please log in to view this image Venue: Tannadice Park Date: Sunday, 4 December Kick-off: 1245 After a positive few weeks with some consitant performances, Celtic travel north in what is always a tricky away tie. Fresh injury worries with Joe Ledley (Celtic's best/most consistant player this season) and the ever improving Victor Wanyama looking doubtful. However, Scott Brown has returned to full training and should available (after mid-week sub appearance) to add some grit to the midfield engine room. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/16016693.stm Celtic manager Neil Lennon: "Peter's had to sell some of his best players from that team that have done so well in the last three or four years. "But they always seem to finish the season pretty strongly. As the season gets on and, particularly in the second half of the season, Dundee United seem to come on strong. "We've got to win the game and Tannadice will be a difficult proposition for us." A difficult game, however, if Celtic can perform as they have done over the past few weeks, I can see 3 points heading to Celtic Park to keep up the momentum. Celtic (from): Forster, Matthews, El-Kaddouri, Majstorovic, Loovens, Mulgrew, Forrest, Wanyama, Hooper, Kayal, Ki, Stokes, Brown, Samaras, Zaluska, Bangura, McCourt, McGeouch, Filip Twardzik. http://viewer.celticfc.net/movieoftheday
I feel sorry no one has bothered to reply to your post this morning. Of course it will be very hard. Peter H. will have his team well wound up to kick everything that moves, and if that includes the ball all the better. In any other Country you would hope the referee would do his job. However past experiences indicate that ofen Scottish teams don't. If Celtic move the ball at a high tempo, and don't tackle, they will finish with 11 men and probably a 2 goal win.
Stuck it up early today as I won't be around tomorrow... We need to get people posting again as the Celtic board is on it's erse! And cheers
Mulgrew in at left back , midfield all depends if victor is fit , then it will come down to a straight choice Brown or Sammy , presume hooper and stokes will be upfront, I see og and a pen have Rangers ahead against a depleted Dunfermline team
We should win this one and as has been said, any kind of one will do. Hope we come away from it injury-free as well and the ref does better as last time Dundee Utd got away with far too many blatantly dangerous tackles.
As sure as night follows day, it always seems to be depleted side that plays Rangers. I want 2 clear goals tomorrows, can't stand the tension otherwise.
And that is the Dunfermline manager moaning about the penalty , he has seen it on video and says its a horrific dive,
Saw the Hun penalty there. They were very fortunate to get that award. They have also seemingly worked hard on eliminating disciplinary problems. A team with Edu, Whittaker, Bartley and Broadfoot never comitted a foul for 80mins. some achievement. Cheating Hun ****s.....They'll get more of those the closer we get.
Steve Conroy the ref , remember his honest mistakes in the old firm game he got to ref , Lafferty lunge on Hinkle just a yellow , and then the disallowed "goal" after today he might be in prime position to get dec 28 th , they committed 1 foul in the game !!!!!!!
We can't worry about them too much right now. We to keep on winning games. I think the team will be the same as wed except chic in for ledley and hooper for ki if wanyama fit
Cha instead of Mulgrew is a strange one. Also, surely it means the exit for El Kaddouri when your left mid playing left back gets injured, and he doesnt even make the bench?
It'd help if they learned to keep the ball on the deck instead of lofting it 4ft in the air when they pass it. Useless Orange bastards.
