I believe that Celtic are one of the worst teams in the world at playing for a draw.
Perhaps it's based on a history of playing to win. Perhaps it's because we are hardwired in refusing to settle for second best.
Either way, I think we are offering them a psychological boost if we go to that dump and don't go for the throat.
It's not as if we have the most robust defence on the world, so it is imperative that we play to our strengths and force them to worry about us.
I wouldn't be heartbroken if we came away with just a point; however - this game could be the benchmark for our season, so it is vital that we turn up early and are on full alert from the first whistle.
For those new signings who have yet to fully convince many of the Celtic supporters, this game is an opportunity to change opinions. This is the type of challenge that they come to our club for, so it's as good a chance as any to prove they deserve to be worthy of the shirt.
There is not one of us who wouldn't relish the prospect of going to their hovel and giving it their all in Hoops. As The Verdict1 wrote yesterday, this is no time to be meek and mild. This is the time for Bhoys to become men and lay down their credentials to become fully-fledged Celts.
Fuck it.........draws are only good for the coupon! Get ripped right into them Celtic. The muppets need a humbling!
