The one who is as wide as he is tall believes we are the slight favourites for Wednesday! Somehow I don’t think he believes that for a second!

We must be favourites, our recent run of form has been excellent (bar the Dundee Utd game) and the games at Ibrox, i honestly cant see us losing. This is the most confident i've been about an old firm game in quite a while. COME ON THE GERS!!

I have to say that I’m quite optimistic for a change. I heard that Sellick were absolutely rotten on Sat and if had not been for some dubious referee decisions then they probably would have got beat.

You guys weren't much better on Sunday. This one will come down to the officials in my opinion. Best of luck to both.

I actually though we were ok on Sunday. Got the job done and played some decent stuff in the second half. Plus Klos got his mistake out of the way for this season so I don’t expect him to make anymore!

My point was we gave you easy goals from corners. It was shocking on our behalf. The scoreline didn't really reflect how you played. I cannot see you being given the same against Celtic. In short, do not get over-excited. I can see it being a close game and, as always, close games are usually decided by the officials!

Some of the defending was poor. But Sellicks defending has been poor lately as well! I feel we have got to win both of these games! I’m not confident of wining both though.
I’m sure they will be thinking this is the perfect opportunity to put there season back on track.

It will be close but i think we'll win both games, when was the last time we kept a clean sheet against Celtic?? I know Klos has never kept one against them, tomorrow will be a good opportunity

Off the top of my head, Klos kept a clean sheet against them the last time we beat them at the Piggery (2000, 1-0, Rodney Wallace, God bless him!).
At the other end of the park, Novo has been banging them in, but let's see what he's like when it comes to the really big games.
Never thought I'd hear myself say this but I'm disappointed that Bob Malcolm is out (suspended). Might give Alex Rae a chance to get stuck into the fat ginger twat and Ronaldinho McGeady!
Mon the Bears!

It looks like Stillian (lady boy) Petrov may miss the game tonight.

Sutton is definetly out, Petrov & Balde will be last minute decisions.

I had that game in mind and i remember it very well, he scored in the last 10mins, but i thought it was Charbonnier or Niemi who was in goal, but I may be wrong

Looks like Celtic have had a tough time of it (from the BBC match tracker). 88th min.

A brilliant match and the better team one.
When Hartson scored, I thought "Here we go again" but the spirit in the camp is better than last year when we might just have given up.
Though Rangers played some nice football, Hamed Namouchi and Vignal played well in my view, Lovenkrands disappeared a bit in the second half but there's nothing new there!
Anyway, 12 unbeaten now, money off the back as far as Old Firm defeats goes. Onwards and upwards!

******** me, I only had one drink tonight and my spelling is shot to pieces.
Anyone else spot the deliberate mistakes...?

As usual, Rangers dominates a game by playing good football. Celtic hack, punt, get a few set pieces and amazingly fluke a goal (from an initial dodgy freekick I might add). I was "glad" that Rangers won today, because I am sick of watching Celtic do that. Congratulations. Great to see Andrews do so well.

We deserved to win. Now we need to do it in the important one in 9 days!

Qulity result. That should be the way Rangers should always fight in Old Firm matches.
