Celtic need to play two up front from the start today not Eddy on his lonesome and waiting until we're needing a minor miracle.
I think Sutton is spot on that Griffiths is the man to spark life into an under performing Eddy. Sutton is certainly qualified by experience with respect to playing two up front beside a quality partner. The benefits were evident during the week. Even Mikey gives us a spark up front as does Kimala or even Ajeti but Eddy is no lone front man.
I am no football tactician in the slightest but I just don't get playing with one striker in domestic football ever.
One game at a time Celtic.
Focus on our own game and forget about anybody else playing today. If we play to our capabilities over the remainder of the season other results will be what they'll be and will take care of themselves.
C'mon the Hoops! HH.

I don’t think it would be wise to play a 4-4-2 at Ibrox with the diamond in midfield.
It would be too narrow and would give their fullbacks more time to put our defence under pressure with cross balls.
I would like to see a 4-5-1 similar to our victory there last season.
Try and boss the midfield and stop them from overlapping down the wings and Celtic can take it from there.
Celtic prevented them from having any clear cut chances for the full 90 minutes last September.
I would like to see the same and protect our young keeper better.
Lennon can always change it as the game progresses but I would like to see us start with a 4-5-1 formation.

BB I agree 4 midfielders in a diamond makes us narrow and they have width which is problematic but Eddy is a lost soul up front?

Sevco have recently played Davis, Arfield, Kamara, Aribo against Celtic in the last 3 games, they have used Barker and Kent in the last game, they have also used Kent and Defoe, they go for the experienced older Davis and Arfield, and others used upfront as the ones that they think will be the main goal scorers, along with either Roofe or Morelos, Celtic have Brown, Mc Gregor, as our experience midfield, And Turnbull and Soro as the young players with loads of energy, whoever we have to play on the left and right hand side, will have to be really up for this game, if they are Celtic can win.

If we match their midfield with soro poss broony Callum turnbull Christie then it's up to our full backs to match theirs.

I would play a 4-5-1
Hazard
Ajer. Jullian. Bitton. Laxalt
Christie. Turnbull. Soro. McGregor. Elyounoussi
Edouard.

Rangers have outplayed us with 451 so for sure we do not play that formation
Stick to 442 as we are winning and keeping clean sheets.

Buzz, i would be delighted if lennon put that team out. The only change i might make is griffiths instead of edouard.
