Looks like Ki will get a game. Ledley will have to cover left back because Emilio and Mulgrew are both out. Kayal has also picked up an injury.

Predicted team:

Forster
Cha Maj Loovens Ledley
Juarez Brown Ki Maloney
Stokes Hooper

I hate the 4-4-2 but it looks like Lenny is sticking by it now.

 

why does it look like ki is getting a game?

 

Team news from the BBC:

Celtic manager Neil Lennon will be without six injured players for the visit of Hamilton Accies.
Charlie Mulgrew, Emilio Izaguirre, Paddy McCourt, James Forrest, Thomas Rogne and Beram Kayal all miss out. Defender Jos Hooiveld returns.
Hamilton have an unchanged squad, with midfielder and captain Alex Neil still working his way back to fitness following hip surgery.
James Gibson remains a long-term absentee with a serious knee injury.

 

This is the team news mate, looks like a space has opened up for him

cheers

 

Just shows how strong our midfield is that we can lose 2 players from the central area and still have very high quality replacements.

Do you not think it would be good with a back 3 and Juarez and Izaguire as wing backs

That would be great

 

Agree but not for Accies at Parkhead as they will probably play 8-1-1

fukk! That makes thing intresting?! Well then:

...............forster
.cha....glenda....maj...ledley
...........brown....ki
..juarez..................maloney
........hooper....stokes

Seeing as Ledley has to move back, I would go all out attack and try and get Hamilton on the back foot As Soon As Possible. Playing juarez and maloney a tad up allowing them to get more forward which they both like. With Brown really helping out with the defence and let Ki spray the ball about forward .

 

That's a very interesting idea. I never thought of using Juarez as a proper wing back so he could use his energy to join in attacks whilst knowing there was a 3-man defence covering in behind, same goes for Izaguirre. To be honest, I would prefer Juarez in a midfield 3 but this formation really appeals to me because it allows a strong 3-man midfield in the middle of the park, plenty of width, as well as the 2 strikers up top.

Something like this maybe? (not tomorrow, when we have a fully fit squad)
