Scottish Communities League Cup semi-final Venue: Hampden Park Date: Sunday, 29 January Kick-off: 1500 GMT Neil Lennon: "Obviously to beat Rangers is a huge scalp and we don't want to be the third one. They are a young team but they play with no fear and I'm sure that will be the case on Sunday. "We know we have 90 minutes or 120 minutes and maybe penalties in front of us. "You don't want to make the same mistakes as we did against Ross County a year or so or any other cup shocks the media keep throwing up at me - I always get reminded of it on these occasions so I thought I would get my retaliation in first. "It shows the dangers that are there if you take your eyes off the ball." Could we see a debut for Lustig at right back? Red tape may mean a chance to see Ibrahim's debut is delayed! Commons back to fitness and pushing for a starting place in the first 11 today. No fresh injury worries (apart from Bangura who may be out for the season). Will Neil Lennon "blood" some of the reserve/youth players today or will he feild his strongest 11 (to stop a repeat of Ross County). Who would your starting 11 be today? PS Get it roon ye Ally
He'll field his strongest XI. It's a chance for a place in a cup final so not a time for wholesale chopping and changing. Really looking forward to it. Should be a good game.
strongest 11. No fannying about. Keep up the momentum. Bastarding game is on at two in the morning here
Team news: Forster; Cha, Rogne, Mulgrew, Izaguirre; Forrest, Brown, Wanyama, Ledley; Hooper & Stokes Subs: Zaluska, Matthews, Samaras, Ki & Commons Pretty happy with that. Plenty to call from on the sub's bench if things aint working.
Need to start with a high tempo and not let them settle. Too many times the wee team takes the game to us on these occasions.
I shouldn't drink. I can't handle it any more. I like the balance of this side. That number 10 type position is exactly where I'd have like to have played McGeady. Forrest is already more of a goal threat that McGeady ever was, so he could make hay here.
I know, but it should be two up. Anyway, that boy Clark Ericsson that gave the penalty away, what was he thinking of?
Clark Ericsson has been booked about 4 times. wtf ????? Then he goes up the other end and scores It looks like Izzy is at fault for that one. He got badly caught out there. That Hooper is some player. You wonder how long we can keep him away from big clubs like Barcelona, Man United and Southampton.
Izzy may have been out of position but it was Wanyama who gave the ball away. Passing has been terrible at times. Getting ****ing sick of us punting the ball out from the back to Hooper and Stokes.
This Good cup game this, but not good for my temper. Need to up the pace a bit and put them under pressure.
