    I think we should focus on their weaknesses rather than any we may have.

    Their centre backs are definitely their weak points no matter what pairing
    the play there, Goldson, Katic, or Worrall, all suspect to balls over the top. Tavierner can't defend well and is usually charging up the field leaving them exposed on the counter attack down the right. McGregor is poor at both near posts and at inswinging corners.Who we can get to take decent inswinging corners I don't know.

    But I would probably go as follows and match them three in the midfield where they are at their strongest.

    Yes it very much depends on who is match fit, I meant to say that too.
    I like your idea of rotating all front three, and I would definitely
    subscribe to Weah and Bayo coming on too. maybe squeeze in Rogic as an impact sub too.

    Canny see Rogic startin this tbh, don't think his form was even that great before he went away to play for his National side.

    I wouldn't be playing Johnston anyway , neither Henderson.

    Hopefully Christie or Ntcham is back , and he's also got Weah and Burke there.

    Dropping Forrest would be insane. He's been involved in a goal in 4 of our last 5 games...with the other being a goalless draw.

    Wouldn't risk Rogic although if Neil throws him in then fine, has a great record against them. Think Burkes pace could be key, tbh Sinclair has went off the boil last few weeks and Forrest did set up a goal last game and scored a great goal a couple of weeks ago but has been pretty pish outwith that. If it wasn't them you seriously couldn't comain about bringing in Burke and Weah but too risky.

    I'm gonna say 1-0 or 2-1.

    Exactly the zombies have nothing to lose and need to win the game so they will attack from the off just like the december game and burke should play from the start to catch their defence when they push up .

    We've so many options for a starting 11 here.

    I've done a complete U-Turn on Toljan and am now convinced the boy is *.

    Bain
    Ajer Boyata Benkovic Tierney
    Brown
    Ntcham McGregor
    Forrest Burke Edouard

    That's what I've come up with at first but if Rogic is fit he's got to play.

    Watching us recently and caught some of their recent games it could potentially be one * brutal game of football. They are absolutely * though.

    They can't handle a simple punt up the pitch, need to go two up front, I'd start Burke as I think his pace and power will terrorise their pish defense.

    Just win Celtic, don't give a * how. 3 points is crucial.

    I wouldn't be against Johnny Hayes starting or making an appearance either.

    Think he would be the type of guy who would be ideal for getting the sleeves rolled up and getting stuck right in. Thought he was excellent coming on against Dundee as well, really took the game to them, he would rip Tavernier for pace all day long.
