St Mirren vs Celtic, 21/01/2012, 12.30pm, ESPN

Potentially tricky fixture this one. They beat the filth on Christmas Eve in Paisley and although there can be no doubting that we have a stronger squad than both Rangers and St Mirren, they'll have taken a great deal of confidence from that victory and will be looking to cause another upset here, as we look to make it twelve domestic victories in a row.

Strongest team out for this one again. Perhaps the same team as today against Dundee United, with Forrest replacing Brown on the right?

Forster

Matthews Rogne Mulgrew Izaguirre

Forrest Wanyama Ledley Samaras

Stokes Hooper

Subs:

Zaluska.
Brown.
Ki.
Commons.
Cha.
K.Wilson.
McGeough.

Thoughts and predictions?
​

 

Any win will do. 3-1.

 

couldnt disagree with the team selection maybe give commons another half hour 20 minutes get his match fitness back up if we can afford to

st mirren try and play football which will make it a good game

 

Could be very tricky. I'll go with the same line up as Shane.

 

3-0 Hooper Hattrick.

........................Forster
Matthews....Rogne....Mulgrew....Izaguirre
Brown ......Wanyama Ledley.....Forrest
................Hooper Stokes

 

I'd drop Brown for Forrest but we know Lenny won't.

 

I think we are now in for a 'rut' of games- ie we just need to do whatever to win! Pailsey will be tricky this may be another 2-1 to us.

 

Free ESPN with virgin until the 3rd of feb for me cant wait for the mach

 

Tough game but we are getting good at grinding out results.

Forster

Matthews Rogne Mulgrew Izaguirre

Brown Wanyama Ledley Samaras

Stokes Hooper

 

Same team selection. Would have McCourt on the bench though.

I think we will cane them. They only beat the huns because the huns are * Colin Nish.

 

3-0 Celtic. (Stokes, Hooper & Forrest)

Before yesterday i thought this would be tricky.

Now we should be hammering these fools, 10 man hearts humped them yesterday

 

This

 

Want Forrest back in the starting 11, amazing wee player and was missed yesterday. Probably see Stokes dropping on to the bench, just to accommodate Brown. Not too happy about it but I can see it happening.

Forster
Matthews Rogne Mulgrew Izzy
Forrest Brown Wanyama Ledley
Hooper Sammy

Think that'll be the team, even though I'd have Stokes on for Brown, Sammy on the left, Vic and Ledley in the middle.
Still a good team that and more than capable of winning.

 

Could be a tricky one but then Hearts did beat them 5-2 yesterday with a man less. Pretty confident if we get the opening goal early, to go on and score atleast three.

I will go for 3-0. Hooper, Stokes x2.

 

They would have upped their game against the huns big time as their squad is packed full of jungle jims, as well as their management team.

We shouldn't have too much problems against them.

 

Thats basically how I see lenny setting the team out, stokes out to accommodate brown.

 

I'd be happy to see pretty much the same starting line up as Shane gave in the OP but the players really need to stop this whole game of two half performances we have been seeing lately. You know- brilliant one half terrible the next, thinking we have the game won.

Fairly confident we will get the 12th win on the run and although I'd love to see us start hammering teams 4-0 + I'll settle for any kind of win. My prediction is 3-0 if we can get an early goal.

I think it's wrong to assume a team beaten the previous week by a 10 man team will be any easier. If anything they might defend a lot more which will make it much harder for us to break down.

 

the team will either be

forster
matthews rogne mulgrew izzaguirre
forrest wanyama ledley brown
stokes hooper ​

or

forster
matthews rogne mulgrew izzaguirre
brown wanyama ledley forrest
samaras hooper ​
