Inverness CT vs Celtic, 09/02/2013, 12pm

Final game before Juventus. Looking forward to this.

It's also a great chance for us to extend the gap between ourselves and Inverness even more, which will be very helpful if we can somehow get by Juventus and make it to the quarter finals.

It means we'll be able to rest more top players when on league duty and save them for any more potential European games.

Forster

Matthews Wilson Mulgrew Izaguirre

Forrest Wanyama Kayal Ledley

Hooper Watt​

Lenny says Forster will be back for this and he wants to give him a game before Juve next Tuesday, so I think he will start.

I've included Izzy in the team too, but I'm not sure if he will be fit. I guess we'll know closer to the game.

I'm saying 3-1 to the Celts

 

Can see us losing this one then beating juve haha

 

------------Forster-----------
Lustig--Wilson---Mulgrew--Izzy
----------Wanyama----------
-------Kayal-----Ledley------
Watt-------Stokes-----Forrest

10-0

 

I like us to rest whole first team with juv game coming up. * 3 points and let team fully focus on trying to beat juv and become first scottish team to qualify for quarter finals and extra 5 million it will bring. Its only silly 3 points compared to 5 million we get for beating juv.

So my team would be

Forster
Fisher rogne Gershon waters
Mcgeouch P. Twardwik Mccourt Watt
Lassad Stokes

lets c what reserve has to offer and keep first team fresh for biggest game in club history for few years

 

Lets just hope the snow stays away

 

im sure lenny said he was resting players for this

Forster
Lustig Rogne Gershon Izaguirre
McGeouch Kayal Ledley
Watt Lassad Stokes

Zaluska, Mulgrew, Wanyama, Brown, Commons, Rogic, Hooper

 

tbh i wouldnt be bothered if this game was called off because then all the players get a rest before Juve.

 

I'd be happy for him to rest most of the first 11. He mentioned giving the players a break so I expect to see at least 4 or 5 of the Juventus 11 on the bench. I'd rest at least 8. I don't want any of the Juve team playing 90 minutes.

 

Forster needs to get a run to get some match time before Juve.

 

Players will be getting rested anyway. Fringe players and back ups done well in Inverness earlier in the season :icon_mrgreen:

Can't see it though

:Lustig::Rogne::Wilson::Mulgrew:
:Forrest::Wanyama::Kayal::Commons:
:Hooper::Stokes:​

Really want to see Stokes starting this one, as I have done for the past couple of weeks. We've fed him back into the team a bit now, so I'd like to see him start. Not sure if Izzy and Sammy will make it, best not to risk them though. 3-0 Celtic.

 

Id definetly rest players. We cant afford to lose Lustig, Wanyama, Mulgrew, Brown or Hooper so id leave them all out.

Forster
Matthews Rogne Wilson Gershon
McGeouch Kayal Rogic Forrest
Stokes Watt

Forgot about Gershon and Rogic, id play them.
​

 

drop points nothing this is our biggest rivals in the league this year and managed by one of them so lets get them beat and widen gap.foster,gershon,mulgrew,wilson,mathews,commons,ledley,wanyama,brown,hooper,watt

 

rogic playing in behind miku would be a decent combo

 

Think it will be a much changed side from Raith with the Champions League in mind

:Forster:

:Lustig::Rogne::Gershon:

:Forrest::McGeouch::Kayal::Rogic:

:Watt::Stokes::Lassad:

 

Hopefully Watt gets a chance here again like earlier in the season.

 

:Forster:
:Matthews::Lustig::Wilson::Mulgrew:
:Forrest::Kayal::Wanyama:
:Rogic:
:Stokes::Watt:​

I'd like to see :Miku: get some game time.

 

Strongly doubt that Gershon or Rogic will start, no matter how much I would like to see them play.
