This afternoon’s friendly against Tottenham Hotspur gives Ronny Deila a dilemma. Last weekend he played a second string against St Pauli, but with things going so wrong in Warsaw on Wednesday, the pressure is on to pull a game plan together which will work at Murrayfield.
Our other concern is that the squad, without Ambrose, Brown and Forrest, is already looking threadbare. We simply can’t afford an injury to afflict Commons, Griffiths, Stokes, Johansen, van Dijk, Matthews, Lustig or Izaguirre.
The suggestion was put to me this week that we should play Lustig with van Dijk in central defence on Wednesday. Lustig can play there, but would Ronny trust them on such an important occasion without a warm-up game?
If I was taking a risk with first-team players this afternoon it would be to pair these two. If we’re going to get the required result on Wednesday the most important area of the team to get right is the defence.

Lulu won’t be back on, she will be at Glasgow Airport getting a flight home. Glasgow through and through !
Apologies Delaney but they were dire. Strummer was a buffoon. They were the most conservative halfwits musically.
There was more on the pitch at the 1980 Cup Final..

I don’t think AM is a world beater by any stretch. Can be useful going forward but not a great defender. I think he’s had a few good games for us where he’s looked pretty solid but too hit & miss for me. Seems to miss his mate Joe. I think Lustig is the best RB we have. Not sure what AM’s contract situation is, but if it’s more than a year I think we could get £1.5-2M for him & would take it.

With the high profile role of the Military in tonight’s closing ceremony, I can only assume the 2018 Games will welcome the new Commonwealth members Iraq and Afghanistan.
CB,
think you will find yourself in the minority with that opinion,
but each to their own
Kylie’s growing on me …. Hahahahahahaha
That presenter is an absolute buffoon
Kylie Gay icon straight on to Tom Daley. A bit contrived there Beeb, this Clark guy is a wee bit annoying.
Kyle Minogue at closing ceremony?
How bad was that?
Lost count of crap songs.
Kev Jungle, come on and cheer me up.
Gordy, about Clash? Yeah I guess so. As usual.

Thank you. That is what they said about hotels. Reason why they decided to ask me for help.
Raberto. AM is a fine talent. Injuries have certainly affected him though.
CB
Respect your opinion, even though it’s nonsense and a lie.
Toooo many troll bassas on all day for me. “I’ve been lurking for years” is the cry. Aye, wait till we’re havin’ a wee bad spell and then you decide to post!
Back to lurkin’ or FF ya fatherless mothers.
I’ll wake up in the morning and will still be a Tim.
Oh and Kev, looks like you’ve NOT supported Celtic for longer than you’ve actually supported them!
How do you sleep at night?

Got to disagree on young ( he’s 22) Adam Mathews,
Should be another we are building the team with, been poor with injuries, but a big future the Bhoy :-)
Hail Hail

Glasgow finishing with what its really famous for..
Wee Wummin..

CowieBhoy, gotta agree, Matthews, a very good footballer.

Welcome!
I see the spelling polis and punctuation cops (PF) have nailed you already! Tell em to s*d off, its your opinion we wont not your spellling skills.
Ps Your sentence construction is krap. LOL
Happy New Year
BSR- ggggrrrr ;:)
Watching the fireworks between the telly and from the window.
Must admit whoever organised the games did a grand job.
Will they do the jumpy aboot bit at the end?
Goodnight Timland.
Me and Kylie are hitting the sack.

I accept your point about injuries. He’s certainly had a few & makes it difficult to find real consistency. I think with ML & DF we’re reasonably well covered there if an offer was to come in. I’m not in any rush to chase him, just don’t want to see him at LB again though!
Salmond will be hastily firing out a dogs breakfast of a manifesto tomorrow….
Adam Matthews is good player. They should maybe play him when fit, though and not when he’s recovering from injury.
Another player that thug Lasley tried to finish.
Raberto67, a much better player on the right, fair point.
But right back or Right Mid?

MacJay..
That was You singing Caledonia wasn’t it..?

Best combination down the right for Celtic was Lustig with Matthews in front of him. Pace and an attacking threat.
nye bevans’ rebel soldier,
Mind and don’t puncture her…:) night mate.
I’ve not been that interested in the CG’s but I think Hampden should now only be used for events other than Football. It is time to build a proper Football Stadium, and to be fair, probably in a place like Stirling, or a lot more Central for the whole of Scotland. A 60,000ish stadium that is built for making an intimidating atmosphere for anyone visiting. A neutral Celtic Park, if you like.
ChrisvanCoupon, a good combination.
The best? Can’t think of a better one right now.
