Go to Celtic against Rangers tomorrow 12:30 in the East End of Glasgow we’ll be on live and with us tonight the next two hours the former Celtic star Andy Walker and the former ragers captain and Legend Barry Ferguson looking forward to the massive game tomorrow the headlines tonight for Celtic there’s no Cameron
Carter Vickers first reaction he’s not fit he’s not making it Andy how big a blow oh it’s a huge blow I I think it’s a huge blow Paul because when you think about last season and I know that kyogo was the player of the year I think in a
Lot of Celtics supporters Minds Cameron Carter Vickers was just as impressive he was a great leader he was a great captain and he’s really struggled to shake off that injury for some time now and you could see in the game against dunde that I think he knew immediately
That it was a bad one you know when you’re holding your hamstring like that it never looks good bar you said a couple of weeks ago he’s the best defender at the moment in the country big blow for Celtic massive blow um I thought he strolled the game on a day
Den’s Park um and then obviously in the second half it pulls up again with with this hamstring injury and obviously it’s a an issue and it’s an issue that Celtic seriously need need to get to the the bottom off cuz as Andy’s mentioned there he’s probably alongside Alan McGregor as Celtics most
Important player for Rangers the big news is well Connor goon the manager still waiting till tomorrow to decide if he’s fit uh he trained he trained and so we will uh we will assess this afternoon and tomorrow what to do with that but he did do the training today no we we will
See tomorrow and it’s with with all the squad like that there were a couple of others also it’s normal this this period if you see where also the team who played most games uh these last couple of weeks so uh I did some things in training not too much and and I will
Make my decisions tomorrow after watching back the training and after speaking with with the dock in in the medical stuff Barry any other surprises it sounds as though do you think Conor goon will make it you just need to be wait to see how he reacts after the the
Training session Paul but if listen if he’s no issues he’s a certain start he’s a big player for Rangers he’s a leader at the back he’s a good communicator um but I think they’ll wait to um tomorrow morning and once he wakes up if he’s no issues then cornor goon will certainly
Be the start 11 what about the news yesterday we brought about the loan signing Silva from wolves clearly he doesn’t come officially until the 1 until Monday um psychologically doesn’t do any harm does it bring you in a 35 million pound laan Striker yeah I was
Just about to say that a couple of years ago WIS obviously bought them for 35 million from Porto good he’s been out in loan a couple of times he’s been involved in the um in the wills team this season I listen to garyan Neil the WIS manager saying that he needs to get
A bit of game time and he expects to get out at Rangers so yep it’s good to see that Rangers are starting H their business early and I would fully expect another two or three players in po some other news from Celtic hatti and abada you’ve seen well abad’s been out for four
Months I think Andy two months for hatti look to be in the squad tomorrow yeah they’re in the squad I I I don’t think either of them will start I think if you are looking at them both being being fit and and sharp they would both play they
Would both add to Celtics threat Celtics um you know control of the game for the middle of Park and I think they’ve they’ve missed that in some of the big games I think they were very good very impressive Relentless against indee but it’s a different game tomorrow and I
Think you want all the experience that you can that you can get and it may be a big problem with with Celtic at the back with no cter Vickers H it looks as old lager beela is is nowhere to be seen nski is nowhere to be seen that Phillips
Nowhere to be seen there’s been a lot of money spent on that position in the summer and it just hasn’t worked out so I don’t think anyone could have foreseen you know Liam scales get into this game alongside Steven Welsh but it looks that way Brendon Rogers spoke about the
Confidence he has in Steven Welsh absolutely as you seen Ste we played against fard and played very very well um I very liked seeing him I I I brought him with me as a young player when I was here first time around and he was um
He’s only a kid then but he’s really matured St maybe hasn’t played so much as he would have liked but only because of the the form of Cam and um and Carl Starfield when he was here uh so that was the challenge for him but he’s
Always there as a loyal support to play and I know that I can trust him when when I put him in so uh so if he’s the guy that gets the chance to play then uh I’ve I’ve got every faith that he can perform and this is what he had to say
About hatti and the bad yeah well we’re just hopefully they they’ve they’ve trained and uh Le a little bit longer so we don’t want to rush them but uh but if they come through well today then they’ll be uh they’ll be involved in the in the squad for tomorrow yeah but well
If you think of the the two of them they’ve not featured so much really at all over the course of this first part of the season and they’re obviously two players that really contributed over the last few seasons so um so yeah they’re excited to be back um like you say I’m
Just mindful of of the stage that they’re at but they’re they’ve shown up well in training they’re happy and want to be involved and then we’ll we’ll see hopefully they’ve come through with no ill effects after today well yeah they’re both very good performers I
Think leel is is a player that he’s a he’s a goal scorer who obviously he plays wide but he’s for me he’s a goal scorer so uh I think he’s record in terms of he’s been here goals to games is very very good um so I know he just
Wants to get back on the field again it’s been a challenging few months for him with injury and everything else but um but but he looks really good in training and um yeah if I need him over the course of tomorrow or the coming the rest of the season sorry then I’ll be
Happy to do that and R is a is a big Talent so um so be great to have him back so Andy does that mean up front it’s Palmer and MAA along with kyogo who who do you think’s going to start yeah I think it’ll be Palma I think it’ll be
MAA and obviously you’re looking for yet again another big performance from kyogo his record in this game what is it half a dozen maybe six or seven games he has played against Rangers and he seems to score every time he looks dangerous every time the only goal of the game at
Hbrooks earlier this season it was a tremendous finish he needs better service um he’s not been as sharp as he was he’s not having many efforts at goal as as he as he used to have I thought was a bit unlucky with the time he went through dink it over the goalkeeper it
Just went past the post but um as long as you’re always in those positions to miss to to try and score and as I say his record in this game that is why you want him playing from the start tomorrow let’s get the Rangers latest we mentioned about Connor goon he was asked
Again about him for the team tomorrow I cannot answer really today because uh some Trend but it’s not sure yet if they will have a reaction or not so that’s why I I don’t want to say say it too fast because otherwise people think that
I play games I don’t like to play games and to say that somebody’s in and then this afternoon he feels a little bit reaction from the training and we’re not going to do stupid risk to to lose players for the rest of the season so um so it’s better to make the assessment
Tomorrow and uh and then it’s clear we’ll still push you bar for your team and you two Andy uh for tomorrow um obviously big news last night with Silva signing for Rangers what about Lauren shankland so and what about that goal in the derby the other
Day yeah I I watched the game and um I don’t think that the quality was great but listen sometimes you get that in Derby games poll and I thought watching laen Shanklin as I have done um a lot of the Season it was probably his worst game but that’s what quality players do
When they don’t have a good game to come up with that one bit of magic and I’ve got to bonish I thought it was a brilliant goal brilliant finish he’s leaned into the defender me he’ll be able to tell you better cuz he was an ex forward himself but it’s cute play leans
Into the defender takes into the box and he’s actually going off balance and he’s um he’s wrong foot he he places it right into the top B um Quality quality goal as I said I’ve seen him play better but I think overall he’s his entire game has
Improved so much I think it’s the same of a good player when you’re you’re not having your best game and you can still come up with a goal like that a top class finish think of the Finish he had against St M tank Castle left foot again
Top top drawer he scored um against Celtic at Park head header he scored against Rangers at I Brooks um he’s absolutely in the I think he’s in the form of his life when everyone’s talking about whether he’s going to stay or whether he might be um available for
Transfer so he certainly hit uh the East timing is absolutely perfect for for himself for him to get the the best deal whether that’s stay at hearts or or moving elsewhere but I think the the big move for him came when he went to to Belgium I think when he come back his
His overall game improved enormously and I think you can see that it’s evident in in his game every week and he’s he’s obviously the the captain though y Barry is he going to be linking up with sa Fabio Silva at Rangers I’m sure that I
Mean a lot of people say it might not happen now but I would be surprised really surprised if Rangers still ain’t interested in them I still think they need another forward Kar roof’s going about for two stroke three month um des’s listen he’s starting to produce good good moments at this um at
This time but for me if he’s going to be at the price round about2 million pound I think Rangers be crazy not to look at the manager this afternoon was asked Philip clong was asked are you going to sign another Striker H good question I said from the
Beginning I’m I’m not going to speak about those things so uh there’s a really clear plan with the boards with everybody in the club what we want and I hope that we can succeed in that in January to do everything that we have in mind we will
See like I always hope also that we win every game so um you work hard I know and that I know and that’s why I’m also relaxed I know everybody in the club is working really hard to get the best things possible um that every body super
Motivated to do that that there’s a really good Dynamic vibe in this building with a lot of young ambitious people who want to make this club better and better so that’s what we’re going to do the the next five weeks to get the best things possible for the club but I
Know also it’s January so it’s a special period it’s winding up to some 24 hours Barry and quite an interesting jary you’re thinking something there about the striker yeah also I forgot about theil out for another couple of month with after a new operation Sea’s just
Been called up with senal um for the African Cup in Nations um so I believe that Rangers will bring another Center forward then and I would be surprised if it’s if it won’t be long shank I’m going to take some calls then what are you thinking 08087 17700 or join the conversation
With Andy and Barry at go football show I should have said we had a good Christmas both of you we just came straight out the traps marvelous what a great time to be with the family that’s really all you were looking for it was
Nice to have a few of them around at the house and uh good time had by all yeah good and the Fergusons too yeah but just the same as Andy having the three kids together you don’t generally get that a lot and so it was BR to have them and
The mom and dad’s up as well ate plenty of food and drank a a couple of glasses of your favorite pole champagne who’s going to be on the champagne tomorrow late afternoon after the big game 12:30 kickoff Celtic against Rangers loads of calls coming in 0808 17 17 700 so the
Other gamees aberin against St Marin St Marin on a poor run at the moment and Aberdine just desperate to play Harts against Ross County Harts third best at the moment after a tough start to the season karuk fourth top of the table against Andi and Barry did say Andy he
Won’t say it he’s too modest he said European place for kuk early in the season will happen B oh good worked and mother against Livy my goodness a lot riding one isn’t it tomorrow it’s just amazing that mother will what is it 15 16 games where they haven’t won and yet
They’re still a bit of distance between them and Livy and if they win tomorrow they could go level with some clubs above them it’s it’s a an astonishing run but they really need a home win tomorrow it’s going to be tough they do Barry don’t they Four Points between
Them yeah obviously watching the game at the weekend I thought the first half were pretty poor look the weather conditions weren’t great for Park but I thought the second half um that that’s a model that that you seen at the start of the season they put a bit of pressure on
Rangers but Rangers obviously held out and but that that game at F par tomorrow at 3:00 and that’s there’s going to be a few nerves about there but I think with the quality that M will have got and I think they’ll have far too much for
