Subs; Zaluska, Lustig, Wanyama, McGeouch, Juarez, McCourt, Hooper

8-0 Sammy double hat-trick, Commons & McGeouch​

 

That would be the happiest moment of my life

 

I actually think it will be a title party. (well not the official 1 but you know what i mean)

I think they'll have a major hangover from their efforts on Sunday and i'd fancy Motherwell to at least get a draw against Rangers.

Still can't see it being a sell out though. Very rarely(if ever) do we completely sell out these days.

50-51k i'd guess.

 

We could be having a party if the huns lose on Saturday, sellout and the place will be rocking if we pump them.

 

Much higher i would guess

 

Don't know why we've appealed Cha's red card - hes pish and gets caught out too much(as proved last week) and not needed.

I think Izagurrie will get a start after his hour or so against Rangers.

Despite Rogne & Mulgrew being poor on Sunday they'll play i suspect as Lenny clearly doesn't fancy Kelvin Wilson in a physical battle. Sheridan & Sandaza are big & physically imposing so he'll sit out again i suspect.

Matthews has definetly not been as good the last few games but he'll play.

Ki will sit with Brown in front of him in the middle of the park.

Forrest & Ledley in the wide positions. Commons is unlucky not to get a start as he looked bright after coming on at the weekend but i feel Lenny will play it safe and will go for Ledley's solidity.

Samaras gets a start for being one of the the few players to come out of Sunday with any credit. A fit-again but poor-of-late Hooper will partner him i suspect.

Team that wil play on Sunday IMO.

2-0 Celtic.

 

That would even beat the Sammy game at Ibrox, especially if the huns drop points on Saturday (very doubtful).

 

I tend to agree with those who think the huns will drop points at Motherwell on Saturday. Now normally up until now we all know McCall makes sure Motherwell roll over and play dead as the scorlines clearly show especially when contrasted with Motherwell scores elsewhere.
But this time given the huns won't be able to play in Europe and Celtic are going to win the championship it doesn't matter this time. So combined with the fact that the huns will likely not be particuarly motivated and Motherwell are home I can easily see Motherwell getting a result on Saturday.

At the end of the day while it would be nice to have a chance to win the championship officially on Sunday I am not really bothered one way or another by the Mothwerwell game. This is about getting a big performance and reaction from the Celtic team come Sunday. If we can win the title briliant but most importantly we need a big perfromance from our team Sunday.

 

I hope you're right about it being a party mate.

The last I heard there were less than 4,000 tickets available. It'll be pretty close to a sell out if everyone turns up.

 

I just checked the etickeeting site and loads of sections are completely sold out, mostly lower sections with the upper tier very limited availability.

 

I think there will be about 57k.

 

Commons and Sammy have got to start after Sunday hopefully Hooper and Forrest are fit as well, think we need to put out an attacking minded team and attack from the first minute!!

 

Play everyone in there right position

Game will be sold out I'd imagine by the way.

 

There's one good point to this game. Cha won't be playing

 

Lets just see if we can win the game 1st eh - Should we drop points and that is possible as the form has "dipped" - will cast judgement till after the game and see if were back on track. If the players can not "GET UP" for this after their last 2 Pathetic showings then there`s a problem.
