[Sir David Gray]

Sub Slivka for Boyle and I think that'll be the team.

Our lack of an out and out left winger will always give our team a lopsided look to it going forward. Stokes, Bartley and McGinn will be the key players for me. Brown musn't be allowed to swagger about the place.

You mean like Kevin Thomson allowed him in the 2013 final

Kevin Thomson played left midfield that day so no, it wasn't him. Claros and Taiwo were our central players.

Fenlons teams never pressed in the opposition half, Celtic just took advantage of that.

That team was a shambles we had to play 3 in the middle with Kevin in direct contact with Brown.

Boyle bound to play we won't play 2 strikers and Murray will be on the bench imo.

For me. Boyle to come on for Murray when he's spent after an hour of harrassment leading to us going 5-0 up.

Why Jim ?
Murray's work ethic has been missed & Boyle was poor Sat.
We won't get the supply to the wide players so 2 up our best chance imo with solid midfield.

Whittaker will start if he is fit otherwise Gray.

Hopefully Hanlon is fit or we have a problem.

Same team as last week seems likely though.

Interesting everyone going for DG to return so far too.

We will pack the midfield and hit on the break like we did at Parkhead.

I totally agree with you Trev but can't see Lennon starting Murray and Stokes unfort.

Like this team albeit I would not mind DG in there in place of Whitty if Lenny thinks so. Slivka ahead of Barker for me with Danny first sub if toiling to add spark if necessary.

Mon the Cabbage!

[HarpyHibby]

Don’t understand why anyone would want Barker starting. It’d be like starting a man down IMHO. Bring him on as an impact sub but in all honestly I’m not 100% convinced in his effectiveness.

Id have stokes in place of Barker and Murray up top......

[Mibbes Aye]

If Gamboa plays then we want to be targeting him down their right, he had a roasting midweek and his confidence must be shot.

if they switch Lustig out there then they are playing someone inexperienced or out of position in the centre, so we look to capitalise on that.

He won't start for that reason HH. I agree with you 100% on all your points

[SChibs]

Same team as celtic Park. But if we go ahead continue with plan A rather than dropping back.

This is my thoughts exactly, we almost had them , and they were happy to come away with a draw after that match.
We can do this , Celtic CANNOT remain unbeaten forever, it has to end sometime

I'd play Murray and boyle, a bit pace and running in behind to cause them problems. Murray through the middle Boyle to the right and stokes slightly on the left. In front of Bartley mcgeouch and Mcginn.

Sort of agree with this, same as last time but maybe stokes put for Murray

Has to be this. Lots of pace up front to put them under pressure

[eastcoasthibby]

NL has quite a few options obviously given our personnel , just depends how he wants to do it ! Its going to be really interesting ..key is that all picked need to be up and at the top if their game from the start no 10_15 minutes to settle in ...there should be no player heading out to start who isn't up for it !! You could realistically create 10 permutations for today's team that will all have pretty similar potential to do the business, so I wait with eager anticipation ... GGTTH

[Tyler Durden]

Personally I don't want to see Slivka playing wide again.

I'd drop him and bring in Swanson or Murray to play on the left. Boyle on the right
