    I don't have a problem with that, so long as it's not Ntcham next to him.

    Starting with Soro and Turnbull instead of Brown and "x" gives us a better chance of winning it, therefore I'd rather they started.

    I want Celtic to win the cup, not Scott Brown.

    He can walk the team out instead of Lennon then if it’s that big of a deal to have him lead us out.

    For the good of the team I think that's what a selfless captain would do

    I see what you did there. Rogic plays like the ball is glued to his feet. Glue on feet. Sniffing feet. Sniffing glue. Class.

    You’ve still got it me ol’ son.

    Possibly, but it's also possible his experience of that type of occasion could be invaluable...

    And he deserves the opportunity.

    His comments about reverting to his usual team selection for the Scottish Cup final are further proof that he is totally * clueless. Our upturn in form is down to the forced inclusion of a few talented individuals, whom Lennon had ostracised, nothing more.

    Picking a team based on some misguided notion of loyalty, rather than merit or tactical considerations, is insane. Spare me the nonsense about it being a masterstroke of man management: it will further alienate the players who might, perhaps, salvage our season

    He is gambling not only the quadruple treble but the rest of our season to reward his pals for a half-season of failure.

    Does he? We have won just two of the last twelve games in which he has featured, and he has often been among the worst performers. I think that you might be overstating the value of his experience at this stage of his career, mate.

    Soro, on the other hand, has been a revelation.

    Call me old fashioned, but you pick the best players at your disposal to win a game.

    Anything else is total incompetence/ borderline negligence.

    The only loyalty should be to winning a trophy for fans who pay week in, week out....especially this season.

    I think he's been far from being one of the worst performers. Id personally prefer Turnbull and Soro from now on, and think they've both earned their place over the last few performances, but Brown and one or the other together wouldn't concern me, preferably Turnbull if it were a choice.

    If the Cup final had been moved from the 1966-67 season, rather than the 2019-20 season, to now, would you be sending John Clark out to play?

    Brown's playing career is over, and the last fourteen games are testament to that.

    There is no room for sentiment now. There might have been if Lennon had made better decisions this season, but there is now a distinct possibility that we may finish what should have been an historic season without silverware.

    Brown has been “far from being one of our worst performers”? Are you joking?

    As long as he takes a seat on the bench after walking the players out.

    It doesn't really matter, we owe Broonie a huge debt of gratitude if Lenny wants to show him that by bringing him to start this one, there's no argument from me.

    To Captain us on Sunday is a fitting end to this period of domination and a way of saying thank you as arguably we wouldn't going for a quadruple treble if it weren't for him..

    He's rarely let's us down on the big occasion.

    Soro and Turnbull are must starts going forward, no arguments there.
