Great win today as this was one of those teams we could not break down in the past but what a difference. Wednesday big game then the final against them.
So how do we approach this I think we go at them. Every game we have played so far we have dominated should be no difference next Sunday.

01 Dec 2019 22:57:15
The thing is, all this praise for the players and lennon for the nice free flowing football and in wins in Europe mean nothing if we don't win the final. It's our bread and butter and our team has far more quality so no excuses. You can't take anything for granted but this game goes a long way for the season.

02 Dec 2019 06:30:37
It'll depend on who's available after wed game we have 4 or 5 missing just now.

02 Dec 2019 08:27:50
@bayo
ye agreed
bread and butter first.
its been tough year for us with all the changes, we came through it have a look at arsenal big changes there and a few others we went through this when rodgers left and kept our shxx together i did worry just a little as it was a mess but somehow this team took it in there stride.
also this team knows what it means they seem hungry.
hope elhamed and eddy are back HH.

Absolute nonsense Bayo, "the wins in Europe mean nothing if we don't win the Final" You do realise a time will come when we don't win a Treble? Impossible to keep winning absolutely everything. I've said it before I'm dreading the over the top reaction when the day comes that we fail to win a final. Hope that day isn't Sunday but if it is, I hope our support put a bit of perspective into it.

02 Dec 2019 11:23:45
It's a cup final, anything can happen, and probably will.

02 Dec 2019 15:19:36
Spot on Stevie, some people just baffle me at times, Sunday can go either way based on present form, if both teams play to their potential then we win, so close though, its going to be a tough game.

02 Dec 2019 16:52:29
@stevie,
the over reaction will be from the typical few but that's there opinion.
they will not accept lennon no matter if he wins the europa cup or the quadruple.
we have done great and went through a lot i also know this run can and will come to an end one day but as you say hopefully not sunday.

i don't see why we can't win on sunday we are still the best team and have improved leaps and bounds. just look at our performance in euorope these teams we are playing are great teams we defeated them with skill and tactics tat should be enough so by analogy we are getting better our away form great and destroying stubborn dogged defensive minded teams was where we used to struggle.

we are are also a better team than the last time thet played us let's hope lennies mind games work.

02 Dec 2019 18:32:58
In almost 120 years only 17 trebles (rangers 9 Celtic 8) have been won in Scotland which shows how difficult it is. Who could even have dreamt of a double treble never mind a treble treble. For sure this will come to end but as others have said hopefully it will not take place on the Feast of the Immaculate Conception, to Rangers. Would be easier to accept losing a final to a Highland League team.

02 Dec 2019 21:52:13
Jim we have 5 trebles and they have 7.

03 Dec 2019 00:29:20
Damned wikipedia as didn't notice that the first couple for both teams was before introduction of league cup and was league, cup and glasgow cup. so you are right royjac they have 7 but we have 6. Stein got 2, '67 and '69, O'neil got 1 and then the treble treble.

01 Dec 2019 21:43:19
did you hear the slug rodgers today. he will jump ship soon i think. also his sponser on his shirt scb or scab no truer words.

01 Dec 2019 21:54:28
He’s a fud.

02 Dec 2019 12:07:28
I think he will hang on for Man Utd job.
AS, the main sports paper here in Spain has him strongly linked with it for next season.

02 Dec 2019 15:21:34
He doesn't need to hang on, he will take the Gunners job and then when Man Utd come calling a month later he will jump ship, rat!

01 Dec 2019 16:22:11
It is generally accepted that the league table never lies. It doesn't. However that doesn't mean it necessarily tells the entire truth either. Looking at the table there is nothing between Celtic and the Klan. That's certainly how you would view it if you were a Klan member. But I reckon the table tells you more about the gap between them and the rest than it does necessarily about the gap between us and them. The former is undoubtedly wider than previous seasons and whether the latter is narrower remains to be seen. If Barcelona played in the SPL we'd still be beating the rest as they would and the league would look to be nip and tuck. However the head to heads over a season would show Barcelona to be a far superior team than Celtic although points and goals wise the league would look tight. I reckon if we played the Klan 10 times we'd beat them 8 draw 1 and lose 1 eventually and Morelos would even score against us at some point. The cup final will test my theory and establish whether the gap has narrowed or is as wide as ever.

01 Dec 2019 16:52:12
I think the timing of sundays final, due to our injuries again will make it closer than it should be.
Looks like hayes at LB.
I would rather start with el hamed at RB with the option of bringing frimpong om.
Eddy, mo and olly missed out again today.
What's your take on it ed.
I just think it will be close maybe even extra time.

01 Dec 2019 16:57:11
I think the game next week is going to be really close, I just hope we don't get to over confident.
They seem to think that the RB position is our weak spot and Kent is going to tear us apart.

01 Dec 2019 17:19:20
I don't get the hype with Ryan Kent. A handful of good games, a goal against us, assault on Broonie and that mob think he is the messiah! If he was that good he would be playing elsewhere.

I agree, I think they will try to hit both lb and rb but If our midfield does its job they won't be a threat.

01 Dec 2019 18:18:44
I think Sevco have improved on last season but arguably we have as well.
I think the Cup final will be tight, but I believe if we both play to our potential then we will come out on top as we have dangerous players all over the pitch.
They will need a lot of our players to be off their game to have a chance.

01 Dec 2019 19:26:43
Elhamed is injured.

01 Dec 2019 21:47:42
Elhamed will be a big loss if he misses the game, I think he must be the best of Lenny's signings, this time round,
I think Johnny Hayes or Greg Taylor will be more than good enough to play at left back, but if he plays Calumn McGregor at left back, I will just give up and assume there is some international betting ring running from the Philippines that have lumped a lot of money on The rangers to win, and that they control both Celtic and The rangers and all the supporters, on both sides are being played (like a money making fiddle) , .

01 Dec 2019 22:10:27
Aindoh Taylor is cup tied.

01 Dec 2019 22:11:31
Taylor's cup tied aindoh so he won't be playing.

01 Dec 2019 22:34:41
Taylor can't play let's put jack Baeur there. It will a physical game so hopefully boli back and elhamed and Mohamed Lenny has a selection problem injured players coming back ready to go nice position me thinks. Still not sure about frimpong maybe sit out this game not sure what was happening today don't think he cut in enough when coming from the right he seemed nervy he kept passing the ball back the way. May what he's told to do on this one.

01 Dec 2019 14:38:24
{Ed's Note - Ed001 has posted a new player profile about, Miguel Almiron

01 Dec 2019 14:01:09
Decent result today guys. I can't see it but it would be great if the Jambos can get something at the Sevvydome this afternoon. HH.

01 Dec 2019 15:01:38
Very unlikely, the baby Rangers always submit to the Sevco.

01 Dec 2019 15:11:03
Not a hope in hell are the wee Rangers taking anything today! No chance!

01 Dec 2019 11:46:21
Let's hope boli and eddy are ready for the filth and no injuries today please 🤞🤞.

01 Dec 2019 14:13:45
Mally eddy will play I think but I'd be happy enough to go in with Taylor.

01 Dec 2019 14:36:26
Taylor is cup tied kev.

01 Dec 2019 14:39:31
Taylor is cup tied.

01 Dec 2019 11:33:35
Let's get a convincing win today lads can't wait to see the team that gets picked. HH.

{Ed007's Note - It's on the rumours page and live chat, Andy. So I drag myself out of bed on a freezing Sunday morning to get the team up as soon as it's announced and you don't even feckin' look at it! 😁

01 Dec 2019 11:45:29
That's a disgrace ed Andy have a look at yourself 😅😅.
