Celtic vs St Mirren (Sun 2nd Feb. 3pm k.o....not on tv)

Our other rearranged match is this Sunday vs St Mirren at Celtic Park. Not on tv so links again for this.
2nd match in our four home games in a row (Killie, this, Aberdeen SC, and St Johnstone).

Who's going to start? Will Stokes just be automatically back in the first 11? Balde to start?

I think it'll be another skelping on the cards with another clean sheet. Possibly 4/5-0.

 

£5 on 5-0

4-0 Celtic. We really need a left winger. I'd give Boerrigter a run out if he's fit.

 

Johansen and Balde should start, weak opposition so hopefully they get some joy.

Balde

 

No way you can drop Ledley after his game last night, that was one of the performances of the season.

 

Where would you start him then? On the left?

 

I'd expect the same starters as Wednesday

The clean sheet record causes a lot of problems in picking the team as you want to keep it going but also want to see attacking players.

Bobo I want to see starting but Pukki is better than him and if you want to start the two then you can't really play both Forrest and Commons because you need Brown, Ledley and Mulgrew to help keep the clean sheets.

Id just play the same team again. Bringing Bobo on the last 25 minutes.

Only other option is to play 3 at the back

Personally would only make one change from last night and that would be Balde for Pukki. Even at that Balde might just be better just now for the last 20-30 mins.
Everyone last night was outstanding, some more than others. But if any change was to be made it would be Balde for Pukki.

 

same team as last night this one is not on TV.

Shame on Mulgrew right enough.

 

Performances have been getting so much better recently, I'm starting to really enjoy watching Celtic play again. Between the game at Fir Park and the tour of Turkey no-one except Commons was turning up, and we seemed content to grab an early goal and then just see out the game. Things are really starting to click now though, there seems to be a real hunger and a desire to actually win in style rather than just chalking up the wins and clean sheets.

Balde Pukki​

I know it's harsh to leave out Mulgrew, but I thought Balde and Pukki both looked excellent yesterday and it'd be nice to see them play together. I think they'd compliment each other well, Pukki's the sort of striker who really needs that sort of target man to play off.

 

I love when the games come fast and furious.

St. Mirren are on the backslide.

This'll be a * cakewalk.

Hopefully Johansen and Baldé start.

6-0.

 

Same 11 for me with the same changes..

 

Same eleven and forget that Saint Mirren are on any slide we will have to be
very close to our best to get anything . We have been playing at that level
since the squad had their break in the sun , the break really did them good .

 

I personally wouldn't change much from last night's line up if anything at all but if we're trying something different I'd start with:

Forster

Ambrose
Van Dijk
Mulgrew

Forrest
Brown
Johansen
Ledley
Izaguirre

Pukki

Subs: Zaluska, Fisher, Fraser, Biton, Boerrigter, Samaras, Balde

Not a big fan of 3-5-2 but could work well with James and Izzy bombing down the flanks.

 

Is this on tv
