SPFL Dundee United V Celtic Sunday December 22nd kick off 12PM Sky sports football

Back to League action once and a trip toTannadice this coming Sunday


Should be a good game 3-0 for the Hoops

 

United are a very weird team, sometimes they look good, other times they wouldn't look out of place near the bottom of the Championship.

Would like to see the partnership of Trusty and Scales in action again for this one.

A weeks rest until this game.. can be a tricky place to go tho.. 3 points and back down the road are all that matters

 

Like a wee trip down the road to Dundee, the city with circles as opposed to roundabouts

0-3 then on to Santa time

 

It's difficult to say who should start this one because we do have a week since we will have last played. Christmas is a busy time though so we should really be utilising the squad. Beginning to really miss O'Riley recently. Just feels like we are missing something. Anyways I think we should be using the squad now over the next while. Some guys coming in and out.

They play an odd set up against most SPL clubs but should in theory lend itself well to playing celtic. Give up vast majority of possession, low block and then fast counter. Apparently they have done this even at home against 'smaller' clubs which have frustrated their fans but results have been good. So their shape will be well drilled.

Really glad we have the week off after the cup final as a few of them looked absolutely done as you would expect. Team selections will be based on planning ahead over the next few games so no idea who starts. Looking forward to it, should be a good game.

AJ needs a rest, suspect he is carrying a knock.
Just feel Yang needs a start and game may be too tight for Maeda

 

Strongest team possible, start of another crazy run of fixtures but got 5 games in Glasgow after this so you'd imagine we'd use the two home matches before Ibrox to rest anyone. Not away again until County on Jan 11th.

McCowan's cup tied for this

 

How come we don’t have a winter break this year?

 

Is it no a league game

 

Heard earlier it's cause we don't have the space for it with European games in January. We've got 2..

 

Would take a draw here based purely on the amount of bevy that’s allegedly been flowing since Sunday..

 

* it...most successful club in the world. We'll just demand a replay.

 

Matt had a good eye on Kyogo's run and they generally understood each other's game very well.
In his own words:

"
With 38 goals between them, you can bet that a few of those 18 assists by O’Riley led to Kyogo goals, and the midfielder is delighted with his relationship with the Japanese striker.

He told the latest edition of the Celtic View: “It’s very good, both on and off the pitch, I find him really easy to play with because his movement is so good.

“I think that he trusts that I’m always going to look to play in the ball, because I try to look forward as much as possible, so right from my first season here right up to now, we’ve had a really good relationship.

“I don’t know what the number is, but I’m sure a lot of my assists have come for him.”
