Like you Ally and Espiritosanto I'm always wary of this fixture.
That said I think I'm as confident about this one as I've ever been.
I cant see a 0-0 draw but should the game finish level I'd accept that as we maintain the ' gap' like you say.
That's the supporter in me looking at the bigger picture but I do believe that Ange will view this as a chance to put the league to bed asap.
Also macbeal has said he will be going all out for the win ( doesnt have a choice really) and this can play into our /Anges hands.
We're so accustomed to the opposition parking the bus it will be refreshing to see a side who actually fancy themselves.
Having seen the way they scraped over the VAR added time line against Aberdeen and how Hibs took them apart in the first half at Mordor ( 4 goals conceded over the two games) I really believe we could be looking at another hunskelkping.
What a way to start 2023 eh?
They're there for the taking, Aberdeen were desperately unVARtunate not to take the 3pts, I cant see how they'll keep us at bay.
We have goals in us from all positions and whilst I'm not dismissing the challenge that awaits our bhoys there , I am nonetheless very confident of collecting the 3 pts .
I think that a draw would be seen as an improvement for macbeal ( even if its whispered amongst them).
They will have a go, of that I'm sure but our controlling game will inevitably lead to them being on the back foot and no choice but to defend.
I'll give them the VAR/mib penalty or goal that isn't and our game to come out on top.
Old Firm F.C 1 - Celtic 2
If we score first? = hunskelkping
And a happy new year
