Ajer

Bitton
Taylor
McGregor
Turnbull
Christie
Mio
Ajeti. Edouard did not look fit.

Said a while ago the only way Broony wouldn't start a game was if he was bed-ridden, so we will have to wait and see? However, with James Forrest injured and Eddy either carrying a knock (or not quite at-it) that would be the most sensible team; over to you NL.

26 Sep 2020 20:10:43
@rich T
Apart from Taylor that's a gd shout.

26 Sep 2020 20:45:20
broony is only 70% fit so he is in goals and barkas is on the bench. rich t now what is your team selection?

26 Sep 2020 20:58:12
Taylor would be the first name on the team sheet, if I was picking the team.

26 Sep 2020 22:30:33
Well thank f**k your no picking the team aindoh!

27 Sep 2020 07:57:40

There is a feel good factor and fearlessness at sevco

Not the same in the east end

Duffy could have been the catalyst for the feel good factor to return

He's helped but it doesn't go far enough

We need a lift

What will give us that?

A new eddy contract
A decent left sided experienced player

And

Neil lennon upping his game in terms of selections, in game management and his public mutterings

Simples.

26 Sep 2020 13:46:39
Feel good factor. They were screaming for gerrards head after the hibs game 😂.

26 Sep 2020 13:58:11
Most of the above although clearing out the unhappy element could also help moral. Although things may get worse before they get better if, for example we accept a big bid for Eddy and fail to replace with a significant standard of player?
The failure to bring in a natural left sided attacker has made 3-5-2 almost impossible and his rigid loyalty to Broony slows our play and reduces effectiveness of other midfield players; but he can't see it?
There's no doubt we need a lift and I would have liked it before tomorrows game, as Hibs are a more settled, efficient unit than us.

Kev 83 behave

I have yet to meet a sevco fan who doesn't fancy their chances this year and in part, it is because of Celtic's play . and their own

They are improving

Are we?

If we do not get a LWB or a LB for cover it would look amateurish and reflect very badly on NL hammond and lawell.

26 Sep 2020 14:41:02
Lubomirwho is a gullible and btw it's Lubomir Moravcik😉.

26 Sep 2020 14:46:40
Quote me on this, Celtic will win the league if we keep our current squad together. A couple more sisgnings will just make it easier.

The reason I say that is our first xi are better and our squad is larger than Rangers.

Rangers are currently playing the best they can and we have not eveN got out of second gear and if we win our game in hand we will be top of the league.

Now factor in the fact there is a reasonable possibility that Kent and/ or Morelos will be sold. If Kent goes they lack creativity and if Morelos goes they lack goals. If neither of them go they will be in financial peril when the season ticket money runs out around xmas.

Let Lubo spout this claptrap that the Rangers are coming. We have been hearing these empty boasts for years and we have won 11/ 11 trophies since they got to the SPFL for the first time in their history.

26 Sep 2020 15:06:21
They are having a record breaking start to their season . we are a bit out of form performance / consistency wise but only 1 point behind with a game in hand. which will I believe settle down once transfer window closes . I see nothing really worrying spl wise.

26 Sep 2020 15:56:13
Feàrlessness what a load of bollicks 😅😅.

26 Sep 2020 16:13:27
Lubo you don't half talk some bulldung. Twitter and their banter page of this site has been full of them calling for his head.

26 Sep 2020 20:13:13
Feel gd factor my ass.
Have you read there comments over at ipox.
McGregor saved there bacon. Few have acknowledged this over there.

26 Sep 2020 21:01:29
A good win against Hibs tomorrow, and everything will be hunky dory again, that's life they say.

27 Sep 2020 01:02:47
Love reading all about their feel good factor on their site, especially their celtic posts which brighten up the day. Here's a little example: "25 Sep 2020 14:36:36
Agree clubs in Scotland will be struggling financially Celtic included, wish I was as confident as yourself regarding Rangers financial position.
Season tickets and strip sales very good but similar to last season. Last season at the agm the board said £7m was needed to see out the season.
That was after full house euro qualifying rounds and group stage monies, a good few million, Also another 8k supporters at home games, hospitality and the likes.

This season without this income has to be hurting the club financially maybe more than other clubs with less overheads.

27 Sep 2020 08:02:00
We have to beat hibs first, and on our previous performances that's a big ask. Lennon has to get his team selection spot on today.

27 Sep 2020 10:00:56
Imo 4 4 2 barkas bit on Elham Duffy Taylor frimpong ajer options moisture the yeti eddy at Any time and I mean any time I think it's not working I would make change/ so 5 subs would not wait if needed hh.

26 Sep 2020 11:23:30
Been a bit quiet on the transfer front (both in and out) as we go into our tenth competitive game since the Bolingoli incident, without bringing in the left wide player we are looking for.
That's bad enough, but speculation about up to three players leaving is also hampering us with distracted players not giving 100% and possibly 'suitors' dragging it out, waiting to get a deadline day bargain with last minute bids?
Checking todays gossip pages, Eddy, Ajer and Ntcham are all rumoured to be targets in this 'window'?
Also, I see Charlton now have a new owner so maybe that will affect the Doughty situation; with the club apparently looking at loan options if a final bid is unsuccessful?
Deadline day can't come soon enough for all concerned, so we can try to settle down, with the best players for the right positions - happy to be here - playing as we can; Right?

26 Sep 2020 09:50:28
I think its vital we start playing Ajeti and Eddie together. They are top class and need a chance to develop a partnership. I also don't think there is enough drive in the middle 3 with Brown's legs gone and Nchamp only plays when he feels like it and Calmac is a more technical player. with Brown possibly injured and that in mind my team for Sunday would be all out attack.

Barkas

Frimpong

Bitton
Duffy
Ajer

Moi

Christie
Calmac
Turnball

Ajeti
Eddie

I know Moi at wingback is a risk but if he can play there we have really won a watch.

26 Sep 2020 10:42:18
Wouldn't fancy Moi up against Boyle at all. Ross has got Hibs playing some good stuff we need to take them seriously.

26 Sep 2020 10:47:44
That is very attacking, VERY

with that team

Score prediction Celtic 7 hibernian 3.

26 Sep 2020 13:14:04
To be honest l can see Lennon playing a back 4 against hibs. As has been said we have no real LWB and to play moi there is a big risk. Not the guy to do a lot of defence duty to be honest. As much as l love brown l hope he doesn't start and Turnbull starts. The team needs to start playing with pace and tempo from the start.

26 Sep 2020 14:25:20
Ter 161. I suppose like myself you have watched Brown for about 10;yrs . From my point of view the MSSM have told me regularly that Brown’s legs have gone and that he isn’t the player of the previous season . However Brown rarely disappoints me .

I have to confess I have seen very little of Turnball, in the flesh and especially not in the last 15 mths due to his injury . According to the same MSSM Turnball is the real thing, but should I believe them, have they Celtic’s interest at heart.
