    Right, onwards & upwards.

    After dropping points midweek I imagine there'll be a few changes made, especially with the Malmo game midweek.

    I'm guessing that Commons is out, so I'll go for;

    Gordon
    Janko Boyata Van Dijk Izzy
    Mulgrew Johansen
    Forrest Rogic GMS
    Griffiths


    I'd have wagered on a lesser team being put out had we strolled past Killie, but seeing as we didn't I think Deila will rest Bitton, and I think GMS will either start the game and play 60 odd minutes, or will be brought on at the 60 minute mark for some game time depending on how we're doing.

    I'd also bring Boyata back into the side to help him prepare for Malmo. The more time he gets playing alongside Virgil before that game the better.

    Nope, he was rested as far as I know. I'd give him another day off just to make sure he's good to go on Wednesday, plus it gives Janko another game to gel with the side.

    If Brown is out:

    Gordon

    Janko Boyata Van Dijk Izzy

    Armstrong Mulgrew Johansen

    Forrest

    Griffiths Stokes

    Scepovic instead of Stokes because Deila doesn't want to play him for some reason. If Broony is in move back to the normal 4231

    I think Deila will play:

    Gordon

    Lustig Boyata Van Dijk Mulgrew

    Brown Bitton

    GMS Johansen Forrest

    Griffiths

    With Armstrong in Johansens position, Johansen moving further back if Brown can't make it.

    Man, I don't know if I'd risk Brown at the weekend. On the one hand we're not the same team without him, but on the other I'd rather we weren't the same team against Inverness than Malmo!

    The injury wasn't serious at all, he was rested because he was in pain rather than because he couldn't play somI think he'd be fit. Usually takes Broony a game to get back into the swing of things, so I would give him this one.

    If he's still a bit * though don't play him at all.

    Maybe even give him an hour or so, then bring him off. He's the one guy we absolutely need for midweek.

    Gordon

    Janko
    Van Dijk
    Mulgrew
    Tierney

    Henderson
    Bitton

    Forrest
    Rogic
    McGregor

    Griffiths

    Think I would rest GMS for this one as he looked a bit burnt out against Killie.
    Also giving Johansen a break but keeping Bitton in because I think he is too important a player in the midfield to leave out.
    Ambrose out and Mulgrew in at CB for me.
    Tierney instead of Izaguirre.

    I'd put young tierney in at left back. Put izzy in reserves he deserves it

    Want them to prove a point and go out and pump these *.

    Gordon
    Janko Boyata Virgil Izzy
    Brown/Henderson Bitton
    McGregor Johansen GMS
    Griffiths

    If Brown isn't 100% then wouldn't risk him from the start, just the last 30mins to get him going, Forrest will be rested as will Lustig no doubt.

    Inverness have been crap this season, but then so had Kilmarnock until midweek..

    Would go with roughly the same team as mid week, cept with Boyata in for Ambrose.

    Wonder if Mulgrew will be in Deilas thoughts at Left back as well for mid week..

    Think Mulgrew would more be in his plans for the away leg at left back if honest.

    Wednesday means so much for club and supporters and I don't just mean financially, team tomo should be one with absolute minimum risks as league will more than take care of itself......as per last season.

    Would play something near out strongest team for 60mins but wth Armstrong and GMS starting to see if they can stake a claim for Wed,as they wouldn't be in our best 11 at the moment.

    Gordon

    Lustig Boyata Virgil Izzy

    Bitton Borwn

    GMS Johansen Armstrong

    Griffiths​


    Janko, Rogic and Allan :86: replacing Lustig, Brown & Johansen..

    The more I think about it the more I think we should play Bailly in this game rather than Gordon. There's really no need to take a risk with him before these two games against Malmo.