Livings should we hear from some of the players first up the Celtic Captain cuz he well listen we’re going to talk about lots of the players none more so important than Callum McGregor he’s been over the course so many times how are the players feeling about the game
Players can’t wait you know when these games come around then you know there’s always excitement surrounding the game inside the building outside the building so it’s it’s just our job to to stay calm and and understand you know what we need to do what we need to bring to the
Game to to make a success um so the players trained well this morning and and like I said we’re ready to go look forward to and what’s he thinking about Rangers yeah we’ve seen we’ve seen the stuff we’ve been watching bits of the games um you know what they are is
They’re in a good moment um they feel good about themselves so you know that that brings a natural bounce and energy um and like I said it just then up to us it’s a home game for us we have to to go and and take the game to them and and
Implement our style on the game and and uh like I said try and be successful in the game so you know I don’t see too much change in in terms of actual style if you watch the games um but but what they are in is is a sort of confident
Mood and and they’ll come for a confidence as well so it’ll uh it’ll make for a good game and Dave what can you say about K McGregor that hasn’t been said before and tomorrow is the kind of game that he could thrive in yeah he’s just made that transition to
Captain seamless from Scott Brown who you might have thought might have been a problem for Celtic to find a uh a leader who has as much influence as he did but I think K mcgreger has shown both with club and country that he can perform at
A really high level he’s one of the first names you put on the team Sheet alongside mat Ry there I think um you know Celtic have got two obviously um uh names that are first down in your team shooting it be I I think it’ll be Bernardo given his performance at Dundee
The goal H the fact that they want want to get a bit of understanding in the middle of the park and uh I thought he showed up well at Den’s Park and that’s why I think you’ll get the nod again tomorrow just looking at the team the
Last time round when they played it was a Riley McGregor and Turnbull and we know turno has been in and out Barry but you wouldn’t expect him to start tomorrow would you no I would expect to three it started at Den’s Park Paul call McGregor’s a certainty and so as um M Ry
Um and I agree with what Andy just says there Bernardo I think that’s his best game in her a Celtic shirt he played a bit further forward he looked to go up and supported the strikers and obviously got that goal and but he can handle the
Ball as well um so y I fully expect the three started against Dy start tomorrow against Rangers and Andy your team then you’ve virtually given it haven’t you I take it Joe Hart and goal yeah Joe Hart and goal you’re looking at the back four are Johnson and Taylor as your field
Backs and it looks as though it’s going to be Welsh in scales with Cameron Carter bickers out out injured it doesn’t look as well lager be has got a future Matt Philip mat Philips is is nowhere near it so it looks like scales in Welsh and then in the middle of the
Park my Gregor oy I I think Bernardo will continue in that role that he had at Den where I thought he played well in the front three you’re you’re looking at Palmer kogo and Ma I think I know Mikey Johnson got a couple of goals but I think sometimes he’s may be better
Coming off the bench um and it’s good for him to to get a couple of goals he’s um I think he may be divides opinion on with some Celtic supporters who think he’s maybe been there too long not not made a a big enough impact um and the
Only way you can change that is by playing well scoring goals he got a couple against dunde if he could come on tomorrow and get one against Rangers then that changes everyone’s perception of them you play MAA down the left to to pin back Jam Tav who’s been arguably
Rangers best player well tavir always gets himself forward I think when you look at the way Rangers um um are going to play I don’t know what Barry thinks but I don’t think Y Mar will play at left back I think if you’ve got a big game for Rangers you always turn to
Barisich because again he’s got the experience he’s got the know how he’s one of the players that’s been to Celtic Part and actually won a game so uh I think that’s important Barry that is important to be over the course before and to have played in these games yeah I
Think if barisich is is fit and available he he plays tomorrow there’s no doubt in my mind if it was my choice I would I would play Baris at left back listen in the past he’s had a bit of hard time when a bad has played against him but listen he knows the
Games he’s played in enough of them you know what to expect now so if he’s fit and available yep bar plays at left back for me what’s your team then tomorrow for Rangers um it’ll be buin and goals Back 40 T here goson balagan and and barisich um he’s been pretty quite on
Lrom I don’t know the case of lrom is available he plays in and besides Sterling and can’t M just in front but if lom’s not available D who to be fair to him come in and last couple of games done really well scored a really good
Goal against M and then the front three is mland SEMA and Des through the middle it was good one two wasn’t it with Des for he’s you can see the confidence is now slowly starting to come through with with Des he still got a bit to go but
What one thing you can’t label against him Paul is he’s he’s work EIC he works very hard just the quality you want to see a bit more of but certainly his games come on um a fair bit in the last couple of weeks big game for mland the
Fe plays cuz obviously someone who’s come through H the ranks there and every supporter loves to see you know someone like that breaking through making an impact which he has done and uh there’s no bigger stage for him to try and and perform and make a difference than parkhead tomorrow what about Lindstrom
It was suggested on the show last night he might make it I mean it looked as though he’d be out for a couple of weeks but he could make it it was a pure Challenge on him um couple of weeks ago if he’s FIT tomorrow yeah I think he he
Would play he’s got the drive he’s got the determination is it going to be a physical contest I mean I don’t think Celtics shy away from that I do think they could do a well a bit of physicality themselves but uh lrom certainly one that can compete win the
Ball and you know give it to those rangers have got a bit of pace in the team that’s H that’s where the danger is especially uh the likes of SEMA SEMA of course is uh second top scorer for Rangers be behind Taver and there’s all the chat about Silva coming in and
Sema’s future the loan deal could it be transferred in the summer could it become a signing I don’t think Rangers would be able to afford them if they’re talking the seven or 8 million pound mark mean I don’t know the budgets in terms of what’s going to be available in
The summer but listen one thing about sea is he’s he’s come on a game he’s he scored goals Paul an all different type of goals outside the box he’s head close in two or three yards which is a forward’s favorite goal and um listen he’s he’s been r one of Rangers most
Consistent players since Philip clemont’s come in and what I love about him as well Paul he does a dirty side brilliantly he works so hard for the team sometimes you see them so many times in the left back area making last scks tackles um so yep he’s certainly a
Player that’s um come on since the new manager arrived deser has been speaking to the media today for Rangers and he was asked what what you going to expect from this your first old firm game um I expect an intense afternoon but I actually like it um we played a couple
Of weeks ago in CV and um yeah I think I like these nights uh when everybody’s against you and I think our team likes it as well and uh of course uh Rangers have have a good experience with like these European away games as well so yeah we we’re looking forward to it
Course his first at Celtic Park he played the last time I yeah can I just say to big man it’s nothing like B believe me I know the the atmosphere was good over and B but listen you’re a cauldon fire and electricity when you go in in a Celtic party you’ll experience
Something that he’s never experienced before in his life um but listen I like when he talks Paul um that’s why I’m desperate for him to do so well he’s he’s got a brilliant attitude he’s look’s struggled at times but he has scored a few goals and as I said earlier
On I see his game starting to come on and improve a bit Andy as a striker do you see a a top player in there potentially yeah potentially I think at the start of the Season he struggled I didn’t know what his strengths were he looked out of sorts along with a number
Of the the signings but to be fair to phelip clont since he’s come in I think he’s improved everyone’s level of performance they’re a better team as well as been better individuals and that’s so important do you know where we’re going quick break and then we’re
Going to Chris a Celtic fan and gin the Go Radio football show with global Eco energy for your free energy home survey and a Spoke quot call 0800 23578 let’s go so let’s go to G we’ve got Andy Walker bar Ferguson and me Paul K hi Chris good evening uh good evening
Lads how are we yeah really good thank you good chis how are you ah not bad not bad um it was more just obviously big ccvs out tomorrow Celtic it’s just who do you guys think will first of all partner Liam skills at Center half who would you like to
See who who would I like to see is possibly different from who will start I think he’ll start Steven Wales who’s not put a foot wrong but I would prefer lagab beela I think but I think he’ll go with Steven Welsh I don’t know what you
Guys think Andy yeah I think you’ll go with Steven Welsh as well uh it it just seems you just get the feeling that uh rosi has been nowhere to be seen I thought when lager Bea come on in the European game and scored that last minute winner you thought he might be
Involved again but he was immediately you know bent from the squad so um no I don’t I just maybe one of those where the manager just does not fancy him and um obviously the um you know getting him in the door was maybe before brandan Rogers got
There and there seems to be a good number of players that uh you know Brendon doesn’t fancy so I don’t know how the I don’t know how it works there at the moment with the way that players are coming in I think what is absolutely clear Chris is that um Celtic need to
Strengthen again in that department they spent a lot of money in the summer but it certainly hasn’t worked out I don’t I don’t see either lager Bea or nooski having a a future there Barry if you were choosing the Celtic team who would you play I think it’ll be Welsh yep um I
Think after Andy just um said there after he scored the goal in the Europe game you think right this could kick start his his Celtic career but he wasn’t even involved in 18 and the game after um but he clearly he fancies Welsh over lager Bela nooski I think is he
Still injured I don’t even know if he’s back fit or not um he’s been on the bench a couple times Barry yeah he’s been on the bench as Chris just mentioned there but it’s clear that they spent a lot of money on him but Brandon Rogers in my eyes rates um Welsh more
Than he does both the players that I’ve just mentioned what else are you thinking ahead of the game Chris to be honest it’s one of these games where as everyone says it’s an old clich you know the form book goes out the window but what what would say is and I don’t know
If Andy and you bar agree with me if there’s any possibility the r hat and Le laad are both even 70 80% fit they’ve got to be on the bench at least I don’t know if you guys agree with me on that I just think that hatti is one of those
Players he can change a game and control the game are we B K McGregor and I think offers you a different sort of wide player Chris there will come a time when they come back to full fitness it would be very difficult to imagine them starting the game but if they were ready
For you know for 20 minutes for half an hour whether that’s Celtic trying to consolidate or whether it’s Celtic trying to you know get back in the game or go for a win um I I agree with you Abad makes he makes Celtic tick there’s just a a chemistry with him and Gregor
And O in the middle of the park that look so good at times last season and um Abad is another one a bit like kyogo he’s got this tremendous record in this big game so anytime he’s he’s fitting well you would welcome him back into the
Team but do you agree about personally I hope both of them involved but I think both of them if they’ve trained today and they’ve come through the session I think they’ll be certainly on the bench and they’re two players that that um they’re quality players a he’s a go
Scoring wide player that are really hard to find and hatti when he’s fully fit in my eyes he’s a he’s a top M field player Chris mentioned uh you know the form goes out the window is that true and I’m thinking yeah it’s been the case a
