St Mirren have earned only 12 points from 21 games this season but one of these came in the 0-0 draw with Celtic at Paisley in September; the champions have a score to settle tonight. St Mirren rescued a 0-2 deficit against Alloa in the Scottish Cup on Saturday but have suffered five straight league defeats to Kilmarnock, St Johnstone, Motherwell, Aberdeen and Livingston.
Football is not always straightforward, but Brendan Rodgers will demand his players take all three points tonight.
With Odsonne Edouard returning to fitness, Leigh Griffiths on sabbatical and Vakoun Issouf Bayo awaiting clearance, I expect we will see Timothy Weah start tonight, after his scoring debut from the bench on Saturday. Within a month the striker position is going to be heavily contested, but for now 18-year-old Weah has the ball. I expect him to make the most of the opportunity.
Enjoy the game.

hi kev nice to see you back, I hope Brendan plays weah from the start tonight ,he is one to watch, 3-0 to the good ghuys hh.
Russia or Ukraine or plenty of other European Countries ain’t in the EU but it doesn’t affect their participation in European Cup. Hell some Clubs are not even from Europe & they can play, so why should it affect Celtic.

Hail Hail fellas, its the same Kev, sumdy jiggery pokerried about with my password, so had to jiggery pokery with my new name, lol ;)
Take care, and good luck to all Celts tonight.
Oot.
I have no knowledge of inside workings or transfer strategy at Celtic.
But if we are signing the Ukranian winger Shved does that suggest some foundation in the JF to Liverpool rumor?
Seems strange to sign a right winger when we have Forrest, Burke and Johnston who can play there?
If JF was sold it would mean another transfer window with a profit as outcome.
The end of this transfer window will be telling.

If Israel qualify for UEFA tournaments Brrexit means nothing.
Only criteria is can you make cash for the corrupt Uefa?

If as it was stated on here there was plenty of evidence that the EDL and SDL thugs were going to the game why were policeScotland unprepared?
Surely the politicians from the mainstream parties and mssm want answers?
BSR – prediction or inside knowledge? personally I’d stick with Ralston at right back for the next 3 games – only way to really judge someone is to give them a run on the team.
The state of the art diseased pitch is a worry.
Hopefully it can be resolved by tender gardening work.
What’s Ally doing ?
L:ooks a strong team for to-night. I see Mikel is in despite his dip in form which I suppose has not come as a surprise after a prolonged schedule last season involved in all domestic competitions, Champions Lge, Europa and then World Cup in Russia. Tough station when you are getting on in years. hope he gets back to form to-night after the rest.
Fan a tic-plod say they monitor websites for that stuff……..must just be the GB one….
The maxim that the mid season window is the wrong time to sign quality players OR you can’t sign decent players in that window might need revisiting.
De Jong – Ajax to Barca for 65 million
Piatek – Genoa to AC Milan for 30 million
Higuain – AC Milan/Juventus to Chelsea – Free
Ryan Babel – Besiktas to Fulham – undisclosed.
But the major part of business is the loans of players across & between all the leagues.
Virtually hundreds of players moving from club to club, in the same league/division – without a backward glance. No issues, no complaints from any source at all…until…this..from..

“Bigger point is problem with a league whereby Celtic can loan guys to be key players at a rival.. thereby damaging fellow rivals but not able to play against Celtic. Christie main example. Doesn’t help competition.”

I believe this is the same Ewan Murray who was a debenture seat member at Ibrokes during the asterisk years, when his club were so keen on helping competition that they cheated the taxman, the country & Scottish Football just to sign players they couldn’t afford with money they didn’t have.
No matter whether he was in that debenture seat or not, I can’t recall any protests of poor competition from anyone in the SMSM in those days.
The cries then were “The other clubs must rise to their level” and “They are torch bearers for the way forward for Scottish football” etc etc
Poor Ewan still wants the SFA to do something to stop Celtic, even if it breaks the law set down by Uefa/Fifa.

B.R. said Ralston was injury doubt because he twisted his ankle at end of Airdrie/Clydebank game.

Very interesting to see Henderson promoted to bench. Since he refused to sign a new contract he has been the subject of a charm offensive by Brendan. If game is put to bed first half wouldn’t be surprised to see him get game time. Dedryck not on panel, injured or what?,
Boyata injured ?
The same Ewan Murray, who called for a ban on strips at golf tournaments ,after a few Celtic tops were spotted at The Masters last year? I think we know who were dealing with here…
