    Agree with those here who suggested we should give Nygren a go in the 9. Can't be worse than what we've got.

    All about how you choose to live your life really.

    Determined to be a miserable bastsrd (2 points behind) or a * legend (10 points ahead).

    I know where I'm landing :BR1:

    Maeda was limping. Trusty is injured. AJ out, Idah injured.


    Honestly, too many changes but hammer into these guys who are valuable members of the squad and some out to prove themselves that a game at home against a team that came up… go prove that you’re worth it, because its the perfect game for it that they should have more than enough quality.

    It’s a poor Celtic team no doubt but it has more than Livi. Go out and be counted.


    I * demand 3 points but I won’t go mad if it doesn’t work but we get through no injuries for Kazakhstan.

    Love the optimism of leaving McGregor out of your line up. We all know he's starting. :56:

    Maybe at left back :56:

    Be a right good inverted Lb to be fair.

    Dread to think what the team will look like today, could be even more toxic towards the board come the end of the game should the worst happen.

    Is there not some rule that if we play inamura, he can’t go out on loan?

    I get we need to force the board into action. However some folk here are reveling in it. Weve drawn 1 game ffs.. Folk talking of the huns being 2 ahead, like we'll never score or win again. Its geniunly mad.

    We will struggle, after all, half the teams out and rested for Tuesday. What should have happened was cancel this game but it does give us a chance of going 10 clear (maybe 7) when we * those * next week. So i get why we're going for it. Also forced their hand into trying to play stmirren when they are dreadful. Overall, we'll be good. We are the champions for a reason

    Let’s be honest. Any player in our squad that can’t beat Livingston (from the fringes right up to the starters) doesn’t deserve to be here if so.

    Rodgers has talked up Murray no end. Play him.

    Chance for Kenny or Yamada to prove their worth.

    absolutely chance for him to play Osman and give others a rest. I’d even only play Yang for a half as he is evidently and sadly our best winger at the minute.

    And also a chance for Bernardo, McCowan, Engels to stake a claim for a starting spot on Tuesday.

    If the board had done their job properly mate we'd have been strong enough to cope with Wednesday night and today without cancelling the fixture. They literally always try to gamble when its unnecessary. Keep making the same mistakes and hoping for a different outcome is absolute stupidity. It's self sabotage at it's finest mate.

    We're still playing scales at CB when he was played there for a stop gap 2 years ago.

    It took us 5 years to replace Tierney, with Tierney. And now we need cover for him.

    Kyogo away since January, hasn't been replaced.

    Kuhn wanted away since January, sold at the start of summer and hasn't been replaced.

    Jota been injured since end of last season, no replacement.

    Having to play the likes of Idah, Yang, 33yro Forrest, Scales and Ralston is a disgrace.

    Yes, there are different rules around the season timings for the 2 clubs in 1 season rule. He would be able to play and go out on loan

    Scales has been motm in plenty of European games. I dont get his hate but that's different folks opinions. If you want someone to be pirlo on the ball then swap him out with an actual midfielder.

    The rest is justified. Atleast today its forces his hand in playing big yamada. He could well be kyogo 2. Im sure we'll no by 60 mins today if he's any good.

    It's not a hate towards Scales mate, from my perspective anyway, he has done well and in many ways made CB his own, but it still doesn't mean we shouldn't be aiming higher.

    Imagine we are absolutely injury ridden to the point Sinisalo had to come on to play Midfield for 20 mins, does quite well, I could literally see the board saying "that's a Midfielder less we have to buy as our keeper can play there"

    Agreed with Yamada, he needs a run in the team.
