    Let's try and get over that defeat in a positive fashion. Our story this season is so much bigger than today's event. Hopefully our players will do us proud and redeem themselves in our derby game.

    Here's a good question, who'd you pick?

    Who should we drop? Should we deselect guys like Hooper, despite them being undeniably talented players?

    Also, what's the score? We been properly grounded now after that result, or do we still reckon we'll hammer them?

    If we play like we can we will blitz them. I would drop stokes.

    Lenny will have them fired up like * after today and rangers will hopefully suffer the backlash.

    After that display hooper and stokes to be dropped. But we can't. So lenny should say to them play better or * off. Simple as. If hooper wants out grand. if stokesy thinks he's robbie keane. C ya. If they want to stay theyhave the potential to be as good as anyone they want and could become legends.

    I would drop hooper and keep stokes upfront even after all the penalty * he looked far more lively imo hopefully pump that mob to make up for today :54:

    Stokes will be dropped. Kelvin Wilson better be dropped. Hooper will probably start, as he always does in these games. Personally, I'd have something like this:

    Forster

    Matthews Rogne Mulgrew Izaguirre

    Forrest* Brown Wanyama Ledley

    McCourt

    Samaras ​


    Yes, I would start McCourt and drop both Hooper and Stokes to the bench. It worked in the 2-0 New Year's game last year, McCourt playing just off of Samaras.

    As I've said in the match thread, neither of our two front men are on top of their game right now and that was proven today, with the amount of chances they squandered.

    *Forrest playing obviously depends on how he is after today.

    Broony - Ledley - Ki - Mcgeouch - Forrest

    Samaras​

    Stokes and hooper were equally * today, so the only reason i would drop stokes is because i think hoopers a more clinical finisher andnhes done the business against them before.

    I'd go with:

    Forster

    Matthews, Rogne, Mulgrew, Izaguirre*

    Wanyama

    Brown, Ki, Ledley, Commons


    McCourt

    Hooper


    *Not sure if Izzy will be ready for the game. If not, put Ledley in his position, slot Brown in at CM and put Forrest on.

    This simply can't come quick enough. I just want to forget all about this day and absolutely steamroller these *. Makes me so angry that we need to wait another seven long days :31:

    I'd go with the same team but I'd still like Stokes and Hooper up front.

    Forrest, I'd leave on the bench until June.

    Hopefully it'll give Neil lots of time to ponder where he went wrong today and put us in a better position to succeed next weekend.

    Also, lots of time on the training field. Complacency cannot be tolerated at a club like Celtic. Simply unacceptable!

    Changes must be made.

    Hooper has been off the boil for a good while now.

    Stokes never usually plays anyway.

    Forrest needs a rest.

    I would go

    Forrest
    Matthews Rogne Mulgrew Izaguirre
    Brown Ki Wanyama Ledley Commons
    Samaras

    It will be a battle, we have seen how dirty they play when they actually have something to play for. I think they will be much worse.


    The only good thing that can come out of today is if we come out all guns blazing against them.
