    The only thing that’s worrying me is our back 3 up against their formation of 4-4-2. Last game against them, we were exploited a few times in the first half down the wings and we couldn’t counter the overlapping of their full-back and winger. As soon as they breach one of our CBs out wide, it just creates a massive gap in our defence to which we seen vulnerable.

    I think we’ll win no bother. Need to start faster and more confident than we did in the last game. Be interesting to see if he goes with Roberts or Sinclair. Moreover, Griffiths made a sudden impact from the bench whereas Dembele had an average game but the big man thrives on these games. Bain should keep his spot.

    1-3 Celtic

    3 at the back takes Forrest’s attacking threat out the game though, he’ll be too defensive in the game, pinned back. There’s no way he’ll play Roberts at RWB, and I doubt he’ll start both on the same side.
    Dembele will start, just on his scoring record alone against the Huns, and the fact they’re scared shitless of him. I agree, Bain should start.

    The only thing that's worrying me about this game is overdoing it in the pub celebrating after and missing work on Monday.

    If the moussa gets a couple of goals he will have scored more against the huns himself than their entire team has against us since hes been here :56:

    Has he got 6 against them?

    I didn’t think they’d scored that many against us.

    1 more required if we get a clean sheet.

    Moussa Dehunskelper 6 - 6 Tribute Act.

    Not bad considering he never played in 1 game and was subbed on with 10 mins to go in the other.

    I am fearful of the Madden factor.

    We should be good enough, regardless of the referee.

    We should be able to take him out the equation but if there's not much in the game then expect all the decisions to go 1 way eg. Clint Hill taking out Griffiths from behind in the 1-1 game last year...no penalty

    I sit right at the goals js lower and couldnt beleive he never awarded the penalty, astonishing decision.

    You’d think he was a fan of the huns or something.

    After watching our last 2 games and being underwhelmed by our performances in breaking down the opposition it took me back to the semi final against them when Ronnie Diela was manager and most of us knew if the team turned up we would have nothing to worry about and we seen them play their best while our players didn't seem up for it they couldn't beat us so it went to penalties and we blew it. Upside we got Brendan Rodgers as manager and haven't looked back since lets hope that the team come out all guns blazing and blow them away and out them firmly back in their box

    I hope Griff starts tbh.
    And this, just like a gnat's chuff, is going to be tight.
