The forward line justifiably attracts most of criticism in the team, but the most glaring concern for me is how Celtic are in possession in the middle of the park. Too often at Dens on Sunday, we were unable to string five passes together, players were uncomfortable on the ball and resorted to speculative forward plays which inevitably ended in lost possession.
The surface and environment can have an impact. Four of remaining six league games are at Celtic Park, while the Scottish Cup semifinal is on the equally good pitch at Hampden. Callum McGregor was fit enough to complete the Dundee game, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain played over an hour; Martin even had enough options to leave Reo Hatate on the bench.
A Celtic win aside, the key metric I will measure tomorrow is how we take the ball out of defence and progress it through the St Mirren press. Teams who do this control play and inoculate themselves from random results. Get this right and the forward line will make chances and score goals.

Splashdown…….
I feel like a wee tea cake ..
Tunnocks add persons dream 👍🥴😂
Good morning all. Gerrintaethum Celtic!!!!
First of 3 consecutive games in Glasgow today.
And hopefully the first of three victories….
Are you going Celticmac?
Nervous so much passed my seat on for the today compound with fact I thought the match was ramora my minds swimming & I must say the last game at Dundee should have been out of sight by half time but Tam isn’t clinical when one on one unless its a penalty at Ibrox which we knew already.
Must play Maeda in the middle I feel we have got him playing well in the past few games and bring on Ineacho with 20>30 to go.
Midfield is Calmac fully fit let’s hope so I would think we will see Reo today after being rest and I would love to see Ox dominate and also Sarrachi at right back.
Cmon Martin get them pumped and let’s get a 2 goal early lead and be able to build and get some of the underperformers firing.
🙏
