barker starting

Find that a strange one He hasn't played there before and is relatively inexperienced
But Lennon must be hoping his pace and trickery can be utilised and Boyle can come on and replace him causing them further problems as they tire
Gray back in Here's hoping he can get the winner again

Time for Barker to step up to the plate and show us why he's at Man City, hopefully with the size of the Hampden pitch he can use it to his advantage.

Hasn't been scoring of late so maybe cooling his heels on the bench will make him feel he has a point to prove when he comes on but yea already posted barker seems a strange starter if we are looking for goals as to date he hasn't scored
But as you say Aldo Lennon must have a plan for him and think he can do a job

Boyle is an important player for us and although he's not been scoring of late his pace is important.

We shall see very soon how it all pans out.

Hopefully put on a good performance.

Hmmm not too sure about that team depending on how he sets up. Imo slivka has been reletivity inefective and annonymous when played with mcginn and mcgeouch as he tends to be more out on the right. I would like to see slivka playing in the middle or behind stokes as i think he is a lot better when he has a bit more space. I dont see mcgeouch playing on the right so if slivka is there then celtic could exploit us down there.

4-5-1 with one actual winger, an as yet relatively untested young lad?!

There's a reason Lennon is a professional football manager and I'm off to the pub so I'll trust him, but that's not what I'd have gone for.

Happy with this as I think we need the strength of Slivka and Bartley in there.

Pleased to see Barker starting and we’ve got good options on the bench.

Come on the Hibees!! Couldn't get up for this one due to stupid family commitments, why do these people interfere with the important things in life?!

Used to be able to miss things cos they understood Hibs in a semi or final is massive but they are so common these days that they no longer accept it is a rare special thing 😄

Surprised Whittaker out but can have no complaints about David Gray in at Hampden

It looks exactly the same shape and set up as last week against aberdeen. Not what i was hoping for to be honest , think it leaves stokes isolated and didnt work last week

Boyle and Barker should be wide, not Boyle and Slivka. He proved that last week.

When you need to hit a team on the break it's a strange decision to leave all your pace on the bench.

I like Barker but he's going to be short of support.

Worry we'll be out of the game by the time we can get some subs on but in Lennon we trust

Think the selection might be a clever one. Celtic will be weary after the Bayern game. Absorb some pressure and let them tire, then bring on a bit of pace in the last half hour. 1-0 Hibs Murray scoring after coming on off the bench.

Not able to get there today, as one who lives outside of Edinburgh only way I could get a ticket was by paying an extra £6-50 for some kind of special postal delivery, ticket office told me nothing to do with them, tickets come from the SFA, **** the SFA is my vote- not gonna pay an extra that I cannot afford in the first place, the Blazers can moan all they want about how many Hi-Bees turn up but in my own case (sure not the only one) the plonkers at the SFA/GFa are just ripping the ***** out of the supporters.
By the way the BBC are complicit in all this with their ***** about a number of tickets sold by Hibs.
Hibs will get through on penalties, just have to rely on other ways of hearing or seeing this game.

McGinn and McGeouch need to realise that if they play a pass that drags Stokes out wide and they don't make an effort to get into the box they're deadwood in an attacking sense. Push forward and that all changes.

They were both brilliant last week and they're both doing well again this week, especially Hanlon.

The midfield ins on paper the strongest part of our team - how come we struggle so badly to get men up in support of Stokes?

I think Aberdeen last week and Celtic this week look much, much fitter than us.

Dreadful defending and poor goalkeeping. At some point we will sort out of defending at set pieces but hasn't looked a priority.

This is as inept a performance as I've seen us put in at Hampden and it could be a cricket score today.

Celtic haven't even looked that good, but if they stepped it up we'd be in a lot of trouble.

Lennon has to take blame for selection today. Needed Boyle on, Stokes totally isolated, ****ing dreadful so far.

The 1st is a shot back across him from about 4 yards. Really hard to save. If someone had criticised Oxley for that you would have been playing your 'bullying' card.

He gets a hand to the first one but needs to be stronger with it. I do think Marciano would have saved it and tbh that's the benchmark you have to go with.

Also, "playing the bullying card". If you think that thinking Laidlaw needs to do better with the first is the same at Oxley's treatment then I think you need to think that over again.

Laidlaw has been terrible and gifted both goals but the marking for both was also shocking. I was on record as saying Ofir should have come back in after the Celtic game. He's our number one!

Stokes isolated up front. Barker looks as though he could cause bother. I feel our only hope now is to get up running at Lustig and try get him sent off.

Mcginn has been pretty poor again imo. Dylan is neat and tidy but not causing any problems.

Hanlon has been fantastic.

Long way back but you never know. You can't play Celtic the same as everyone else does. Sit in and hope for the best. You need to play with a high tempo and meet them higher up the park
