    No doubt they will start with full guns blazing. Their "tactics" will be the usual high punts into our defence together with the usual falling down at the slightest impact looking for fouls or, in Kent's case, penalties. Our players will need to weather the initial storm and also be wise to their antics. I'm sure big Ange will have them prepared. Just fecking hammer the feckers Celtic.

    Tomorrow is a chance to win the league IMO. I can’t see them come back from 12 down.

    If they win we’re still firmly in the driving seat but will need to be on our game for the rest of the season.

    We’re in a very strong position no matter what.

    No * about the morra, intae them fae the start, win the first and second balls and get them pumped.

    3 points the morra and they are broken.

    I think Mooy is a this best in a deeper role. McGregor at the 6 was a logical choice alongside O'Riley and Hatate. If O'Riley doesn't start, I'd use Mooy at the 6 and McGregor on his left as a box-to-box player. He's way better than Mooy at pressing the ball.

    Curious to see whether Johnston starts. We could have a use for his physicality, but then again, it might be a bit too soon for him. If only we had a bit more time to ease him in.

    I don't fancy Mooy because his recent history in a Celtic shirt shows he can't adapt to fast paced, high intensity games.

    While he's been good since the break I'd rather O'Riley get the nod tomorrow. He's due a goal as well..

    The closer it gets....the more I'm no sure if Mooy should start over O'Riley..

    Also think Jota maybe start over Abada..

    * knows. Maeda starts out left all day long..

    As Bizarre as it sounds because of the age difference, O'Riley has more experience in skelping huns than Mooy.

    Also, as another use mentioned, O'Riley is very good at breaking down play high up the pitch and is also quicker (albeit it's not a large measuring stick in comparison) compared to Mooy.

    If we were playing in another SPFL dross, I would've gone with Mooy, but for the huns, I think Ange will go with O'Riley for the above reasons.

    I'd also go with Jota, he usually turns up for the big games.

    He's the slowest player to ever play in Scotland. Fact.

    What you will see tomorrow is crosses into the box, try and win set pieces and then knockdowns. They will be allowed to kick * out us. The plan is to ensure we don’t win.

    if we manage to overcome that it will be glorious. If they somehow get a win it will be insufferable for weeks.

    If Celtic start the game on the front foot I can't see us losing the game. They'll start with everything getting thrown at us but it'll leave them exposed and our pace will open them up. Hatate will get a couple again tomorrow coming from deep and kyogo will kill the game...3 nil or 3-1 to the hoops.

    Good shout. He turns quicker than the bull, but that's because Turnbull literally does 3 point turns on the pitch.

    Did you post in his thread after Easter Road? :ange2:

    To be fair I had same opinion that he was too slow on and off the ball but since the world cup he's got better and better..

    Looks fitter. Wee bit more mobile, although still no quick. A lot quicker on the ball. Range of passing has improved. Getting about the park and dictating it more...which comes with match sharpness and confidence..

    I was Mooy in all the way for this. Wouldn't moan if he starts tomorrow but as the games creeping up....I'm starting to think O'Riley again as he intercepts a lot against them and takes up good positions out wide/in-between the lines..

    He'll get some sort of game time tomorrow and I think he'll do well..

    Even his passes man, he takes an age most of the time to pass the ball ... 5 yards.
    If he wasn't Australian he wouldn't be in our squad :fear:
