We could easily fall flat on our faces here guys. Therefore, decorum and humility is required.
Support our team and let’s do our talking on the park.
A minimum of 3 points from the remaining games, MON the Hoops!🍀😎🍀

with johnny kenny now being the joint top goalscorer in the conference league, 2 goals and an assist thursday night. he could defo have a big part to play in the close of this season; his pace and power coming on last 10/15mins in games could prove to be a real difference maker for us if he gets his chance 💪🏻

Thanks lads, your confidence has made me worried!

[sonofscotland]

Great show guys..if we turn up on Sunday we will win but we cant afford to carry passengers or we will make it very hard for ourselves 🍀👍🏻

Stevie...don't need two tea bags...just leave one in longer!

[junglejim]

Agree with Stevie. Taylor's defensive displays in the last 2 CL games have been a total embarrassment. If cerny runs at him he'll be left for dead, too much of a weak link for my liking.

Hatate is frustrating but he's in the team to create the sort of chances that others simply can't.

[ScottF]

Agree Hamish, sick of people dying to throw Taylor under the bus, and so dying to praise Valle for anything at all. Valle was murder first 20 mins vs Ross County gave the ball away 3 times, poor against Aberdeen aswell. But no one wants to talk about that because he’s a new signing from Barcelona.

[Lupiz]

the Europa league result was more about Spurs being dreadful than Rangers being very good...but let them think they're Premier League level ('cos Spurs aren't)

Hi Hamish / Stevie : This Sundays lunch : KARATE CHOPS WITH FRIED HUNS AND MIXED VEGETABLES, aka Ipox supporters !!!, and to my family in Melbourne ( Big Pond area ) HAIL HAIL THE CELTS ARE HERE . From, Hugh. 😂😂😂🍀🍀🍀🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🎄🎄🎄

[Mantis_Toboggan_MD.]

Valle is currently getting the benefit of the doubt because he’s relatively new in the door. But so far he’s done nothing to suggest he’s even as good as Taylor never mind better.

Case in point is Stevie letting Valle off the hook for a poor showing at Pittodrie because it was a poor game all round and no one played well - OK fair enough, I agree with that.

But surely the same logic must then apply to Taylor in Zagreb ? It was a poor game all round and no one played well…..

As I said, Valle is simply getting the benefit of the doubt just now because we’ve not really seen much of him.

Agent Ange has them thinking their Barcelona now hehe .. well played Ange 😂😂😂

[danielhenderson]

The fact we are a couple of weeks away from 2025 and still discussing how shite Taylor is criminal! And the scarier thing is if Rodgers thinks he’s the best option what the hell does that say about Valle! The left back postion has been an issue for years now!

[jamesmcgrory]

Can’t help but think Tuesday night was a missed opportunity to secure top 24 now and push for top 8 spot

[Chris-kgpt]

Agree re Taylor for Sunday - it’s a concern. Been a big fan over the years but the last couple of months he’s been poor. Has been letting right wingers run at him and allowing them in to the box rather than engage early. He can’t do that with Cerny

[paulmcguire]

Beat young boys were threw my mind is on the most important game in years imo tommorows Cup final comon celtic 💚🍀🍀🍀🍀💪

[JosephDabernig]

Honest opinion if we play our best they cannot live with us However if we play like we did in Scottish Cup Final it’s 50/50

[dmac]

Personally I wouldn't start with Hatate at the moment. He's giving the ball away far to easy and Rangers are strong at the turnover. If we can keep the ball and move it quickly then we will be to strong for them.

[calumb]

Got to agree with Hamish on Taylor/Valle conversation, think Valle is good off the bench because he’s good at carrying the ball I was crying out for him to come on against Zagreb but I overall would start Taylor especially against them. Happy enough with Taylor but not against him running out his contract and we can bring someone in.

[josephmaxwell]

It’s a cup final for goodness sake, Pass-Back Taylor destroys our forward momentum.
One assist doesn’t cut it.
Then I would even play Scales over Trusty because of his goal threat and proven ability against them.🍀

[jackjones]

Will be surprised if its not the same team that started in Zagreb that starts on sunday. Hopefully we see the intensity and quick passing thats been missing in recent weeks.
