    Now, I know there's this whole 'devaluing the league' debate, but with Celtic's biggest game of the season coming up - a must and should win against FC Haribo - is anyone else of the persuasion that the average age of our team v ICT should be about 18? Maybe with a few old heads (like for example, Virgil or McGregor*)

    *he's an old head now because he sits in well with the big bhoys. Best player on the park last night.

    No. the lads need game time to get to know the system/how each other play in it, especially the new recruits.

    think we should rest a good few but dont think we should stick a youth team out theres plenty of deadwood there we can play against inverness.

    Think there's probably a few players that need rested and a few players that should get a run out.

    I want to see Pukki playing, show us what he's got and show us he deserves to be in this Celtic team.

    We have enough to rotate; bring in the likes of Efe, Henderson, Commons, Griffiths, Pukki, et al.

    Absolutely not. We need momentum. If players are tired then give them first 60 or last 30 minutes.

    Its the start of the season and the players need game time, and also time to gel. We would also likely get gubbed. Commons would end up about 30 stone eating junk food and playing fifa. No * way would i start that trend.

    wouldn't bring a whole team in full of youths but I would like to see maybe 2 youngsters ( Henderson/Fridjonnson, for example) along with some who struggle to get into the team.

    Nope. He'll prob bring Commons back. I would also start Griffiths. He might rest Lustig again I suppose

    If Matthews is still injured then resting Lustig is a must. Don't want both out for the second leg.
