Hamish and Stevie look ahead to Celtic’s first match of 2025 — a derby visit to Ibrox.

The Celtic support are feeling confident going into this game but how will things play out? Can we pile more misery onto Rangers?

  1. The midfield did things more quickly against St Johnstone because they were far more open and a poor team. They were terrible defensively.

  2. Happy New Year Hamish, Stevie and everyone at Celtic AM. That 1994 derby Stevie spoke about was my 1st. It was horrendous, couldn't get the boat back to Belfast quick enough. I think the younger supporters should watch that game and appreciate how our fortunes have changed in recent years. Enjoy the moments. HH 🍀

  3. I think we are all way too confident, Clement has saved players specially for this game, dropping points in the process. Cup final was really close. I think this one will be too.

  4. Will be a tough game tomorrow, they will try to kick us off the park.. Robertson won’t protect our players. 🍀

  5. Hamish I think your reliance on the Rangers fans getting on the team’s back if we start well is misplaced unless Celtic continue to play well and capitalise on their superiority. Just look back on the 3-3 game last season and the 2-2 result the previous year where we were so far ahead in the first half to then be pulled back in the second and almost lose the games. Rangers do seem to relax somewhat when behind so we need to get ahead and continue to press home that advantage. We have the players to punish the opposition so we need to impose our superiority tomorrow.

  6. They can turn Celtic Park if we don’t get into our rhythm, we are two positive attacks away from giving them a reactor core alarm. Remember that game, Mark Hayley made you wish you stayed in yer Kip.

  7. Through injuries they will have a starting back line of Sterling King Propper Yilmaz 😂😂. I’ve got visions of an empty ibrox by 80 mins 🍀

  8. The reason everyone is so confident is because if we lose it doesnt matter hahah😂😂 ok, we will be annoied for a day or two but thats it 😂

    We are still 11 clear and rangers have two away games the next two weekends 😂 whos even to say they will win them lol

  9. The excuses are getting compiled at this very minute. I’d be surprised if they get a decent turn out tomorrow, and that’s only the first 11.

  10. In terms of managers losing their job after a derby defeat, you could argue Venglos (1999) was outed after losing to the cup final. Also Deila (2016) resigned after losing to them on pens in the semi final when they were still in the second tier.

  11. Butland "bleeding internally" … Allegedly Police Scotland have questioned Daizen 😳

  12. Ibrox will deliver it's verdict on Clement. Doesn't really matter what happens. We've won the league. What will be interesting tomorrow is the reaction of the crowd depending on what happens on the pitch. I can't see us losing and there's no real pressure to win. 14 point lead in January is massive. It could get ugly for them.

  13. Hoping for a result”….in every game there is a result…win, lose or draw…..there are good results and bad results….today will be a good result…..