Number of times when I’ve went these games when we have in between both um both old F games that we’ve won eight in a row and Celtic maybe have won five and lost one and Drew a couple you won his favorites and obviously you come away
With a defeat and I do see it’s who turns up in the day it’s who wants it more who brings the most quality of the game that generally wins huge for Phil Kong as well isn’t when you think about it because you know people forget Michael be was doing well at the
Beginning and then another thing that I wouldn’t get too carried away was his Celtics form over the last few weeks I wouldn’t look think be over confident you still got to look at the Celtic team and there is quality and there’s players that can hurt you but I do think with a
New manager being in place I think he does respect what he’s coming up against and I think that’s important he’s passed every test hasn’t he he’s he’s improved Rangers some of the individuals he’s improved them as a team he’s won such a difficult away match in Europe um and
He’s won a trophy of course and now you come to the biggest away away test of all can you go to parkhead can you play obviously no fans there we’ve spoken about that before but um this is the biggest test that he will face any the short time he’s been there what about
The fans what about the atmosphere here’s Brendon Ro it does it does it if it rolls down out of the the stands onto the field it can it can be a great bu for the players that emotion that real positivity it’s um yeah it’s something
That like you say we Celtic is all about that you know that that relationship between the supporters and and the players and and that encouragement so uh so yes see to feel that I still think the game is is best whenever there’s uh a way support there that that’s my
Honest take on it but it’s our turn to play at home with all our supporters and we will’ll Rel that yep Chris I think everyone agrees here yep we’d love to see the opposition fans look look at the other night yeah I’m just about to say
You took the words out my mouth I’m sure Chris watched the game I’m sure Andy watched the game I’m sure I’m sure you watched the game watched the hibs hearts and there was 4,000 Hearts fans um and I thought the atmosphere was was brilliant obviously you’re watching on T TV sorry
You’re not at the actual game but that’s it brings so much to uh these these t b games no fun games um and it’s listen it’s just sad in M that it’s not the way it was 6 seven years ago Gris what you thinking on that for tomorrow well you guys obviously already
Know my opinion on it as I said been on before about it I you know me I would prefer you know there to be Rangers fans there because as I say and it’s not just it’s not just for me I actually be at the game tomorrow I’m going to the game
So but it’s not just for being at the game I’m thinking about the new fan who maybe doesn’t follow Celtic Rangers does maybe lives in England doesn’t watch a lot of Scottish football and they must be looking at that going look at that you get Man City man united fans man man
United Liverpool and they can’t let Rangers fans and it’s just the The two clubs have to sit down and just sort out Andy Ian Crocker is he really neutral I know he is I wored with him years ago I’m joking is he’s absolutely neutral there is the ultimate neutral isn’t he I
Know that it’s a great shame for him as well because he enjoys the yeah the color of it all and list I think I think the truth is they cannot stand the sight of one another the people that make the decisions and it’s going to be some time
Before it is fixed but I’m sure Bar’s the same I’ve had that experience I’ve been to I’ve been to hbrooks and I’ve scored in at the the Celtic end it’s one of the the Great Moments of your of your career and it’s always good to go into
The the lines then knowing that you have uh some supporters there that are obviously wanting you to to win and it’s it’s a great spectacle for um the whole of Britain and Beyond and it’s such a Pity that both clubs just seem to want to water it down was that 88 at hbrooks
When there was a that was 87 when Frank was on his best behavior and told Billy would be a big player that day and he get sent off after a about of course Frank mavi Chris what’s going to happen tomorrow oh well I better go that fence
Don’t want it get too KY um I see to be honest it’s one of those I would I would love to see a Celtic win I think obviously I’d I’d love a Celtic win you know I think Celtic two 2-1 I would say 2-1 and is kyogo going to get
A goal I mean he did score last week of course do you think he’s going to get the right Supply as as long as as long as you get the right Supply your Strikers they’ll always have a chance of scoring you know but to be honest as as as a Celtics F
You know I wouldn’t really care you know if it came off Greg Taylor’s you know right foot and with in a goal I really don’t care somebody puts it behind Jack botland I don’t really care Chris thanks very much for calling all the best 0808 1717 700 a Rice Mill
As you would expect from the Rangers Legend Barry F there’s nothing like this game isn’t I not I love to hear both sides it’s the best game it’s even better when you win believe me I’ve been the I’ve suffered the the bad it when you suffer a a defeat and um it’s tough
To take uh but these games Paul I was so lucky to play in so many um in the atmospheres and and come up against some unbelievable players and also play against sorry play besides some unbelievable players are Rangers the form team looking at the two Andy or Rangers have been very impressive I
Think just in general since clont has come in and um you know Celtic haven’t had they just haven’t found that sparkle that we know that they are capable of I I think a number of players have been not on their best form but they’ve got a lot of match winners they’re at home
Tomorrow um they’ll be roared on by the the home crowd and again I know from experience they can put a yard on your stride when you’re when you’re looking for it and you’ve obviously got a couple of goalkeepers there who are um you know they’re in top form yeah just looking at
The stats there on skyart versus butland 30 goals conceded in Joe Hart and for butland eight goals maybe it tells you the story of recent times two brilliant goalkeepers big jaw has and a bit criticism yeah but you need goalkeepers to come up with big moments to give you
That Foundation if you can still keep it at nil nil allows your your teammates to try and Nick it at the other end and goalkeepers are important in this game Let’s Hear Brendan Rogers take on the opp position tomorrow yeah I think Philip’s done very well since coming in
Um I think you you see he’s come in with experience and common sense in terms of setting up the team uh all the players working together know their job and uh and you can see they benefited from that so they’ve got good players and uh but I as I said I’m
I’m looking forward to the game because it should be a football game the last numbers of weeks we’ve played a lot against back fives and and teams sitting low on the field this should be hopefully a really good football game and uh but but in terms of him come in
And yeah did very well interesting there he’s saying that you know chance to play it’s not the low block probably that you get against many other teams if you’re Celtic or Rangers is it going to be open play tomorrow yeah generally when when teams come to hbrooks or Celtic Part
They sit behind the ball on the 18 yard line um I think Rangers are set up better defensively they’re more solid more compact they’re really well organized when when they break forward you can see that there’s been a lot of work done behind the ball as before with
Michael be it was very open and they were easy to hit in the counter attack they’re not so much like that now under Philip clont you can see the differences he definitely made a difference to the the team and listen it’s like anything when you win games it breeds confidence
And certainly the Rangers players at as moment in time are high own confidence here seral deser speaking about the form of Rangers at the moment um as I said before like as a team I think we’re playing more fluently now uh we get more more attacks rolling
Uh more chances um and and I think for myself I got uh I got I got a little bit more confidence uh I got into a better form I’m still growing uh there’s still uh I think a lot more to come um and then yeah once as a striker you know how
It works once you get the the goals going and and you can follow them up then normally they they keep going so and his frame of mind at the moment going into the game um no definitely uh the start was pretty Rocky uh individually but uh as well as it team
Um but yeah you can see uh if you look at the results the last two months um yeah the team is improving I’m improving uh and we’re in a good place right now yeah obviously that’s the contrast from the way it was then very different from
The game um what a few months ago Andy when Celtic went in as The Underdogs is that the right thing to say they were treble winners at the time but great expectations in the Rangers team but it didn’t happen yeah and you’ve you’ve got to remember as well Brendon rogers’s
Record in this game I know that Rangers weren’t of their best when he was first H at the club but uh You’ just saw there that H he’s had 14 games and he’s won 11 of them against Rangers so I think that it tells you that he’s got a bit of
Experience in this fixture you’ve got new players who want to make their Mark I mean we saw hatti made his Mark immediately when when he signed and played in this game who knows if it’s a turna poo Bernardo tomorrow can he build on that goal that he got at Den Park can
You see a bit of um a bit of magic from oel and McGregor and kogo back in form but I think Celtic will know they’re in a game because Rangers I I was just so impressed with them going to ceville and getting a a victory there to top that
That group that was a a really difficult game and they they played well and they’ve got so much Pace Mark’s been on the socials saying is Mikey Johnson in the mix for he’s in the mix could you see him start tomorrow and I know you
Don’t think I don’t think so um I I I just think uh the the players that Brendan Rogers will trust will be Palmer who I think is is coming on in a good game he’s got some good assists he’s got some good play H kyogo is a a definite starter and
Maa’s just a absolute Workhorse and he he’ll obviously give um you know tavanir a bit of a problem or barisich whatever side he plays on undoubtedly Barry Celtic missed maida when he was out there injured yeah and not just going forward pole defensively he does a
Brilliant shf for the the team he looked a bit Rusty at Den’s part but that’s natural when you you miss so many games but getting that what was it 65 70 minutes under his belt will do him the world do good and yeah if he’s fat and
Ready for me he’s a definite starter in the Celtic 11 here’s a bit more from K McGregor yeah that football it’s it’s uh when you’re when you’re doing well then of course there’s a there’s a bounce and you’re getting results then you know everybody feels good about themsel you
Know the one thing about us as football players as we want to win every game and when you don’t you feel that disappointment and and so do the supporters you know they they live and breathe the and and that’s why they’re so disappointed when you don’t get positive results so you know hopefully
They’ve seen a team in the last couple of weeks that have been hungry to rectify what happened previously um but we have to continue to show that that we’re Hur from what happened a couple of weeks ago and and that has to be the Mantra between now and the end of the
Season every time we go on the pitch you know we’re fighting for ourselves and we’re fighting for the supporters and like I said the next game is is a big opportunity for us to show that um naturally they’ll be excited because of the type of picture that it is but um
Like I say we we have to show every time we go on the pitch now that that we’re hurting from what happened a couple of weeks ago and we have to show that we want to put it right as well the gadio football show with global Eco energy
Design your bespoke solar PV system and meet your energy needs with no upfront cost let’s go that we’re in a marathon that the the players are progressing their stride is getting better and better their Tempo is getting better and better and um and we need to continue that way
And that’s our next step in this uh marathon of 38 games in the league okay it’s it’s a clear story also for everybody to understand that’s why yeah yeah but but for performance as well it’s it’s important we we come off the back at two really good wins and much
More like the urgency and intensity especially the last game against dunde which could have been a really really uh tricky game for us because Tony’s done a great job there we done the but uh we went up there and and really dominated the game virtually gave no opportunities
Away in the game and uh and we’re Relentless in our attacking mentality so uh yeah so we go into the game in a in a good place and we want to continue with that Barry who would have thought a couple of months ago there would just be
Five points in it Rangers two games in hand it looked as though Celtic could have been um almost out of sight by the turn of the year yeah if you told me this was going to be the case as you mentioned there Paul a couple of months
