Ed hows the casualty list for tomorrow? Any word on Broon, Benkovic, Griff or Rogic? Broon missing is a big concern as rest assured the jambos will be there to mix it and there will be somewhere between no and feck all protection from the man in black.

{Ed007's Note - Brown and LG are definitely out but Benkovic should be fine and Rogic is due a late fitness test and Rodgers is hopeful he'll be fine.}

How effin ironic is it that Griff withdraws from EBT's squad to concentrate on his fitness and ends up missing several Celtic games through injury?

{Ed007's Note - He's not injured though, he's ill.}

Thanks Ed that’s a blow.

{Ed007's Note - Brown missing will be a blow when it comes the physical game Hearts will play but as a positive it could help the quick fluidity of the midfield.
We could go 3 at the back of Lustig-Hendry-Benkovic or Lustig-Benkovic-Tierney but I think it'll be Lustig-Hendry-Benkovic-Tierney at the back.
I don't think this will be the team but I'd start with this....

-------------------Bain-----
---Lustig----Hendry-Benkovic-Tierney---
-----McGregor--Mulumbu--Ntcham--
----------Forrest-------Rogic-----
-----------------Edouard-----

Time wee griff got his act together he looks out of shape and it's no coincidence he's picking up strains.

We have lost LG (and Dembele for that matter) for long spells quite frequently and we need to include a decent back-up striker, among other positions in the January window.

Good selection Ed. If Rogic pulls up sub on Sinclair.

my team for Leipzig was similar:

Gordon
Lustig, Boyata, Benkovic, Tierney
McGregor, Mulumbu, Ntcham
Christie, Sinclair
Edouard.

Forrest back is a no brainier for Christie.
I think I’d like to try Compper instead of Hendry replacing Boyata.

Like your side to ed. To be honest as long as kouassi is not anywhere the team l will be happy. If he plays l think we are in serious trouble. There is no way he will be able to mix it or take the physicality that heart will bring from the word go. Definitely hope Mulumbu is fit and selected.

Obviously not seeing what BR does in training but think Sinky is due a start. Misfiring or not, he works hard defensively, and I think gets the best out of Tierney too.

Is mulumbo not injured and tomorrows not for compper imo.

{Ed007's Note - Has that been confirmed about Mulumbu? I didn't think anyone was sure what was going on there.}

Sure a heard Rodgers say it mate.

{Ed007's Note - I had heard it was more a disciplinary problem and Mulumbu was fined and suspended from playing by the Club.}
