I think the back five picks itself. I'm looking forward to Jozo & Erik temprement being tested by that scumbag Garner. If the ref lets that little bollox throw himself about they could feel hard done by, I'm hoping they're coached well enough to hold their focus & concentration and not react. I hope he drops deep occasionally & comes into direct contact with Brown, that'd make my day. Speaking of concentration, Izzy needs to have his game head on, I love the chap and he's been excellent since he replaced Tierney and I'd rather he doesn't have one of his moments.

Midfield is tricky, I'm working on the assumption Rogic won't be fit enough to start. I've no problem with Bitton but that languid, casual style can be really annoying. First game here in years and this really is the kind of game we could do with a tough little * like McCarthy/Lucas or one of the numerous other DM's we've been linked with. Imagine having Lennon or Wanyama in there alonside Brown for this one! I'm starting to like Henderson & would be tempted to go with him but I think McGregor will get the shout.
Forrest & Sinclair wide, like the defence I think this is nailed on.
I still don't think Christie is good enough yet to be trusted in the Rogic role. I agree with a couple of the other posts that he could with a run of games play here and improve but he's just to far down the pecking order at the moment for this to happen.

I can't pick a front man. Today I'm leaning towards Griff but my opinion on this is changing every time I think on it.

I think they could get one, but they would have to be at their very best & us at our worst to put more than 1 past our defence. We'll create chances of this there is no doubt. Our front three & whoever is pushed on from midfield make good decisions & theres at least three in us.
Worst case scenario I see a 1-1. As I write this Paddy Powers shortest scoreline odds is a 6/1 on 1-1. After that its 7/1 for either a 1-0 or 2-1 to us. A low scoring tight affair according to them.

I think it will be frantic early on. Can't find the odds on at least 1 red but I think there will be one.

 

Been winding the zombies up no end about this. However I do genuinely think we'll give them a doing. We're gonna score 4, they simply can't handle our firepower.... and going by their forums. The Hun scum are starting to know their place.

 

Exactly this.

with all 6 goals.

 

If Rangers have any chance in this game they need to park the bus and hope to still be in it with 10 mins to go just like everyone else is doing with us these days. But the huns will go mental with that tactic so they may be forced out which will give us plenty of space to pump them!

Rogic is is big blow as has strolled the last couple of games Vs them. I would go

Gordon
Lustig Jozo Erik Emilio
Brown Mcgregor
Forrest Armstrong Sinclair
Dembele/Griffiths

 

Was just thinking...I know I'm going to get in a rage on Saturday when I see that * Garner being a thug. Hate him and hate myself for getting worked up about such a talentless *.

Sweetest revenge will be seeing his ugly face when his team gets pumped.

 

I would play Christie.

I don't think Dembele and Griffiths together works.

I just think Dembele offers more problems to their defence, Griffiths is the better finisher but Dembele holds the ball up and brings others into the game better imo and his record against them should scare them on the day, a nervous Kiernan is a great player for us.

 

They are going to be dirty, sneaky cheatin *, egged on by that midden of a horde in the stands.

Let's get this done by playing football the Glasgow Celtic way!! Show them up and embarrass them.

 

He has to be a stick on for first booking! Im looking into it!

Honestly, i can see them sneaking a draw, but cant really see how they can win unless we dont turn up at all. We are too good for them in truth, and as long as we dont panic or get in a flap if they score, then i feel sure a 2 goal margin is on the cards.

 

Wondering if Griff will be played in Rogic's position. Can see it causing them bother, but unsure if BR will risk having the both of them on. The one thing I know for certain about this match, is that they will be dirty * for sure, so having no backup could be troublesome. In saying that however, we have plenty of firepower in the likes of Roberts, McGregor, Christie, even GMS and Bitton.
So in my opinion, playing Griff in the "#10" role could give us maximum flexibility, and firepower.

Boy I know from the dark side thinks we'll hump them 4-0

 

A win is on the cards.
Unless... McLean has his say. Ex Hun season ticket holder and a brother who came through their youth ranks.
Pucker up bhoys... we're in for a *.

Just gotta rely on our superiority.

 

I'm the same, my head is all over the place with this one. Im been thinking were going to jump them to them getting a draw or even a dirty win! I know is on our game will run all over them but it's this * ref I'm worried about. One sending off, a few dodgy decisions and they could sneak it and if they do, I'll be * devastated! All I want now is for the game to be over, and us have 3 points in the bag and move on.

As for the date of the game, a * * of a time for it. I usually like having few for these game's but this one, think it'll be few cups tea because not a chance I'll be drinking from 11.30 right through to midnight. Them days are over! I hink that's what the decision was when deciding the time of this one. I can't see many on the soup at that hour because it's NYE.

 

Lads chill out, we have got this. 1 draw all season and beating all in front of us with ease. Sevco are utter *- Brendan will know how to get the job done. 2-0 Celtic for me.

 

Watched them late last night on BT repeats. * me, that's the revival. Held to a pitiful draw with barely a chance in the second half, and should've been down to 9 men and definitely 1, possibly 2 penalties denied for St Johnstone. Crawford Allan was without doubt motm. Running and celebrating jumping in to Huns who'd got on the pitch when they took the lead. (Garner) No booking. Literally we've been clean sweeping bookings for that religiously, and no even the right player's sometimes. Laughable. Supposedly should've lost at home to Caley last weekend so that result last night is hardly a shock..

Garner will be fouling and throwing his self to the ground but other than that. They've barely a threat. I expect McKay (and i don't rate him, he's a shitebag) who's maybe the main one, to be a left back with whoever they have as Forrest bombs forward..

We've picked up again as a threat and are in good shape. 3 nil pumping and nothing less. I'm trying to downplay it as much as I can, but we won't go there with our big game face on, last one before a wee holiday and the carrot of smashing these in there own back hovel, without scoring 3 or more..

 

Nothing seen of them makes me think we won't go out and comfortably beat them. They will be terrified of another hammering and highly doubt they will be so keen to be handed their arses in their own * pit.

First half we'll be forced to play aggressive and by controlling the midfield together with pace on the wings from Sinclair and Forrest their defence will be run ragged. Maybe just the one goal for us by HT and second half expect to see fresh legs come on and we grab another one or two.

It's after the game trouble will occur especially in the city centre. Not quite another Manchester but be wary of marauding Huns because history has shown these * can't take defeats.

 

Rogic is a huge loss. He really has made that no 10 role his own.

Armstrong is doing well but is still some way off Rogic for me.

 

Just like last night would be great...

1-0 up at 44 mins then a second on ht just to utterly demoralise them as they go in.

Then finish them off second half - no changing down a gear... Nothing to rest players for and need to compensate for the 10 man scenario and other 'honest mistakes'.

 

Would go with the same line up as last night. Christie done well, gave us a lot of energy for pressing high and always created space. If Griff isn't 100% then start Moussa but think Brendan will be starting the big man no matter.

 

the GB have a section for this.

The huns would * themselves at that team sheet.
