Hats off to Klopp, who is finally becoming a serial winner after years of being a popular nearly man at Elite level.

Was he though? Ok he has lost some one off cup finals but he did win 2 league titles with Dortmund in a league where no team has got close to Bayern in years. League wins say more about a manager than cup games IMO

As per every OF game (and all games tbh), midfield will be key. Does Davis return? Or do we keep with the Jack, Kamara, Arfield, Aribo, Kent set up?

I think there are pros and cons with regards to Davis returning. The pros for me is that he is cool head with a shed load of experience who keeps the ball well. The cons for me would be Davis, Jack and Kamara playing together is not positive enough for me. We need to go at them as their defence is very weak IMO. 

Its a hard call tbh

I've got a feeling that if Morelos scores one against them ,then the floodgates will open.

Jeso. Apologies...I blame the holidays ?????

Agree re. type of game but tend to think what actually happened was always on the cards whoever we played up front, ie. struggle to make clear cut chances against organised deep defence but over time we wear them down and eventually score. Having Morelos on the bench gave us an excellent option but IMO the goal itself was more about Jack and Aribo teeing up a relatively straightforward chance that you´d expect either AM or JD to tuck away.

 

The game on Sunday is a very different proposition and Alfredo will start, hopefully after a re-charging of the batteries.

Much of the focus will be on the Columbian but we´ll need all players to step-up. Ryan Kent being one who needs to lift his quality level and the defence maintain concentration.

 

 

Kent and Aribo could be key to Alfies success tomorrow IMO

Not the best game of football we are ever going to watch but it's 3 pts and a clean sheet. Job done

I'm glad you feel that way.  ??

I'm just surprised. Scotland is part of the UK. On the Union flag and all that

They won't qualify anyway, so it's a bit of a pointless debate.

 

Good luck to Israel and Serbia.

Sums you up in a nutshell

Davis missing is a big blow. A lot of pressure on Jack and Kamara

The origins of words are irrelevant. Their usage is what matters.

I agree 100% mate. I was not defending these idiots in any way. Was just making a comment on the origin of the word. ?

I don't mean to be disrespectful, mate, but I don't see the relevance of the Irishness?

Is the word Feni*n not derived from Irish revolters from 150 years ago?

I live in Ireland, my partner is Irish and my kids are Irish.  It's frankly embarrassing and honestly quite offensive that we still have fans saying or singing these things.  

I'm in a similair family set up mate. This stuff is just beyond depressing

Anyone singing the word fen1an last night, after all warnings we've had of stadium closures, should be banned for the rest of the season. They have demonstrated to the club that they will not listen without consequences. 

Why just until the end of the season? These idiots will just be back the following season with the same crap. Ban them for life.

Considering we are a club with a long, glorious and rich history, it truly staggers me that this is how these "fans" choose to display their affection for Rangers. 

Bravo to all Bears on here condemning these knuckle draggers. For all the apologists hang your heads in shame.

I hope Kamara plays well (if played). I really like him but he has been rather casual at times this season and I fear from the grumbles I've heard he could be quickly promoted as an easy whipping boy for some fans

The "hysteria" has more to do with Rangers than Cluj. If we were struggling and clearly not fit to contend they would quickly get over this like they did last year. The hysteria is largely down to the fact that they're terrified about the upcoming visit to Ibrox while we're all looking forward to it.

Bingo!

Sheridan has always been a Celtic fan. 

Paranoia TV is about mad Tom's level tbh. The guy is class A idiot

The one positive from this game is that the manager wont get much grief when he drops most of these players.  Edmundson, Aribo and Defoe (obviously) have performed.  Fod has done well when called upon.  Hellander still isn't fit which is obvious but the rest are just not good enough to break into a starting spot.  Kamara has secured his place as our 6th best midfielder.  I hate having to say this about a player of ours bit he is awful and really needs to sharpen up quickly.

A bit harsh Gaffer. I reckon if we played our regular XI the game wouldn't have been too different. I'd rather judge these players in bigger games not cup matches in trying conditions

Barker wont get much game time whereas Middleton will play most minutes in most games at Hibs.

I think Barker will get more minutes than some people think 

Still a strong, strong side. Come on Rangers!!

I hope he takes his chance with ROI? They are a better set up and he will have a better chance of making finals. Good luck to him!

Eh? Have you seen their squad?

Exactly. I also couldn’t tell you who the Scotland manager is. 

 

Edit: who is it btw?

Yes, it was genuine.  Someone at Celtic got the sack over it.  Though the rumour is that it was Kennedy's hand holding it... a "low level staffer" was fired.

Thanks for that. That is hilarious. Is Kennedy untouchable at Celtic? Must have pics of Liewell in a compromised position
