4--1 the the good guys

 

Play the strongest team available.

 

For this game, I am torn.

I would prefer we rest Brown, play Koassi. He's not shown he's up to much, but we need a fit, rested Brown for the next two games of the season - shaping up to be our most important.

Up front it's tricky though. I know Dembele is often injured, and Griffiths is back to fitness, but we need Dembers for the Sudova and Huns game. Same time, Dembers needs game time after his recent injury. I wouldn't know what to do.

I would also play a slightly weaker team if possible v Hamilton, and roll out the massive big guns for the Sudova return.

Not confident we will win this one. I'm not confident we can win any game with our defence.

 

THERE’S a collection pre-match this Sunday, August 26, and Celtic FC Foundation, Glasgow North East Foodbank and The Wayside Club would like to invite all supporters who are attending the match to bring a donation which will help address issues of poverty, hunger and homelessness in our society.

The Wayside Club
The Wayside Club was established in 1932 to meet the needs of the homeless and those suffering from hardship and addiction in Glasgow.Run by volunteers, including Tom Boyd Snr, the centre is open every evening during the year (as well as a Saturday afternoon) and volunteers listen, comfort, give advice - if required, to try to assist in progressing its service users to a more hopeful future.

The Wayside Club provides a warm, friendly and safe environment where people benefiting from the service have access to shower facilities, free soup, tea, coffee, juice and sandwiches as well as haircuts, clothing and the odd game of Bingo.

Talking about his involvement in this pre match collection, Tom Boyd Snr said; “The Wayside Club is a vital lifeline for those in our local community who need a hot meal, a warm space, or even just a friendly ear. Over the years, we have received incredible support from the Celtic Family – and contributions from this collection will make a real difference to those who need a little help with daily provisions. On behalf of our beneficiaries and The Wayside Club, thank you.”

Glasgow North East Foodbank:
Celtic FC Foundation’s continuing partnership with Glasgow North East Foodbank, based at Calton Parkhead Parish Church, provides critical help to those in need and which sits here on our doorstep and beyond and encompasses the very ethos of why our club was formed.

The main ‘Hub’ based at Calton Parkhead Parish church not only supplies nutritionally-balanced emergency food parcels three days a week to those in crisis, but offers a much-needed cup of tea and a friendly face to talk to in times of turmoil and confusion.

Since our initial investment in 2013, Celtic FC Foundation have been a great supporter of the Foodbank and their vision to be 'more than a Foodbank'.

Glasgow North East Foodbank Project Manager, Tara Maguire said; “We are delighted that as a new season starts at Celtic Park, the generosity of the supporters is something we, along with other groups, can always depend on. As a Foodbank, we are dedicated to including other groups, doing similar work. This is just the beginning of an ongoing relationship between Glasgow North East Foodbank and The Wayside Club and we have been discussing other ways to help in the coming months. We’re hoping to have yet another amazing collection and look forward to meeting some of you on Sunday.”

 

My old dear volunteered in the wayside for years, good place run by good people

Dembele

2-0 and back to winning ways.

 

Mon the Hoops

 

Attacking KT you've got balls but you're right, we're a different side when he makes runs to the byline but sadly I think our defensive uncertainty makes him limit his attacking runs

 

We'll win this no probs, but we have to look good doing it.

The defence is still * though, clean sheet or not.

 

Hamilton?? is that a CB?

 

Is he playing? How much? He's better than McKenna? That'll do me.

 

ANYOne putting down 4231 at home against * hamilton is a used *. Have people not seen how chronic we are with 1 up top?

 

would love a comfortable 4-5 nil win, get the feel good factor back. Strongest team please, get this won by 45min then rest players

 

Gordon

Lustig Ajer Tierney
Forrest Brown Ntcham Emilio
McGregor Rogic
Dembele

5-1

 

Till we sign a centre half of drop Brown back to play alongside Ajar, breaks up play very well and doesn't shirk a tackle, cant keep playing poor player low in confidence. We have plenty midfielders to fill in for Brown

 

Should win comfortably. Although we will concede. 4-1

 

No we won't

 

Are cash donations possible? Woke up too late to stop in a supermarket.

 

Hope your right, but with our defence at the moment I can't see it
