Prediction
On paper, a Sunday tie looks balanced.
Rangers hold a home advantage and a superior league position, but new Celtic players are starting to gel, and last Saturday's 4-0 chase could be an indication of things to come.
This is also Ally McCoist's first Old Firm excursion as manager of the famous Govan club, so much pressure will be on the shoulders of Scottish beginners, Scotland, coming at 12:30 pm.
Personally, I think Celtic have too much firepower for their Glaswegian counterparts.
The extraordinary appearance of the attack last week showed everyone what the Bhoys were able to do, and I fear that the McCoist army could be torn apart.
However, with Dorin Goian who is playing great, the Celtic front line may have difficulty finding their way through the Romanian men's mountains.
