With the horrendous amount of games we are in the middle of, we need to prioritise for the next 6 games. We need fresh legs for the 2 most important YB and Villa . I'm glad to hear that Khun and Maeda won't play tomorrow. The Killie Cup game probably is the 3rd most important. Dropping a few points over the 3 league games wouldn't be the end of the world with our 15pt cushion if it meant we had a fresh team for CL games.
{Ed007's Note - Fresh legs you say, caling KT... not eligible for the CL, so try and keep him fit for the Killie SC game and the next Derby in March...

Really, thinking its OK to drop points is madness. Once you get into that cycle it's hard to get back.
That kind of thinking is not in BR or the teams toolkit.
We keep going on about your strength in depth, well now is the tie is test that.
The lack of a winter break is affecting all SPFL teams but the Pub League also are affected by it, so our bench will be severely tested but we should be up to it.
We will sill have Valle and Taylor and we go with what we have and we do not Consider drawing or losing.

I just hope the whole KT thing breaks down, 35k a week could be spent better elsewhere.

Hopefully Celtic have already Qualified for the playoffs before we play Villa.

Maeda, If it meant we could field a full strength relatively refreshed team in CL then I would gladly give up a few league points. The leagues won . relax man.

That's true Buzz might be another dead rubber game. I would like to get it right up the Pub league though?.

Maeda can struggle at the tight grounds and can't remember him having many good games at RC but brendan will want to win every game, villa hopefully is a dead rubber.

The most important thing is for Celtic to get the whole of their current ist team squad fit and ready so that BR can control his squad and get rest time into players legs and still know exactly what he is putting on to:pitch . If he forced to play new untried signings who may not be up and ready fit into our system of play we may run into the difficulties.
