Celtic 1 - 0 Dundee United

I think big Ange will be telling the bhoys to get the job done first half with 3 goals minimum. Won't be surprised to see the second half treated as a training game and subbing key players early if we are way up.

 

Hoping to get this won early on and then get some rested and those in need of time on the pitch on. Other than that just win again.

Ralston to seriously chop down Butcher in the first 5 minutes. He deserves some physical retribution to remind him of his manners.

 

That's the way to do it each game, and Celtic have the players to do it. Need to be seriously focused.

 

I live to watch Celtic play and anticipate each game. I have watched every game this season on my lap top or on Bein Sport.

The only other time I have been so obsessed with a team was when I was younger,starting at 8 yrs old and following local side South Melbourne FC for over 20 years (and still do ), and also Panathinaikos FC under Puskas in the 70s.

In 1967 I fell in love with Celtic, watching them knock off mega Euro club Inter-Milan on a little black and white tv shown on the ABC channel 2. First club in Britain ever to do it. Not an English club, a Scottish club !

It was so momentus because at that time we could mostly only watch English games on tv. The first game that I can ever remember watching was West Ham Utd verses Munich 1860. So having a Scottish team win the European Cup in such style against an Italian super club like Inter-Milan was mind boggling for a young kid like me at the time.

I had been aware of the club, having a stack of collected Charles Buchan football monthlies in my bedroom that I treasured. These magazines were a trove of information and photos of teams and players of that period, Celtic included. I would get them every month from the local newsagent, but they would be 2 months behind the current edition at that time in Britain.Football Monthly was also a great football magazine. Reading them gave you the ability to dream of a career in football also and it has become for me, a life long obsessive love for the game.

 

Hopefully the same team as against Hearts, to build momentum and cohesion moving towards The Rangers game.

First time getting over this season can't wait

 

threw away 2 points - looking at the table now they are like gold dust - ajeti blazed it over from 50cm out
be clinical - first goal early will stop them playing two banks of 5 around the edge of the 18
should be ok - 3 points - no injuries and maybe start jullien or at least give him 45.

 

what has ralston done wrong?
big jullien not start?
forrest is off the pace and is going backwards terrible decisions on the ball

 

Ralston hasn't done anything wrong but I think Juranovic and Taylor are better players and in their natural positions. I also want to get a settled backline and not chop and change players during an important run of games for the sake of getting people game time.
Forrest's decision making was poor against Hearts but he was still getting into good areas and making things happen, even if the end product was frustrating. He was the only player I thought about swapping out but Abada can be just as frustrating. Both players are probably backups when we get everyone fit.

 

Do you think Taylor is a better LB than Ralston is a RB? Jura is better than Taylor at LB

 

6 nil to the good guys, were due to give some team a roasting.

 

Just sold their best player in Fuchs, and I think Mulgrew is out for this too.

Should be a convincing win.

 

I think Taylor and Juranovic are easily our best fullbacks and would never move Juranovic to accommodate Ralston, other than through injury to Taylor.

 

Taylor is nowhere near as good as Ralston

 

Fuchs will be a blow to lose him. He was the one who should have been red carded in the first half last time we played them at Celtic Park yet wasn't and went on to have a man of the match performance for them defensively.

 

Wonder how this game will go in terms of will our players finally be protected against them. In the 2 games so far Dundee United have got away with 3 stonewall red cards.

 

A Neat 4-0 win

 

Difficult one selection wise as like of Hatate, Giak and O'Riley need game time to bed in but don't want to knacker them for the huns game.

Ideal is actually go 3-0 up within an hour and then ring the changes
