If we play a strong team and one of them get injured ill be raging. We've got our biggest game for ages on Wednesday, we need everybody fit for it.

 

Hope to see a fair bit of youth for this.

I'll say 3-0 to the Bhoys. Shouldn't be too tough, and we'll no doubt have a strong bench just in case. Most important thing is keeping players injury free for Spartak.

 

This. Mental if we play any of Ambrose, Wilson, Mulgrew, Kayal, Ledley, Brown, Sammy or Hooper on Sat. Need Ambrose and Wilson's pace at the back against Spartak and with Wanyama suspended it would be daft to risk any of the CM's (or Chuck) picking up an injury. If Lustig went off for anything other than a knock I wouldn't risk Matthews or Izzy either.

 

I'd probably be more raging if we got put out of the Scottish Cup by Arbroath.

 

We * better no, I stay in Arbroath, travelling down to the game with another fellow Tim and two Arbroath supporters, it'd be a long journey home if we did get beat......nae * chance.......I hope

 

I'd like to see:

:Zaluska:

:Matthews: :Wilson: :Mulgrew: :Izaguirre:

:McGeouch: :Wanyama: :McCourt:

:Ibrahim: :Watt: :Miku:


With Twardzik and another youth player or two on the bench.

Doubt that will happen though if I'm honest. It'll be a slightly stronger team I suspect.



Edit: In saying that though I just realised that back 4 is pretty much our strongest so who knows.

Keep Forsters momentum up, i dont care if its against Arbroath big man is on a run and has to play. Hoops + Izzy for that bit of match practice

Celtic 5-0 Arbroath

Hooper x 2, McCourt, Miku, McGeough​

​

 

Lots of squad rotation for this one hopefully.

​

Bench:

Zaluska
Matthews
Fisher
Atajic
Hooper

Duno if it's 5 or 7 subs, but I'd have this 5 for sure.

 

£12, good price, hopefully get myself down to this one. we should leave nothing to chance concerning the spartak game, our reserve team should be capable of winning by a few goals.

 

Start with a strong team, get a convincing win at home which has frankly eluded us domestically for the most part, and take on some younger guys if well up after 55/60 minutes. Would start with Lassad and Hooper again, as I want that to develop in to a good partnership, and that takes time. Suspect that won't happen, however.

 

....................Forster........

Matthews Rogne Charlie Chalmers

Mc Geough Wanyama Tzrwadck Paddy

............Lassad...........Miku...........

 

I would go with a strong backline and an experimental midfield and attack.

Think at least one area of the team needs to be strong and experienced. Would go with this:

Zaluska
Matthews Ambrose Mulgrew Izzy
Kayal Wanyama twardzik
Ibrahim Watt Miku​

Still a strong team there, Wanyama to play as he won't feature against Spartak. Kayal to keep up his good form of late. With an interchangeable front line that will be given license to roam and has a bit of pace about it.

Have Wanyama and Kayal sit in with twardzik supporting the front three. Bring on the likes of Chalmers, Fraser, Mcgeouch in the second half.

 

Zaluska
Matthews Rogne Mulgrew Izzaguirre
McGeouch Wanyama Kayal Ibrahim
Lassad Miku

Get a few goals, hopefully both front Bhoys get a goal apiece. Watt and Atajic to get a run out from the bench.

 

Should be a comfortable victory.

 

Rest EVERYONE except big Vic.
