We have literally beaten Rangers twice at Ibrox in the last 2 seasons with teams that were much poorer than this one, having failed to do so in the previous 27 years. We havent beaten Celtic at Parkhead for a while, but we have had a couple of creditible draws. Again with much poorer teams than this. Nobody is getting carried away here. No one is saying we are going to pump Celtic, we may well lose. But if you cant allow yourself to have just a little hope right now, Im not sure when you can. Isnt that what following a shite wee diddy club is all about? PS you do know we have scored more goals than Celtic this season, despite not having a striker like Higdon or KVV?

Im delighted to be in October and not lost a competitive game whilst playing attractive football. win/lose/draw tomorrow I'm hopeful that we give a good account of ourselves . Getting something from the game would be an excellent outcome.

Heard it all before I’m afraid. ”There for the taking” ”We’ll never have a better chance” ”They’re playing shite we’re playing well” And I’ve yet to see us ‘take’ either one of the Old Firm when they’ve supposedly been there for it. Maybe if we had a goalscorer as I said like a Higdon, KvV or Moult to take the chance that you need to take when it comes we’d be in with a shout, but we simply don’t have that in our side. And at the back we are weak, even weaker without Welsh and were very lucky not to have been a couple of goals down against Aberdeen at half time last week. We would not have got away with that against Celtic, regardless of how poor they are by their standards. Too many of our fans are getting carried away with themselves.

I’m going with ……….. Celtic 2 Motherwell 3

Sounded like it may be more than McGinn back too, depending on late fitness assessments. If McGinn isn't ready to start, I'd be more inclined to have Johnny K, SOD, Longelo and Gordon as the back 4 rather than put in Balmer - but I'm sure JBA has already figured out what he wants,

It is. But we have McGinn back, so that should soften the blow a little. Id be more concerned with Balmer partnering Gordon.

Not having Welsh available is a blow Thought he was excellent last weekend

The gaffer said

We will miss having Welsh at the back so it will be tough for us on Sunday. Even with Celtic below par this will most likely be our hardest test of the season so far. Even if Just is available again, he’s just recovering from injury amd probably a bit rusty. Slattery still out, so we are down by 30% on starting outfield players. Having said that, the team is still capable of putting up a good show but will it be good enough to take 1 or 3 points ? If there are no silly mistakes in defense and if we pick this week to improve on converting our chances we might just come away with a point or three! COYW!!!!

This is not a social request. You've made spurious allegations and we'd like to follow up with you.

Malpas's time in charge could be described as being No.2!! Ba boom

And sometimes they happen for a reason. See also Wimmer having to return to his family! 🧡❤️🧡

I sometimes lose hope there's good I the world then reading someone has paid to meet Kettlewell and wound up meeting JBA it reminds you......good things do happen

We’ll not be losing this game, that Celtic side is becoming poorer by the week, they have a manager working his ticket out of there, they have a reliance on players who are getting too old and a fan base who are becoming even more toxic than the other lot in the other side of the city. If we can play as we can and how we did v hearts we will do fine.

Lausanne need to get Davor on loan to carry Theo's bags and make him smile in training! The big man has never been the same since the bromance was broken up! Auxerre take note!

Celtic fans are currently hounding their board anyway due to the perceived lack of investment over the summer and their Champions League exit. The last 2 games wont have helped their mood, but its not going to have any influence on where their support is at in general. And where the support is at will have a much bigger influence on the teams performance than 2 bad results. Lets not try and pretend this Celtic team is anywhere near peak Rodgers. If we play to our best we have a very good chance in this game. Lets concentrate on that and ignore Celtic for once.

I definitely thought that whilst watching. He was hand picked by the club so isnt Jens man. Wouldnt be a huge surprise, albeit, Im always a bit warey of a no.2 being promoted to manager. I think its called Malpas Syndrome! Shame Max looks a bit like Malpas as well. Thats not gonna help my phobia!

Call yourself a fan? 🤣🤣🤣

I should pay more attention

He's our assistant manager who, in the Meet the Manager session, said he also wants to play the same style of football and has ambitions to be a manager.

No clue who Max Rogers is so I don’t know if that’s a real option or a joke that’s over my head

Not too much we can do about it at the moment except hope things start to click and if not hopefully our defence will hold up. Welsh is helping in that respect but no use for this game.

At the meet the manager event it felt like Max Rogers is JBA's successor when the latter moves on....as he will.

I'm only posting this here publicly so you'll see it. Is your registered email address current?

Yes that’s absolutely fair comment. And that’s why winning on Saturday was all the more satisfying because we had been on the wrong side of goalkeeper errors in those games. But looking at our team we are badly lacking up front. AP needs at least half a dozen chances before he converts one and his first touch always seems to let him down. Even RCC was guilty of a poor miss at Pittodrie the previous week before he scored his worldy. Maswanhise is our talisman and our best hope of converting opportunities if we’re being honest. It’s a frustrating one because if this team had a KvV, Moult, Bair or first spell Tony Watt then chances are we would be sitting with far more points on the board from the games played so far.
