Scottish media believe Christmas has come early this week, there loving it. After the inquest it's time to get behind the Bhoys + give them 100% backing tomorrow, anything else is playing into their hands. A win will re-install some confidence and then on Tuesday anythings possible.

Motherwell v Celtic

Celtic manager Gordon Strachan is expected to make changes after the midweek Champions League thrashing.
Young Stephen McManus is set to replace Bobo Balde in defence, Shaun Maloney will start up front and Artur Boruc replaces David Marshall in goal.

Motherwell's Jim Hamilton and Scott McDonald are doubtful, fellow forwards David Clarkson and Richie Foran banned. Loan signing Alan McCormack comes in.

Defender Martyn Corrigan and midfielder Kevin McBride are both out injured.

Looks like Bobo will be dropped then, about time. I can see us beating them tomorrow, 3-0. The players will be more eager than ever to show Strachan what they are made of.

some news from shitanta

Celtic boss Gordon Strachan has quipped that he doesn't care about how is players after feeling after the 5-0 thumping by Artmedia - they just have to get on with the job of winning their opening SPL game.

The Hoops face Motherwell in an early kick off on Saturday, with many players having a point or two to prove - as well as their boss.

He said: "This freak result won't stop our vision. I don't think the memories will ever go away but I am not going to start wielding the axe.

"If I started wielding the axe it would be me and the tea lady in the side. Everybody takes the blame for this result and we have to try to respond.

"I don't care how the players feel. Some are silent, some are depressed, but I don't care how they get through it. We have to put it right tomorrow.

"Some of the wrongs on Wednesday cannot be erased but we have to stay focussed."

Things are getting worse before they get better for Strachan, who will be without Chris Sutton for four weeks of action, starting against Motherwell.

The English international clashed heads with Neil Lennon in the humiliating 5-0 loss against Artmedia and had to cry off with a fractured cheekbone that will ultimately require an operation.

This is a huge game for the Hoops and Strachan in particular. Apart from Sutton, he has a full squad to pick from, though Shunsuke Nakamura won't play.

Motherwell manager Terry Butcher has worries about strikers Jim Hamilton and Scott McDonald, both of whom are doubts. Former Shelbourne frontman Richie Foran - not for the first time in his career - is suspended, as is yet another frontman, David Clarkson.

Defender Martyn Corrigan and midfielder Kevin McBride are definitely out with knee injuries, so Motherwell's resources are asked a serious question.

Motherwell (from): Marshall, Hammell, Kerr, Craigan, McDonald, Leitch, O'Donnell, Paterson, G Smith, Hamilton, Quinn, Wright, Fagan, Kinniburgh, Keogh, Fitzpatrick, D Smith, Connolly.

I take it he's not the sympathetic type then.

I think we need to be realistic. Fir Park holds awful memories for the nucleus of the team, it's where an era ended and that was the MON era. Wednesday's performance saw absolutely no guidance from Celtic's 'Big' players. Who are the new bhoys to look for for leadership? Lennon as captain was a joke. No vocals, no motivation. The thing that gets me though was there was no * tackles. If you are being outplayed and outclassed, passion and pride result in you hacking players down coz that's better than nothing. But there wasn't even that. They didn't seem to care and I was really dispointed with Petrov, Lennnon, Thomson and Hartson. Tomorrow's game is one more chance for them. Like Stein said, 'The Celtic shirt does not shrink to fit inferior players.' I am faithful through and through for players who will sweat blood for the jersey. Hopefully tomorrow will highlight exactly who they are.

Absolutely, Strachan could not have had a worse start. What's important now is to start this season with a clean slate and forget the horrors of our last two competitive games. We need to get behind the new manager and new players and give them a chance. Sacking managers mid season has never worked well at Parkhead.
Strachan just needs to get under the skin of what it means to be involved with the club. This is not just another stop gap job to keep some also ran team in English premier, this is * CELTIC FC!
I want to see players sreaming in the tunnel prior to kick off, i wanna see every bhoy fan at this PM's game on their feet throughout the game.
I predict a * demolition at Fir Park, three or four nil to the hoops!

Can You Hear The Rangers Sing...usually means were beating them

Need to agree strongly with my fellow Tim above,I think Motherwell are gonny be on the recieving end of a lot of pent up anger and a need to show the Strachan and the fans they can still do it,3 or 4 goal win by the Celts today,if not and the unthinkable happens Strachans for the chop....

Starting 11 of Celtic:
Marshall, Telfer, Varga, McManus, Camara, Lennon, Thompson, Petrov, McGeady, Hartson, Maloney

Boruc (on a bench), Zurawski injured (won't play today)
Polish commentators said that Strachan 'killed' his players on Wednesday giving them 2 hours of hard workout in the morning.

1:0 Hartson 14' (pass from Thompson)

1:1 Kerr 20' (Marshall had no chance)
Our defence still sucks donkey balls.
Goalie of Motherwell seems to be an old old man.
Does anyone know how old he is?
