"Rangers - Celtic"

Old Firm match at Ibrox tomorrow.

Score predictions please. Yes I know all rules on form and team strength go out the window, but it is a good guessing game.

Celtic are on a high after beating Lyon. However they are facing a large injury list and have several key defenders either out or just coming back from injury.

Rangers are probably irritated and feel they have something to prove after losing a late goal to Panathinikos to only get a draw. However, most players are fit and with Peter Lovenkrands on top form he will be a big problem for the Celtic defence.

I think 3 - 1 to Rangers.

It depends really. The Premiership is one of the best leagues in the world, if not the best. But I can't see him leaving Champions League football for a mid-table Premiership side.

I thought Gray was actually ok. He took the ball down the wing well a few times, and adjusted fairly well to the match.

And Varga has proved himself to be a relatively good defender that can cover when others are out (like now, with Mjallby and Valgaeren out).

Wouldn't you want to leave?

The only people Celtic signed were Varga and Michael Gray ON LOAN!

All Gray did the WHOLE match was punt the ball wildly away. No, I am being serious.

I was surprised by that result greatly. Algy said to me in the presence of his Rangers supporting girlfriend "we beat you nanananana". He got slapped in the Odeon for that.

Martin O'Neill won't be going ANYWHERE, this season, after a result like that, and just what it could do for Celtic's season (at domestic level, anyway).

Finished 1-0 to Celtic, which is a fantastic score, considering the game was being played at Ibrox with Celtic having a lot of injury problems.

Chris Sutton proved amazing at the back, and they may well have to play him there more often now, as he played great at centre half, and got man of the match as well.

Watched the Liverpool Vs Arsenal match.                                  
                                                                           
Turned it to the Celtics at half-time to see Hartson score within 17 seconds of the second half.                                              

2-1 to rangers

So you're predicting a close game. I'd like to see one. Rangers-Celtic is always a great game, unless either team is hugely hit by injuries. I would like to see a close game but with Rangers nicking it in the end.

Celtic are looking good, but I think there defence is going to let them down.

Prediction:
HT - Rangers 2 Celtic 1
FT - Rangers 3 Celtic 2

Oh that's what you said. I only read half way.
