I would field an understrength team against Bologna and keep players fresh for the hearts game. Hearts game is a must win if we want to win the league.

It's sad you even have to suggest that Joe, we should have enough in the first team and bench to put out strong teams in both matches.
Watching Hearts today, they are not a great side but know how to win. At our best we should be too good for them but we need to be at our best and take our chances, which means we need a goalscorer.
Our window signings are going to decide where the league ends up imo.

Hearts finished in the bottom 6 last season and failed to Qualify for Europe this season.
Who is feeding the computer to put Celtic away to Hearts twice a few days after European games?
11 Jan 2026 16:55:13
I agree that it is sad but it's the sad reality of our calamitous season.
11 Jan 2026 17:13:13
Strongest XI everytime, but I agree the Hearts game is more important!
11 Jan 2026 17:18:26
Must be the refs.

Get a morale boosting win against Bologna and that will help the players when it comes to Hearts.

Are we all forgetting about Falkirk on Wednesday, that won't be a stroll, Falkirk going well.

I'm not taking anything for granted Stevie. We have made this season hard for ourselves.

100% agree. Europe doesn't matter now. Use these games to get some minutes for Sinisalo, bollockwisha, Murray, and hopefully surraxhi and I'nacho.

I'm honestly more confident now than at any time previously about us getting title, hearts will stay consistent I think until march time, by then the Glasgow teams should be out of Europe etc and pressure will mount on hearts ( looking at their season so far, everything has went in their favour and I believe they'll start failing ).
Sevco, I think depends on who they sign, any quality additions could lift them but there team right now I don't see as an overall threat, they're on a run ( a run that includes pretty normal performances and some bad ones and some wins against Aberdeen that even Nancy gave a going over ) for Celtic some quality additions where needed and consistency will see us gain form I have no doubt, Joe I agree feck Europe use it for some mins in legs of important players but whatever team plays achinleck i'd try and get same out on Thursday if there in Europe squad.

I was more confident before Nancy arrived.

Bologna game is irrelevent.
The league is the priority, but as Weejoe says, this is self inflicted.
They need to get a striker in before the Hearts game.

Play your best team every time it establishes continuity, and builds teamwork and player interaction.
11 Jan 2026 22:23:00
It's a ridiculous suggestion to play a weakened team.
