A win & no injuries would be a good result

The pub team jibe is in reference to the playing staff and recent results such as losing to a team of accountants and post men in August.I wouldn't read too much into the "pub team" comments. It's just a lazy, throwaway jibe. I think most people are well aware of the financial disparity between English and Scottish clubs.

Why would anyone go boozing around Ibrox anywaty when we're playing Celtic? Merchant city is the place to be .....
The Louden Tavern is nowhere near Ibrox. It is within walking distance of Parkhead. While East Glasgow is predominently Celtic, the area around Bridgeton, between Parkhead and Glasgow Green is very strongly Rangers.Why would anyone go boozing around Ibrox anywaty when we're playing Celtic? Merchant city is the place to be .....
I would keep well away from the place. However, if you have UVF tattooed on their knuckles you will fit in fine!
Why any City fan would go into the Louden or any similar type boozer is beyond me? These are the same type who recklessly wreaked havoc and unleashed hell on the citizens of Manchester..but each to their own
Generally, the Celtic fans will show respect to our visitors and the event will pass trouble free should the same respect be returned.
As for on the pitch, given the massive gulf in resources, city should despatch us quite comfortably but as this season has shown with Leicester , Iceland and most recently with the mighty Gibraltarians, anything can happen on any given day!!
All said, enjoy your night , win lose or draw and beware the fearless northern Gael! Hail Hail

Looking forward to this one even though it really is a total mis-match. The closer it gets the greater sense of 'what if' I'm getting. Although, in reality im fully expecting to take a pretty heavy 3/4-0 defeat. This season especially, city look the real deal and although we look a better side this year it's just not going to be enough.
The year we beat barca, we were lucky on the night and the spine of our team consisted of Fraser Forster, Van Djik and Victor Wanyama, who later on were sold as 3 of our biggest ever transfer fee's and are performing well in the EPL.
You are right to be confident, you are strong favourites and no wonder.. You have arguably the best manager in the world and some of the best players, combined playing the best football i've ever seen from a city team up against a team who's biggest signing was a £4.5million reject from city..
We will be aiming to hold out the first 20minutes without conceding, as the game goes on the more our confidence will grow but in reality... could be a long night.
Also, going to the louden before the game is laughable.. dive of a pub looking to cash in on your support.. strange one but whatever floats your boat.. best off in the city centre.

Yes, one is near to Celtic Park. The one offering an unlimited amount of ham, pies, stale pints and shite banter is located at the other end of the city. Absolutely no use to anyone. Go and enjoy Glasgow not ibrox. The same way I wouldn't really recommend going to the Gallowgate (celtic area). The merchant city usually has a fan zone set up for CL games

Agreed, it's just a Rangers pub trying to drum up business for themselves. And you'll probably be sharing the bar with a few that were there causing havoc that night in 2008. Wonder if that picture of Margaret Thatcher is still on the wall there...
Yeah, we could go to a Celtic pub instead and stand beside guys who ripped out our seating the last time you came down
