    Ralston CCV Welsh Taylor
    McGregor
    O'Riley Bernardo
    Kuhn Idah Forrest

    I'd go for that, give us a break from Scales and give Bernardo a start. Iwata, Holm, Hatate, Maeda and whoever off the bench.

    Start Palma if available but doubt he is.

    Would have rotated a wee bit more than than, but oh well. Good to get the first team as much time as possible to gel.

    Surprised Sinisalo isn't starting though, I assumed cup games would be his.

    * for that new keeper, to come from playing first team football to not even getting a home Cup game.

    Maeda in the middle. Nice. Although would have been good for Idah to start.

    Wanted Sinasalo starting all our cup gamed as well.

    But strong. Like it. 0-3. :ynwacelti

    Weird that Idah isn’t starting. No striker on the pitch.

    Hopefully another good outing from Kuhn.

    Im looking forward to seeing Maeda as the striker, probably end up Forrest as a false 9 now :56:

    I reckon he's deciding whether or not to sign a third striker or a winger. He'll play Maeda up front today to see if he's a viable striking option if both Idah and Kyogo are out. It's gonna be hard to keep a third striker happy if Idah and Kyogo stay fit all season.

    BR might want to give Schmeichel as many games as possible right now to help him develop and understanding with our defenders.

    Is this Francis Turley's first appearance as part of a competitive first team squad?

    Makes sense, as Maeda did play at least two of Japan's games at the Qatar WC as a central striker, and that was where he was playing in Japan prior to coming to Celtic, where ironically Kyogo was mostly being used as a wide player rather than through the middle.

    He’s had a pre season, don’t see the issue with starting him
