Guaranteed that we have a European hangover here. Maybe lennon will freshen things up a bit, would like to see watt play.
I think he will... hopefully get to see Lassad and/or Miku. Watt will probably feature and maybe McGeouch. Ledley's back, so hopefully he'll get a run out ... I'd rest Broony on the subs bench today and only use him if needed,
I think brown and wanyama will play because its hearts and they always raise there game against us. So we need to match there work rate.
I see Celtic will be wearing the new anniversary kit on Sunday. Because of this i would expect to see a strong team on the pitch, maybe our strongest eleven.
Do we even know who our strongest eleven is? We've got that many good players for almost all positions.
Our strongest eleven is not far off the team on Tuesday night, and i am not sure that i agree with your statement as when a couple of our top players are injured, ie Brown, Sammy, we can struggle to beat some sides as has been seen already this season.
Looking forward to the game tomorrow. ****ing hate Hearts, and always love to see them getting skelped. Why in ****s name is it a half 12 kick off though? No need for that pish for a home game.
I would be worried tomorrow if we did not have Brown. No need to rest any players really, as we would only be resting them for International duty. I wonder will Hearts bring their usual hate filled outfit with them.
Spot on with both your posts, for me, Hoopster - just hope the habit of European-game hangovers, mentioned by eric c in his OP, can be laid to rest and we see a professionally clinical performance to take the three points without any injuries.
Celtic captain Scott Brown appears likely to miss Sunday's visit by Hearts as he continues to battle against an on-going hip injury. Defender Adam Matthews is 50-50 with an ankle injury, but striker Lassad has recovered from his calf injury. Scotland defender Andy Webster is set to return to Hearts' starting line-up, having returned to training after missing three games with a back injury. However, goalkeeper Mark Ridgers remains on the sidelines. Celtic manager Neil Lennon : "We have to make sure we keep the foot right on the pedal. "John McGlynn's a great manager. I've got a lot of time and admiration for what he's done in the game so far and Hearts are the great unpredictables. "They have been a bit inconsistent, but that's understandable when a new manager comes in. "But Hearts can give any team a run for their money and we've seen that already at Anfield against Liverpool. "So it's a good game for us to get our teeth into after Tuesday in Moscow." Hearts manager John McGlynn: "We'll be in the same situation as Celtic were going to Moscow. Would you have fancied them? Would you fancy us? "It's the same scenario. It's a two-horse race - win, lose or draw. "We haven't been playing badly. I think we can cause Celtic problems but we have to go there and do that."
Forster; Lustig, Ambrose, Wilson, Izaguirre; Forrest, Wanyama, Mulgrew, Commons; Samaras, Hooper Subs: Zaluska, McCourt, Miku, Kayal, Lassad, Ledley, McGeouch Very strong starting XI. Very strong bench
CELTIC (4-4-2) Forster; Lustig, Ambrose, Wilson, Izaguirre; Forrest, Wanyama, Mulgrew, Commons; Samaras, Hooper Subs: Zaluska, McCourt, Miku, Kayal, Lassad, Ledley, McGeouch No watt, why?
Bright start. Hopefully we can get an early goal and go on and score a few (how's that for tempting fate?)
