Mouthwatering fare on Hogmanay .
Rangers legend Mark Hateley on Fantasy Football Club on Sky Sports 1 at the moment. Mark Hateley was a wonderful old school centre forward.

Mark Hateley was the scourge of Celtic for years. I believe this was the goal that ultimately cost Liam Brady his job.
Sky or BT covering this?
Sky Sports, unfortunately. Theyâve got all Celtic-Sevco league games as part of their deal.
Bhoys, what team lineup are you expecting and desiring?
The goalkeeper and back four are fairly settled now.
Rodgersâ press conference yesterday strongly hinted that DembĂ©lĂ© would start ahead of Griffiths (rightly imnvho).
I think the fit again wide duo of Forrest and Sinclair will start too.
With Rogic injured the midfield three will be Brown, Armstrong and one of Bitton, Christie, McGregor or Roberts.
He needs to decide whether we go for the 4-2-3-1 with someone alongside Brown and a #10 (like at the start of the season) or Brown as the controller from deep in a 4-1-2-3 and a pair of #8s ahead of him (since Bitton was dropped after the loss at home to BMG).
I suspect heâll go for McGregor to play alongside Armstrong ahead of Brown and Iâd be happy with that.
Gordon;
Lustig, Simunovic, Sviatchenko, Izaguirre;
Brown;
McGregor, Armstrong;
Forrest, Dembélé, Sinclair.
Yeah I think McGregor is most likely. I think Roberts is our best player not starting (with Griffiths maybe) but he doesnât really suit the gap we have. And I wouldnât being Sinclair or Forrest off their wings because both are too good coming inside off the wings already and you donât want to start them there.
Did you give any thought to Griffiths and Dembele both starting?
I didnât consider both DembĂ©lĂ© and Griffiths starting because they havenât really complemented each other when theyâve played together - theyâre a pair of #9s but with different attributes.
You could move Roberts into the middle in a 4-2-3-1 with Armstrong beside Brown but I think itâs more likely heâd start Bitton in that midfield shape with Armstrong moving forward (Bitton started both Sevco victories before losing his place).
Could you recommend a Spotify playlist to get me ready for the game? Iâm going for a 5 (five) km run at 8.15pm.
Yeah agreed on all that.
I wouldnât be disappointed if Bitton played. Heâs far from useless and he should have the measure of them. But it takes away from some of Armstrongâs game and he deserves to play in his best role at the moment.
I had a good one that I lost somehow. Canât remember its name.
I have one by liwuidafor1967 at her moment and one called Celtic FC by Stephen Dalton. Youâll need to skip a few tracks but theyâll do the job.
