Another 2-0 victory. Would like to see some more from Janko and Rogic as well.

 

A comfortable run out. 2-0. Johansen and Ambrose score.

 

This genuinely could be anything. I watched the Dundee highlights and they looked bereft of confidence in that last home game. A shambles of a squad assembled. If that's what morale is like on day one, they are in massive trouble..

Could easily be 5, depending on how much we go for it. Either way I think it will be a stroll in the park and Locke may just go at the final whistle, of his own accord or thrown out..

 

looking forward to this one, would defo rest lustig giving its a plastic pitch, just hope its for janko and not ambrose.

 

5 or 6 nil.

I would like to see Stokes on the left but seems he's been binned, not even making the bench.

Mulgrew, Brown and Forrest probably still out, rest Lustig and Boyata. Boyata should get a rest, this is his first real season of first team football and he's played every midweek and weekend for about 1 month now.​

 

I can see a big win coming this time as well. We normally stick a few past these manky *.

6-0 Celtic

 

2-0

 

Kilmarnock really deserve to be destroyed. They've been utter tripe for years, but they always manage to sneak out of the relegation zone. Want them gone.

 

Leigh Griffiths speaking to media ahead of Celtic's midweek clash against Kilmarnock

LG on starting domestic games but not in Europe: "At a club like Celtic you need to embrace that & just look forward to every game.

LG: "If I’m playing I’m delighted, but if I’m on the bench, I’m raring to come on.

LG: “You always have to be on your toes at a big club like Celtic but if the manager needs me, I’m always raring to go.

LG on contrast to last season: “It just proves how far I have come from last season, not being in the squad, now I’m starting games.

LG: “The league is our main priority but the #UCL is also a big thing for us and we have two difficult games coming up against Malmo.

LG: “Last season the manager was thrown right into it. This time he has us really focused and we’re ready to go.

LG: “You are playing against top players in CL, and no disrespect to SPFL but it’s a step up in class.

LG: “Every game I play I want to score goals and if I do that then it will be difficult for the manager to leave me out.

LG on domestic challenges: “Aberdeen pushed us really hard last season. Think John’s comments maybe taken out of context.

LG on Tom Rogic: “It’s been a long road for Tom but he came in yesterday & did really well, the manager was really pleased for him.

LG: "Testament to his character that he can come in and play like that.

LG on Kilmarnock game: “When we go and visit teams, they tend to raise their game against us, sure Gary Locke will have them fired up.


LG: “Playing in the lone striking role in #UCL your touch, hold-up play & link-up play has to be pinpoint or else you will be punished"




Ronny Deila speaking to the media at Lennoxtown today ahead of Wednesday's match against Kilmarnock.


RD on reporting of John Collins' comments on Scottish football: "This is a media thing. You take it totally out of context."


RD: Everybody agrees that you meet opponents some times in Europe that is better than what you meet in Scotland.

RD: We play @ChampionsLeague so that's a very obvious thing. Then you get tested harder than you do in the domestic league.


RD: That's not only in Scotland but in Norway or Sweden or wherever. It's much tougher to play there than in domestic league.



RD: So that's something I support but it's nothing to be disrespectful to other teams.


RD: I'm used to it. it's a circus, I say that all the time, so you have to play the circus. For me it's no problem.



RD: John Collins knows what football is and what quality is and what's best for Scottish football. He can talk about that.


RD: If there's one thing John Collins is, it's respectful. He's a respectful man so I support him and this is not a big thing.

RD: It's just the same for Aberdeen when they go out, they meet teams that are tougher than domestically.


RD: I also saw in the newspapers that they felt they got tested harder so it's a normal thing.

RD on @OfficialKillie : I haven't seen the games yet but they had a tough start and it's always hard to go to play Aberdeen.


RD: We have to be very ready for that game to start well and play like we did in the first half against @ThistleTweet


RD: Then I think we have a good chance to cause them problems.

 

I'd actually rest Bitton and Lustig..presuming Brown still missing.

hope Tierney gets another start, it's a good opportunity to rotate. It'll be interesting to see if Findlay will play for Killie

 

Findlay can't play..

 

Is that a rule?

 

I've never known us to loan out a player and them play against us domestically. I'm certain that's a rule..

 

It's a shame if true, I'd like to see him against decent opposition

 

So Brown, Armstrong and Mulgrew out?
