with it looking like lustig is out and doubts over biton and armstrong it may be time for a change of formation with a 4.5.1 against malmo
gordon
fisher
boyata
virgil
izzy
janko
johansen
broony
biton?rogic
armstrong?mulgrew
griffiths
thinking being that the right hand side is better defensively and charlie can play the wide left role very efectively at times and would be good cover for izzy plus if malmo go all out attack as the coach suggested then any break up of play could lead to the ball going over the top and griffiths is our best option with his pace and finishing.

Be a good shout that I was thinking the same 2 wingbacks on the wing will provide good cover to the back 4. Thinking their pitch will be a lot more smaller than ours too so that will make us harder to break down too.

Mulgrew playing in the midfield. will some people ever learn. Doh!

I would rather Mulgrews delivery than Izzys! Plus he's and extra height which means one of the CBs can stay back on corners to cover counter attacks

I think I would play Allan against malmo on Tuesday just behind the striker and let him run at there defence. because this boy could thread a ball through the eye of a needle

We are not at the stage yet, that we need to change everything and experiment with Allan who hasn't played for Celtic yet .
The tried and tested will work providing we don't do anything stupid defensively .
Trying new things won't make up for stupid defences .

At least with 4-5-1 if we go behind we have a plan b switch it around and play 4-2-3-1
