    Ahead of Elyounoussi if he makes it?

    I think both are more than capable.

    They'll both terrorise the huns defence, as will Jamesy.

    They are...just think the way Mikey's been playing we could do with him on the pitch from the start.Whatever the case I'm sure Lennon will make the right decisions - so confident going into this personally.

    I'd go with Johnston as well, Elyounoussi could be rusty hes not played in about a month? he's also a wee stocky player who might lose a yard of pace when unfit. Although the way he drifts about and his runs into the box for through balls and cut backs again would have Goldson and Helander in turmoil so it doesn't matter too much. Johnston would be the safer option for me though as we know he is fit and sharp and seems to be buzzing just now and for the last abut 8/9 month he's ran amok every time hes been on the park near enough.

    Ntcham didn't do enough yesterday to start him. He actually let us down I thought and could have been subbed at HT for Johnston as we weren't getting forward enough through the middle, Taylor was just about singlehandedly doing all our attacking. I think we need Christie in the middle as well for defensive legs, Ntcham is quite poor defensively and slow to react and would put extra pressure on Brown and McGregor.

    It's such a luxury to have quality players in contention to start, something we badly lacked last season was options. Keeps everyone hungry and on form..

    Either one of Mo or Mikey will cause havoc off the bench, same goes for Ntcham, Rogic, Griff.

    Just think Elyounoussi and Johnston have different styles, which suits us just fine. Elyounoussi is a bit more physical and Johnston has a little more pace. Both are capable of cutting in and terrorizing whatever backline Slippy puts forward.

    I can hardly wait to see us tear up their captain, Christie harass them in the middle of the park, and Jamesy back in form and pressing them on the right. :84:

    Prefer him playing on the right; it suits him better there.

    This is beauty of the situation. Yes, they have a tough run of matches but we don’t need to pay any attention to this. We win all our games till end of year,(and it’s highly achievable), then we go into The new year with an 8 pts lead minimum. We think about ourselves and not them. Let’s start with Sunday.

    All of their attacking comes down the wings.

    Us playing two attack-minded full backs is madness. If Boli is fit he should be on the left for his pace v Tav-oh-dear and Bauer looks more than enough physically capable to clatter Ryan Bent.

    Let Mikey loose on the left, Forrest on the right and Christie drivi g through the middle with Brown and Ntcham being the bash brothers behind them.

    Eddy up front completely outclassing them.

    Thinking about it now, my optimism has went higher.

    I want to see these * annihilated. Play them off the park. A good horsing will do more than just win our first trophy of the season, it will * sicken them for the league.

    Their "battle fever" is more of a damp and clammy forehead after last night. December was going to be the month of tests for them and they failed the very first one.

    Beating them on Sunday will derail their whole season but if we play how we have been we can break them completely. Wheels flying off everywhere. Caught a bit of their game last night - our attack will have a field day. Elyounoussi v Tavernier will be a pumping of * hub proportions.

    Get it done, Celtic. Finish them off.

    The biggest thing in our favour is our mentality. Our never say die attitude. Our match against Hamilton is a fine example of that. We played poorly. Allowed Hamilton to equalise on the 90th minute, only for us to score the winner deep in injury time.

    If we score early, we should hopefully go on and win our first piece of silverware of this season. If we fall behind.... Hopefully that mentality I just spoke of kicks in, and we win our first piece of silverware of this season :D
