    County are terrible at home. Really struggling.

    Should be another comfortable win.

    Agreed, he would have been one of the first names on the team sheet for Sevco IMO.

    Decision to have him playing for the Development side not looking too good now! He's aggravated his knee.

    Not that fussed about Mulgrew being out of the semi in all honesty.

    Give me a guy that knows exactly what it is all about and who performs well in these games almost every single time over a guy like Bitton who, despite being a tidy player who is getting better, looks like he would wilt in a proper midfield battle.

    I just don't fancy playing a guy who hasn't played in well over a month and certainly wouldn't be properly fit. I think we have improved as a team since Bitton has taken Mulgrew's place, because he was in a very poor run of form. Ki also looked like a player who would wilt in a midfield battle, however, one of his best games in a Celtic jersey, if not his best, came at Ibrox when we were down to 10 men. We are a far better team than they are, and should be looking to go out and dominate possession, Bitton almost always retains possession. If we turn it into a battle, we are playing right into their hands in my opinion.

    It will be a battle regardless. Games against the Old Huns always were, even if we were playing good football or not.

    Have we improved as a team because of Bitton in your opinion? He has played well and is getting better but he was certainly not the catalyst for the upturn in form.

    We will dominate possession, that doesn't mean they are not going to be aggressive and press us all over the park. It will be a battle regardless of how we want to play.

    Bitton has improved us in the middle of the park in my opinion. He has been far better than what Mulgrew was showing prior to his injury. We have a guy in the middle of the park in Scott Brown who has plenty of dig, and has been over the course before, who will be in beside Bitton. There is a very likely chance that the game will be played at a frantic pace, do you fancy having a guy in Mulgrew who looked sluggish before his injury in my opinion, and hasn't played in a long time, come into the starting X1? I would rather have someone who is match fit, been playing week in week out, and playing well I feel. I think Bitton will start anyway, which I would be happy with.

    Nah I wouldn't play him, which is why I'm saying it's a blow him getting injured again. Even if he's fit I wouldn't play him, if he had played the Development game and against Ross County he'd have been a guaranteed starter for me.

    I'm not overestimating anyone, I'm saying it will become a battle and they WILL harry us all over the park. If you think otherwise you are deluded.

    Who said Mulgrew was a fighter and a battler? I said he's played well in games against the Huns in the past, brilliantly on many occasions.

    I would feel far more comfortable personally with a fit Mulgrew starting over Bitton who is a 6 foot 5 shitebag.

    I still want to see Guidetti come back in, really think all he needs is to just get that goal to end his drought and he'll start banging them in again.

    Sorry, I wasn't aware you couldn't be defensive and harry your opponent at the same time. Jose Casinho.

    I'll be brief for the same reason. They haven't got the players to do that.
