Diomande has played well in recent games but Hagi might be a better choice for tomorrow. Tav has also been playing well recently but I don't think he'll be able to deal with Maeda.

[@67Pepper]

Diomande has been a failure against them, too timid. Hagi will torment them and fight for the ball, and he always has a trick up his sleeve, a cheeky wee pass that could open up their defence.

[@BillyHamilton-n8p]

I just want to get past 20 mins without Kyogo scoring from 20 yards like he’s done in last 4 old firm games. Sick of watching him and McGregor moving around like they are the only people on the park. Let’s be honest, McGregor is a fantastic player. Very difficult to contain, but we at least need to reduce the time he has to pick his passes. If we perform like we did on Thursday we have a chance. I just hope we keep 11 on the park. Jefte up against Kuhn is a red card risk but our only option

[@jackskerry2467]

Rangers need to start well & get on the front foot from the kick off & when the chances come they’ve got to take them. As CJ said, this is a one off & it’s about who turns up on the day. If Rangers show any signs of a hangover after Thursday, then Celtic will probably take advantage. Looking forward to it.

[@conradblack779]

Great channel as a Celtic fan your opinions are very unbiased and well thought out, i think the fact that celtics bench is a lot stronger and certain players have been able to be rested will come into play. Rangers have been excellent recently but I think the mentality of having lost the last few old firms will also play a part I just can’t see rangers being able to stop Celtic from scoring more but hope it’s a good competitive match

Come on The Rangers. 🇬🇧🔴⚪️🔵🇬🇧

[@kentgrady9226]

Celtic fan here, who happens to enjoy CJ's spirited, understandably biased yet honest and fair content. I'm not as confident as most of my green-clad brethren. Are Celtic going to win the league? Yes. Barring catastrophe, Rangers simply don't have enough opportunities to close the gap. Are Celtic a better squad? Yes. That is clear to all but the most devoted and myopic Rangers fans. *HOWEVER* Celtic have looked a bit ragged of late, despite not losing a single match since the debacle in Dortmund. Rangers, have furthermore looked good bordering on very good in recent matches. Cup finals are by definition one-offs. In such a scenario, season-long form goes out the window. Only the momentum of the moment matters. As it now stands, that momentum lies with Rangers. My heart says Celtic in a romp. My head says that Celtic should win simply because they are the better, more stable side. The queasy feeling in my gut, however, says that Rangers will win - probably in AET. Enjoy the match. Yours in fraternal rivalry. Cheers and best wishes for the Christmas season.

[@alankavanagh9721]

Who is the famous 😮

[@The160879]

Agree if we play like Thursday we’ve got a chance. Only problem is although Spurs have a lot of money and talent they don’t have Celtics supporters behind them they don’t have the knack of beating us. But it’s got to happen sometime and on their day spurs would wipe floor with both of us. We’re gna need to be 100% and hope they slip up somewhere. That being said Bruge and Zagreb managed to stifle them. We need to stop McGregor, Kuhn, maeda, hatate, eda, kyogo lol 😂 but we’ve got our 2 up front who will score against them if they get a chance let’s keep it tight and if we get beat then at least make them work for it 🇬🇧 im going for a tight 1-0 or 2-0 to us I can’t face them scoring anymore it puts the bloody fear into the team 😂

[@shaunsmith5615]

[@ianfitton9400]

i had got kind of used to the idea we dont win these games and as much as i would like that to change it is a longshot and we are still massive underdogs,the spurs game has got me feeling we can raise the cup on sunday which is a for me a bad thing as if it doesnt come off then the fall will be a lot harder than it would have been before our recent resurgence!

Surely we’re due to get the 1st goal this time. I believe if we get that all important goal, we’ll win it. Sterling has to start in place of Tav, and another fantastic display from Raskin will do for me. I’ve been told by a Souttar family member that he’ll miss the game, such a shame he’s been our best player this season.

[@Nisbet5060]

Butland Sterling Balogun Propper Jefte Raskin Diomande Cerny Hagi Igamane Danilo

Disagree with your Dio pick. He's had terrible games against them. I'd play Ridvan again.

[@alch3mi5t.]

A big difference between us and that lot, are our best players being on a good run of form means 3 or 4 matches. With them it is a 20 or 30 match run. Looking forward to the match, glad our team has at least removed the dread before matches. 😂😂

Hey CJ, celtic fan, your spot on about not sitting back. when teams back us up and we continue to try and play from the back, is when we get in trouble, that being said, its hard to press a team for 90 minutes.
