After the turmoil of Paris Saint-Germain, Celtic return to domestic duty tomorrow with the visit of Ross County. County won on the opening day of the season but have taken only one point from 15 since. They have been a soft touch for several teams in crisis recently, so in theory, this looks like a straightforward challenge for the champions.
This is the first of two games in the next five days, the other, a League Cup tie away to bottom club Dundee. After this, we go to Ibrox then Brussels. Without wanting to be overfly disrespectful to Ross County or Dundee (or, indeed, overly respectful to Newco), we should have two objectives for the next two games:
Rest limbs and minds which have been intensely exercised by international and Champions League football.
Intensely exercise limbs that have seen little action this season. Specifically Dedryck Boyata, Moussa Dembele and Patrick Roberts.
Patrick could do with a full 90 minutes. He was our best performer on Tuesday, but he’s clearly suffering from a lack of game time. Dedryck has targeted a starting place at Ibrox for months. To achieve this, he will need to play a lot of football this week.
There’s no guarantee Moussa would dislodge Leigh Griffiths from the line-up at Ibrox, even if fully fit, but the Champions League game away to Anderlecht is a different tie. This has to be his target, which leaves little time to build his sharpness.
Perhaps most importantly of all, I would rest Scott Brown tomorrow. The games ahead are simply too important to have images of a fatigued Scott fresh in the mind. Brendan should also consider a place for Lustig, Armstrong and Tierney on the bench.
Win tickets for Ibrox
Celtic sponsor, Intelligent Car Leasing, have given us two tickets for the visit to Ibrox on 23 September to raffle for Mary’s Meals. You know the script:

Goals Galore
The Celtic Support Loved the Ralston inspired 2nd half.
Oh dear, the New Rangers are likely to get mauled a lot more this Time. ;)))))
Celtic Dundee game will be about resting limbs – that Cup is worthless now anyway.
I know Nothing but I reckon Brendan wants as many of the Celtic players from the Youth System in as soon as possible.
Against that Newco – I’d expect the Youngest ever Celtic Team by a Multitude of miles going against them. Even though they will be in the Hate Factory – I’d be looking to win by a few.
I reckon Kris will be given the nod – whereabouts not too sure.
Tony will be a definite.
Griffiths might bring the age up though. :))
It would be a real massive moment for the very tall lad Hazard, if he was selected – he is knocking on the door, for sure…..
Ffs where’d the time go
dsy is day but u knew that ;-))
Brendan is Ruthless.
He was absolutely raging at the first half performance, IMO.
;))))))
Hegelian Chip hand then head to be sure
:))
What about the Young Ones?
Yeshua/ Jesus
Awesome.
He takes away Every Sin – I’m sorry Yeshuah.

It is so IMPORTANT.
Petec,
We need to believe we’re a strong European team…..BR needs to instil that in the bhoys…..’cause they are mostly young boys…..