Ago I would have um looked at you in a a strange way but that’s the way football Works Celtic have had a few tricky results Rangers have have been in real good form under the new manager um and now this is probably know probably this is his biggest test
Tomorrow at 12:30 at Celtic Park and this is where the players really need to stand up and be counted and show that they are serious about winning this league title this season what was it like handy the night before and all FM game the glasow Derby how did you
Prepare do you know I quite liked the nerves you know he maybe didn’t sleep as easy but that was good you know it focused your mind and you couldn’t wait just to to get to the ground just to to feel it all and there were times you
Went in you were the apparently the better side you were confident there were other times you you were going to the game and you were big underdogs and you you needed a big performance so all of those things just makes it a without doubt the best year I ever played it it
Was truly magnificent and the the memories were were great just to play with play with some great teammates have some really good victories have some unexpected victories obviously you’re you’re always going to have H one or two of the extreme lows and I had a few of
Them so um yeah I just loved it it a marvelous game Barry is a bit like Christmas Eve just before it yeah I’ll be honest with every single game I toss and turned and never really slept well um as soon as I could get up I got up
And um down for break I very rarely ate as well um just Nerf as Anda say it and you know what I had to feel nervous that you’ve got to feel their nerves and butterflies and I was just desperate for to line up in that tunnel
And get out and and he the the whistle go he kicked the game off and that was you you were the Destiny was up to you whether you you got the result or or you didn’t get the result and I always thought about the fans whether it was at home
Right you want to send them home happy and then if you suffered the feet it was like off I need to go to the petrol station the more I to go to The Shops and and take a a bit of stick but listen that’s a beauty of the game it’s a a
Brilliant game to play in and as Andy just mentioned so lucky to be involved in so many when you’re away from home then when you came to Celtic Park what was it like when you got out the coach then so there’ be some Rangers fans around but Celtic or whatever genely I
Go off the bus louder yeah but listen is what it is you take it it’s party party it was good Banner there was never anything serious happened but I took it in good nature and it’s a compliment really yep um and then walking in through the front doors was just a casy
Right get in get ready and get ready for battle Andy when you arrived at I it’s just a short walk isn’t it straight you’re right that’s EAS that’s a short short walk well always remember Billy Billy McNeil saying just make sure you you stand tall puff your chest out make
Sure you as he did as he did all the time and you know we tended to go with our club Blazer on and H just make sure you everyone knows who you’re representing and it was always good advice should we take more calls andyer Bary Ferguson and here’s Paul a big
Rangers Fan on the line hi Paul hi Paul hi Barry hi Andre good to be good to hear you so how you you feeling for the game tomorrow I heard bar saying there b as a player must have been wor but because as a fan butterflies are starting yeah um
Excitement as well you know like I think we’re playing really well excited to see how clont lines up and and I found on a while back saying CL acid test for me as a fan anyway and would be the game The League Cup Final um um don’t get me wrong I think know
This is where bfield the big games I mean clont took us over to se I didn’t think in your I didn’t think we would’ get a result over them we did um so I’m optimistic we B nervous as well but we B optimistic as well what’s your question
To Andy and Barry I so like any your say we get in I’ve always think there was going to be the next Superstar you know so but my only point is I suppose know we had Aron Ramsey and we had the guy diio I think it is um with big price
Tags com in down south now they’re over inflated prices I mean the monson’s prices in mafew right and I’m just I’m just surprised we didn’t go for shankland I I know there’s maybe a bit of money to put in there but this guy’s came up and I’ve looked I’ve looked at
His Wikipedia page to see the goal scored and it’s not a great goal record he’s got but you’re surprised about Shanklin but Barry you’re not saying the Shanklin thing no I I still think they’ll sign a a center forward and I i’ would be surprised if it’s not shankland
The thing about um Fabio Silva is he’s not just a number nine he can play in the 10 position and he can play in the left and right side and so he can play anywhere in the front four which I think is important because you’re obviously missing a few number NES
Through injury and SEMA is going to be a way to the African cupy nation so he can play um on that left side or he can play on the right side but I still 100% believe that Rangers will sign another forward um because you’ve got denil out
For a couple of months still you’ve got Kar rof out for two or three month um so they’re loow numbers up top so I think another forward will be top he list when I saw Wills a few years ago and Sila was playing he played on the right hand side
And he was he was good he was effective obviously comfortable I think in any um left right through the middle even um he’s comfortable in any position up front but just good skill good ability can he produce it up here you know a lot of people have come up here and thought
Yeah Scottish Football that would be a bit of a cakewalk um it’s not it’s really competitive and uh you need to show that you’ve got the ability to to handle all the pressure Paul you’re hearing it there from Barry he reckons there’ll be another Striker and it could
Well be Lauren Shanklin stay with us Sean’s on a big Rangers Fan as well hi Sean all right guys how you all good hopefully New Year will be good to thank you very much youo good man Sean y what’s in your mind Sean what’s your question see honest I think sh M
For Rangers next week I think we’ll get him for between two or three million I think shankin will sign a two or three year contract and I think he’ll be Rangers player after next week are you related to him there it’s a bit of in was agent Sean you often get it right
You’re the man that got it right on the 25 points sorry uh you got it three years ago so what you thinking for tomorrow what kind of game is it going to be I’ll take a draw tomorrow I’ll take a one each or two each I’m I’m a bit
But I’m not doing schore predictions I usually score predictions but the old f is withdra you don’t get score predictions I’ll just I’ll take any inm a point it’s a bonus for Rangers so you’re not giving a prediction but you give a prediction you said it’s going to
Be a draw or anything better than a draw yeah Paul what do you think what’s your score line oh Paul you put me this wrong all time I’m going for one Rangers and lers to score lers sorry Lamers right to score tomorrow yeah wow Sean I don’t think L will score tomorrow
But I I’ll if it happens I’ll take it but I really don’t think Lamers is a Rangers player I wouldn’t even play him again oh bar what would you say is a bit harsh on Lamers but it’s Sean’s everybody’s entitled to the opinion Paul
I have no issue with that at all um is a a brilliant start to his Rangers career no he’s not um I don’t think he’ll start the game tomorrow um but listen you never know he might get the opportunity to come on and list he might surprise a
Few people and and get that goal let’s hear the manager stay with us guys want to ask you other thing Philip Kong was asked today no Rangers fans at Celtic Park no in our hearts they will be there it’s a pity for football I think it’s it’s it’s always better to have two
Sides it creates also uh certain atmosphere I think uh it’s a pity for football but it’s the decisions made above my head also with knowing much more things that I know so again I try to control the controllable the things that I can do the things we need to do
As a team uh with my staff with the players and the rest is is is not important uh we’re not focused on that we are focused on our football and uh and the game it comes on the line that it should be Dave King Dave why did you
Do it why did you start all this it’s Such a Pity that it’s happen and don’t know where we go with it now Barry do you think it will change in time eventually maybe next season season after I would hope so if you’re ask him honest opinion it
Doesn’t look like it’s going to change anytime soon Paul which um is sad in my opinion Andy I don’t think it’s going to change anytime soon and the the other sad thing of course is you’ve got a a governing body that can’t exercise any guidance they can’t exercise their own rules and
It’s really pathetic and it’s Petty and it’s childish but it’s it’s a part of Scottish Football it’s Celtic and Rangers and the only two who can fix it are the are the people uh high and involved in the club at a high level is the team who wins tomorrow going to win
The title I know there’s a long long way to go Paul what do you think if if Celtic win tomorrow is that the end of the dream no I think I think clont will do a b bit of business in January if we get La shankland what bar said there
Then we’ve got two old firms still to come two old firms still to come up and plus we’ve nipped wa that lead and I think we the good thing is we’ got into last 16 straight away so that’s taking a a bit pressure off as well in Europe to
Be honest you know so no it’s not going to Define I don’t think I think the only thing I would say is if Celtic win I think it would be significant that’s two two games one at I Brooks one at parkhead if if they win both I just I I
Can’t see Celtic being as wasteful as they have been in the second half of the season when you think of the the points dropped against you know St Johnson mother hibs karock hars um I can’t see them being as wasteful and if they win yet again H
Against Rangers I think it tells you they’ve they know how to win this big game whether it’s a home or away and it’s the same question if Rangers win it and they then well it’s in their hands then bar there’ll be a horrible atmosphere inside the stadium if you can
Imagine Rangers being one and there’s no one in the stadium to vent their Fury at for the Celtics supporters other than the manager the team the board themselves um and that sometimes can be a part of the problem having no away fund and that’s what happened to I
Brooks wasn’t it bar remember the the toxic atmosphere the Rangers fans started in such great form but then the Rangers actually started the game pretty well the first five minutes on on the front foot but it’s key that Rangers if they go they have to make sure they get
The first goal if not they come away 0 Sean can you imagine it if uh Rangers do get that first goal tomorrow I I think Rangers if Rangers get the first goal tomorrow I’ll say to Paul say bar and I’ll say and Rangers goor tomorrow first Barry we’ll go and win the
Game I hope you’re right hope you’re right Sean but see want to say before we go guys I’m the same with Andre Walker I think we need to get that sorted for see because it is embarrassment it’s the biggest game in the world outside maybe maybe Barcelona might be bigger but this
Is is definitely the biggest D in Britain we need to get sorted for next season two owners need to get a grip because it’s embarrassment I know certain fans say no we don’t want opposite back in no get it back in because it’s ruining U the old F game
It’s it’s sending a message it’s embarrassment because people watching us across across uh the world yeah they must what’s going on now man I certainly understand when uh you know some of the the senior people the clubs are talking about the safety of their own supporters I
Mean when you’re working at that game and you see the away away fans whether it’s parkhead or ey when you see them arriving at the ground or they’re almost H haed into the ground it’s so early you can’t go anywhere you’re apparently getting pelted with all sorts during the
Game we’ve seen pictures of people with with with blood running from their their head their face whatever other things that are thrown at them that you just can’t even imagine and then you need to stay in afterwards and it’s a terrible indictment on H you know what
We do where our biggest game of the season we need to get back to the five or 6,000 or whatever the way it used to be no question look at the Hearts game hi’s Hearts terrible match but terrible match but look at the the scenes exactly
Afterwards it’s aot you you want to play for the supporters they should be very high up on the list I just had me Shak shaking my head watching that habart game why can it not be like that an old fun game Paul you said two1 Rangers who’s who’s going to score the winner
For you I said one oh one nil right who’s your scorer i l oh lers so you did that’s I was so surprised by Lamers at uh but listen hey you could be right remember remember but I played in that game at Hen yep I couldn’t believe my eyes and
He there you go maybe L strike twice it’ll be L I’ll tell you I’ll tell you a story about about that game I was covering that game live with STV Archie me and Archie were do the commentary and it was my job to give man in a match so
