7th Heaven or Easter Hell

We're experiencing unseasonably hot weather for this time of year. Running around in this weather has me sweating like Neil Lennon's postman. And boy is the heat up in the streets of Glasgow. The vile threats on Lennon's life is one thing but a premeditated making of a bomb is incomprehensible and Sundays 7th and final Old Firm meeting of the season could be the most memorable game of the season but for all the wrong reasons.

Chief of Police in Glasgow likened it to the perfect storm. Tensions were already high but with hot weather, a bank holiday and the title at stake, are we hoping against hope that Glasgow stays safe this weekend. I certainly wouldn't bet on it and it's a shame in these supposed peaceful times there are morons that will not shake 400 years of dumb sectarian divide. It may add to the rivalry but it shouldn't be carried onto the streets and do people like Rod Stewart and Billy Connolly now need a security man to check their post because they are Celtic fans.


The title may be at stake but the only result that would really end it is a Celtic victory. A Rangers win or a draw and the title is still very much alive as neither side will go the rest of the season undefeated. They have both looked ordinary in the last few games especially against St Mirren.

Luckily for Rangers and the city of Glasgow as a whole, I cannot see a Celtic victory. Rangers were taken apart playing four across the back and while employ the sweeper and hit Celtic on the counter with Jelavic finally filling the void left empty by Miller. I can Celtic getting caught early in the match to the Croat and he is an excellent bet for First goalscorer at 9/2 or 5/4 Vanytime.

Will Rangers hold out for the win? They'll need a few decisions to go their way and I could never rule that but actually we need to always look for an angle and for me, my angle is the SFA want a draw, Glasgow wants a draw, the police want a draw and Celtic and Rangers would be both reasonably happy with a draw in the circumstances.
