Motherwell v Celtic 29/9/12 3PM Sat KO

The game is not live on tv but the whole match will be replayed on BBC Alba at 5.30pm on Saturday evening.

 

Win here can kickstart the season

Forster
Matthews Wilson Mulgrew Izaguirre
Brown Ledley Wanyama Forrest
Hooper Lassad​

 

Will be a tough game, the mulleted fud McCall will have his usual array of hatchet men and hammer throwers fired up, likely in the aftermath of an all too familiar capitulation at Ibrox in mid week.

Factor in the utter incompetence of Willie Collum and you've got another obstacle to overcome. Expect the usual litany of fouls by Keith Lasley to be waved away.

The players will have to be on it from the first whistle, absolutely no room for complacency at all.

 

After watching their late capitulation to the Dons at the weekend there we really need to be ruthless inside the box, some shoddy goals were conceded because they couldn't clear their lines effectively. With luck in the Hibs game a win here and we are back top where we belong!

 

Odd that this one's not on tv.

 

BBC Alba half 5

 

I remember the 1-2 win for us at a similar time as last season when Hooper and Stokes scored and we got absolutely kicked of the park as well as being bullied. I expect the same on Saturday. With that in mind I would go:

1.Forster

2.Matthews - 4.Ambrose - 21.Mulgrew - 3.Izaguirre

8.Brown - 67.Wanyama - 16.Ledley

33.Kayal - 15.Commons

88.Hooper​

Would like to see Beram pushed forward a bit and let him express him self, he is our best midfielder on form. Drop Forrest and give Ambrose a run although I'm happy for Wilson to be playing there.

0-2 Celtic Hooper x1 Kayal x1

 

Also a good old fashioned 3 pm kick off at a Celtic away day, the way it should be !

 

Can someone keep me updated with the scores please I can't make tonight as I am working

Cheers Lhads

 

Funny one this. Should possibly look to give the key players a rest before Moscow but at the same time players coming back from injuries need game time


............................Forster......................

Matthews.....Ambrose.....Mulgrew......Izaguirre

Broony.........Wanyama......Kayal........Ledley

with the same starting XI we can be flexible and shift to three at the back if needed

The last time Celtic played away from home on a Saturday at 3pm was in 2005.

Why would you even rest Hooper? He is just getting back in with the goals and a rest might * that up a would play him defo

---------------- Forster -----------
Matthews - Ambrose - Wilson - Izzy
----------- Brown - Wanyama ------
McGeouch ---- Commons ---- Mulgrew
--------------- Hooper -------------

 

Why rest Rogne for Moscow? Probably won't play over there.

 

Forster
Matthews, Mulgrew, Wilson, Emilio
Forrest, Wanyama, Ambrose, Commons
Hooper, Lassad.

Miku, Kayal and Ledley all to come on as subs.

 

My guess would be that we were originally due to play on the Sunday on a live tv match but the have had to move it back to the Saturday because we are playin spartak Moscow on the Tuesday at 5pm and there are already a couple live games on the Saturday!

Confident about this now. We've played well over the last 3 games or so and now we've got Ledley and Kayal back, that's a huge boost.

 

Forster,
Matthews, Wilson, Mulgrew, Iza
Brown, Wanyama, Ambrose, Commons
Miku, Hooper

That is a * strong midfield right there. And that is with Kayal still to be involved (likely after the hour played yesterday,) Samaras (apparently almost there in terms of fitness,) Forrest (prefer him at CP with a bigger ground,) and Ledley (less likely to be fit.)

Jesus. Strength in depth when everyone is fit,