I gave it to I gave it to Barry I was getting absolute dogs abuse from everyone for you know it was the first time I’d really felt this you know you know just intense this comment on whatever you were whatever you were talking about and
Then I got a call the next day from Paul Mi and he said I thought Barry was a man of match as well yeah that’s well iful if Paul thought that then you know back to be the best there great to hear thanks guys thank you Paul thank you
Sean um can I you say something about B conman for a b Flack at times but I tell you B was a good player go yeah what did you like about him I just like his mannerisms when he was getting a bit a tough time he just took it and he
Straight and that that made me um respect him even more but he could play better con and I I thought he came in for unfair criticism at times um good range of passing and listen he scored some unbelievable goals quick break and then we’re back 0808 17
17700 the Go Radio football show with global Eco energy for your free energy home survey and bespoke quote call 0800 23578 let’s go well the weekend of football kicks off tonight and the Championships a huge game the Jags are heading up to well they’ll be there at T
Dundy United against Park thistle United did some damage against them in the league of course in Glasgow but in the cup then the League Cup then it was the other way around when Patrick thle were there one of your old clubs there so yeah come on tonight so a big for them
United have faltered a little recent weeks they look a bit vulnerable thisle have got a chance don’t start Barry he said at the start of the Season wraith Rovers would win I mean who could possibly say wraith Rovers yeah I’m not saying you’re right but my goodness
They’re great to watch yeah they’re in me a brilliant chance listen there’s still a lot of games to go Paul but when you watch rth Rover Zan muray um has got a real good team there they play a good Brandy football and and the difference in them is they’ve got match winners the
Top end of the pitch um so yeah I still think it’s going to get right down to the wire but I still think W Rovers um will just pip D United it’s going to be some run in you enjoy the Friday nights lots of people watch I enjoy the
Championship um listen it’s a tough lead to get out and done United are obviously finding that Hearts have found it before in the past um and there’s a lot of good teams in there and I do enjoy going back after the show and sitting down in my
Dinner and and watching the game lots of messages coming in on the socials here at the Gold radio football show uh here’s Daniel who’s on saying responding to our question about who’s going to win asking do you think whoever wins wins the leag so the winner tomorrow at 3:00
I’ll give them a better opportunity but I still think there’s a lot of football to go there’s still two fun games to go there’s still a lot of football you’ve seen the case with Cela over the last four weeks that they’ve dropped some really surprising points and that could
Happen um it happens in football but whoever wins listen it will give them a a fair um injection of confidence um but I still believe that I’ll get down to the wire pole I think this is going to be one that’s going to get down in the
Last couple of games of the season the makeup of the teams might change enormously with this uh January window I mean rangs already signed one you you obviously expect Celtic to sign two three maybe four Rangers might get another couple in the makeup of the starting 11 for for both sides might
Just change significantly were you surprised that Rangers made the signing early Andy is is a good PR C I mean obviously he can’t he’s not involved tomorrow so far you well it’s exactly you’ve got a twoe break uh after the games on the when is that the 2nd of uh
January when Rangers are at home to come AR Celtic away at St M um and obviously we uh you would expect a bit of business a bit a movement done in those two weeks when when uh you know it’s a bit quieter here flny is on asking you Andy how much
Of a risk is it to throw in players into a game like this who haven’t played for months I get it he’s talking I think he’s talking about hatti and abada yeah just a huge risk I mean you you’re you’re so aware now of um you know
People uh players and how they react uh you know a big load of of work and they’ve done a lot of training and that only gets you so far you need to play against uh opposition you need to play against the you need to get up to speed
You need to get your Fitness your sharpness and sometimes it is worth a bit of a gamble some players will handle it better than others but I can’t see either a bad or a tatti while it’s great that they’re getting back to full fitness I don’t think either of them H
Even allowing for the fact that they’ve got a great record in this game I can’t see either of them starting adrenaline can get you through it as well um I missed two or three weeks football and I come back into um an old F game and I was fine up until
About 60 65 minutes and I hit an absolute brick wall um and it was just adrenaline got me through in the end and but I can’t see with the lent of time that both Abad and hat have been out Paul I can’t imagine either of them starting again certainly I think no B
The bench and there’s there’s quality players and to bring Off the Bench with 15 or 20 to go when you did play the 60 65 minutes did you feel I played the full game I just after the hour you f yeah just looked at the clock I thought
Wow still 30 minutes to go here disagreed or yeah I think it was under Alec how am I going to get through but listen your teammates drag you through it you you drag yourself through it just need to bite down and and knuckle down and as I said your adrenaline eventually
Gets You Through the game Leon Mack has been on the social saying do you think it’s time for both teams to stop being so childish about no away fans we discussed it we do we discussed it we can only hope that it changes but um it doesn’t look anytime soon for me the
Fans should let their Club know shouldn’t they as well you often say that Andy there’s no there should be leadership that from the governing body but they only come in at the last minute not only but they came in late about the uh no making of Nick Montgomery the
Other day that seemed yeah that was SFA stepping in there was some sort of rule but um you know these things I think supporters enjoy when you’re when you’re watching on T you’re not at the ground but when you’re getting a different kind of insight into what happens in the
Dressing room just even seeing the the facial expression it’s I think it adds to the the enjoyment of the view and Barry you spoke about it earlier with Sean and Paul but you don’t see it changing for a while if it does no sadly
I don’t um I I would love to think that the the hierarchy can get theel around a table and bang their heads together and try and sort it out but I can’t see it Paul you need you willingness as well on on the part of both clubs there doesn’t
Seem to be a willingness on either of them to to sort it if I was Sky I would yeah you I wouldn’t have it I I you’d be saying we need opposition fans in there look this they’re not doing football this is not about Sky people in general
You don’t do it just because you love football you do it to build audience build Brands build sponsorship and they should say we need you know a bank of opposition fany not 7 or 800 I think celtica right not to um give opposition fans Rangers fans the tickets tomorrow I
Think too dangerous for them in the same at Celtic Park you mentioned it 10 minutes ago Andy but get them back in in big numbers but you need the authorities and Sky to well it’s way above my Peak grade but I think they like everyone else they would want to have just a
Better brighter more colorful fixture to to broadcast for sure other question here before we go back on the lines I he Scott be saying is Brendan’s job under threat if Celtic lose tomorrow I don’t think so he’s certainly under under more pressure because uh as I mentioned earlier they’ve just been so wasteful
It’s been unexpected to see the the amount of points that have been dropped the you know the home to H defeat from from Hearts I think was a painful one because it was on the back of uh the defeat away to kok which was a really poor performance and you know it’s
Drawing an apology from H brandan Rogers and it just seemed to be the case for a while there that some of the players weren’t weren’t playing for them and it’s it was aad vibe that was been given out I mean I thought Celtic were were very good against dunde uh but that’s
Dunde it’s away from home this is tomorrow in front of your own support and this is where you want to make things happen against uh your your big rivals Five Points in it at the top we thought it would be two points because Rangers should have played Ross County
The other night the game was postponed because uh the staggies couldn’t get to Glasgow because of storm herit I get it that was a disappointment though I would imagine at first some people thought oh Rangers won’t want the game but no I personally if I was playing I would have
Wanted to playing the game but listen Ross County obviously couldn’t get through that there was roads closed the weather was horrendous up north um I’m sure Rangers when they found out the game was um cancelled round about lunchtime I’m sure they would have done a a very intense session on the
Wednesday Philip Clon was asked about it today yeah I read some other things I’ve seen also funny pictures uh that I have a snow and things like that I don’t have but it’s getting funny in moments um no we were all disappointed we’re all in
The bus on our way to the hotel uh everybody was really focused and we wanted to play because yeah uh although I think that the trainings are quite quite good and quite fun also but the players always love to play games so everybody was disappointed that we could
Not play and did you have a view on on it about the fact that Ross County didn’t come down the night before just one of those things I don’t think there was anything Sinister behind it I’m sure Rangers would have wanted to play the
Last thing you want to do is have a lot of games in hand to try and catch up I think it just puts a bit of added pressure you want to you want to play the games and obviously you want to win you want the points in the bag it does H
Put a bit of pressure on whoever’s chasing but um I’m sure Rangers would have wanted to play the other night does it take slight Edge away from it if there is such a thing as neutral cuz uh there’s two points there’s five points in it there would have been just two one
I think look at what Celtic did at Dundee I think it gave them a bit of a boost that gave them a bit of confidence they played well they were Relentless in the their attacking play they had someone like Mikey Johnson who made a headline for himself he’s given himself
A bit of a boost I don’t think it’ll mean he’ll start the game tomorrow but you can be sure that he’ll come on because he’s he scored a couple of goals poo Bernardo will probably retain his place because he looked uh a better player so from Celtic having had the
Opportunity to play that game I think it’s helped our preparation for this one tomorrow brenon rochel was asked well here’s the question there’s always so much hype around this game how much are you looking forward to it yeah very much so I always do these are these are
Amazing games it’s it’s such a an iconic game uh to be involved in and uh and obviously got a great result at I bro earlier on the season now we’re in front of our own supporters so we’re really excited by it Philip Clon was asked uh
If they win three points I don’t know to be honest that’s my experience in those things I know it’s about three points and it’s it’s of of course a boost at that moment but then 3 days later you need to confirm the Boost and I’ve seen
In the past well enough in my team or in other teams that people get an incredible boost and incredible performance and 3 days later they don’t perform anymore because they were thinking about their boost so then you lose it’s about three points and on Tuesday again about three points no game
By game and that’s the story we need to do I know that’s the way to to win things long term and not to be living from moment to moment or boost or or to be down the moment that you you lose some we points but will happen along the
Way but we go every game for the three points and with all our energy with all our enthusiasm and with with our qualities Barry what you thinking on that yeah it’s so cliche that that’s the way you’ve got to operate Paul you can’t um think down the line what what’s going to
Happen you need to do what’s sort out what’s in front of you and what’s in front of your rers is going to Celtic Part and trying to come away with with three points um so listen I like his attitude and that’s why I think because
Rangers in such good form and in a good um a good place at this moment in time I don’t think the manager will let them get carried away with it and I think that’s important um if you want to be successful and Achieve things you need
To keep your feet in the ground and level-headed he’s very level-headed Andy isn’t he from what we hear of Philip Kong yeah just uh I’ve mentioned it so many times just cam measured and it’s the fact that you can see a difference in Rangers play you can see them getting
