Gordon will probably start today, unfortunately, but he should be informed he’ll be tarred and feathered if he ever tries to dribble again.

Maybe. But I wouldn't be surprised to see Sparrow, SOD, McGinn and Longelo starting.

That’s the other logical option, but I think he views Sparrow as more of a versatile impact sub for games like today. Plus SOD is a far better defensive RB.

I wouldnt have Gordon near it.

Celtic will isolate him and press him when he has the ball, much like we did with Hanley.

However, the ball over Sparrows head in behind has proved a weakness as well, so will be interesting to see what Jens prefers......

Gordon starting in defence doesn’t inspire confidence but the reality is we’re short on options so don’t really have any alternative.

However today pans out it’s going to be a big wake up call and reality check for anyone who seriously believes we are in any sort of contention for the league title. It’s absolute pie in the sky stuff because we are ten points behind the side in top spot and have failed to beat both Hearts and Rangers in five attempts between both of them and haven’t won away against any of the top six sides.

It’s all well and good citing really good performances and “could have, should have” beaten Rangers twice at FP, “could have, should have” beaten Hearts at Tynecastle and “could have, should have” taken at least a point the last time we played at Celtic Park.

The common theme from all of those games is “could have, should have, did not”.

It’s been a good season and we’ve been great to watch but there is a limit to how good this team actually is and I think we have peaked now.
