    Aye, just wonder if TM sees Zhi as a central midfielder. I don't see why not.

    I actually thought he was a centre back when we signed him for some reason. Don't know why. I might be making an early judgement but Zhi does seem to be a versatile player.

    McCourt or McGinn to start tomorrow?

    With Maloney injured for tomorrow, who do people want to see given the nod in his place?

    McCourt his ability to run with the ball and score will put him over McGinn.

    McCourt. We need someone who can work a bit of magic from nothing right now, and McCourt fits the bill perfectly. Be it through fancy footwork or making space by dragging 3 markers out of position, he can make a difference.

    McGinn is a good player but McCourt really has something special in his boots and now is the time for results more than bleeding youngsters.

    Thing is, as much as i like mcgeady & maloney, mccourt has been far more affective for us in the part few games. If mcgeady could just play an early ball instead of running into trouble & playing for himself we'd have far more goal scoring oppertunities, maloney's form has took a major dip, can you all remember what he was like when he first arrived back from villa? *, he was immense!

    McGinn for me to be replaced by McCourt after 60 mins. I actually think McGinn has the dribbling ability to cause real problems over the whole 90 minutes. The 30 or so minutes McCourt gets will be enough time for him to pull out his one or two moments of genius while he's still fresh.

    I'd agree with this, think McGinn would do alot more back tracking than McCourt as he appears to have the fitness!

    Ye he was great when he first came back but i think the reason for his dip in form has got more to do with the team not playing well, McGeady has suffered the same dip in form! You say that McCourt has been more effective but at the end of the day Maloney still remains our 2nd top scorer in the league and McGeady is only 1 goal behind him so I think they have chipped in with their fair share of goals as well as back tracking and helping out the full backs which won't come naturally to them!

    Of course I'll go, but I can't even pretend to be pumped up for this one. Kevin Kyle will batter Bill and Ben at the back. We'll sneak it by a McDonald deflected tap in.​

    Yeah should of mentioned McGinn looks good tracking back and I've been impressed with his end product.

    I think we have to get back to the 4-4-2 system and keep it until the end of the season, as I don't think the 4-5-1 or 4-1-4-1 are working for us.

    4-4-2 is the Celtic way, and the manager should make up his mind
    to choose a system and stick to it, otherwise the players won't know if they are coming or going.
