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

Totally agree with you about not having a mid week game after this weekend final. I think we would have really struggled mentally and physically if we did. I remember us after Ange's first League Cup win drawing 0-0 away to St Mirren in the mid week after beating Hibernian in the League Cup Final. Hopefully the few extra days rest and then to prepare has us ready for Dundee United.

 

Just reckon it will be a tight game, they will park bus bigtime, not a hope in * we will score goals similar to our second and 3rd an Sunday last. So Iadh to start for me

 

Good, absolutely hate the winter break and if the weathers bad enough the games get postponed anyway!

 

If we're a couple of goals up in this one, I'd bring Palma on. A bit more game time could help us sell him.

 

Just cant see Palma being in the squad even

 

I would sit Johnston out of this one and play Ralston just to give him a chance to recover. I would actually not play him until St Johnstone on the 28th. Gives him a game to get in the swing of it before Ibrox and if he doesn’t make it gives Ralston game time to get up to speed.

I would be tempted to play one of Yang or Forrest on the left and give Maeda a rest, then bring him back in and give Kuhn either Motherwell or St Johnstone at home off.

Idah would start for me and rotate the striker role up to Ibrox.

McCowan would come in for Hatate as he looked done on Sunday and Bernardo and McGregor would play.

Valle would come in at left back.

So I would go

Schmiechel
Ralston
CCV
Trusty
Valle
McGregor
Bernardo
McCowan
Yang/Forrest
Kuhn
Idah

 

We are in charge of our fixture list now, going by followfollow this week.

 

First trophy achieved...time to utilise the squad.Mc Cowan and Idah to get their starting places at Tannadice,methinks.

 

Full 7 days rest here no need for wholesale changes could be a tricky game.

 

The most important thing here is three points, no matter how they come.

The second most important thing here is hanging around the edge of the box and inviting contact, hoping for a dubious penalty.

 

Hopefully Willie is off and able to attend this one. Deserves to celebrate with the Hoops support.

 

Ralston probably starts this one..

 

Be cutting it fine after Sunday mass

 

One stud on the line .

 

Haha so true who knew we were this omnipotent.

 

I would be very surprised if he didn't especially given the packed schedule afterward games wise over the next month.

 

Agreed. With McCowan back we might well not see Palma again if he does move to an MLS club next month.

 

From what I've seen of these lot, they look terrible..

Got a lack of pace right through their team and in a bit of a false position in my opinion..

Don't think this will be as hard as some are predicting..
