[Official TC Thread] Celtic v Motherwell - Betfred Cup Final, 3pm Sunday 26th November, BT Sport 1

Gordon
Ajer Boyata Jozo
Forrest Brown Armstrong Tierney
McGregor
Dembele Sinclair
​

Would feel comfortable that back 3 handling Moult and Bowman, can switch it to a back 4 easily as well. Gives Sinclair a freeroam role as well to play off Moussa.

​

 

We may say Ajer in one of the league games v them and I too would like to see more of him, but don't think tomorrow is the right game for him. And it's a risk we don't need to take, Bitton for me if Lustig not fit..

 

Can’t wait. Is Lustig fit? If he is I’d like;

...............De Vries

Lustig Boyata Simunovic Tierney

........Brown Armstrong

Roberts......Ntcham......Forrest

.................Dembele

 

Release 'The Moose' and just get these pick weilders pumped good and proper.

 

Quite liked that..

 

If we were playing 3-5-2, I'd expect Griff up front alongside Dembele to start tbh. KT in the back three, alongside Jozo and Boyata. Sinclair on the wing..

 

Thought Bitton was out as well? Or at least a doubt.

 

Was thinking that but as I say that team can easily slot into a 4231 if needed, KT not as big either so they would try and isolate him with the long balls.

 

Just read that there mate, aye well in that case it may well be Ajer.. think Sviatchenko is fit too but obviously not match fit..

 

Forgot about Erik but aye at least Ajer has been playing for the u21's.

 

Give Mick McCarthy the first 5 mins and see if that Bowman * really wants to mix it or no.

 

Magic.

Unreal with how big a achievement it would be for a team like Motherwell to win this cup. Players would go down as hero’s and the game would never be forgotten.

 

Much tickets has each club shifted? Think Motherwell still selling! We sold out are allocation? I believe in 50/50 but if its quite clear one team isnt going to sell its share, available tickets should be made to the other team if they can shift them!

 

I think they got 10k and we got just under 30k, remainder divided between corporate and sponsors.

 

That’s a good point. It’s easy to forget how big any cup win is for other teams.

I see it here with Dundee Utd, guys either talk about ‘94 or 2010 and it’s such a monumental event for them.

Let’s not give them that chance. :brendy:

 

"The Club's allocation of 32,600 tickets for this match is now sold out." according to website.

Allocation as below:

 

Just want tae sleep till it's kick off time Cannae wait for this the morra..gonna be a great salute to Phil O'Donnell and hopefully our first silverware of the season. Up the Tic. 3-1 tae us.

 

Yeah my mate who’s a Hibee shows me his twitter feed videos of their game v Zombies in 2016 everyday still since then. He always says to me you don’t know what this feeling is like to win one of the cups as a non CFC or RFC.

We need to be up for it because they sure will be!

 

Got a feeling it's going to be a horrible game. Start stop with lots of fouls. Motherwell will be trying every dirty tricks in the book to try and unsettle our style of play. We need an early goal and a strong ref.

 

Last final v them was my first trip to Hampden, 3-0.

Would take that score again for sure.
