We are seen by most as underdogs for this game, but wasn’t it the same last time out? And look what happened…

Not long now until kick off in the biggest game of the season so far. Yes it’s Glasgow Derby time once again, and the excitement is now going through the roof.
We head into this game just like the last one, apparently as underdogs. Yes I know we are at home and with a full crowd behind us, but we haven’t been at our best lately while our opponents seem to have gathered a bit of momentum. The bookmakers will have us as slight favourites, but the media and rival supporters won’t see it that way and will all be expecting to see theRangers triumph.
Even some of our own supporters aren’t confident in us getting a result ahead of the game but that will surely change by 12.30pm tomorrow lunchtime.
But just like that last game we shoved all that to the side and focused on the task in hand. Brendan Rodgers is a quality manager and seems to pull all the cards out his sleeve when it comes to the crunch moments. He lives and breathes these games and seems to relish the challenge. It’s the only game up here he will feel that way about and perhaps that’s why he seems to get most things right in the big games.
Make no mistake, he will have a game plan for tomorrow and he will be making sure the players are all up for it as well as following all his instructions to the letter. Brendan has been there and done it, he knows what tomorrow is all about, and he knows the importance of getting all three points.
