Celtic V The Huns Saturday 11th may kick off 12:30 Sky Sports football

I think we will win comfortably as well to be honest. I wouldn’t be happy with a draw though. I don’t want to be going to Killie knowing a defeat could have us back level on points. Because a difficult game is that bit more harder if that’s the scenario.

 

We are in a much better place now..

Hart, CCV, McGregor, Hatate, O'Riley, Kyogo, all playing well and Maeda back in the mix..

Watching them too, they look so poor.. everything points to us, but we still need to be on it.

 

Even if we drew to the huns and lost to Killie, a win at home to St Mirren last game would likely win us the league. That’s how much leeway we have right now.

Not that I’m even thinking along those lines. We should be pumping them.

 

Really don’t want it to go down to the last day. Remember in 2003 the night before my thoughts were that the Huns would be allowed to score as many goals as they needed against Dunfermline to win the league.

Also if the league is won by the last day Hearts will beat the Huns so we can’t say that they always lie down to them

 

Thank you for soothing that dread scenario @murphy88 just dropped. I can go back to being content with a draw if it is.

Feeling really confident though, it's all going our way in the lead up to the game. The players must be so sick of their fanbase (silva celebration, barasic fighting with one and Butland arguing with a goblin too)

 

Is it not to do with Scotland has 4 refs that do Euro games etc and they typically all get one of these a year?

It always seems to be Walsh, Beaton, Robertson has been pushed forward recently but used to be Madden. McLean has taken a step back but he’s VAR for Saturday. Collum is the only one of that sort of senior group that hasn’t had one this season.

 

I don’t want goal difference entering into it. Especially with the huns playing Hearts last game.

 

There will be no dread scenario mate. We will pump them this weekend and that will be that.

 

Scotland has NO REFS at Euros this year.

 

Sorry I meant European games like CL and EL. Not the tournament.

 

This game will be really interesting tbh.

They need to win. They have to if they want any chance of winning the league.

I can't see them doing well coming at us when they have 60k on their backs and dealing with Maeda and Kyogo breaking after their attacks.

We will surely be going for them. It could be end to end but they are out of form performance wise and have lost most of their defence to injury. We are back to full strength.

If you were in a coma until Monday and I told you that the game ended 4-0, would you ask to who?

 

Not strictly true.

Mostly it's the in form team that gets more points from this game.

It's a game of football where anything can happen but everything is pointing in our favour.

 

Plus regardless of what team we put out then we will have a strong bench to call upon if needed

 

If the huns press, which I'm sure they will, we will need to play the ball forward quickly. No * about with it at the back. Maybe bring Idah on earlier than normal.

If they stand off us we will do them.

 

Same team as Saturday but maeda in for kuhn.
Get forrest on his right side. Let maeda terrorise tavpen.
Any of the front 3 to score in the first 10

 

Exactly, they're going to have to come at us and at that point we've got a lot of quality to break with and find kyogo who's confidence will be high from last week, and in general because he knows he's got the better of their back line.

 

I can't see anything but a comfortable win, we just don't seem to bottle it or get nervous and they do add in the fact they are * and it should be about 3-0.

Kilmarnock would probably have beat them without a red card the other day, and likely have scored 2/3 against them. Dundee was it took 2 off them, Ross county 2 or 3. If Hearts came out like against us and had any kind of go would probably have scored a couple off them as well.

They are a * squad ability wise, playing terrible football and half of them are bottlers.

We control games very well, with authority and calmness. We have the likes of McGregor, Hatate and O'Riley who will be waltzing round them like men vs boys, we have controlled all 3 games against them this season with ease and composure really.

Kyogo, Idah, Kuhn, Forrest, Palma, O'Riley, McGregor, Hatate, Maeda and whoever are not going to fail to score at least 2 against them.

They need one of our players to be sent off probably to not lose the game and probably at least to score a penalty to get a draw as they create very little. I just don't see them as capable of scoring 2/3 from open play and they probably need that just to hope to draw.

Tavernier, Souttar, Davies, Barisic thats one of the worst defences we'll have ever came up against in a hun team with Lundstram in front the icing on the cake.

 

Going to stay local, was in the Dubliner last time here 17 years ago, it says theve got 5 x 55" screens online

 

They are gonna come out and start swinging at everything. We need to absorb that and if it's still nil all when the game settles down I fancy us to win if we take our chances. Always nervous with these games but they are imploding
