Hello and welcome to the Cynic Weekly on Wednesday, the 8th of May 24, we're

recorded on Wednesday.

And I believe this will be on your ears on Thursday morning, so welcome to the future.

As always, I'm joined by Alan Edgar.

Alan, how are you?

Have you got your battle fever on yet?

Yeah, I've been there.

I've been there quite early this week, unfortunately.

And recording a night earlier has...

Yeah, I'm perplexed, to be honest.

I'm like a dog.

I'm just very confused.

My internal clock is now all over the place,

so I'm very much looking forward to Saturday at half-past half-past half. I've got visions of you waking up on

Friday morning. We're getting up on my can. I'd always like to be first in the stadium, but this is

a bit much. We're also joined by Stuart Duggan. Stuart, how are you? How's your preparations going

for the game? Yeah, I'm good. Good morning to all the listeners, I suppose. I'm good. I'm actually trying to

limit my intake of build-up so far. There's only so many ex-players that you can hear going.

Oh, you know, it's a big game for Celtic, you know, it's a big game for Rangers

and the sort of 50-50 Sky Sports,

milking everything all week.

I don't really care for that.
