Lobey_Dosser Posted February 17, 2017 Report Share Posted February 17, 2017 Putting the Aberdeen performance to one side, the prospect of Tierney and Sinclair running at young McMillan is a daunting one. We are unlikely to fare much better on the left either, with an inform Forrest or Roberts going at a half fit Hammell (and/or Jules/Chalmers). Think we'd all be content with a relatively spirited performance here and hopefully we can come away with a respectable result against a very good Celtic team. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay Posted February 17, 2017 Report Share Posted February 17, 2017 Although we are always defensive at Celtic Park, usually trying to keep it tight and hope we can nick a goal, I think tomorrow could be ultra backs to the wall as McGhee sets us out for a purely damage limitation job. He's been over-the-top defensive in his team selection and line-ups at the best of times this season, never mind for a visit to Celtic Park a few days after conceding seven at Pittodrie. Unfortunately, on the back of the Aberdeen game, I think we're in a situation where any defeat by three goals or less will be considered a small victory. To be fair, given my last visit to Celtic Park was 7-0 last season and I'm going tomorrow, a defeat by three goals or less might be considered a small victory by me too... But aye, I expect us to basically spend 90 minutes just trying to stop Celtic from scoring, with very little thought about much more than that, and we'll end up losing by about 4 or 5.

wellowell Posted February 17, 2017 Report Share Posted February 17, 2017 Anyone going tomorrow deserves a huge pat on the back as I can't even bare to watch it on the TV and will go into hiding for 2 hours and just start the suffering at 5 pm instead of watching game through fingers .

StipeIsGod Posted February 17, 2017 Report Share Posted February 17, 2017 Anywhere between 5 and 7 conceded. I hope we get a goal for any hardy souls who make the trip, however. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

milo Posted February 18, 2017 Report Share Posted February 18, 2017 Minus the enforced absence of Tait, it's good to see the same defenders that shipped 7 goals retain their places. That'll teach them to be so lacklustre. We've also added some pace in Clay to compliment Lasley in the middle. As I said earlier, minus Pearson, the January window seen us merely strengthen the bench. Which was obviously an area that needed strengthening..... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That'll teach them to be so lacklustre. We've also added some pace in Clay to compliment Lasley in the middle. Some truth in that. I thought Jules might have been favoured ahead of Hammell but thats not the case. We'll play narrowly in the middle with Hammy being exposed. I would have thought that Lucas and perhaps Campbell might have been selected ahead of Clay and Lasley. Again I can see our midfield being swamped. Presumably MacDonald will play deeper behind Moult as opposed to beside him? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burn_Broomfield Posted February 18, 2017 Report Share Posted February 18, 2017 This is going to one almighty scudding. If you could pick a team not to play this Celtic side away, this wouldn't be far removed from most supporters choices. 8-0 Celtic, conceding in the first 10 minutes.

CoF Posted February 18, 2017 Report Share Posted February 18, 2017 As much as Hammell has had some really poor games recently, with Mcmillan coming in I can only assume Mcghee didn't fancy a back 4 with very inexperienced players at rb as well as lb. Makes sense to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milo Posted February 18, 2017 Report Share Posted February 18, 2017 But seriously, a midfield pairing of Lasley and Clay?!?!?! Neither can pass, create, run, retain possession, yet given our options, and even with McHugh out there still are several, this is what McGhee goes with?!??
