I think starting both KC and SJ is a statement of intent from Ronny.
‘I pick the team,no-one else.’
Both players should be nowhere near the ground today,TBH. KC for his indiscipline-regardless of whether,like me,you agree with his reasons-and SJ because of current form.
However,had he made either of those decisions,they would have driven the narrative.
IMO,he has told both of them that they owe him a performance. The ball is in their court to show their gratitude.

Good timing with the new article-post XXXX was just about due on the previous one!
Baffled by that team and the bench, but I know nada.
Is Janko injured ?
Hopefully 3 points and a good performance today from Celtic
Thanks Paul
I just made my appeal foe CQN commentary for the great disconnects and you slip up the new article!
Anyway boys – relying on you to-day as I have no sound or vision
Who will make their first Celtic start? Scott Allan or Ryan Christie?
Hail Hail from a very sparse Cletic Park. Interesting selections. Players who need to perform today
Jo Hansen
GMS
KC
Players deserving a start
Rogic
Wish Armstrong would get a game in the middle of the park
I predict a chant of One Kris Commons. I predict I won’t join in.

There’s a famous urban myth about Bill Shankly crashing his car in The Mersey Tunnel,only to be rescued by Everton’s Alan Ball and his wife.
Seems The Liverpool Echo headline was…
‘Shankly Pulled Out By The Balls’
Hope yer fine and dandy,bud. And got a better view ten minutes from now than I will manage!
BCMW broke blog with Balls!
For anyone who missed teams
JOZO Simunovic will make his home debut for Celtic today as the champions prepare to host Dundee United in the league at Paradise.
The Croatian defender is one of three changes made to the team that lost to Molde in the UEFA Europa League on Thursday evening as the Celts look to extend their lead at the top of the table over Aberdeen with victory over Mixu Paatelainen’s side this afternoon.
Twenty-one-year-old Simunovic made his first appearance in the 2-2 draw against Ajax in the Europa League last month and will now make his domestic bow in today’s Premiership clash.
Ronny Deila has also brought Kieran Tierney and Gary Mackay-Steven in to the starting XI in place of Emilio Izaguirre and Nir Bitton.
Kick-off is at 3pm and there will be live pre-match build-up and in-game updates via the official Celtic Twitter account @celticfc
