My solution for the time being if I was manager would be to strengthen the team up a bit.
I would move Scales to LB, so a back four of AJ, CCV, Rocki, Scales when fit.
I would also move Taylor to cdm and move Calmac up 1. Also have Tomoki and Taylor fight it our for that position.
Taylor is very comfortable in there and loves a tackle. Wud also eliminate other teams targeting our lb position.
Good height in defence which would help set pieces against which we look nervous on. Maybe even set pieces for.
Play Oreilly as a 10 as he is the best at pressing successfully, often nicks the ball and gets him in the box often. Play kyogo up top with Idah on the left.
Idah looks more comfortable facing the goal and running at players, play a sinclair role if you will. He is not a goal scorer naturally and may suit him more. Also helpful at set pieces for and against.
On the right i would play Palma, yes I know he is very hit and miss but he would be given a specific role of getting the ball into the box quickly as possible. His best asset is crossing, so would have Kyogo, Idah and Orielly busting to get in as soon as Palma gets the ball. Palmas instructions would be 1 touch then cross. Simples.

When can you start?

Well though out, as Oab said, When can you start, please send all information to Celtic Park, for the attention of Brendan Rodgers.

Wouldn't argue with that Rayman.

Should have tried scales at lb long before now, especially when Taylor was out.

Would also think of putting Ralston in with CalMac. He can put his foot in and isn't scared of a tackle. Could be cover for right back later on in the game.

Scales should have moved to LB when Taylor went off on Saturday with Nawrocki taking his place at CB. Don't know why BR couldn't see this as it's hardly rocket science.

I am sure Vosabhoy, BR would have thought about it, but may have been reluctant to have 3 non regulars out of 4 in defence with 2 playing out of normal position . Welsh and Scales .
I am sure in hindsight BR would also be tempted to go with your defence . However in the previous game a lot of supporters rated Bernabei very highly . He was excellent at taking ball away from own goals bringing it into other half and passing to team mate .
He wasn’t alone responsible for goal, poor work defending ball earlier by a central defender left Kilmarnock man clear to have plenty of time to make cross, that was unbelievably bad defending.
