I fear for us this Sunday and it's got nothing to do with the 11 we'll face on the park. My fear comes from whoever is sitting miles away from Ibrox in Clydesdale House. This is the chance for them to dictate what way this game will go, I think they will see this game as a huge opportunity to put the title firmly in Rangers' hands and they won't care how ridiculous a decision it takes to do it.
At the end of the day, it will just go down as an honest mistake. Every little incident in the Celtic box will be scrutinised and an infringement will be found somewhere.
The incident at Livingston where Kyogo was wiped out shouldn't be overlooked just because we ended up winning the game. This wasn't given or looked at because it was a crucial time in the game, approaching H/T with game still 0-0 and Celtic struggling to break down a stubborn Livingston.
If this incident had happened when we were 3 up you can bet it would be given. Getting decisions when you need them to dig you out of a hole are hugely different from getting them when games already settled.

In the previous 2 games against them VAR has made the call that Dessers fouled Lagerbielke and Collum made the decision that Johnson didn't handball it. The first one would have been easy for a cheat to let go and the second one was ludicrous without the knowledge of the initial offside.

There is no way they will let us win this game
After all the carryon over the last few weeks I honestly believe VAR will have a huge say on the result.
Sevco will be getting more diving lessons all week and the outgoing head of the refs will have his best men lined up to give them a penalty at the slightest chance.
I know I'm talking rubbish but this is the way I feel before every game.

We just need to make sure we don't do anything stupid. As you say, they will be scrutinising the VAR to find any infringement caused by us.

I acknowledge the 2 previous (correct) decisions we got against them, but I also remember the rage and repercussions instigated by Sevco afterwards and the subsequent banning of Collum on their 'orders', Since then we have seen some ridiculous VAR decisions go against us - especially at Tynecastle, to ensure we dropped points and I am convinced the same will happen next weekend. Celtic had reams of evidence to blow them out of the water at BR's hearing and expose the string of anomalies in VAR 'interpretation' in specific games and failed to do so and that will signal more of the same, as we saw in the Livi game. We all know we have had plenty of our own problems to overcome, but too much of the SPL season has been influenced by VAR.

I need to be honest, while I agree there’s on field bias where certain minded individuals make bias decisions I think in most part it’s done by an unconscious mindset where like when we see things we see it from our own perspective and agenda, it’s wrong, it’s piss poor, but this thought there a conjuring of the title going to rangers well before a games played is just ridiculous, mistakes will be made through blue lenses in real-time, that’s the worry, let’s stop with the conspiracy of a wider nature, if we lose the league it’s because of poor summer recruitment and poor form losing games and drawing games we shouldn’t have done, that’s it.

Glasgow Celtic score enough goals and win the game, don't dive into challenges because Dessers, Divewell, Goldsen and all will do there usual, fall with minimum contact, l am sure Celtic years ago in Rodgers first stint as manager Celtic played at ipox, and hardly put in a challenge in the first half, and this was done deliberately, lam sure someone will know if this was correct or my mind is playing tricks on me.