Big results it’s it’s a lot of pressure to go to hon and Win the Cup Final it’s a lot of pressure to go to Seville and beat batist to get yourself through in the European stage and they’ve been big results big games big moments and you’ve got another one tomorrow he was asked
Today about his new signing loan signing comes on Monday 1 of January um today he’s been speaking about Fabio Silva yes I’m happy about that because um he didn’t play too many minutes this season so uh we need time to to get him into a good shape although his tests were were
Quite good for the minutes he played so you see it’s somebody who’s been working on himself on his physical uh abilities uh so that’s already positive that’s also what we got out of the talks we had with him last couple of week about his Ambitions about our Ambitions also and I
Think it’s um it’s a really clear sign also from the club from everything that players from with that reputation and quality want to come to Rangers he’s very motivated and it’s going to be interesting to uh integrate him into the team and in that way it’s it’s important that he comes early
Uh that we can give him a program during his winter break that he has to do some stuff there that he knows and afterwards he will go with us to training camp it’s uh 7 Days 24 hours a day living together so it will be really good for his
Adaptation towards the rest and bar I always remember you saying when a new face comes in it’s uh gives others a boost I used to love it I used to love when the dressing room door opened a new face was coming in and that’s competition for places um
You you look at the money we spent a couple of year ago 35 million pound it’s um he’s coming with a big reputation he’s not played a lot of football this year I think you’ll see him play some part against kand they’ll have a week off and then I think the training camp
Over in Spain will do the the boy they good he’ll get to know his teammates but also it’s not a holiday they’re going on um they’re going to train and they’re going to train hard and make sure they hit that first game which is against the Batman and the Scottish cup Rangers
Reported to be targeting a left back it’s been mentioned you said earlier Barry they may well go for a left back couple of names in the frame today Philadelphia Union’s K Wagner and PSV einthoven’s Frederick opard they’re being scouted apparently so would there be any thoughts on either of those I
Don’t know either of the players but uh Rangers needs I think they need options in a left back area uh I think um whenever you’ve got a big game I think it’s pretty automatic that you turn to barisich I don’t think the the money that was spent on
Yas he doesn’t look to be the the answer I don’t know whether he’ll he’ll stay at the club for for long but it’s going to be it’s going to be one of those positions where you want another option Barry left back I think it is an era that Rangers would look to strengthen
Baris just com into final six- Monon his contract it doesn’t look to me if there’s going to be an extension look I could be totally wrong here um red Van’s come in he’s played a few games I still to be convinced have been honest um so I can see why that may be
An area of the pitch that Rangers are are looking to bring in um a player in strengthen well you thinking about them shaping up against each other so much from Rangers comes down the right doesn’t it Tav is massive listen again I’ve said it plent of times Paul I think
He’s been a scapegoat over the years you just need to look at the guy’s numbers in in terms of goals I know a lot of them are penalties but listen Andy’s been in this situation so far it’s pressured situations You’ got to hit the back of the net still and more often
Than not he does I think going forward he brings so much to Rangers defensively is it his strongest point no it’s not um but I think overall since James tavener has been at Rangers I think he’s been a brilliant player Andy so much is said about we got so much
Criticism for so long has that TI turned a b this season yeah I think it has I think he’s been uh tremendous in his his time here I know he’s not won uh a great deal but um he add so much to Rangers going forward the amount of times you
See him inside the Box getting on the end of a a cross from from barisich you may have to look at the Cup Final hamen and it’s barisich cross and it’s taner who gets control fires it into the ground and all of a sudden he’s a he’s a
Match winner and um I think it’ll be a good cont I mean Greg Taylor will play tomorrow will it be Palma in front of him or or MAA whoever it is you know the Greg Taylor will get forward a lot so whoever he’s linking up with they really want to
Give tavanir a bit of a problem because Celtic want to get to the by line get the ball across give opportunities for kyogo to finish Celtic just can’t be as wasteful as you said bar look at the game against unde first half yeah I just don’t think that as ruthless as they
Have been in the past I’ve been honest I look at a lot of wide players now just get the by line and get it across they look look to turn back and play it back to the full back and whatever once you get that half a yard get it across and
Supply your your forwards with the opportunities to to score goals today is the anniversary really sad anniversary of a player that you both know really well Andy you played alongside the lake great philad Donell 16 years ago today that he collapsed on the pitch at fer
Park uh such a young man such a great man such a family man living in Hamilton think of eile and the rest of the family always on this day always remember in the early years when he had passed we used to do a a walk from mother wol for
Park to Celtic Park just to try and raise a bit of money try and raise a bit awareness of uh the problem that Phil had but yeah he was just a he was I remember him as a player I remember as a teammate I remember him as a as a friend
And just a you know like most guys involved in football are um a funny block a good company I played in his debut when um we played uh I think it was at fill and philon scored to and um you know it was a lovely picture in the
Corner cuz it was me Phil and Tom Boyd so that that mother W Celtic connection when we were where we’re celebrating one of one of Phil’s goals but yeah always think of them uh think of them from time to time but always especially at this time given the the anniversary and bar
Yman he was a near neighbor as well wasn’t he yeah um y pretty well uh my wife Mar get’s good P withen um so yeah it’s 16 years long time played against him a few times as well good player goal scoring Midfield which I think is a a
Dying breed um but yeah he get his moved down to sheff Wednesday then obviously come back up and finished these career off at model but energy training I mean he had a few injury problems over his over the years um few knocks don’t know whether it was a KNE
Injur or whatever but listen he was a very good football player and and taking away far Too Young Too Young Scotland cap as well so Thoughts with the Phil Phil donals family and a great moment for him to score for m in the The Cup Final that great game against IND the
United when the two brothers went together as managers but Phil played a major part in winning that for the 1991 Cup Final May 91 I remember it well so we’re remembering Phil adonal the G radio football show with global Eco energy design your bespoke solar PV system and meet your energy needs with
No upfront course let’s go it’s not Christmas Eve it’s eve of the big game the Derby tomorrow Celtic against Rangers 12:30 kickoff and we’ll be on here from 12: noon tomorrow Barry Ferguson and Peter Grant will be with me Paul Cooney so we’ll have the excellent
Coverage on sky with Ian Crocker and uh turn it down just a little bit Andy we used to hear you a little bit in the background I would always be say oh there’s Andy and all the rest but uh I’ll watch it through in Edinburgh tomorrow going to the HSS in Ross County
I wonder if I’ll be entertained by Ross County given of course Derek D’s comments recently so will you interview him afterwards I’ll interview him afterward ask him how well his team played Hearts have been doing all right haven’t they Hearts have been doing all right yeah beat Celtic and then that
Amazing Victory last kick of the ball with Shanklin the other night against Hibbs tremendous stuff you Club hibs it looked as it was going to be a draw but yeah I was hoping they could win that and maybe kick a better push for European football but hearts are in po
Position now to to finish third it looks like I would think so Barry is Steven nouth to be fair six weeks ago we were saying well things are not going well yep and you’ve got to give him credit for credit’s due he W manager in a month
And sometimes when you get that award you you suffer defeats but listen he’s he’s certainly heart hearts teams kicked on um some good players but listen the difference in my opinion is who have been speaking about plenty of times in this this station is Lauren Shanklin and
I’m sure he’ll be desperate to keep a hold of him but um if he doesn’t I’m sure na will have a a plan in his head and what to do about that but they’re in good form HS you you would go so far as to say they would really struggle to
Maintain that for third place if if shankin goes and European football can can bring you a good bit of money so um just remains to be seen how how Keen they are to to do business and you’re looking at that Hearts team Craig Gordon still no not been playing Craig H who’s
A club captain and is just coming back for injury and Liam Boyce as well who I think’s a a really good player so that’s three players that could 100% strengthen Hearts wasn’t that some save from Santa CL yeah BR penalty sa yeah I didn’t realize he was 6′ five we spoke about
Butland and Joe har earlier that’s the moment that gives Hearts the opportunity to you know to go in and win the game he keeps that out what a big save that was and then you get shankland with the last kick of the ball what a difference we’re
Trying to talk about hearts and some other games but brings us back to the big match tomorrow Andy what are you thinking for the two keepers so you two know your football so well and if you sometimes early in the season if you said about Joe har people are too hard
On him he makes some great saves he’s been phenomenal what do you feel about Joe Hart now and in January are they are they going to sign somebody else well I don’t know if they’ll sign one in January it looks as though they’re going to sign a another goalkeeper for sure
Maybe to be uh the number one but right now it’s undeniably it’s Joe har and he’s someone who’s capable of of big moments himself and U arguably I think Jack butland has been the best signing of all the players that come in to to Rangers in the summer and um
He still looks the part and him I’m sure he’ll be under pressure tomorrow he’ll be required to make a few saves bar you’ve worked with both goalkeepers yeah and both goalkeepers have worked together um at Birmingham and I played with both of them and Jack was obviously
A young keeper coming through with huge potential Joe was the the number one in loan from um Man City uh and it’ll be interesting to see what one comes out and top but and my both are are top class look Joe’s come in for a fair bit of criticism if you mentioned Paul
But look at some of the saves he’s he’s pulled off and I still think he’s a top quality goalkeeper and Jack butland um I knew what Rangers were getting but my only worry was he hadn’t played a lot of football but I tell you one thing he’s
Come up and F massive gloves um he was under a bit of pressure Alan McGregor was a fantastic Rangers goalkeeper but he’s been exceptional for Rangers this season sliding doors moments just see on Sky there that moment when lager baela got involved looked to so it’s was going
To be a goal for Rangers Andy and uh it didn’t happen we’ve we’ve spoken about it so often the uh the influence of our and how it can change uh the course of a game I didn’t think it was a a big enough mistake for VAR to get involved
You’re really just looking at someone else giving their their opinion and um that wasn’t what we were sold at the uh the presentation but we’ve spoken about it a lot I mean I know that V will get involved tomorrow hopefully not a great deal and there’s but whatever happens I
Mean you’re guaranteed controversy in a Celtic Rangers game because we we might debate a throw in in the the center circle for the next three or four days what way it went it’s it’s that type of game but if you’re Michael Bal he must have watched that back dozens of times
Thinking that should have been a goal for Rangers and Barry it could have been a different story for him I know it’s easy to Pile in on Michael Beal he did a lot wrong but it’s mainly his team just now that Philip Kar yeah and the difference in the team that’s stag what
What a new manager um can do initially you get that initial kick with two or three games but listen it’s continued over over 14 or or 15 games um but what I don’t like is I don’t like when people ask players yeah it’s different and whatever it’s listen sometimes the
Players have got to take a bit of responsibility I’ve always says that I know it falls on the manager’s shoulders but it’s a player responsibility as well when they cross that white line po to produce performances and they weren’t doing it um I mean 10 weeks ago I
Thought Rangers were in real trouble so the difference in them um is his night and day and that’s clearly down to the the new manager and he’s his team Underneath Him and and these these players at this moment in time are feel the confidence in playing really well
