It is difficult to overstate the importance of Sunday’s cup final to Motherwell. They have won as many major trophies in the last 65 years as Celtic have won European Cups in the same period. What an opportunity they have.
Sunday might be just another final to you and me, or more importantly, to the Celtic players, but it is a date with destiny for all at Motherwell.
Right now, Celtic players will still be de-escalating emotions from Wednesday night. It is difficult to switch from one emotional peak straight into an equally intense state, but if we do not find our sharpness or thought and body, the Invincible trail will end this weekend.
I don’t think that will happen; there should be a backlash from Celtic. The open wounds from Wednesday will be used as fuel. The players have been slapped about by the hurt of defeat and will want to avoid a repeat on a national cup final. If Motherwell want to win, score a goal, or if they even want to pass the ball, they will have to operate at a level they have only attained for seconds this season.
The stakes are as high for both teams. Let’s hope the matter is decided without controversy.
Have a great and memorable day at Hampden.

I have a feeling Brendan will spring a surprise tomorrow mind you, Ntcham could start, as could McGregor and we may go with a back 3. Would expect Motherwell will defend deep and narrow, only pressing when the ball is inside their half. The key therefore will be width, something we didn’t do well enough at Ross County last week.

I remember Phils debut at Firhill by all accounts all his injuries were because of his long strides ?
Faboulous talent and very sad story for any young father
Gerry,
He is a Motherwell legend, but he was, and his family is Celtic to the core.
I think Brendan will play both Sinclair & the Griff from the start tomorrow no need for Moussa to hold the ball up against Well, play the Bhoys who will win you the game ….
Sinky, Roberts. Leigh & Moussa :-)
The Timreapee
Big pitch at Hampden, will suit our wide players hopefully.
I’m still on the lookout for one ticket tomorrow, if anyone is in a position to help ?

Tommy Burns probably saw Phil O’Donnell in himself, although Phil could run he couldn’t twist or turn :-)
TTR,
Armstrong this season has struggled to find his form…..has his head been turned by the EPL….I don’t know…..but it’s N’tcham for me….better all-round game ;-))

I don’t think SA has been that bad, he’s a nailed on starter tomorrow i think. The goals will come.

Tommy is my top Celt that I have saw just for his Celticness :-)
That wee bam Kieran Tierney is threatening Tommy’s top place in my heart :-)
No way will Brendan start with the Griff and Moussa, why change a winning formula.
The pitch at hampden is no bigger than many pitches in the league, it’s the same size as our pitch for example, this lie has been peddled for long enough, it’s simply not true.
Anyways, sleep well Timland.
A massif shout to supporters club ticket conveners everywhere. It’s a thankless task however they do a a fantastic job. Hh
MARSPAPA-10:28pm it goes without saying!well I should:any plans tomorrow mate
See all you bams calling out Packie Bonner as a ” Soup Taker” you need to get a grip. The man is Celtic through and through.
I’ve never been a lover of the league cup. A largely meaningless trophy. However if we win it tomorrow it will go a huge way to winning the ‘double treble’. Hh
FAIRHILL BHOY
I was hoping you and GUTENBERG would take me for a swallee :))
My plans will depend on what “Big Burd” A-K-A the ” Beast ” has planned for me ….Asda first thing then who knows .
Howz about you ?
Ps….i was toying with the idea of getting a team the gether and gatecrashing SIPSINIS hoose for tge game ;)
LBA Mr Bonners comments about Celtic would suggest otherwise. Hh
