Apologies if posted elsewhere but I believe that John McGinn's booking yesterday means that he'll be suspended for our game away to Partick Thistle in a couple of weeks.
Obviously a blow but when you look at the games he could of potentially missed in December it maybe isn't the worst one for him to be suspended for.

Yep I think he was looking to get booked for this reason. His yellow was a petulant late barge on Davidson.
Sensible IMO."We've also been unsure about what has happened to the receipts of the players who have been sold."

Yep I reckon you are correct.
He's had 6 bookings so far in the league and that usually incurs a one match ban in the match than falls 14 days or more after the match when the sixth booking was picked up.

Should’ve been booked before it to be honest. If that was the idea for deliberate yellow then fair do’s. However I think he’s beginning to take the bite off a few players and taking his eye off the game.

Maybe I'm being too negative but I'd rather have him for the thistle game and without him for Celtic.
PT isn't a foregone conclusion, we need a full strength squad for that.Mon the Hibs.

A break would maybe do him good, having far too many poor performances for a guy of his ability. Seems to get an easier ride than most as his work rate is always good but loses posession far too often.

Losing to Celtic won't be a set back. Not beating PT would be.

However, Neil Lennon is a winner. He won't have written off the Celtic game like some of the fans have. He will want his best players available for it. It is the play of a man who wants to win every game. Some might disagree with the logic but I like it.
We should have enough to beat Patrick in any case. We just need a better all round team performance than we got this week.

"Lennon knows the 23-year-old’s irresistible form for club and country will make it all the more difficult for Hibs to hold on to him in January."
But the Northern Irishman insists his prize asset won’t be flogged on the cheap.
“The more John plays and the form he shows then it’s inevitable there will be interest from elsewhere.
There will be a price to pay – we are in a good position in terms of finance where we don’t have to sell ourselves short.
For his own progress John might want to look elsewhere. But he is very happy here at the minute."

Whilst I don't necessarily think that means that "JM will definitely go" or "he definitely won't go", I reckon we are (to use one of her expressions) in control of the situation. We will have a price for JM, and won't sell for less. If we get that price, we will move for a player or players already identified, priced and (virtually) agreed with the seller.
It's that kind of strategy that really encourages me about this regime.
