[Official TC Thread] Celtic v Motherwell - Betfred Cup Final, 3pm Sunday 26th November, BT Sport 1

I know we've got the game v PSG this evening and it seen as poor etiquette on here but seen that Cadden * running his mouth about us in the papers.


------------------------------


"Chris Cadden feels Celtic have been built up too much and is confident Motherwell can be the team to knock them down.

Celtic are looking to extend their unbeaten domestic run to 65 matches in Sunday’s Betfred Cup final, but Motherwell wing-back Cadden is not overawed.

The Lanarkshire side comfortably beat Aberdeen, who finished second behind Celtic in every competition last season, in a 3-0 quarter-final win before securing their first cup win over a Rangers team for 56 years in the last four.

So Cadden is not going to pay too much respect to the champions ahead of the Hampden clash.

“I don’t know why everybody is building Celtic up to be unbelievable,” he said. “They are a good team, but it’s 11 men against 11 men at the end of the day. The game’s not played on paper, it’s played on the park. We will go out there with confidence to beat them.

“I think if we can go out and do what we did in the last few rounds against Aberdeen and Rangers, there’s no reason why we can’t beat them. Someone has got to beat them, so why not us?

“If you want to win the thing then you have got to beat everybody, but if we go on and win it, then I think the achievement would be unbelievable. To beat Aberdeen, Rangers and Celtic, the three top seeds, would be a brilliant achievement.”

------------------------

Can't wait to see his face when we make it 65 games unbeaten.

My prediction Celtic 3 Motherwell 1

 

I’m going to the game and will single him out for ridicule when we pump them.

 

So will I. A rousing chant of:

'You're not confident,
you're not confident,
you're not confident anymore!'

Will be in order. Hope I don't get lifted.

 

If we are truthful this is our important game this week, win this and we are 2 thirds of the way towards B2B trebles

 

We will win this at a canter. The size of the pitch and our style of football will be too much for them, even though they'll turn up with the hatchet-men mentality. That only works against diddy teams like the huns who can't play football.

4-0 to us.

 

They’ll play similar to St.Jonstone at Celtic Park the other month, use the long ball to try and keep us back and play off the second ball. They’ll also try and kick us off the pitch and no doubt be plenty elbows which is why we need Jozo back in to solidify our backline.

As long as we don’t drop to their level and keep the tempo high since their defence is pish.

 

Steady on, mate.

 

Exactly the type of attitude you'd want to hear from your players if you were taking on a team such as Celtic in a cup final.

Nothing wrong with that whatsoever.

 

there's a line you don't cross

 

Expect what we always get from them trying to kick us off the park and hitting lots off high balls up the park and into the box
