With two St Mirren players, Jak Alnwick and an unnamed other, now confirmed Covid cases, it is highly probable the disease was transmitted within the St Mirren bubble. Despite this, their game with Hibs goes ahead tomorrow.
While I regularly criticise the Scottish Government for following the Westminster Government’s idiotic pandemic polices, including allowing fans to congregate indoors at pubs, but not in easily policed, socially distanced, outdoor arenas – which ALL the scientific evidence suggests is safer, I don’t think the Government have good options here.
With players’ kids now at school, it is impossible for them to live with their immediate family and keep all interactions within the football bubble. Infection will happen, we have to hope that the twice-weekly testing procedures keep contagion low. Where testing and responsible actions are taken, normal business practices should continue.
On this subject, download and use the Protect Scotland app. If we all used this, we would be living normal lives very soon. No personal data is harvested, you will protect those close to you and play your part in the wellbeing and economic recovery of the country. This is not a partisan SNP thing (although they have thankfully not followed Westminster on this occasion), it is a clear ethical imperative.
Get the app, save a life/save a job/just do the decent thing.
Onto even more important subjects, Celtic play their first competitive game in front of paying spectators in six months tomorrow. Ross County are fifth in the table, an impressive five points clear of the playoff place, but this flatters them. County opened the season with wins against Motherwell and at Hamilton, the league’s bottom two clubs, but they have collected only two points in their four games since losing to Dundee United and Livingston.
They have scored a single goal in every game, apart from against Kilmarnock, when a late penalty saw them score twice. Considering they have yet to face a team higher than sixth in the current table, I don’t think we can expect them to do much attacking tomorrow.
The major takeaway from this game will be whether Celtic improve their conversion of possession into chances and goals. For me, this issue has anchored more on our shape, than personnel, this season.

RC?
Ross County?
fekin hell, the team leaking mole in our dressing room is so effecrtive even our opponent knows our team the nite before
😱
i would love to see that team
but i find it impossible to believe NL would go for it
not enough scots in it for his liking
David66
hope your good mate.
I was seeing it as maybe something to experiment with.
it gives our new signings a chance to start.i suppose Broony will start,his drive is important and we need a result(as ever hoping).good to see fans back,jock wasn’t wrong
our bench the morra will be interesting as strikers all fit.rogic available?? a lot to be going on with,great there is a game
stay safe mate

I subscribe to the midweek St Mirren game being called off theory, the ten is really under threat from puppet masters at Hampden.
I also predict that if a team due to play Ecco loses half it’s starting eleven due to COVID the game will go ahead – MSM ‘we all have to move on and get back to normal’
Saint Stivs
Benny Lynch’s son Bobby is a member at The Bramalea Celtic SC.Very nice man.
lets all do the huddle
I wish folks on here weren’t so cavalier about leaking the team for tomorrow’s game.
Always remember, Alasdair is never far away.
The Hills have eyes and the Walls have ears.
Oh aye.
Ecco – what a typo, but maybe Echo is a better name for Sevco?
Barkas
Elhamed Duffy Ajer Taylor
Forrest Broonie Calmac Elyounoussi
………….. Edouard Klimala…….
….and, as RC said, what about all the others ?
I know he is not as expert as many CQNers but thank goodness we have Neil Lennon.

i would be stocked and shunned if that was actually the team
though i would like to think we should have enough about us to win tomorow whether Ross County know the team or not
in the 6 nations they have to give their team out 2 days in advance. totally different scenario i know.
though when we play in europe for example then i would rather the leakers stopped. but they wont.
AT – I am well D thanks.
exactly Lenny has a real good squad just now, there is no excuses.
The team/ bench will be interesting.
I cannot wait to see the bhoys again and will be purchasing the game in the morning.
I hope sky I mean Ross county tv can cope.
I owe you a drink and hopefully sometime in the future I can repay you’re generosity when the 3 amigos (that turned into 4)😂 were out.
Stay safe
D :)

Worked in the dry grinding unit used all the colours.
Never went home dirty we got PAID 40mins at the end of our shift to shower.
I knew some guys though who when their pores opened would leak red,yellow or blue.
KEEP THE FAITH
You’re talking 15 players there
Lot more combinations
You’d need an Algorithm to cover all the bases
Or the bets when I think about it
The couple of Aberdeen fans shown on Reporting Scotland looked genuinely chuffed to be going to their game tomorrow. I hope the two experiments ( Dons and Staggies) are a resounding success.
Like nearly everyone, I don`t know enough about Covid 19 to give a meaningful opinion but my feeling is that crowds at football stadia could be manged at least as safely as visits to the shops and pubs.

Are they getting in fur free?
Celtic Mac
No but, unlike the pubs and shops, the football is free once you are in !
Wishful thinking but I would love to see us go 5-0 up after an hour then use all five substitutes in one go !
.
Celtic Mac
I just realised you were talking of the Dons fans and their legendary closeness to their money !

now you’re talking
so the number of combinations of 11 players from the list of his 15 players is
15!
divided by
11! x (15 – 11)!
which is
15 x 14 x 13 x 12
divided by
4 x 3 x 2 x 1
which equals
1365 combinations (maybe)

Absolute rubbish.

Hope it’s a success at both games.
Even though it’s largely symbolic
Nuhin wrang wi cymbals in my book
So having switched off for a few days, had a look today to see what the news was as we have a game tomorrow. Apparently the biggest issue is whether there will be supporters at the ‘old firm game in October’. How depressing.
lets all do the huddle
No no no no
I was referring to the six nations that you referred to earlier
How many possible combos can you line up wi 15 players?

I must have missed that `biggest issue`.

well, 1 obviously
which is exactly the number of beers too many i am planning on having tonight
😄
oh
and if you want to see my working sir…
15!
divided by
15! x (15 – 15)!
which is
1
divided by
0!
so 1 divided by 1
which = 1
thank you
👏👏👏
If you have 15 different possible routes how many possible options
i cant believe folk on here get upset about others not spelling players names right
fek sake man
firstly, its a blog, not a spelling test. the importance is in the comment, not the spelling
secondly, the players are on thousands a week, yet most of them probably couldnt spell our names correctly, and we are the ones who pay a large part of their wages
as billy konlay said “matters not a jot”
Apparently, the number of combinations available when changing the order of a queue of eighty is greater than all the atoms in the universe.
Anyway, time for me to go elsewhere….
Cheeio until Match Day.

I cannot find the answer for 15 delivery points
But 20 is 51,000,000,000,000,
And 25 is 15 trillion trillion
80? Apparently it is known as a ‘combinatorial explosion’
Oh Aye

It is courtesy to spell our players names correctly. It fair rips ma knitting, when I see their name spelt incorrectly.
I had a teacher at Corpus Christi Knightswood who hammered me for 3 years about my spelling. Blame her for my spelling ocd. 😊
Bet there is a spelling error in this post. 😜

Was that three years non-stop
Or did she take a break?

Found this tweet (and subsequent chat) amusing.

Also my name Garry is always spelt incorrectly. It annoys me.
Petty? Maybe? 😊
