    The question is do we play with Abada on the wing and GG up front. Or Forrest on the wing?

    Forrest and GG have been poor.

    Hopefully it's either one of the other.

    Also Juranovic needs to be right back.

    We were supposed to give Hearts and Utd a doing. First half alone we could've been out of sight in the Hearts game and GG should've scored at least two and O'Riley missed a sitter against Utd.

    We're due a win against this mob and we're also due a big win in general. They have been poor this season and they've been poor since coming back from the winter break. Drawn 2 and won 1 domestically. Aberdeen were absolutely robbed. They've conceded 4 and scored 5 in their last two games. Us? Won 3 - conceded 2, scored 4.

    If one team is under pressure, it's them.

    The new manager bubble has popped. They've been overrun in midfield by Ross County.

    We really should be putting them to the sword.

    I think the game will be told on 3 key things, not trying to state the obvious or harp on...

    1 - if we give away a cheap free kick from the wing or from corners - they are dangerous with set pieces and corners into the box, we need to put men on the post from corners esp as hart does not command his area well.

    2 - as we seen on sat and many times this season, we need to be clinical in the last third - 14 corners on sat!! we get to the by-line and the final ball is wrong. gia and o'riley had good chances in the first half, gia in the second half. When was the last time we scored first in these games?!

    3 - Stop kent and diallo on the wings and track the runs of aribo.

    I think forrest is away down the rank and looks half the player he used to be, yes he is a big game player but personally I think Doak will make a mark from now to the end of the season.

    Mc carthy could be key on wed..

    with the fans and a good start i think we will be ok - given the injuries we have a draw would prob be ok, but we need to go for the juglar and we need to win most of our 1 to 1s to win the game and attacking third to be red hot.

    we need jota to be bang on form and abada to be clinical in his final ball (his stats are lethal, if he can improve his decision making on the touch line he will be an even better more influential player) I agree with you - start strong and they might crumble.

    with abada in the middle - high balls and crosses are pretty much worthless, yes a cross came in on sat but at that stage dundee utd were heavy legged. Do we give GG a chance ? I think abada can create when he gets behind their left back, jota will torture tavernier, but if diallo plays we will need jota to get back and help out our left back (taylor :-0 our biggest weakness).

    scales is a laboured play, has a nice cross etc but he has no zip and struggles to get back - he isnt the answer against a tricky quick winger.

    I like Soro, for his energy and clean distribution, and if his temperment and judgement was good and he did not commit those stupid fouls in danger zones he would be my pick ahead of Scales. I do not believe the lad will be picked for there.
    I would like him to be picked for there.

    That's why we have conversations. Celtic to win, Ange picks the XI.

    Don't want Soro starting at all, he gives me the fear. Also quite glad Bitton is suspended for this one because I could easily see him getting sent off.

    Had a dream last night it was a nervy 0-0, but I'm gonna say 4-1 Celtic

    Who comes off the bench if O'Reilly or Hate gets injured I don't see a attacking midfielder there and we sent Shaw on loan unless we are going to bring someone in on loan at the last minute .

    Dunno why you're so adamant about it, all I'm saying is there's a chance either might play

    Maeda could and probably make the bench if he’s back in time. But can’t see McGregor risking it
