Duffy is at least 4th choice CB now and I don’t see him starting the game.
Depending on who is fit, I think 2 out of 3 between Bitton, Ajer and Jullian will play.
I think we’ll start with a 4-2-3-1 but it’s possible we could move to a 3-5-2 for the last 25 minutes similar to what we’ve done in recent games.
I would only expect a change of formation if the game is in the balance at this stage.
I can see us bringing on the 3rd CB with Edouard and take off Christie ( who started 3 away games for Scotland in 6 days ) and either Rogic or Elyounoussi depending on who is playing the best.

When's Julien due back?

I would only go one different from you Buzz and that would be eddy as the striker.

Julien has been a huge miss for us. A goalkeeper short on confidence with an unsettled defence has led to us letting in far to many goals so far this season.

Julien is having fitness assessed according to Lennon.

If Lennon plays Duffy and we drop points, Lennon will have nobody to blame but himself for getting sacked. Only way we will see 10iar is by keeping Duffy as far away from team as possible. Welsh is a far better option and will only get better with game time.

First time poster here, after watching big Gallagher for Scotland I would like to see Celtic take a chance on him - he's out of contract in the summer for Motherwell and would be cheap to get in January. Not convinced with Duffy and wages are too much for what we are seeing with him so cutting his loan short would fund Gallagher's move - thoughts?

Its a no for me. Boy is similar to a Duffy type player. Reasonable with back to wall defending. Celtic CH need a lot of pace and good on the ball. Celtic CH see a lot of the ball must be comfortable with building from the back. Big kick the ball anywhere is prehistoric.

He does seem better than Duffy (suppose that wouldn't be difficult) ; but we regularly score plenty against Motherwell and in my opinion he hasn't really stood out in those games. You just have to look at Hendry and even Taylor, to see SPL defenders find it hard to step up to the standards we demand and although Duffy hasn't worked out so far (especially for the money laid-out) ; we need younger, quicker and better quality if we want to improve - especially if Ajer goes? IMO.

Everything wrong with Scotland was on display last night.
Slow build up lack of cutting edge and losing a sloppy goal Same on sunday and with the under 21s sound familiar same as we have been recently.
Bringing these players in is not the answer we need new blood hungray young players prepared to learn new things and play at speed.

I think we missed a trick not getting dykes in the summer tbh.
