What are the pre‑match expectations for Celtic and Rangers in the Old Firm opener?
Hello, this is Noel Gallagher. The Celtic fans to my left, they're up. Rangers are two goals to nil up. I've said it to many, many people, you haven't been in a football game since you've been on that one. The Celtic bench absolutely explodes with joy. A superb piece of play by Rangers on the breakaway. Now it's nil to five. I've been to derby games. I've been to Manchester derbies. And it's a goal for Celtic and a beautiful goal. I've been to big football matches, World Cup matches. And Sandy Clark scores for Rangers. The European Championship semi-finals are up. Celtic are back in business. Rangers back in the match. There's nothing but nothing compared to that. Gary Hooper. KB Cooper lined up the shot. Snatches a goal at the death.
You just haven't done football until you've been to an old firm game. It's as simple as that. It beat Pat Bonner at his left-hand post. There he comes on top. You've got it. Celtic come out of their huddle. A goal that has set Celtic Park alight. Every Rangers player, they're embracing each other. Very close to the end of this old firm match. Drama in vain. It was just a fantastic day
out. First for Celtic versus Rangers, this is Clyde One Super Scoreboard.
Good morning and welcome to Clyde One Super Scoreboard for the first league old firm meeting of the new season. But after last week's League Cup humbling and a midweek European disappointment, does this one mean more to Martin O'Neill and Celtic? That said, win today and go eight points clear of their city rivals. Whatever happens, it will be the last ball kicked in domestic football before a lengthy international break and it promises to be unmissable. I'm Gordon Duncan and joining me in the studio you have Gordon DL, Cammy Bell and Hugh Keevans. Make
or break for Martin O'Neill. His team selection looks like the last throw of the dice to convince the Celtic fans he still has what it takes to remain as manager. Meanwhile, Rangers Derek McInnes has taken the attitude that if it ain't broke, don't Don't fix it. This is the old firm in the raw. The stakes are high. The consequences will be severe for the loser. This
is the game of the season. I can't disagree with that. I've never looked forward to a game of this old firm as much as I'm looking forward to this afternoon, Gordon. I've got to say, the team's very interesting. We'll get that later on from Andrew and Scott over it. Celtic part I agree with you Martin O'Neill is a legend at Celtic Football Club of that there's no doubt this is massive he has to get a result today for me
so much at stake today and that's the big thing Martin O'Neill's had such a terrible week you know that result against Rangers last weekend followed up by the Fennes Farosh defeat at home but all can be turned around if he gets three points today because it would take them eight points clear to of Rangers at the top of the table and for Rangers can they continue this form that they're in that massive win against Celtic convincing absolute dominant display last weekend can they back that up with another one at Celtic Park today and it would not matter if these sides met every week every day twice a day there would still be the same fascination and debate about who is going to play and who's going to be left out especially for Celtic this time so let's go to Celtic Park where kick-off is 10 minutes away Scott Allen is there and we're going to get the team news as well take it away
Yes, it's change of personnel for Celtic, but maybe more importantly, it's change of shape for Celtic. They were dominated by Rangers at Ibrox last week, so Martin O'Neill and his staff have made that switch. Out go Hasim Hassan, James Forrest and Oliver Sorensen. Income, Austin Trustee, Luke McCowan and Benjamin Negrin from their midweek defeat to Ferencvaros. So, it's Williami Sinisalo who keeps his place in goal, then a back three. Cameron Carter-Vickers, Austin Trustee and Liam Scales. Colby Donovan and Kieran Tierney will be the wing-backs. In midfield, it'll be Mika Bauer and Callum McGregor as the two deeper midfielders, Luke McCowan and Benjamin Negrin, supporting Camilo Duran.
