There’s been 4 victories each in the 8 Derby games since Slippy appeared in Glasgow.
In all of those games,
The club that’s scored the opening goal has went on to win the game.

Don't know about you Buzz; but I've went from being happily confident with the way the team selection and ho we are playing to wondering and worrying how Jullien's absence may not just affect the back four personnel and positions, but how many other changes he might make?
The result is crucial for any title hopes and a team sent out not to lose - rather than take the game to them to win, may be on his mind?

If he sends a team out there to not lose, he should hang his head, we need to take the game to them straight from kick off and don't let up.

A team has been leaked. No idea how legit it is - Ed and others might know. Anyway Brown starts. Hopefully it's nonsense.

not the team for me but it does look solid if not maybe a bit safe.

01 Jan 2021 21:14:28
Duffy hasn't played for a few weeks so that looks dubious whether true or not and why go back to an isolated Eddy up front - when we have seen the improvement in him and the team with Griff there?
Whatever team he puts out - we have to win this game; no excuses.

Agree0 Disagree0

01 Jan 2021 21:14:55
I like that lineup and it’s good enough to win Celtic the game.
There’s maybe more control about that lineup because we don’t want to take the chance of getting picked off.
Celtic are certain to win the midfield battle with that lineup and we will have 3 midfielders making runs to partner Edouard.
And Lennon will always have the option to change it at any time.
If he does change the formation and we lose,
Lenny will get heavy criticism.

I'd still prefer griffiths in instead of Brown. In any case, who is leaking the team?

Agree0 Disagree0

01 Jan 2021 22:04:34
Brown shouldn’t play as he will spend his time winding up Morelos and Kent. He has to start with Eddy and Griff as they will be happy with a draw. We have to win.

I just hope that NL can match SG tactics as he outsmarted him in the last couple of games.

Hi guys, if the leaked team is true then looks to me Lennon is more worried about what they can do to us than how we can hurt them. Chemistry with griff and Eddie is there to see and they both must start for me. Ajer right back with frimpong right mid. No arfield and jack weakens there middle and I think we can exploit that with turnbull finding pockets of space. I think kamara will be given the task of picking turnbull up which for me will allow more space for frimpong to run at barisic. The wee man has been more attack minded past few games he’s the only width we have and will be wasted at rb. They don’t like 4-4-2 motherwell and hibs have proved that there past 2 home games. We need to win tomorrow so let’s play to our strengths and not worry about them. 🍀🍀🍀.

The midfield battle will be won by the team that has the best midfield, not necessarily by the team that has the most players in midfield, the best midfield will be the one that has the right blend, with players that compliment each other, Brown in that midfield, disrupts the flow, slows down and strangles the forward movement, unless he is playing further back, as a kind of third centre half, to help out the dreadful pairing of Ajer and Duffy.
Can't see this being anything like the real team lineup, maybe it's fake news being out by Lenny to confuse Gerard, he must play Ajer at right back, and Bitton and Duffy, in the middle, and Taylor at left back,

Agree1 Disagree0

01 Jan 2021 22:16:28
Julien is out so it's Duffy. He better have his epl heed on.

If this turns out to be true its worrying. Who is the leak? The team is everywhere, hopefully lennon has leaked this him self hoping rangers take the bate.

Agree1 Disagree0

02 Jan 2021 09:37:14
That’s the thing that worries me most. Rangers have a formation they stick to and their starting 11 is easy to predict as it’s a settled team.
We don’t know our best formation, defensive pairing or who plays through the middle, lots of big decisions to make for Lennon.
If leaked team is correct you have to assume there’s a Sevconian on the books at our club as this happens so regularly it’s embarrasing.

What's the transfer agreement with Eduard and the board?

Believable0 Unbelievable0

01 Jan 2021 20:21:44
The story came from The DR I understand, that Celtic will allow Eddy to leave in the summer if and when a suitable bid comes in and he will not be sold in the January 'window' as was speculated.
Apparently AC Milan, Juventus and Arsenal might be interested?

Agree1 Disagree0

01 Jan 2021 20:27:55
I think Edouard is being allowed to leave at the end of the season.
Celtic will be lucky to get £20 million going into the last year of his contract.

Just read that lennon said he may not go with the same shape against the Sevconians, not sure if he could play a diamond formation against them. Back to the old failed, tried and trusted shape against them again. Probably drop Griffiths and tell us he’s playing Christie up with eddy .
Probably all to accommodate browny .
If so I appreciate their attacking comes from the full backs but we are altering our complete shape to try to nullify it,
Whilst weakening is massively as well . 🙈.

Believable1 Unbelievable0

01 Jan 2021 14:40:38
Why would he disclose any hints about team selection, formation and tactics before such an important game? Could be just a smokescreen?

Agree1 Disagree0

01 Jan 2021 14:54:20
Hopefully, but hasn’t he already said or named about 6 players that are starting. Maybe julien being injured has altered his hand slightly due to the fact neither Duffy or biton are really good enough.
My opinion is that both defences are the weak points, although their record tells us differently, I feel a lot of teams are sitting back against them in the spl, in Europe where teams have attacked they have let a few goals in. If we pressure them there is definitely mistakes in them. Possibly our best form of defence is attack.

Agree0 Disagree0

01 Jan 2021 15:21:44
Maybe play a 4-3-3 then. Could still be same 3 in middle probably just drop Griffiths for Moi/ MJ and play Christie on the right. The system we been playing Frimpong could leave defense exposed when caught out up the pitch. So we'd need a winger to track back and help out.

Agree0 Disagree0

01 Jan 2021 16:17:32
mcgregor and christie are capable of moving 10 yards wider on each flank out of the diamond when not in possession to nullify them while causing problems of there own while in possession and easily have the legs we have to go with this or we are on to a negative result I'm afraid and i would still play ajar at RB with duffy and bitton in the middle.

Agree0 Disagree0

01 Jan 2021 18:00:49
For me if lennon starts brown and duffy, goodbye 10iar. Sevco really struggle against Hibs and their 4-4-2 tactics. We should stick with 4-4-2 version we have been deploying as it has been working and sevco will seriously struggle as they cannot cope with play being narrowed.

If he sticks as close to team selection starting past few games I can see a 2-0 win for us.

PS I really hope NL has the balls to stick with the midfield 4 and leave Broonie on the bench for this one, he will have to be left out one at sometime. Let's hope it's tomorrow.

😅 If we're in a lead Phlop then aye, I could see it, and would enjoy it! But we have to get there first and our best chance will be by playing the midfield that has done well lately. No doubt we'll miss Broonies marshalling but the energy without him is what will be key.

Agree0 Disagree0

01 Jan 2021 12:29:53
I'd definitely not start him and for me he's only really good for the nuisance factor now. The amount of energy he wasted chasing Naismith around hazard was impressive.
