come back into the game a lot more this half after being totally outplayed in the first.

This game showing how well we’ve actually done against Celtic this season.

 

Some of our fans won’t admit it but it’s true.

We talking about the same Celtic side that Livingston are still unbeaten against this season ? 
 

celtic massively improved past month or two will go on to win the league but they have took time to get to this level

Tavernier's 6th booking. Does that mean he misses a game? But for some weird reason not til after the next match?

The on-loan Boro striker bullies Barnsley defenders Michal Helik and Mads Juel Andersen before his scuffed shot trickles in.

They improved very quickly after Ange's first few games. Obviously, just as we won't dominate and play well in every game, neither do Celtic.

Did they not change that to 12 yellows before automatic ban?

Thinking Devlin.

He might not.

 

There is a cut off point where after a certain number of games you need 12 bookings for a ban.
