Going on current form and fitness, I'd go with this team on Saturday:
Gordon
Lustig Boyata Jozo KT
Brown Armstrong
Forrest Rogic Sinclair
Griffiths
Hopefully bring on Paddy, McGregor and Moose for the last half hour. I can see 3-1 or 4-1 tbh.

Ntcham for Armstrong.
21 Sep 2017 13:12:54
I'd start Ntcham and bring Armstrong on. I'd play Paddy and Dembele if fit all day long.
21 Sep 2017 13:24:19
If we play a back three, I would have Brown with Ntcham as defensive midfielders; but if we start with a back four then, unlike against Dundee it allows for Rogic, McGregor or Armstrong to push forward.
The only slight problem I noticed last night is accommodating paddy and James Forrest together as I felt Roberts was out of position last night and never had the same impact we know he can and the way Forrest is playing it's impossible to leave him out.

I think Roberts looked way off the pace last night otherwise he'd have been in my team. Forrest is on fire just now so that's why I'd have him in. Armstrong gives more energy and attacking threat than Ntcham and I feel their set up will only require one sitting midfielder in Brown, allowing Armstrong to bomb forward and help the forwards. Dembele obviously is the main man but I think BR will show faith in Griff.

No matter what 11 we go with what an incredibly strong bench we will will have.
21 Sep 2017 14:13:30
I'd definitely play Griffiths if he's still fit, think he might be sore the day he was limping a lot before he went off.

It's a good headache to have for sure Kevbhoy. On ability, Forrest gets dropped. On form, he's in. Certainly Stan, to think we could have Griffiths/ Dembele, Roberts/ Forrest/ Rogic, Armstrong and McGregor to bring on; all players that would get in their first XI imo.
21 Sep 2017 15:25:08
I think Dembele was rested for the tie and expect him to start. Since Griff hardly deserves dropping I think we'll go out shooting both barrels. Probably that means Paddy dropping out and Forrest as starting, with Ntcham, Sinclair, and Broony filling out the midfield.
Have we got a back line of Lustig, Boyata, Simunovitch and Tierney all fit? I really could see a back 3 to enable an extra midfielder bombing on, and could see any of Armstrong, McGregor or Rogic all making sense.

Been very surprised if he plays a back 3 against the Zombies.
Who ever he plays they need to watch for the play acting from Morales, he dives more than Tom Daley.
Our players will need to be sensible and don't dive in to the tackles, the Sevco players and not to mention their fans will be screaming for one of our Bhoys to be sent off at the slightest foul.
I feel Roberts has to play from the start, he will cause the full backs all sorts of bother. Then for the last 20-30mins bring on Forrest when the wee man done his shift.
I suppose that's why Brendan gets the big money to make these decisions and I only make comments on here!
Can't wait till Saturday when Glasgow will truly be Green and White.

I guess whatever we are planning for Anderlecht, we will trial at Ibox - just a training session really.
