SPFL Ross County v Celtic Saturday January 11th kick off 12:30 Sky sports football

Absolutely get this played ffs. HH

 

Will be McCowan on the right and Yang on the left I’m pretty sure. Hatate, Engels and McGregor the 3 in midfield.

Just goes to show the importance of getting a quality winger in the door this window. * forbid either Maeda or Kuhn are out for the Young Boys game, would be an absolute * disaster.

 

Yep 442 the celtic way HH

 

Obviously will be missing Maeda and Kuhn but I think we'd be fine with that winger set up tomorrow.

 

Aye bit of a lottery with Reo for sure. Think he'd be better with that security behind him instead of having to be disciplined. Guy's a maverick on his day, think we'd need to give him first dibs see how he delivers.

 

Finally well see Kyogo and Idah together
Can imagine Yang maybe starting along side those 2 given every other winger is out - although BR did try McCowan wide for 15mins last game.

Midfield = Calmac - Engels - Bernardo
Usual back 4 plus Kasper.

 

Schmeichel
Ralston Scales Trusty Valle
McGregor
Bernardo Engels
McCowan
Idah Kyogo​

4-1-2-1-2, I honestly think it could work.

 

442, why not?

 

Kasper
AJ - CCV - Trusty - Taylor
CalMac
Engles - Hatate
McCowan - Idah - Kyogo
​

Yang and Bernardo off the bench. If we're up, Kenny too.

 

That’s probably the team we’ll see, I reckon.

 

Kaspar

Johnstone CCV Trusty Taylor

Engels

Bernardo McGregor

Kyogo Idah Yang

​

If Yang (probably when) isn’t performing, try Valle or Hatate there.

 

Kasper

Johnston
CCV
Trusty
Valle but will be Taylor

McGregor
Engels
Hatate

McCowan but will be Yang
Kyogo
Idah

Subs
Sinasola
Ralston
Scales
Valle
Bernado
Hatate
Yang
Kenny
Murray

 

Expect this to be hard game tomorrow up in Dingwall, any sort of win will be a good result.

 

Would love to see a Diamond of McGregor Engels Bernardo Harare. But I think we might go 3-5-2

Kasper
CCV Trusty Scales
AJ McGregor McCowan Engels Valle
Idah Kyogo

 

Good chance to try something different and will be disappointed if we don’t.

Idah Kyogo

​

AJ and Valle both capable of getting forward and giving us width. Especially Valle compared to Taylor who always comes inside the pitch.

 

Kyogo as LW which was his original position for Vissel Kobe

 

I think the only bearing it’ll have is Rodgers making sure that the question of us resting on our lead in the league doesn’t come up. He alluded to it coming into it after the game at Ibrox, if he thinks that’s a thing he’ll be ruthless in sorting that out.

That’s something BR would be seething about if he thinks the players are thinking it’s ok, we’ve got such a big lead, and not commit to the win.

And not just Rodgers either, McGregor would be beyond angry with that attitude. He’s the exact opposite and always has been.

That’s not a worry for me. Yang being our only winger is, and that is making me think that a draw might be likely tomorrow. Depending on the line up, cos I also have a sneaky thought if it’s Kyogo wide right the runs and space he could have coming off the wing and at the back post I’d probably have a fiver on 0-0 and a fiver on Kyogo hat trick

 

I thought of a diamond being the obvious solution with the injuries out wide. But BR’s always been absolutely reliant on his wingers, every team he’s had, the wide men have been the key to his creativity on field. Can’t see him having ever have worked on a diamond, or resorting to it.
