    A clean sheet as well as a win would be a big boost as we not had both yet this season.

    A resounding 5-0 win or the like would send out a message to the rest of Scottish football - 'This is not the Celtic of last season, you have been warned.' Our defence is of course still awful but we are capable of playing the majority of the game in their half.

    Really need to sort that back line out ASAP. We’ve been saying it for months/weeks and it’s still shocking!!!

    We have 4 goalkeepers
    Even if we put the 4 of them in goal together....we still wouldnt get a clean.sheet

    That was true when we had 3 goalkeepers too. I can't figure out if we are in a better or worse situation now!!!

    Don’t think McCarthy will start, imagine we’ll see him coming on 60 minutes in or so.

    Big game this as we need to gain some positive momentum after our last win. I think we can hammer them if we score an early goal.

    I'm sure Ange said Mcarthy will be reviewed after the weekend none the less I expect a solid 8-5 victory

    Zero chance of McCarthy starting when he's had no pre-season, prep games and we have our 2nd leg on Thursday. We need continuity.

    If we're 3 or 4 up with 20 mins to go then there's no harm in it.

    Quick start, tight at the back and take our chances, puh-lease.

    Have the same concerns.

    We're a team that sees 70, sometimes 80% of the ball and yet we lose goals to teams with only 20% of the ball.

    That just shouldn't be happening.

    Feels like we need to score 4 to be at ease.

    Anyway. 6-0.

    I would love to see us winning by a good few goals and keep clean a clean sheet however, I would be happy with a 1 - 0 win

    I'm looking forward to hearing the fans back at Paradise. Hopefully we see more improvements from the squad along with a win.

    I think the issue with this system seams to be We abandon the back 2 to defend on counters, I’d the FB are pushing high the DM needs to drop to plug a gap either left or right dependant on which side the attack is happening but we don’t have that everyone is trying to get in on the act up front and we get done on breakaways or balls over the top.

    set pieces were terrible against Diet Huns they tried to push up so far a d catch hearts off side they abandoned picking up 3 players in the centre which allowed Souter to head over Bain, we should be man for man marking and winning your battles that’s how we defend by getting stuck into the opposition not by running out and putting your hand up for offside especially when we have no chance of getting any decisions our way

    I would like to see a back 3 of Welsh Bitton and Starfelt and use wing backs but not Ralston or Taylor I think this could solve the breakaway situation and give us more height for set pieces

    A home game v Dundee wouldnt have 'got the juices flowing' as they say last season but Im really looking forward to the game tomorrow. Exciting times under Ange and with the fans returning to Paradise it feels like we've got the old Celtic back. Go on a winning run now and all in the world will be good again. Hail Hail!! :celt_2::boxing::celt_2:
