St Johnstone vs CELTIC. Boxing Day - 3pm KO. Sky Sports 1

I think Lenny will make a couple of changes to the team that beat Hearts on Saturday. Forrest will come into the team in place of Biton and I think Stokes or Pukki will be dropped for Sammy. Although I would like a forward line of Balde and Atajic, just to try something different.

 

Charlie's out. I'd start Henderson in his place.

 

"Celtic full-back Adam Matthews has recovered from a fever and Tom Rogic will train on Tuesday after recovering from a calf complaint.
But Charlie Mulgrew, Derk Boerrigter, Mikael Lustig, Beram Kayal and Steven Mouyokolo remain out."

 

Start Biton on Charlie's place then.

 

Hahaha pukki run riot! Don't talk dug *

 

Glad to see the farce that was the flag ban finally sorted. In a way I suspect the whole furor might actually help to create a good atmosphere at the game. Hopefully the team can follow suit and produce a quality performance. I suspect we will see the same line up as against the diet huns other then maybe Matthews in for Fisher and Forrest in for Biton.

 

Still haven't seen the Hearts game, and this one does not appeal to me, either. The season has been ruined, as far as I am concerned.

 

I'm looking forward to seeing some football actually (I missed the Hearts game as well). Past few weeks have been draining.

We know he likes to change formations a lot so I fancy this one,he hinted balde will get game time away and I'd like to see it here and Forrest to hopefully carry on where he left off at the weekend.

Strong team..

 

Forgot that moyoulkolo was still here.
Injury prone.

 

I expect this to be a tough game against St Johnstone. I wouldn't mind seeing Balde play up front with Stokes because their defenders will try and use their physical strength and Balde could give us a presence that we might need during the match.

 

I'd go with Stokes and Balde to start this one.

Bring Pukki on nearer the end if need be.

 

Would love to see a Stokes Balde partnership.

 

Should be sticking with a similar team that did so well against Motherwell and Hearts in the cup.

Should be a decent performance, we tend to do better away, where teams are more expansive and there's more of an atmosphere, than at a dead Celtic park against a team camped entirely in their own penalty box.

Sell Sammy, Ledley and Brown for the highest bid... No matter what that is.

 

Why would we sell Brown?

 

He takes too much wages for what he give back and like the others mentioned will most likely leave on a free at the end of his contact.
I'd like us to be much more ruthless in selling senior players, we seldom get decent money.
We don't need Brown for spfl on 20k and he didn't exactly help us in CL.... sell

 

Pish. Two years ago I may have agreed. But brown has really Improved and the team suffers when he's not playing. Aye he * up in the CL this season but he's still a good player and captain

 

100% wrong wrong wrong

 

I'd be glad to see us move on the players who have proved they can't or won't learn, Brown and Sammy are in that bill.
I like both, but we don't need them in the spfl and they didn't help us in Europe.. even though they are senior players and top earners.
Punt, before they leave for free.... Because they will!
Just my opinion and wish, will never happen
