Opportunity for squad to prove their worth tonight

248

Team selection for tonight’s game will be a big call for Brendan Rodgers. His desire to get players fully match fit will be tempered with the need for limbs to rest. I expect to see a much-changed side against Kilmarnock, perhaps with Kundai Benyu, Kristoffer Ajer and Eboue Kouassi getting a start.

There is a risk in dropping top players, especially in cup competitions, but some risks have to be taken.

The other important matter is the getting the sugar in our tea, otherwise known as Leigh Griffiths, on full sharpness for next week’s visit of Astana. I’d expect Leigh to get an hour tonight.

  5. What I’ve never been able to understand is…..

     

    For decades, Celtic supporters, knew but, couldny prove that we were, robbed and mibberied, on and off the pitch.

     

    But now, we’ve got all this evidence and, the dugs in the street, who’ve always knew we were, institutionally cheated, coz ah always tell them, and yet, its left to a handful of, Res:12 Rebels to wage this war.

     

    Don’t the Celtic supporter base, and I’m talking specifically about, the 53,000 season ticket paying fans, need to stop and realize that, by paying Celtic PLC this money, then, the longer this cheating will go on. Because, let’s face it, as long as Celtic PLC take your money, they’ll do hee haw about the cheating, and, as a consequence, if the SFA / SPFL don’t see the threat of a challenge from the, Celtic PLC, then, there will be no smoking gun at they’re heids either, so, they don’t need to act. Hence the “real” reason why, the PLC recruited Brendan….imho.

     

    So, in effect, the more the Celtic fans support they’re club, the longer the cheating will go on, no matter how many mountains of evidence are presented.

     

    Its an awfy strange wee country right enough.

     

    C’mon Mr Apathy, seems like your the last hope.

     

    ……off-oot.

    Good luck to the Celts tonight, I’m hoping for a stress-free evening.

     

     

    Preferences are Craig, Mikael and Jozo suited in the stand. Ralston and Ajer at the back, de Vries in goal with Armstrong replacing Broony. Griff, Sinclair and Forrest removed when we’re done and dusted.

     

     

    Heading out of the Jock Stein buspark at seven with a spare activated card, available to anyone wanting to be there. Catch you at turnstyles 6-13. Stand at the wall beyond the police horse toilet stop, waving a distasteful paramilitary style banner and we can go in together.

  7. Ralston is a monster of a build. I wanted him unleashed on Laughertee at the weekend.

    Turkeybhoy…enjoyed your Charles Patrick story…I also have one. In 1988, after some years living abroad, I arrived at my parents’ home directly from the airport. I got out of the taxi and found my old man chatting to Bobby Murdoch over the fence. Bobby had become a near neighbour.

    Anthony Ralston is like a runaway truck, best to get out the way or he will simply run over your face:)

     

    Cmon Anthony, get them son:)

  10. Paddy is BACK at Celtic.

     

    Im in pub in saltmarket, and the barman just got a text from her pal who works at Celtic.

    Lafferty can kick us all he wants-with the blessing of the powers that be. But it only takes a properly targeted doing to sort him.

     

     

    He’s toast.

  13. Bobbio et al

     

     

    That disappointed me on Saturday. In an ideal world I want us to simply play football.

     

     

    In cases like him then I’d expect each of the back 4 and defensive mids to seek him out early and make an impact (and perhaps with it a yellow) to put the flat track in his place early.

     

     

    Ralston would muller him simply by running at him.

    I doubt Brendan will allow it to happen again.

    a good strategically placed kick always works………our new bhoy needs a little finesse to deliver

     

     

    laugherty will keep till then :-))

     

     

    Hope you and your dad are well

    His all-time Hoooops hero,in days when heroes were few.

     

     

     

    Try to get over for 11/11 and you can tell that tale to his face,and watch it go the colour of our favourite team with envy!!!!!

     

     

     

    On the drive up the Falls,I told him I was at the 7_1 game,but was too young and could not really remember it.He told me”Ah,the greatest day of my life,but dont worry about not remembering it,if you had been old enough,you would not be herer now,going to meet one of the most beautiful girls in Belfast”Anyway,he said”Big Jock has already started to give you memories enough for a lifetime.Celtic will always give you great times and memories”My Da was bursting with whatever when I told him.t

     

    Great memory.

  17. Mind that time John Yorkston said that Bobo Balde probably caused more injuries than their plastic pitch?

  18. Davidopoulos on 8th August 2017 2:16 pm

     

     

    Bobo was like a charging Rhino……….

  19. Mind that time John Yorkston said “It appears there’s a culture at Celtic that if anything goes against them a conspiracy theory comes out.”?

    Check out the team that night.

     

     

    Rangers: Waterreus, Ross, Andrews, Kyrgiakos, Ball, Buffel (Namouchi 70), Ricksen, Ferguson, Vignal, Prso, Novo.

     

     

    Subs Not Used: McGregor, Burke, Steven Smith, Thompson, Malcolm, Alex Rae.

     

     

    Novo, Prso, Buffel, among 5 players whose illegal payments were admitted to by Rangers at the first tax tribunal held, before LNS inquiry.

     

     

    Novo scored, but no competitive advantage to Rangers (1872-2012), of course.

     

     

    0-3, MO’N’s 5-in-a-row.
