Heard it all before I’m afraid.

”There for the taking”

”We’ll never have a better chance”

”They’re playing shite we’re playing well”

And I’ve yet to see us ‘take’ either one of the Old Firm when they’ve supposedly been there for it.

Maybe if we had a goalscorer as I said like a Higdon, KvV or Moult to take the chance that you need to take when it comes we’d be in with a shout, but we simply don’t have that in our side. And at the back we are weak, even weaker without Welsh and were very lucky not to have been a couple of goals down against Aberdeen at half time last week. We would not have got away with that against Celtic, regardless of how poor they are by their standards.

Too many of our fans are getting carried away with themselves.

We have literally beaten Rangers twice at Ibrox in the last 2 seasons with teams that were much poorer than this one, having failed to do so in the previous 27 years.

We havent beaten Celtic at Parkhead for a while, but we have had a couple of creditible draws. Again with much poorer teams than this.

Nobody is getting carried away here. No one is saying we are going to pump Celtic, we may well lose.

But if you cant allow yourself to have just a little hope right now, Im not sure when you can.

Isnt that what following a shite wee diddy club is all about?

PS you do know we have scored more goals than Celtic this season, despite not having a striker like Higdon or KVV?

Don't you come round here brandishing facts. That's not what we do round here..

The first of the two wins over Rangers came completely out of the blue, nobody expected us to win that one. Celtic go into this in poor form and by the sounds of it quite a few of our fans actually think we are going to go there and beat them. That scenario never ends well.

We are playing some good football this season and I’m enjoying it, that won’t change when, not if, we lose against Celtic tomorrow but we need to be much sharper in the final third if we are to make our good play properly count going forward. I’m not going down the nonsensical route of trying to kid myself and others that “games against the OF don’t matter” because of course they do. I just don’t believe that this team is capable of going to Celtic Park tomorrow and getting anything.
