SPFL Celtic V St.Mirren Saturday April 13 kick off 3PM Celtic Tv

Is Palma any good on the right? I can’t recall.

 

They will be going into overdrive with the appointments like this and expect at least one controversial decision going against us on Saturday.

 

Last 3/4 games the instant throw ins have reappeared, as well as earlier more direct balls into the box, been a major part of our upturn in form since second half at Fir Park.

Not quite the same obviously, but not waiting 10 seconds, then throwing the ball to a fullback to take a shy instead, who then takes his time ignoring 2/3 runs from guys losing their man before launching it dodgily to under pressure players hoping we do something with it

 

Anyone know when the post split fixtures will be announced?

 

Think it’s Monday or Tuesday, SSB said early next week fixtures concluded but weren’t certain. I imagine they’ll wait until Dundee Rangers is played next week though, so probably next Friday, if Dundee can get into the top 6 still by then. Not sure of results can rule them out on the weekend but it’s close enough to be up in the air still I think

 

Yeah I suppose it will have to wait until that games played I think. Hopefully them or county do us a turn against the Huns.

 

I’m absolutely convinced Dundee one will be 1-1, Dingwall is always a * to go to, somehow always an early kick off up there as well but they never take points, they’re a brave attempt team, never actually comes to * all though

 

I think dundee have a couple players still out though do they? Yeah cmere they’re all going to be tough games from now to the end of the season for us and the Huns, we just need to focus on ourselves doing the business tbh. A helping hand from one of the other sides would relieve a slight bit of pressure though

 

Hart
Aj CCV MAIK TAYLOR
MCGREGOR
ORILEY HATATE
KUHN KYOGO PALMA

Idah, bernardo, Iwata, Yang, forrest off the bench.

If maeda is out palma back in to try get up to speed, Mcgregor in from the start and I’d like to see Nawrocki tried alongside CCV although I think Brendan will persist with scales.

 

I read somewhere that whether Dundee make the top 6 or not would shape the home/away splits of other games. If they get top 6 then I think we can be home or away vs killie whereas if Dundee don't make it we will be away.

So id imagine they will have two sets of fixtures ready to publish next Thursday depending on Dundee result

 

Don’t think Palma would be ready to start, been out a decent length of time didnt make thr bench Sunday. Saying that Hatate was thrown straight in after longer and a bounce game. Hopefully Maeda’s fit if not and Palmas not ready for a start, Yang gets a chance at redemption

 

If they have the ability to give us Killie away, then we're getting Killie away unfortunately

 

We have got Killie away.

 

Yeah I getcha hopefully their match goes ahead against the Huns next week so we know the craic. Is their match against the Huns gonna be on a neutral pitch now?

 

Plan is to play at dens on Wednesday but if it's not playable not sure what they will do. I expect they will just get on with it

 

I had said same team but if we can’t get that due to Maeda being out then I would have the other 10 the same and consider playing Yang off the left. I know he was poor last week but the way he plays and the way St Mirren will sit in would suit him more and he will attract guys to the ball.

If Palma is fit right enough, I think he would link up well with Hatate. One of our best performances of the season was the first Killie at home and both played that game and scored. Then probably our best away performance of the season both played and we destroyed hearts at Tyncastle. Hatate was a post away from a goal but still got an assist and Palma got an assist.

It is mental to think due to injuries, that is the only times this season the two of them have played together other than 10 minutes vs Atletico before Hatate had to go off injured.

 

Hopefully it goes ahead on that pitch

 

Play 6 and win 6 games are

Killie away
St mirren home and away
Huns Home
Hearts home
Dundee/motherwell/hibs home

On paper you should see the 6 games as wins but having dropped

5 points killie
6 points hearts

Coupled with the officials we defo have the tougher run in. Huns will win 6 from 7 as the officials will make sure of it.

 

Brilliant watching mandron and ayunga randoll Welsh the mawra now!
