You're not saying they're Zombies are you? ;-)
Their defence will probably look like zombies tomorrow when Celtic roll 'em over - can't see any other result personally.

New manager for Rangers too, a Portuguese lad, Pedro Ciaxinha

Everyone is predicting an absolute hammering tomorrow. If the Celtic players start with that mentality it might end up closer than it should be.

I've no idea who the new Rangers manager is. Even the best manager in the world won't manage to work wonders with that team. I wonder if King has promised him £30m?

Nothing is certain in football. Favourites sometimes lose.

The uncertainty is all part of the fun.

Yeah but it's not working hard enough and/or clicking consistently yet. Someone soon is going to get leathered when Rangers convert more than 10% of their chances in a game - Garner might go some way to helping that.

I think Rangers' GK, midfield and attack is better than Aberdeen and Hearts, and close to as good as Celtic. Toure should hold Celtic together at the back better though, and added to Sinclair and Griffiths up top, that'll be the difference between the teams come May.
I was close hehe

You're better than Hearts and you were right about Sinclair.

What's the prediction for tomorrow and I'll go 8/10ths the other way?

Oh Christ knows. Rangers to perform better again but Celtic still to have the quality and cutting edge.

2-1 Celtic again. Will have a better idea once we see the Gers team sheet.

Wes

Sensible Hodson, Clint hill who kept dembele quiet last time, a dubious centre half, an international left back

Some midfielders, including Hyndman who will probably score

Waghorn who doesn't appear to be a footballer, Miller who will probably score, McKay who is the best player in Scotland on his day (and the best player on the park last time)

What's his day? Monday afternoon when footballers are off?

He's quick and does some good stuff, but ultimately he lacks the quality to either finish or set it up propetly.

He's very average at best.

I think he was one of the best players on the park at the last old firm game. But yes, needs to grow more consistent. Needs good coaching/management that has been lacking.

Everything he did came to nothing. Running with ball means nothing unless you do something with it. It's a bit like Aiden McGeady on a lower level. Fancy dancing and all that, but ultimately no end product.

Looking at his figures he didn't do much with Raith Rovers or Morton. My Rangers supporting friends concluded last year he was out of his depth at Championship level.

He's not done much in the Premiership to suggest much more.

Fair points. It's in my nature to see potential and place emphasis on it. I think he has a rare talent with the ball at feet. He's not that fast but can glide past defenders.

Needs to learn:
To cross
To take a clattering

I knew Celtic would be lacklustre today.

I've no idea how Rangers still have 11 men on the park.

Its not a great game. The The Rangers players have put a lot of effort in. Celtic seem to be just doing enough.

Not the highest quality of football today - a draw is probably a fair result.

Rangers played out of their skin today. They really wanted that badly and raised their game 100x.

Too many Celtic players went out for a Sunday afternoon stroll. Taking Stuart Armstrong off was a terrible decision. Best player on the park and Celtic were controlling the game much better in the second half before taking him off.

It was a penalty late on and Hill was one of two or three players that could have been sent off.

Reports are emerging that a pound coin was thrown at Rangers manager Graeme Murty at Celtic. Police are trying to determine if it was thrown as an attack on the manager, or if it was really a takeover bid.
