Should be going 4-4-2 with Spencer & Gent at full-back with Casey and Blaney at centre-back. Midfield of Butcher + perm any 3 and 2 up front Biereth & Obika

 

Spencer and Gent look to be attacking wingbacks not defensive fullbacks so to put them in a 4-4-2 v Celtic would certainly get the manager the sack after a double figure humping. Especially with Casey and Blaney paired at centreback.

A good 15 minutes there after a poor start. We should be ahead. Liam Kelly looks like he has realised that he needs to take more responsibility in the box, he's playing well.

I can see these cheap bookings hurting us in the second half. No way McLean gives those cards unless it's against the away team at that Tattiedome. Celtic have got all the refs on strings.

This has all the makings of a repeat of the September game at Fir Park. Celtic below par, we’re not good enough to take advantage and they will eventually wear us down with their superior fitness and quality and the happy clappies will warble on about how we were “unlucky” and that “we played well”. 🙄

The end result will be the same though, we get fuck all.

Slattery booked for dangling arm but Ralston fouls Motherwell player on purpose to stop counter attack and doesn’t even get a finger wagging. Great save by Kelly to stop OG. Two decent chances for us. Defending well but we all know it’s just a matter of time. Let’s see if we can stop giving ball away so easy and actually give Mika a pass that he can do something with.

I've always credited McLean as being one of the better refs in our league but today he's been awful. Paton clearly fouled on the edge of our box and he gives handball against. Books Slattery for virtually nothing and then calls our foul further away from the Celtic box than the foul looked to be.
