    this is the biggest game for celtic this season i would settle for a draw as long as celtic do not loose this game i will be happy i will predict a 2-2 draw hope i am wrong and its 3-1 (<-----you get good odds for this scoreline btw 16/1)

    have we not learnt that the stokes - hooper combination is a winner?? seriously i will be confused if we dont play 4-4-2. id make us look like:

    ------------Forster
    Wilson-----Mulgrew----Maj-----Izzy
    ?????-----Brown----Kayal-----Commons
    ---------Stokes----Hooper--------

    with right wing being Ljunberg/Paddy/mcginn/maloney/juarez. this is the combination that has been winning us the other games, so why change a formula that isnt broken. sure sammy is good on his day, but stokes hooper has been far more effective and consistent imo.

    Depends which Celtic team turn up. If it's the one from the 3-0 game and previous games, then this should be a stroll in the park. If it's the one from between the 2-0 game against Motherwell and the recent Hibs game, then it should be very difficult. I'm taking solice in the fact that the huns have been pure * lately, and Tuesday will be the first time they've taken on decent opposition in a while (apart from their 3-2 defeat). Looking for a big performance against Killie to get us up for this one, if we get that and beat them by a good few goals, and add that to a Dundee UTD win then we should win by a few goals. I'd take a draw any day though, as long as we win on Weds.

    That doesn't sound good, if Ledleys out then Ki will play with Kayal. I can't see Brown playing CM but hey who knows.

    Only few men know the formation, selection and the tactics for Sunday and thats the management team.

    was just thinking if ledleys out what about bringing brown in the middle and putting cha on the right it gives us a balance as he can defend and attack. i think going with ljunberg or maloney is leving wilson a bit exposed.

    If Ledley is available:

    ---------------------Forster

    Wilson-----Majstorovic-----Mulgrew-----Izaguirre


    Brown-----Kayal------------Ledley------Commons


    -----------Hooper----------Stokes


    If Ledley is out:

    --------------------Forster

    Wilson-----Majstorovic-----Mulgrew-----Izaguirre


    Juarez-----Brown-----------Kayal-------Maloney


    ---------------------Commons


    ---------------------Samaras

    There can not be any doubt that Hooper and Stokes should be our two main strikers now. Surely we can put this * about Sammy getting the nod. Hooper and Stokes have been absolutely sensational all season and with Commons the third part of the Holy Trinity we should be able to put their team under plenty of pressure on Sunday.

    Defence will probably be same as tonight and midfield as well, unless Ledley is fit, in which case Forrest will drop out.

    Im sure Lennon knows this now.

    Hopefully Ledley makes it, Brown hasn't looked good in CM tonight imo

    He has done okay, but agree, would prefer Ledley in the middle Sunday and Brown back out wide.

    With Ledley out I was slightly worried about Brown playing in the middle, I've never really rated him there and tonight didn't convince me otherwise, and on top of that I dont really like the idea of playing two full-on wingers at the weekend.

    Think Ki should replace Ledley and Brown stays on the right, or play them and Kayal as a central 3 and have Commons or Maloney in the hole.

    Ledley will not start CM and neither will Brown. Brown will start RM and Ki will end up cm. i hope juarez but
