SteelmaninOZ Posted Monday at 12:35 AM Report Share Posted Monday at 12:35 AM Three weeks to discuss before the game in case anyone is upset with the team 😇 See this game is on sky will it affect our home crowd? Hopefully a return of our injured players and someone up front to score goals Will we win this one? MJC? COYW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grizzlyg Posted Monday at 05:57 AM Report Share Posted Monday at 05:57 AM I think there could be a different manager in away dug out by then but this will still be a very tough ask. All we ask is AJ gets his line-up correct and there is a big improvement from the players and hopefully we can get a great result Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kmcalpin Posted Monday at 07:34 AM Report Share Posted Monday at 07:34 AM It will be a different kind of challenge to the ones we've faced recently. Celtic won't adopt a low block. However that means our team must show aggression, physicality and competitiveness. Are they capable of that? Also no free gifts please. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We won't know if the lineup is correct until we see how the game plays out. That's the benefit of sitting in the stands. We get to say "I'd have picked a different lineup" after we see how the game plays out. As is the case when we play Celtic at any point, the result of the game will largely be dictated by how Celtic play. If they come out on fire and they're right up for it it doesn't really matter what we do. The gulf in class and depth in squad usually means we'll see a Celtic win. We need them to be at less than their best, and us to be on our game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really want williams back in line up, he looked good before injury and could link up well with longelo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJC Posted Monday at 12:47 PM Report Share Posted Monday at 12:47 PM I’ve seen absolutely nothing from us to suggest that we are capable of taking anything from Celtic, who by the looks of it will likely have a new manager in place for this one. 0-2 defeat 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richie Posted Monday at 02:47 PM Report Share Posted Monday at 02:47 PM Half in agreement with MJC here. They will either go long to Høgh who will be allowed to grapple and bundle our defenders at will, or will use Duran's pace. We should look to take McGregor out of the game and control midfield. Their defence is a riot and A Thor or Seb could cause havoc in the box. Bear in mind also the refs will give them everything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prestwickwell Posted Monday at 03:14 PM Report Share Posted Monday at 03:14 PM Honestly think McGregors done, looks miles off the pace in the old firm games think Duran looks the danger & as you say there defence is all over the place fancy us to get a point, 1-1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texanwellfan Posted Monday at 04:05 PM Report Share Posted Monday at 04:05 PM If we beat them I think that will be the end for O’Neil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grizzlyg Posted Monday at 04:30 PM Report Share Posted Monday at 04:30 PM Hogh was the new Larsson according to some sellik fans after his hat trick v killie. I dont think he has scored since so a certainty to score against us 🤪🤪 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joewarkfanclub Posted Monday at 04:38 PM Report Share Posted Monday at 04:38 PM Given that its nearly 3 weeks to the Celtic game, its pretty hard to predict what version of either side will show up, so predicting how the game is gonna go is pretty pointless. The players are getting a few days off this week to go see their families, so I would have thought that with that and a couple of weeks on the training pitch, then there should be some clearer heads and a greater sense of purpose within the squad. However, it doesnt always turn out that way and we will still have 1 or 2 away on international duty. Certainly JT and Paulsen are away, not sure if Ive missed anyone else? As for Celtic, will MON even be their manager by then? I kinda hope he is because there definitely seems to be a malaise in the East End of Glasgow, and I selfishly wouldnt want them having a new manager bounce against us! I note the game is a 12 noon Sunday ko, which will undoubtedly also have an impact. Lets see what happens between now and then. Just please, no more training ground injuries to key players!

David Posted Monday at 04:38 PM Report Share Posted Monday at 04:38 PM Like many Bodø/Glimt players, he's struggling after leaving the club. They play a certain way, and it suits certain players, but clearly taking someone from that approach and trying to shoehorn him into the way O'Neill's teams tend to play isn't proving to be all that effective to this point.

Same with some our players, will take time to get used to new system and league. We paid big money for Hodge and Kanga especially and I have no doubt they will come good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it looks like he is seriously considering his future right now and even aside that I just don’t see us having what it takes to trouble them. But then again I thought the same ahead of 22/05/05… 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mio Posted Tuesday at 10:24 AM Report Share Posted Tuesday at 10:24 AM Let’s hope Maloney is in charge for this one. I never used to have any issues with him but his antics at the side of the park and shouts to our dug out and our fans in the POD at that last home game has turned me against him for life. Odious wee runt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything we take from that game is a bonus, thought I expect a defeat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think SOD looked lack of fitness in his last game, it's not the ideal choice and I think if SOD had 30 min runouts last few games I would agree. I think it's too tough an ask. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
