Kilmarnock are unbeaten across five League Cup and three league games this season, although all the latter ended in draws (home to Livingston, away and Hibs and Motherwell). The only black mark came as they dropped the points on penalties, after a 0-0 League Cup draw at Kelty Hearts. Their solitary win over a top flight side came in a 2-0 over Dundee United in the second round of the League Cup.
Brendan Rodgers big decision will be who to fill the gap created by injuries to Alistair Johnston and Anthony Ralston. Colby Donovan (turned 19 last week) is a natural right back who played against Livingston and Kairat. Having come through the development leagues in Scotland, he will also be more than familiar with plastic pitches.
The more experienced Marcelo Saracchi made his Celtic debut when he replaced Kieran Tierney at Ibrox two weeks ago. Marcelo is a left back who has played on the right before. Most expectations are likely to favour the Uruguayan getting the nod but that plastic will play on the manager’s mind. I would be tempted to go with Colby.
It will read as tongue-in-cheek, but we have an interest in whether Hearts drop points at Ibrox tomorrow. The Edinburgh side are joint top with Celtic, whereas the Ibrox outfit are not even in the top six. We are accustomed to looking locally for a challenge but that situation is fluid. Tony Bloom’s Hearts takeover will become relevant soon. Another Ibrox draw would be a decent outcome, although all we can do is look after ourselves.

that raskin situation is also unfathomable.

It’s becoming increasingly obvious that you don’t like our manager. Martin O’Neill wasn’t a Celtic supporter either, but I can’t remember you having anything to say about that. Your use of the word ‘allegedly’ when you talk of Brendan’s relationship with his cousin Nigel Worthington indicates that Brendan can do know right as far as you’re concerned.
*oh but I have mentioned Martin in the same context as he is an admitted Sunderland fan due to them wearing the same colours as his local side Derry City, it was his da that was the big Tim in his family telling him he should walk on broken glass if we come calling.
I use the word allegedly a lot and NOT just on here as you can NEVER be sure of what you read in this AI world, as for NOT liking Brendan Rogers, I luved him first time round but when I witnessed his “divorce” from us and it wisnae as acrimonious as has been pointed out, the story about going to Lennoxtown to say his goodbyes and both our captain and now assistant manager snubbed him is allegedly correct and was celebrated on sites like this, he did the durty on the club, no different fae wee macari who after being “allegedly” tapped up by tommy docherty should NEVER been allowed to darken our doorstep again after what he did to our greatest ever manager, he opened the door for the demise of the Quality Street Gang.
Seemingly, there I go again, there was huge celebrations at parkheid when he finally left as he had been a pain in the chorus and verse to the upper management in his quest to return to his adopted home, and you wonder why certain long term members of the Board distrust him, oh and NOT just the Board members, players, and backroom staff but the Green Brigade who were open with their hostility to his return.
But when DD decided to bring him back for the good of the club I accepted him but unfortunately its now becoming like a jimmy ruffin song “I’ve passed this way before”, lets NOT forget though that his supposedly final game the last time was a loss at hades, but when it seemed the Foxes deal was off he buckled down and he set us up for another title, the questions asked then was why did he NOT wait until the end of the season, just like one of his successors Ange did, and join in the celebrations with the fans, I firmly believe we would have certainly been disappointed but no animosity though.

Tontine Tim @ 2:43 pm,
…“he did the durty on the club,”
That’s a lie and I think you should put an allegedly in there otherwise you will find yourself in hot water, like Alison McConnell.
Please don’t spread lies, you are better than that.
Hail Hail
Hypothetical I know, but I would not be averse to CalMac being appointed Player/Manager should brendan leave.

Off topic, but the killing of Charlie Kirk , the fascist twat he was , great job by the young guy. Maybe employ his skills to get our palNet and Yahoo

no chance.
you cant do that to the bhoy, he is a long way from being a celtic manager.
it wont be Shaun either.
but anyways, we have a manager.
I worked on several multi-use mixed developments – usually retail, leasure and office, but never seen this before.
——————-
Dundee say they have had “constructive” talks with Dundee City Council and Police Scotland as they look to progress their Camperdown Stadium plan for a 12,500-seater arena alongside a hotel, 183 homes and a crematorium. (The Courier)
it’ll sound bonkers kinglubo – I’d move calmac onto his next stage now.
SAINT STIVS, the Dundee fans will be dying to get into that new ground.

I-0 to mini huns
Espanyolification
Shankland with a good goal. Hearts TV sure Shankland handled in the build up and expected it to be chalked off.
VAR gives goal.
There ain’t no cure for the summertime boos.
Eddie Cochran/The Who.
1-0 the mini’s. Can Martin survive another game?

Between Trump & bibi, one or both were involved in that hit
Brendan going nowhere,
f it , this could be the end of RM
Hearts playing the Huns off the park so far. Pressing everything and forcing turnovers anytime they lose possession.
the huns are pish. we missed a big opportunity against them. hearts giving them a football lesson. Hearts commentators still looking to have their goal disallowed.
All boos at HT.
I remember 1986. I just hope Hearts don’t have the depth to keep this going.
The Hearts signing – Braga – looks lively.
Bheavet – the commentators are unreal 😀
At one time he said it was still 1-0 to Rangers, then said sorry that was muscle memory.
Bheaver – sorry
Hertz telly says boos so loud they couldn’t hear the refs whistle 😂🤣😅
Hearts DO NOT look like a team managed by Derek McInnes. There’s actually a game plan to come forward, not the usual parked bus and long punt.
T
booooo booo
raskin in the telly box leading the chanting/
Kinglubo, not nice mate.
McLean is the ref. Penalty/red card bingo to come and 15 minutes injury time if that doesn’t work. 😂
3 subs at HT for ra berz.
42 minutes – ‘Martin Martin get tae fuck’ reverberates around Ibrox.

they lost a league and cup double.
a 3rd force, from anywhere, whoever it is, has to be welcomed for the challenge and to keep the league interesting.
people complained we chucked it in once we knew we were going to win the league, so wouldnt a team actualy doing well for a change be a good thins,
hearts and hibs with no european distraction, why not.
