Celtic v The Rangers Saturday 30th December 12.30pm

I can't see anything other than it being tight especially now we are missing CCV. (Massive blow)
They will now press us at times especially if we try to play out from the back at a slow tempo.
Set pieces from corners and the many free kicks they will get are a concern and big Joe has to show up or we will suffer.
The dark arts will be used of course and any contact wil be a foul. Expect Barbie and Dessers to be at the forefront of this with Tavpen waiting in the wings for his usual opportunity abley assisted by Mib/Var.

Plenty of balls should be expected over the top with Sima a threat with his pace and he can finish so AJ has to be back to his best.
Taylor may well be targeted as usual so he needs to remember he is a defender as well as his inverted wanders.

It's a boost to have both Reo and Liel back but it maybe too much to expect any telling contributions at this stage.

So it will be the same Midfield as last week and whilst Bernardo received plaudits last week he needs to be careful not to be charging about diving into challenges in this game or he will give the mib easy options with early cards etc.

The Mib/Var with that wee sleekit hun Walsh who loves a trot up to the Var screen along with that self indulgent attention seeking clown Gollum are their equalisers so don't make it easy for the rats.

Really needing Calmac and Matt to grab the initiative in a Midfield that they will try to stifle.

Up front Palma looks more of a threat on the left but Maeda pushes Tavpen back on his heels so they should maybe swap regularly to keep them guessing. Maeda hasn't kicked his own arse since his return from injury so he needs a big performance.

Kyogo....well who knows the wee man is very hot and cold at the moment so another who has to turn up big time.

The bench will look better with Reo and Liel on it but who do we trust do make a difference if needed ,we all know this starting 11 need to be at full pelt with no passengers to get the 3 points we need anyway which we can.
Nothing will come easy today everything has to be left on the pitch. 🇮🇪
Sima is apparently out injured.
