So I'm hoping we see a good match.
Goals first and foremost and there's going to be a lot of pressure on both sides.
It is, but in this season I don't think it actually fits the fixture, you look at Celtic here, first half they were unplayable under Wilfred Nancy, in second half Rangers came out and got the three points, so I just think whoever defends better on the day and take their chances, there's a lot of expectation on Dyson Maeda, of course there is, he has been the catalyst for Celtic of recent weeks with that press leading from the front.
There's still obviously a question mark.
He had a couple of chances last week at Easter Road he didn't take, and then he eventually gets one.
He won't get as many today, I wouldn't imagine, but both sides.
Cermete made a massive expectation on both.
Honestly, today, Andrew, I don't think even the first goal decides where this fixture is going to result.
Yeah, listen, I think Celtic started quite brightly in the game and then Rangers on that counter-attack.
Look at the one Mikey Moore slides to me and he just drags his shot wide.
Maeda's chance is huge, isn't it?
The one he puts by the post.
But I just think for the first Rangers goal, from their perspective, they obviously get the squeeze.
Celtic's a really good press.
Great vision from Fernandes and Fernandes has done some unbelievable things in this first half.
and then a couple of minutes later does some unbelievable bad things at the same time he's not the finished article but I agree with what Cammy said in the show that he's got potential his potential he's got a high ceiling and Celtic then grew back into the game
I spoke about McCown I actually thought McCown really struggled in the early part of the game it looks as if it was too fast for him he obviously gets caught in the ball for the Rangers goal but then you see why he's in the team and why he's chose to go him out in that position coming narrow in the pitch and it's lovely vision great disguise pass for the run into the box from Engels and again it then falls to Engels lifts his head picks out Yang and it's a great
It's a great equaliser from a Celtic point of view, but the game is on a knife edge, there's been some of the crowd reaction, there's a bit of contact on each other, both teams have been, they've looked threatening at times without dominating in the final third, that's what I would say, but I still think the substitutions are going to have a massive impact on this game, if it's not that...
it's going to come from a mistake, because you look at the long balls, a couple of times just before the end of the first half there, Trusty just can't read the ball coming out there, Mikey Moore, Robbins, Charmier putting real pressure on them, so I'll say again, I think whoever defends well today, if they take their chances, they can go away with three points, but two of the goals from both teams' perspective have been good, Mikey Moore obviously in the follow-up, exactly what you'd want from one of your creative players, I just feel Celtic have got their tails up now.
I just think out of possession, Luke McCowan was struggling within the game.
