    They are winning without playing well. We were in the same position before the last derby game, we lost and went into freefall. If we win this game I predict they will do the same.

    Looking at how Christie played against Dundee Utd he was restricted to fit in as cover when Frimpong went forward this might be similar to how he will be used against them to nullify the outball wide that they use all the time.

    I know we have won some games and look good at times, the key word at times but some of the mistakes made in these games went unpunished and if we make them agains them they will capitalise on them and score.

    I have a bad feeling Lennon will go with Brown instead of Soro and Christie will also start and this will be like handing them a goal advance right from the get go.

    I honestly feel that Lennon will pick his favourites, due to them being experienced etc and get the line up and subs wrong.

    Or he proves not only myself but many others wrong, drops some of his blue eyed bhoys and goes two up top and we * take the game to them from the first whistle.

    I hope I’m wrong, I really do but I have a really bad feeling about Sunday! Please don’t * this up.

    If Brown starts we will not win. If he doesn’t, I believe we can certainly do it. Should be a cracking game.

    This is the smart money. Just win at any cost and build on the confidence it will bring. It will also have them * their pants.

    Soro, turnbull and griff are absolute must starts. If they dont then Lennon might aswell collect his p45 at full time

    Keep it tight for the first hour then get the likes of Johnston on to run at them when it’s stretched.

    Anyone that suggests Ntcham should start needs their heed checked

    Ok here’s my team, which won’t play but should play:

    ***

    Hazard

    Frimpong Ajer Bitton Laxalt

    Soro

    McGregor MJ Elynoussi

    Griff Eddy



    - I guess he’ll start

    Barkas
    Brown
    and drop Griffiths (3 goals in 3 games) and play Greg Taylor in behind Pretty much out of sorts Eddy ...

    Ah * this man. We’re getting beat. I can’t see us doing it. Every massive game this season and we’ve shat the bed.

    We'll probably play really well and win now it's too late. Typical.

    Would not be surprised by a bore draw

    I have worried about this too. If we win and convincingly then I think it will be a serious turning point.

    No question those 3 all have to and have earned the right to start Saturday.

    I would love you to be right but I just do not see that. Sure we have played much better in the last 2 games in particular but we are still a ways off our best and they no question IMHO are still clear favourites to win Saturday. If we manage to win it would be an incredible result and boost to our confidence as well but the idea that we will go there and win convincingly I just do not see any evidence that is even remotely on the cards. I would love to be wrong but I do not see that happening.

    Leave frimpong until their full back is tired and set him loose and take off bitton to move ajer inside and when we're 3 up brown for soro. I'm really confident for 2 reasons....1 this is a completely different Celtic from the 1st game and 2 we are creating lots of chances and this is the game we take most of them. The Huns are nowhere near the team * think they are.
