I'd be tempted to rest Kayal just to avoid any injuries going into the Ajax game in Amsterdam but he could do with getting his match fitness up. Give some of our senior players a rest. I'd like to see Załuska get a run-out.

 

Off topic (sorry) gonny be in amsterdam this weekend, any pubs that will show it? Most I check online have no mention

 

Taking my 9yr old to this his first away game. Big thanks to Lisbon1961(Alec) for getting me the tickets

 

Should be a cracker.....would some of the youngsters to get a spot on the bench especially after the good performance against the Ajax youngsters

 

The guy is a credit to this forum

 

Aye, Alec is a legend

 

3-1 celtic and rest a few players.

 

I'd ideally like a mix of fringe and youth players to play. Also with some experience in there too.

Forster
Fisher Ambrose Van Dijk Mulgrew
McGeouch Rogic/Biton Ledley
Balde Stokes Pukki

I think Emilio looked as if he was toiling after the 90 on Tuesday!

The more likely side will be ;

Forster
Fisher Ambrose Van Dijk
Forrest Brown Kayal Mulgrew
Stokes/Sammy/Puuki

 

Forster

Fisher
Ambrose
Van dijk
Mulgrew

Brown
Kayal
Ledley

Forrest
Balde
Pukki

Looking forward to this will be a good game..

Edit:what was I doing leaving brown out

Left stokes out of this one as the other 2 are in desperate need of more game time and confidence..

 

Forster
Fisher Ambrose Virgil Izzy
Brown Ledley
Forrest McGeouch Rogic
Balde​

 

Balde needs game time!

Get him started v Thistle.

He can only mature/progress so much on the training pitch.

Get him started leading the line I say.

Also as its televised id like to get a look at him for 90 mins.

 

I'm really looking forward to seeing some of our fringe players getting a run out in the big Glasgow derby. Partick will be right up for it, could be a right good game.

 

I'll be extremely disappointed if Balde doesn't start this weekend.

 

Mulgrew and Forrest have knocks so don't bother risking them, would rest Ambrose and Stokes.

FORSTER
FISHER LUSTIG VAN DIJK IZAGUIRRE
BROWN KAYAL LEDLEY
ROGIC
BALDE PUKKI​

 

Pukki and stokes are due a goal . This weekend will be it . I have been saying this for around three weeks now lol

 

Big crowd expected here,sure we got more extra tickets than the norm?

 

Really hope Balde starts, he HAS to surely? Feel a bit sorry for him.

Want to see McGeouch too, and possibly Rogic. If the fringe players come in they really need to perform. They don't get many chances to prove themselves. Hopefully the weekend gives them a platform.

 

Want Balde to start in this match.

Lustig Ambrose VVD Izzy

Get them pumped.
