Celtic 1 - 1 Dundee United

Need the three points desperately.

Utd were run ragged in the first half against Hibs. We have no excuses.

 

No doubt they are still using the old "magic sponge" and bucket of cold water treatments with perhaps a wee touch of Deep Heat thrown in for the more serious injuries (if our board allow them such costly medicines)

 

An early goal hopefully and comfortable win..

Hopefully we see McCarthy stepping it up more and more..

Would like Soro in for this..

 

We need to find some drive and energy which has been missing since Kyogo got injured, he is infectious and we miss him. If we don't then I can see it being a long 90 minutes, the usual possession game but creating nothing

 

Can’t wait for this now. Better win nothing fkn worse than dropping points on a Sunday evening to add the Monday blues…

 

Didn't realise they were a point ahead of us, won 3 of past 5 in league same as us, but Hibs blew them away in the first half during the week, get a quick start like that and we should be fine.

 

Just get a settled side, when they are injured,out of form or a better option comes along only then change it. Side has been all over the show with injuries, influx of new players and a new manager being dropped in it at the last minute to basically rebuild a team / squad.

We really don’t have much else available

 

Is Welsh injured? I'd have him ahead of Starfelt.

Subs - Bain, Ralston, Rogic, Welsh, Boli, Bitton, Shaw, Murray, Henderson.

 

Love how you have even named the subs George

Like that team!

 

Kyogo, McGregor, Julien, Giakoumakis, Forrest, Dembele, possibly Johnston. Mostly all proven players. When they come back in from injury it will be a decent squad to work with till the next transfer window I would think. Getting the balance right on the pitch is what needs tweaking.

 

Can see this being another slog tbh.

Teams know we haven't clicked yet as a unit.

I wouldn't go as far as to say "we've been figured out", but we don't seem to have enough confidence and belief, and certain players are lacking a bit of initiative and drive.

It's amazing what a few absences can do.

Looking at everybody's teams, you slot Kyogo, Cal and Julien into those sides and your confident of utd getting a right turning over.

Add into that, that most teams will be looking at how play out from the back and will be looking to put our defence under pressure, which at this exact moment in time, is highly likely to yeild openings.

We get an early goal and we'll kick on and control the game.

If not, make sure your Sunday Dinner is laced with valium.

 

Hopefully Scales starts but I think it will be the same team as the last couple of games. Would like to see him mix it up a little though:

Starfelt

Scales

Juranovic
Turnball
Rogic
Montgomery

Abada
Ajeti
Jota

 

Desperately need a victory today. Would even take a 1-0 just to be sure of the points. Another 6-0 would be good though but can't see it.

 

Just * win.

 

3-0

 

We don't loose at home so not worried at all. More excited to pull up at the airport with a sore throat for screaming GOOOAAAAALLLL at the radio so many times. The goals better be posted up

 

Must win with a depleted squad..

Can see it being a bit nervy..

 

A comfortable 3-0 victory and the start of winning run. COYBIG
