I'd try this against the Arabs before the Klan.
Hazard
Ajer Duffy Juilen Taylor
McGreggor Soro Turnbull
Johnston Edouard Griffiths
Right in about them and in their faces from kick-off to the last whistle.

I would play the same lineup as this Saturday
Hazard
Ajer, Jullian, Bitton, Laxalt
Christie, Soro, McGregor
Turnbull
Griffiths, Edouard.
That team will win both games.
But Celtic could be in trouble if we play Duffy, Brown and Frimpong on Saturday.

Duffy? Are you mental? Better off with my cat in the team. Duffy is an unmitigated disaster. No way should he play again for us, and definitely not at Ibrox, he's utter rank.

Totally agree Buzzbomb.
That's our strongest 11 at this moment in time.

Magicpole as I says in an earlier post ‘I know I know’ before I even said it. And I know where you’re coming from I can still see him playing them on side in the first game and the keystone cops defending against Ross County if I remember. But I just think he could give us a bit of dig against them who will be well up for it and he’s also a threat at set pieces. I could be 100% wrong and he could have another howler but my gut feeling is to try that formation against the Arabs with a view to playing him against the Klan. But I take your point. It’s all about opinions.

A threat from set pieces is an interesting point JFP. Especially with quality delivery from, hopefully, Griffiths and Turnbull.
28 Dec 2020 20:25:32
Buzz I would go with your team but put Taylor at lb.

I just don’t see how we are going to cope with Sevcos aerial threat at set pieces. Our CB’s and Hazard give me the fear when a decent ball is crossed in and hate to say it but their delivery on either side is generally on the money.
I do think they can be got at despite their defensive record with Griffiths and Edouard up top they will take the chances that Hibs and others failed to convert.

GGGG
Our players can’t give away too many cheap free kicks.
I don’t think Madden will give them the 15 free kicks Beaton gave them in our own half in the October match.

Id like us to play 4231 with brown and soro protecting the defence.
Hazard
Taylor julien duffy ajer
Brown. Soro
Turnbull mcgregor moi/ christie
Eddy
Could even drop eddy back play griff upfront with eddy behind picking up the ball move mcgregor instead of moi/ christie.

A threat at set pieces but a liability in central defence, if the opposition exploit his defensive frailties, panic might grow throughout the team and there might not be many set pieces to exploit.
I would rather he got the defensive side of his game sorted out, than him being picked because he is a threat at set pieces.