But I keep going back to it this is a test the old test tomorrow it sure is I remember months ago saying to you then when the new manager came in which is what just over two months ago could they still be in the race and you say yeah
The race isn’t over and some people would think yeah Barry you are hoping obviously that but really I could have seen two or three points getting back I never imagined that it would have been at this level five with two games in in hand um but Rangers need to grasp a
Opportunity now um there’s no point in doing all this hard work and obviously Celtic losing a few games to go and and let it filter away that they’ve got to that was a big surprise for me they’ve got to try and Main as I mentioned earlier just Celtic being so
Wasteful dropped points so unexpectedly I mean kok’s a different difficult place to go but you wouldn’t expect Celtic to follow up a defeat at kok at home Hearts you know the the draws against St Johnston and mother wol and and hibs I think so there’s been a lot of points
Chucked away which is really unexpected because managers do make a difference look at an POA cogo he come in and he changed the makeup of the team he changed the pace of the team he changed the the look of the team um some of the signings were a huge success others not
So much but managers are are so important players players can can be different animals under different individuals honestly I can’t see Celtic doing this again what’s happened over the last three or four weeks so that’s where Rangers need to be on it on it 100% so you reckon it’s been a blip and
They’ll get back on yeah generally you see teams throughout the season I know over the past it’s not really happened to to Celtic but Rangers have got to take control of the the situation now with the the silly points that Celtic have have dropped Rangers need to make
Sure that they they take full advantage of that could be the last time you see this Celtic team playing um one more game after you know before the window and it’s unusual isn’t it that they’ve gone into a season uh a lot of signings in the summer the we know about it some
Of the big money was navroski lagab beela they’re not in the scene anymore it’s it could be the last time so you’re getting you’re trying to get a tune for Brendan Rogers Elite manager look at his record he’s getting a bit of stick as well but you’re speaking to players that
You know may not be part of it as regularly come middle of January yeah and it’s an opportunity with this window for Celtic to get in a bit of physique if that’s what they’re lacking a bit of um a bit of experience a bit of pedigree
In some of the players not so much a project we’ve heard um we’ve heard Brendon Rogers speak about that so often and it’s shaping up to be a really really important January window one of the the most important that Celtic have had for some time because I think you
Can see the Improvement in Rangers and the last thing you want to do you know Celtic I’ve got a I think a huge Financial Muscle over Rangers but it doesn’t mean anything unless you can get H the players on the part to make the difference they the best player in the
Country at the moment Matt O’Reilly yeah I think in the first half of the Season he would be my if you stop the the season tomorrow he would be my choice as a player of the season I think Jack butland would run him close I think Lauren shankland would would be up there
He’s been so impressive in the early part of the season I like the look of mayosi and what he’s doing for for Aberdine maybe not at the at the same level as uh as shankland but um you need players to be exceptional and for others to follow for others to try and and
Reach that level and I think that’s what you’re getting to these clubs bar I see Neil Lennon has said that Matt oy is a 30 million player I I don’t think as much as that um but listen he’s been the best player in Scotland he’s been the most
Consistent he’s added goals to his game um but I I can see the reason why there’s been certain clubs linked to into Milan I think last week I would be absolute shocked if Celtic done business in January I could see happen in the summer
Um but in terms of what you would get in from I don’t know what5 million maybe I mean that’s that’s a decent bit of business when you bought him for one and a half2 million pound and but certainly he’s he’s excelled this this season abdalah Sima came in in the summer on
Loan and he’s been called up today for the African nations uh uh tournament so he’s going to be away but it’s good news for him um but the manager what was his reaction to it yeah that’s a mean one to be honest no I’m not happy that he
Selected no uh but I understand I’ve been International myself um and for me it was a great honor to play for my country I was always really proud every time it happened so I understand that it’s really important for the players there’s also as a club
As a manager nothing to do to go against it it’s strange to have a tournament during a season where we lose players we’re not the only team in the world in that way also not so it’s things you need to accept and to be happy for him
That he gets the the respect out of his country and from everybody and he deserves also we had good talks with the with the Federation so we made an agreement that he has to leave the third of January so he’s still available for the second of January for the game so
That was also important so the respect is from both sides off then to join CAG go it’s part of playing at the top level isn’t it you get called up yeah he makes a good point as well Rangers are not the only club that are going to um lose
Players um but I think he’ll be a big Miss and no doubt about it I think in that left hand side he’s made that position he’s on with simple um simply scoring goals and producing really good performances so yep he will be a big Miss and that’s one of the reasons as
Well where I think Silva he could play and say he watched him at Wills he played in the right hand side I’ve seen a few games where he’s played in the left hand side as well so he’s adaptable and that’s the reason why I think Rangers still will bring in another
Forward Thinking player PC can we call him that Barry do you think he’d be okay Philip Clon we call him PC he was asked what’s the best position for Silva uh he will say in the team so that’s the the good thing with him is a versatile player he can play different
Positions um and maybe we can use them also in different positions but with the situation of uh Dany out for a couple of months and and Kar who will also be out next couple of weeks for sure um we don’t have many numbers in the striking position so that will be
The main position first and of course Lauren Shanklin look out for that one he could be joining you did wonder the other night when he scored that goal it was just one of those moments you think yeah that’s his Farewell couple more games to play but he’s some Striker yeah
And the say a good player in my eyes when you don’t have a particularly good game you come up with um a strike like that he was kept quiet I thought his touch was a we bit off which genuinely this season he’s he’s been on it um but listen the goal backing
In stengthen play and he takes into the box not and I thought they finish mean you could have two goalkeepers on that and they wouldn’t have wouldn’t have saved it right in the top B he’s he’s one of the main reasons that hearts are challenging without his goals they’d be
Nowhere and I think every successful team you want to have your your main Striker scoring goals scoring heavily scoring regularly you want that goal scoring threat from Midfield you maybe want one or two of your Defenders chipping in with we go some free kicks some corners and that’s the it’s the
Makeup of a successful team we mentioned Brighton there abdala seima what about Brighton’s win against Tottenham an poo were four down last night weren’t they four to the end yeah and they ran all over the top talking it was a right good game and I think they’re The Benchmark
For every sort of um you know just average sized Club they they have been a club that have excelled in the transfer market I don’t think anyone has got a record like Brighton and that’s how that’s how important they can be the amount of money that they’ve generated
In in sales is truly astonishing wonder who’s in charge at that end of the of the business and you know I’m well Barry what a a b yep um but the the system that they use to bring in players I mean they’re bringing players in for three or
Four million pound and selling them on for 60 70 million um Caso who went to um Chelsea 109 million I think his transfer fee was 3 and5 million Paz so yeah it’s a it’s a brilliant um it’s an astonishing Market down there I mean even Fabio Silva 35 million and you
Know obviously Rangers can’t go anywhere near that if they ever wanted to to try and take them on permanently but the some of the fees that are paid down there are astronomical what do they do in that case is that half the he on assuming around 80 grand a week Rangers
Maybe pick up half of that or whatever yeah be interesting to see um I I don’t really know then and outset but if genuinely if you’re you’re bringing a player in loan you would normally I think the deal would be 50% of your salary that that would be a very
Accommodating club that hold his registration if you’re only going 50 know need the money yeah got enough money and they do want him to play regular football yeah that’s what said it helps him they want him to come back as an option what your old teammate he’ll be so disappointed last night
We’re talking Mikel artetta Arsenal losing against I thought look mean I never talking before we come on the show I know they had a lot of possession but I thought West Ham thoroughly deserved the they three points it should have been three they missed a penalty right
At the death um yep Arsenal fans weren’t too happy but you got to give a lot of credit to David Moyes mean I can’t criticism he comes under it today yeah W fans yeah yeah yeah but he’s I think he’s just about agree a two and a half
Year Contracting I think he deserves it he’s a he’s a brilliant manager let’s be honest with you and I tell you what he’s got a right good team there a lot of good players with the way that they set up last night Arsenal on the break
Constantly it was uh it was a great setup they had a great game plan it worked it worked so well great for glas boy isn’t Andy did you play alongside him for a little B did you just I think I might have played against him maybe he
Was at D firland I think um but uh well since he’s went into his managerial career at Preston doing so well there and then the the long spell at everon there in fact Mara was was at Everton when when Mo was there I right he was
His manager he’s such a success isn’t he and he took over from Sir Alex Ferguson that was maybe it was a poison chalice just too soon I thought he got har Ste Manchester United you the players were very naughty weren yeah it wasn’t nice to see but listen
He’s he he get let go and I think he got a hefty payoff he obviously went on to West Ham then left West Ham and he’s come back to to West Ham again and won of my European Trophy and um as I said he’s his signings have um over the the
Course have been brilliant and watching him last night I just thought there were a really good team and he just he’s a top manager there there’s no one running away with it you know City have dropped points although they did well at everon the other night Liverpool have dropped
Points they’re top H Spurs are still highing around in there with the with the Villa um it’s been a really good League it’s been refreshing this year to to see a good number of them dropping points and no one no one been dominant and John mcin of course scoring the
First goal for Villa then they got a second goal looked as though they might do it but then man united came back on is fascinating he’s the type of player that could play for man if man united were on the open up John mcin could play
For them and make a difference he is absolute Quality Bar you’ve often said he could go even further yeah I I I think he can go into a bigger Club but look what um as are down just now there would they want to leave he’s Captain
There he’s a real driving force I think he’s just signed a new long long term contract not long ago so yeah but I watched that game as well ason very good in the first half second half they just crumbled a bit which um and I will be be
Dis disappointed about but you’ve got to give man new credit um they come back really well in the second half but when I watch man united I don’t enjoy watching man united yeah they’re not they’ve lost that b Cel they’ve lost their Sparkle a we bit but is the
Sparkle back we’ll find out tomorrow the darts are you into it guys Andy do you watch it I see this young sensation 16y old everyone is talking he doesn’t look 16 do no cuz I heard about the 16y old then I see this uh not so young he does look
Much older I thought you were talking about the prer there no no no no no Barry are you into the darts yeah I don’t mind watching it yeah I like when it gets down to the last 60 or last eight quick break and then we’re going to get the moment that astonishing
Moment when we ask Barry and Andy who’s going to win the game tomorrow the go your football show with global Eco energy tailored and Renewable Energy Products to suit your commercial and domestic needs let’s go well the great thing is there’s nothing to worry about as you uh get ready for the next
