The Champions vs Rangers - 29/4/12 - 12.45pm

Assuming Rangers haven't gone bust by then its the final derby of the season, back to full strength for me, hopefully gub them and show them who the best team in Scotland is. I'd go for:

1.Forster

11.Cha 25.Rogne 21.Mulgrew 3.Izaguirre

8.Brown(c) 16.Ledley 67.Wanyama 15.Commons

9.Samaras 88.Hooper

Subs
24.Zaluska
10.Stokes
20.McCourt
23.Lustig
32.Watt
39.Blackman
46.McGeouch

Celtic 3-0 Rangers Joe Ledley, Charlie Mulgrew and Georgios Samaras


​

 

Who should we play up front? Watt a dilemma

 

Full strength side definitely needed.

Forster
Matthews:rogne::mulgrew:Izaguirre
:brown:Wanyama:ledley:Commons
:hooper:Stokes​

That team served us well last season, with the exception of Matthews and Wanyama, I think they'd do well next week.

 

We need to finish the season in style and wack the Rangers

Forster

Matthews Rogne Mulgrew Izzyguire

Brown Wanyama Ledley Samaras

Hooper Stokes

 

Forster
Matthews Rogne Mulgrew Izaguirre
Brown Wanyama Ledley Commons
Stokes Hooper

Subs

Zaluska
Cha
Blackman
McGeouch
McCourt
Samaras
Watt

This could be the last ever OF game, so we better win it :icon_mrgreen:
​

 

Izzy still doesn't look 100%. Got caught out a couple of times. May be a gamble worth taking though if he can get back to his best form.

 

Don't want to experiment on this one. Want three points and a GD of at least 2.

Forster
Matthews, Loovens, Rogne, Mulgrew
Brown, Wanyama, Ledley, Samaras
Stokes, Hooper
Subs: Zaluska, Cha, Izaguirre, McCourt, Commons, Brozek, Watt

If Loovens isn't ready, then move Rogne to RCB, Mulgrew to LCB, Izaguirre to LB and Blackman to the bench. Maybe swap McCourt or Commons for Ibrahim, McGeouch, or one of the Twardziks. Also, maybe swap Brozek for Bangura.

Could also move Samaras to FW, move Stokes to the bench, no Brozek, and get Commons as LMF. Then the extra sub spot could be used for Ibrahim, McGeouch, or one of the Twardziks.

And if Matthews isn't ready, put Cha as RB and Lustig on the bench.

 

Don't like 4-4-2's but it's our best attacking formation and we definitely need to play to our strengths and attack these *.

I'd go for



Mind you, the way Watt played in his 30 mins today we could always start him up alongside Hooper instead of Stokes :icon_mrgreen:

 

Don't think Matthews will be back if he is obviously I'd have him ahead of Cha

 

The Champions V The Cheats you mean

Zaluska
Wanyama Rogne Mulgrew
Brown McGeouch Ledley Twardzik
Ibrahim McCourt
Watt

Give them a showing up by starting 6 under 21s
​

 

I think he will. He had the mumps right before the Hearts SCSF and it's already been a week so I'd assume he's almost good now.

 

Been off since last weekend so he should hopefully be fit before next Sunday.

If not, then I'd have Lustig ahead of Cha for me. Cha's got pace but I think Lustig is better in the ball for me.

 

Got to win this. Broony needs to be CM.

Forster

Matthews Rogne Mulgrew Izzaguirre

Wanyama

McGeouch Brown Ledley Samaras

Hooper

Would hate the record books to reflect a Rangers win at Paradise in what is very probably the last old firm game as we recognise it now. We must go all out to win this comfortably.

 

Seven to ten days for mumps so Matthews should be fit alright for next Sunday. I'm a doctor, so I should know :icon_mrgreen:

 

Would actually be great to see Paddy against them next week, his vision and passing is untouchable in the SPL and if he runs at the hun cloggers there will be yellow cards galore.

 

rangers? you mean the scum!

 

I'd start Watt.

 

Get them pumped.
