pj_1872 0 Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 Typical tabloid nonsense. Though with the amount of headlines like this I think it only serves to add more pressure to the Celtic team. I'm sure our players are well aware that they're being given little chance in this game by the media but that's a good thing. They just have to go out and play the high tempo game we've played all season. I don't believe for a second the size of the occasion will phase our management or players. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhunter 0 Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 TBF to the gremlin the content doesn't match the headline and you can expect way worse than this in the build up to the actual game. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

madnutter010203 0 Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 Prepared or not I'm willing to wage money on the fact that should we {probably expectedly} lose, our manager will not follow in the footsteps of O'Neil, Lennon and countless others from the east end and start wailing about conspiracies or cheating. I really don't think we'll lose, I fully expect to beat them. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ian1964 10,514 Posted March 28, 2016 Author Share Posted March 28, 2016 What would Lennon know about coping with an old firm match? TLB will learn from our manager how to remain dignified on the touch line win,lose or draw. TLB has just been sacked for taking his club down to the bottom of the league!,compare to MW who had taken his team to the brink of the EPL!,I don't think there is much advice he could give our manager! 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Widget 1 Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 Just another headline to pin on the dressing room wall along with the hartson and sutton comments. Nervous they are as yoda would say. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

pete 2,499 Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 Is Neil Lennon right about Mark Warburton? How managers have fared on their Celtic v Rangers debuts 14:01, 28 Mar 2016 Updated 19:44, 28 Mar 2016 By Record Sport Online WE’VE trawled the archives – with the help of Gavin Berry and Michael Gannon – to find out if history proves Lennon’s theory is correct. NEIL LENNON reckons nothing will prepare Mark Warburton for next month’s Scottish Cup semi-final showdown against Celtic. The former Hoops boss believes the fixture between the Glasgow giants is a baptism of fire that proves too hot for relative rookies. But is he right? Here Record Sport Online dips into the archives to find out how other managers have fared on their derby debuts. We’ve started our Old Firm fact-finding mission from the mid-80s so here goes... RANGERS Graeme Souness May 1986: Won 3-2 (Glasgow Cup Final) Walter Smith August 1991: Won 2-0 Dick Advocaat September 1998: Drew 0-0 Alex McLeish February 2002: Won 2-1 (League Cup) Paul Le Guen September 2006: Lost 0-2 Ally McCoist September 2011: Won 4-2 Kenny McDowall February 2015: Lost 2-0 (League Cup) And the winner is... In seven debuts a Rangers manager has lost only two games. CELTIC image: http://i4.dailyrecord.co.uk/incoming/article6956022.ece/ALTERNATES/s615b/Celtic-legend-David-Hay.png Celtic manager David Hay David Hay August 1983: Lost 1-0 (Glasgow Cup Final) Liam Brady August 1991: Lost 2-0 Lou Macari (with Frank Connor) October 1993: Won 2-1 Tommy Burns August 1994: Won 2-0 Wim Jansen November 1997: Lost 2-0 Dr Jo Venglos September 1998: Drew 0-0 John Barnes November 1999: Lost 4-2 Kenny Dalglish March 2000: Lost 1-0 Martin O’Neill August 2000: Won 6-2 Gordon Strachan August 2005: Lost 3-1 Tony Mowbray October 2009: Lost 2-1 Neil Lennon May 2010: Won 2-1 Ronny Deila February 2015: Won 2-0 (League Cup) And the winner is... In 13 debuts a Celtic manager has lost eight games. OVERALL CONCLUSION In 19 derbies the debutants have lost ten with Rangers managers faring better than their Old Firm rivals. Read more at http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/neil-lennon-right-mark-warburton-7641386#vDXMGyJKOXfbpjbF.99 Seems Rangers managers do OK as debutants. All this crap says nothing though. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

boabie 230 Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 I really don't think we'll lose, I fully expect to beat them. The bookie will give you long odds on your being wrong. But as I said, if we go at them , my money like yours will be safe. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