Part part two of the festive season hope you had a great Christmas and stay with us here in Go Radio it’s going to be some fantastic music see the news on the hour keeping you up to date and then the football show tomorrow we’re on from 12:00 noon Barry looking excited already
We’ll get his prediction along with Andy Walker for the games tomorrow let’s where will we kick off aine against St Merin we go there first Andy who do you fancy on this one yeah I’ve been impressed with the way aberin have H bounced back and I expect them to
Get a home win tomorrow s Fallen away a bit just since their early season form and uh I think abine can do it I’m going for 2-nil abine is it a mayosi goal maybei Duke yeah y the two of them double bar would do you reckon yeah I
Think AB know have too much qualiity going through a difficult period um yeah I’m going to go abine to win this pretty convincingly 3-1 abine of course only 19 points but they’re way behind they’ve only played 16 games so it’s going to be quite a schedule for them are they going
To finish top six Barry what you think they should with the the players in the budget they have um I think that’s a must um for Aberdine but they need to start off obviously getting results which they have done over the last couple of weeks and obviously the games that they have
In hand they need to make sure they they get the wins D question that’s what Barry was basically saying there andy um could it be third or are Hearts going to be too strong or Killy um I think hearts are the favorites but obviously a lot depends on
The future of shankland if if he stays at Hearts then he’ll keep scoring goals to to make the difference between as he did the other night between a draw and a and a victory so that is so important to them um and I think hars at uh are we
Talking about hars Ross County um I think so yeah let’s do County I I’m going to that game tomorrow and I FY the HS to to follow up that Victory against hibs another one in great form what do you reckon bar hars Ross County yeah I
Think hars will I’ll um win this be a right few goals Ross County have been idle for a a few games Paul and as a player that’s not an ideal situation I think hars will take a lot of confidence for the win against hibs at Easter road so for me hars three Ross
County nil so what about uh Derek McKinnis up against Tony doery so Kar dunde Barry yeah I think mean the job at Dale’s done Dale was one of these managers where they come in obviously got them promoted last year it’s just a building process that Dale seems to do
Done similar to abine takes his time and I think he’s built um a good squad now he’s got match winners I I really like the the two white boys Armstrong and Kennedy and he’s got a bit of physical presence up top with Vel um and dund Tony do he’s ex
Assistant good pals but I think K on the artificial surface um I’ll be too good for dundy so I’m going to go 2-0 k when you think Amano went to the very last game of last season and it was still in doubt whether they were going to be in
The playoffs or not um they’ve changed it around this time round they look as though they’re they’re pretty comfortable in the top six and that’s why I think they’ll win again tomorrow I’m going for one nil Kelly you’re going 1 nil what about away from the old firm
Arguably the most important game for the two managers is at F part motherwell against Livy Andy your old team I’m hoping and I do think motherwell can do it um eventually get that uh Dreadful run uh start to to turn it around 15 16
Games out a win I think they can win at home tomorrow it’s such a big game it would put a massive gap between themselves and Livingston Livingston would be cut a drift it would be a tall order for them to come back but also it would push mother into a group of clubs
That they could you know box away with to try and uh they just want to survive they want to be they want to be sure they third bottom at the the very worst the season and then they can go again Barry what are you thinking for park I
Think this is going to be a nervy nervy game I don’t think it’s going to be a nice game to watch um I think it’s going to be tight but I do think mother will just Nick it and I’m going to go one nil mother go one nil mother of course that
Would put them in 19 points and as you both said it’s it is tight at the bottom but suddenly you’d have ly on 12 points mother on 19 and you do worry for David marale he’s in with he’s such a huge part of Livy y and what he’s done yeah
He’s done a fantastic job let had ourselves on here over the last number of years um that they’ve been a horrible run I know they got a point against um St Johns the other night but I feel for Livingston I said that a few weeks ago Paul when I went through to watch
Livingston Rangers it just wasn’t a Livingston that you’re used to watching normally they’re really tough to break down and difficult to play against um and I thought Rangers cruised it that day which is very unlike um Livingston so yeah I think it’s going to be a long
Season for Ley is there another game tomorrow the sure is 1230 kickoff uh Celtic against Rangers let’s hear finally from the managers again this is where we started the program what’s the latest on camon C Vic as well we can tell you he’s not going to be playing
Yeah he won’t uh he’ll not be available for the next couple of games so uh not longer term but uh probably won’t see him until after the uh the break I always think it’s an opportunity for for someone else else like we had it in the
Last game when Gustaf and Lam skills had played and and committ to the team and um and for the likes of lame it was the mean of them so uh so yeah it’s it’s it’s always a sadness whenever you lose a top player um but um but like I say
Hopefully it’s not too too long a time he’ll be back after this uh after this break and then uh hopefully can stay clear of injury for the second part of the season and it’s part of the story of the Season isn’t it no hatti for much of
It abada for most of it and uh ceron Carter Vickers I mean last season he was hardly missed a game but this season he has had a couple of injuries yeah just struggling to shake it all off and um you dead right to highlight the fact that it gives someone another chance it
Looks as though it’s going to be Steven Welsh who’s been there for a while H alongside Liam scales I don’t think any Celtic supporter could have imagined that as a a center back partnership but on a positive note I think Celtic are getting a bit better they’re at home I
Expect them to win I expect another big performance from the likes of kyogo the captain Kum McGregor mat alongside them and uh who knows maybe a h a match winning performance from the likes of Palmer or maida Rangers will be Rangers will be good opponents you know they’ve
They’ve gone to ceville they’ve handled a really difficult away game and know they they’re in for a a real challenge tomorrow but to get the victory uh might just push them on to to better form more consistent form and I just expect them to sign at least two or three players in
The in the January window the manager spoke today about the form which has been up and down but the last two games much better yeah yeah but but for performance as well it’s it’s important we we come off the back at two really good wins and much more like the urgency
And intensity especially the last game against dunde which could have been a really really uh tricky game for us because Tony’s done a great job there we dunde but uh we went up there and and really dominated the game virtually gave no opportunities away in the game and uh
And we’re Relentless in our attacking mentality so uh yeah so we go into the game in a in a good place and we want to continue with that no Rangers fans there tomorrow maybe a bit more on that before the end just five minutes to go Barry
We’re coming to you let’s hear from Philip clong he spoke about his new signing but he’s not involved of course until the 1st of January but he could be involved for the match with karuk this was his team update for Rangers for tomorrow I cannot answer really today
Because uh some Trend but it’s not sure yet if they will have a reaction or not so that’s why I I don’t want to say it too fast because otherwise people think that I play games I don’t like to play games and to say that somebody’s in and
Then this afternoon he feels a little bit reaction from the training and we’re not going to do stupid risk to to lose players for the rest of the season so um so it’s better to make the assessment tomorrow and and then it’s clear and he said no matter what happens tomorrow
There’s a long way to go that we’re in a marathon that the the players are progressing their stride is getting better and better their Tempo is getting better and better and um and we need to continue that way and that’s our next step in this uh marathon of 30 eight
Games in the league okay it’s it’s a clear story also for everybody to understand that’s why 16 games bu isn’t it undefeated he’s only drawn what two of them yeah it’s I mean he’s he’s made a huge difference there’s no doubt I just think the mentality in the focus of
This team the difference in the swing and change has been really really impressive um I think in half a day games poll and they’ve not played particularly well but they’re finding a way the the they’re they’re really solid they don’t concede a lot of goals they’re well organized well drilled um
So you should be going to Celtic Part listen you’ve got to be wary and respectful what you’re coming up against coming up against still a good team I know they no been in the best of form but they’re still good quality in that that Celtic team but I think Rangers now
Are a just a a different team under Philip clemont I think they can go there and and Come Away with the three points I think it’s going to be tough I do I really do think it’s going to be tough it’s going to be close big moments will
Count and I think Rangers will he make it count and Come Away with the three points many goals in it Or I’m huming and hor between 1 n and 21 you can never really tell Paul listen somebody could get sent off in the first minute you just don’t know um and so CL form does go out the window but there’s a lot of good players in show and what I
Like about Rangers is I’ll go back to it they’re respectfully what they’re coming up against and I like that I think that’s important he’s curious about the fixture and I think that’s the way he puts it he was he was asked what do you think it’s going to be like yeah I I’m
Curious to be honest because everybody’s been talking about that already a long time A lot of people are saying it’s a it’s a it’s a game that’s nowhere else in the world it’s that atmosphere so I’m curious about it Andy he’ll not be curious for long he w’t see it at his
Best because you want have aable away support so you you’ll get an experience of it but not the way it should be which is um a great shame but um yeah it’ll certainly be different and he wouldn’t have experienced much like it who’s going to be the key players then who
Will Celtic be thinking about from Rangers to really absolutely make sure that they don’t give them any space yeah I just think Celtic will be concerned about the pace that Rangers have got in their team SEMA has I think has been one of the the men um in form recently you’ve obviously always
Got to be aware their fullbacks I mean the who’s going to have the the better fullbacks tomorrow is it going to be barisich or Taver or Taylor and Johnson CU there’s a lot of responsibility on the the Celtic fillbacks to get forward and make a difference I don’t think
They’ve been as effective under Brendan Rogers as they were under an POA cogo but they still play a a big part in the game and um I just expect Celtic will Home Advantage to go over the line and Rangers who will they have have to watch most int stop Callum McGregor for
Dominating the the ball and that that’s what you’ve got to do he’s the first point of contact in terms of getting off the center backs and starting the moves um and I think uh if you keep him quiet you’ve got a real good chance but also
You’ve got the the pace and the movement MAA um and kyogo and obviously m r just behind them so Rangers have got a few players that need to make sure that they they keep quiet and don’t affect the game that’s the most important thing and then if Rangers do that I think they’ve
Got a brilliant chance he him away with three points Nick walks the referee tomorrow let’s hope we’re not speaking about him he’s a top referee isn’t he he’s a good record in these games Andy he’s a referee and I don’t think there’s a standout in Scotland at the
Moment I think they’re all being affected by VAR and you know what they can do and what they can’t do and then getting different opinions from people who are elsewhere it’s um I don’t think the standard of refereeing has been great let’s go V light tomorrow let’s
Hope this not too much of it Barry will yeah I hope it doesn’t have an effect on the game of I’m been honest you going to early to bed tonight Barry even though you’re not playing tomorrow no I’ll watch your football just see Bar B these Rangers for
Christmas the socials yeah right bar you and Peter Grant will he leave his Celtic jammies on tomorrow Celtic jam on his World Cup on his BS Andy thanks so much you bar and we’ll see you in the New Year look forward to Bar see you tomorrow at 12 the radio
