    Think we need to be realistic here. We've done well the past 6 games. Improved a lot, played the right people in the right system. Credit where its due, but this should have been noticed a long time ago. We're gelling and gathering pace from the past 6 games. The scum have been doing this since the first whistle this season. Longer if you want to include their European fixtures. They know their system inside out, and can easily change personnel within with minimal fuss, We're one cross in from a full scale panic between our GK and defence. Still prone to individual errors also.

    I am more hopeful than a month ago, and should we match up to the level needed we'll be OK. Will this be enough, time will tell. Its gross mismanagement, thats led us here, but only a win will do. No excuses. But I feel we've left ourselves to much to do in this game, and the rest of the season. Would love to be proved wrong.

    I can understand being negative 3/4 weeks ago but we have started to keep clean sheets and with the new midfield I'm now quite confident we can win , I'm going us 2-1

    I think this game will tell us a lot more about the players than the manager.

    I havnt been this confident in Celtic in months. Against half decent sides they concede. If we stay organised we can win. A month ago I would have said we would be destroyed

    They may have been continuing to get results in the league but their level of performance has definitely dropped in recent weeks while ours has improved. Even if you take a look at their game v St Mirren today, their first goal took a huge deflection and their second was the result of a horrendous attempt at a back pass from a St Mirren defender. St Mirren did have their chances but failed to take them.

    We can definitely win this we just have to stay focused defensively, our midfield and especially our front two of Griffiths and Edouard can give them serious problems.

    They are not as good as they are getting credit for.

    I like our chances if we play Soro and Turnbull. Not overly keen on Barkas, and would have stuck with Hazard, but think that's a done deal now.

    It all comes down to our back 4 is my thinking. Fingers crossed.

    We need to be on the front foot from the off, and be passing about in there half sharp, and have them defending which they've no had to do.

    We canny afford to give the * a few easy 50/50's and gift them the impetus early doors

    We have it in us to out play these *, a good start is a must.

    They looked utter * on Sportscene tonight. One lucky deflected goal and the second one the defender passed the ball to Morelos for a one on one and he scored.

    St Mirren had a fair few chances but didn’t take them.

    We need to take the game to them on Saturday and if we do we will get chances. Griff and Eddy need to be a lot more clinical than they have been of late though.

    He's anyone thought he might play Brown and Soro together for extra defensive cover?

    If he plays 352 id think hed try that

    Barkas
    Ajer Duffy bitton
    Brown Soro
    Frimpong Turnbull Laxalt
    Eddy Griff

    But I think it'll be a 451

    Barkas
    Ajer Duffy bitton taylor
    Frimpong Turnbull soro McGregor Laxalt
    Eddy

    No doubt brown will be making an appearance though last 20 against a tired team

    These * have ridden their luck for long enough, whatever team starts we will create chances and we have to take them cause they scummy * are good at finding ways to score.

    Hopefully Madden doesn’t decide to take the spotlight, they’ll be diving in out half every chance they get to win a set piece.

    Feel * sick thinking about this one, never been so nervous going into an old firm, easily the biggest since 98. Draw/lose and the 10 is gone, would give anything for a win.
