    "Although Celts new signing Rabiu Ibrahim has received work permit, he will not feature on Sun due to paperwork details not being finalised"

    This is from Matt McGlone's Twitter. Haven't seen any confirmation anywhere else though.

    Anything but the strongest possible squad would be a gamble. Psychologically, we need a convincing win, so Kris, Glenn, Mikael or Dylan should only get a second half chance.

    skysports are saying the same thing. saying it is due to 'red tape'.

    That's a pity about Rabiu's red tape affair....would've liked to have see him get 20mins if all was going well.

    I'd give some of the youth a chance, play Commons from the start, play Keatings, play Lustig, play McGeouch.

    We should have enough to pump Falkirk. That's what a squad is for.

    Falkirk are a first division side. Right up for it or not they do not have the quality to beat us. If you play your best 11 every game you end up with burnout, injuries and fatigue. What's the point in signing players to never play them? How do youngsters ever break through without games like this?

    I'm not suggesting we play the development squad, but what is the harm in playing maybe five fringe players and having guys like Hooper, Matthews and Ledley on the bench. We want to be able to call on them in games we need them.

    Disagree mate, against lower teams like Falkirk they will jump at the chance at playing a team with 4 or 5 youngsters, bully there way through the game,

    Key thing against these teams are total athletes i.e Cha, Hooper, Wanyama to boss them and for them to not stand a chance... would love too see McGeoch and McCourt get a start though but not any more fringe players than that

    Well, I'm fired up from a thread over, so ... I hope they beat 'em by 124 goals.

    ... and Γιώργος Σαμαράς still doesn't score.

    This is a semi final, Lenny must play his strongest eleven regardless of the opposition.

    Put it this way if Lenny put out say 4 or 5 fringe players and we got beat can you imagine the backlash from the majority of the support. Not only that the confidence of the team could suffer and that's too big a risk to take.

    At most we might see one or two changes but nothing drastic.

    Strongest team available, get the job done then bring on some
    Youngsters.
    Too many people think were entitled to win here. It's direspectful and normally comes back to bite us on the *.

    Strongest team possible,pump the absolute * out of em,keep the run of wins going,a step closer to our first silverwear...the youngsters will get their chance when the time is right. NO mercy for anyone anymore last season was too painful.
