Play the team we played today then if they beat us we can always say it was the reserves.
I think we should but it's increasing the chances of a humping. The mags are canny shit in the PL, but all of their players would get in our team.
 
I'd be over it canny quickly if we drew them and they beat us. But for me the potential of winning far outweighs the negatives of losing to them. Every single one of them would hit ultimate meltdown mode
This! We have no right to win and the crowd would be like nothing the players would ever experience again. Be great to see the stadium full again.

Bring it on as it’s a win win!!
 
Mags at home. Honestly praying for this.

Honestly mate, why?

We need to be realistic with ourselves here.

They will play their full strength team as they can't afford to lose the game, and they will absolutely destroy us.

It would be the type of game that could completely derail Johnson and our season as a whole, because as ridiculous as it would be, if we were to lose to them a large percentage of our fans wouldn't be able to get past it.
 
They're young kids mostly not from the area and would get over it fairly quickly I'd imagine

Some might mate, others will take time.

Tbh, I really can’t think of anything worse at the moment. Things are going well and the last thing we need is a derby to add pressure on the team.

That'll be the same Rangers who beat all conquering Celtic in a cup semi final whilst in the championship (which is the equivalent of the national league in England)...

I was in the away end at Parkhead when Celtic beat us 5-0 and won the league 3 or 4 seasons back. We expected it and we moved on fairly quickly afterwards.
That’s one game out of how many? Then got hammered 3-0 a few month later, the comparisons are the same and look how Rangers performed against Celtic, got hammered and embarrassed on several occasions and the same could happen to us

Thought Clint Hill marking Dembele was a mismatch? Imagine Flanagan or Winchester against ASM, we would get hammered

Spot on.

And if we were to win?
 
Bruce would turn out his strongest possible side if we draw the barcodes and we'd never hear the last of it. It'll be a few seasons (at least two) before we can hope to compete. Anyone who thinks that we would have nothing to lose needs to give their head a bloody good shake. This is football and our biggest rivals, nobody will look at which league either side are in. Personally I'd prefer Burnley to give them a good hiding and for us to play anyone other than them at this moment in time.

Thats fair enough mate and I understand your pov, but the lads are doing ok and I feel it would be a no pressure game and the stadium would be bouncing.

Imagine if they pulled it off.
