The Official Celtic v Hearts thread

A nice 2-0 or 3-0 here I feel.

 

Dougie Mcdonald is the ref for this game.. Mcurry is doing the Huns away to Kilmarnock..

When we played Hearts in the cup their players were hitting the deck like 9 pins... I think this could be a bit of an ugly game..

 

Absoloutly agree we need to start the game with our best 11, get the game won hopefuly, and only then should we protect our better players.

Would like to see Samaras start to get him match sharp as I would like him to play against Barca. I think his control movement and link up play would benefit us against Barca much more than big Jan´s abilities in the box.

 

I would like to see this team play Hearts ahead of the barcas game..

Hinkel--Caldwell--McManus--Naylor

Nakamura--Brown--Robson--McGeady

McDonald--Hesselink

Hinkel for Caddis or maybe Samaras instead for McDonald

Brown for Hartley

Robson for Donati

​

​

 

Absolutely. We are four points behind so this is a must win game.

 

I dont, Hartley deserves a place tomorrow after his performance at Aberdeen.

Boruc​

Hinkel - Caldwell - McManus - Naylor​

McGeady - Brown - Hartley - Nakamura​

Hesselink - McDonald​

Hopefully give the mini huns a good going over, 3-1 Celtic.​

 

Celtic have no new injury problems ahead of the visit by Hearts. However, full-back Paul Caddis will not be named in the squad following a family bereavement and defender John Kennedy remains on the sidelines.
Hearts caretaker manager Stephen Frail will have to do without midfieler Laryea Kingston, who has a foot injury.
Striker Christian Nade should be fit to play after a virus ruled him out of the win over Gretna, and Eggert Jonsson may return following a hamstring injury.

 

----------------------------Boruc---------------------------------

Hinkel------------Caldwell--------------McManus-------------Naylor

Naka--------------Brown---------------Hartley-------------McGeady

Subs.- M.Brown, Caddis, Robson, O'Dea, Vennegoor of Hesselink, Donati

I'd go with this unless Bobo makes a miraculous recovery from injury to replace Caldwell. And I can only agree with everyone who has said that the notion of resting key players with Wednesday in mind is ridiculous.

In many ways this game is even more important than Barcelona.

2-0 win for the bhoys.

 

we really need to play attacking football when we do its not only great to watch but look what happens when we do kille and aberdeen were blown away

 

Just read that Caddis isn't even in the squad because of a family bereavement, shame for the guy. Does anyone know if this is going to affect Wednesday. Who would play at right back if he wasn't available???

Doumbe and Wilson are both still injured right???? please don't tell me he would stick Caldwell there again

 

no way should restin players come into it,its a must win game,nice to c samaras get a start 2moro,3-0

 

oh * not caldwell clown shoes. he really has been found out that he is'nt that great at celtic

 

Aye ok bun..

 

You could argue that Donati deserves his place after his Killie performance.Also,Donati was very impressive for nearly the whole of January.

 

Plus, Hartley is pish

 

robson in i think and a 3-0 win

 

Wouldn't be surprised if we don't see skoosh tomorrow, unless things arn't going to plan

Theres a good chance it'll be a bit of a dirty game that i'll be played close to boling point. No broonies strong point with his temprement and with his previous club not being best of freinds with Hearts Gordan might see fit to give him a rest. Especialy with all the big games next month we need him firing on all cylinders.


Bit off topic but what odds do you think you'd get on him playing and getting booked?

 

GK Boruc
RB Caddis (rest Hinkel for barca
CB McManus
CB O'Dea (run out and rest whoever is playin barca)
LB Young guy (to rest Naylor)
RM Hartly (rest Naka)
CM Donati (rest Brown)
CM Sno (rest whoever plays agaisnt barca)
LM Someone young (rest McGeady)
ST Killen (rest Vennegoor)
ST Samaras (rest McDonald)

With this second string team I think that we can still run out 2-0 winners

 

Why would our reserves be able to beat Hearts so easily?

This sort of team selection is insane.

 

Don't think so mate. 3pm kick offs can't be shown live. You'll need a link methinks.
