    Lennon might start him otherwise we could be going into a game v the huns with a back four with zero experience of playing in this game. That is not good, not good at all.

    I'd go

    Forster
    El Hamed
    Julien
    Ajer if fit, Jozo if fit to replace
    New Lb

    Bitton. Sitting in front of the defence
    McGregor
    Christie
    Forrest
    Edourd coming from the left
    Bayo

    Fortune favours the brave.

    Forster
    X Jullien X X
    Christie Ntcham McGregor
    Forrest Edouard Johnston

    Defence is a complete guess at this point. No idea who will be fit.

    If and it's a big if we don't sign anyone before Sunday....

    We could go

    Bauer
    Jullien
    Simunovic
    Elhamed

    Elhamed has played left back plenty. Bauer has as well by all account's. Just makes us a bit more solid down that side..

    Simunovic has told the Celtic TV mob he should be fine for Sunday so he'll probably go in with Ajer out..

    I'd play elmad , Julien, Simo, Boli at the back the rest of the team picks itself ...buzzing for this already think we'll do them but no crazy runs leaving us short at the back

    Watched their game as well as ours. Feeling more confident of a win now.

    Me too. They were camped in their own half for most of the game. If we can play the kind of football that saw Forrest & Eddie link up for our first tonight we'll sweep them aside no problem.

    Just need to be careful on the counter. Brown needs to be on top form for this game.

    Assuming even if everyone was fit and able, what's the betting Lennon still puts McGregor at LB.

    Just dont go into this trying to be all clever and cute with team selections, * stick with what has been working and go into this knowing it's got us a 6-1win against Swedish champs along with regular big wins domestically so confidence in our own abilities shouldn't be an issue.

    Cant see us keeping a clean considering how we are defending atm but going forward we look very dangerous so should outscore them atleast. Just hope if eddy is fit that he doesn't pull up with cramp or hamstring early on.

    Broony has to play, he's the only midfielder with steel.

    As said above I'm worried about what nick our defence will be in, * going in with 3 or maybe even 4 new faces.

    All about the collective
    Brown will get ran over the top of if they come at us like the last 2 games there, that is a certainty unless we are completely on song middle to front. But he almost has to play the defence is that *.

    Think the game hinges on our makeshift defence rising to the occasion. Our far superior attack will perform if theres a platform to build on from the back. They * will be solid and nothing more all over the park.

    Hayes is a small left winger and not the greatest left winger who hasn’t kicked a ball this season - playing him at left back on Sunday would be on par with mcgregor

    Forster
    Elhamed Jullien Ajer Bolingoli
    McGregor
    Forrest Ntcham Christie Johnston
    Edouard

    We'll * pump these * if we line up like that. I hope Brown doesn't start. If Ajer and Jozo are both out, start Bauer and shift Elhamed into the centre. Bitton if Elhamed is out too.

    We have lots of options for this. I think biton played really well last night and I'd consider him before jozo. Rangers 2 centrehalfs are slow so I'd even consider bayo up top with Eduard playing off him and Christie left to track tavernier who will get forward and when it breaks down Christie has space to open them up for fun.maybe unfair on Mikey but I'd leave him on the bench for this.

    3-0 to us I reckon, but we need to mix it up a bit and play them at their own game.
