    I do appreciate the sentiment of change but we’ve been burned before with going overboard with changing it up too much. That backline is cringe. I agree with getting Johnston in as well but I’d try and fit in Kouassi and maybe Ralston.

    Need to change it up, but inserting 4 academy players seems a bit excessive to me.

    A win, obviously, but a clean sheet is a must. We NEED to get some confidence into the back.

    Don’t think for a second it will even be in doubt but the fact that this is a ‘must win’ at this point of the season is telling.

    If the literally unthinkable were to happen I don’t know where we go from that.

    Thankfully I think we should comfortably despatch of them.

    Forrest and more importantly Sinclair wingbacks ? I like it. Outside the box, Partick won’t know what’* them. Don’t think Dembele is fit enough for starting quite yet, but the sooner he is up and running the better.

    Play our best 11, if we’re 2or 3 up bring on some young bhoys, last week proved our squad s not good enough just to make massive changes

    Look, I know we are not supposed to show negativity but I don't get to even pretend I care about this.

    Regardless, if we need to regain motivation, morale, etc, playing our best 11 isn't the right thing to do it. The only thing we will get is half arsed guys strolling on the pitch and an 1-0 victory. Our second half of last season shows it very well. We need to give chances to guys like Johnstone and test fringe players of the squad. This game will be one of the very few opportunities of it. There might be only one more occasion in the season where we will play an opponent worse than this. Makes zero sense to rest your best players against Hearts and go full strenght against Partick Thistle.

    Bring the kids on. Hopefully we see some spirit in the pitch and not the same guys who don't seem bothered. Also, since we are not signing anyone, we need to see what the academy CBs are like.

    We should be using this game to get our forwards used to * playing 2 up front, and also rest Brown who is still playing injured

    Would rather we rested players in the league cup this season tbh and just focused on the the league and the Europa league. We saw last year how competing in 4 competitions affected our league form. But we should win this comfortably no matter what team we put out, 2-0 Celtic.

    I watched us playing in Paddy’s I’m sure. A right good * from the drum that runs it.
