Bad enough that we’re without Allan, and Bartley, but would be a major blow to lose Daz as well
Add to that Oli’s injury, squad looking a bit threadbare again

What formation have we tended to use against Celtic previously?
They have good pace which could lend itself to the 3-5-2, but Boyle can cause damage running at them (boyata preferably).
Perhaps:
Rocky
Ambrose Hanlon Porteous
Whittaker Mcginn Mcgeouch Stevenson
Boyle Flo McLaren
Or Boyle as RWB, with Whittaker in the middle in our standard 3-5-2 formation.Mon the Hibs.

I wouldn’t play Whittaker at right back/wing back. Sinclair tore him to pieces at ER.

He did him one at ER in December, but Whittaker was carrying a bad injury, and shouldn’t have played that day

It had been quite frosty/icy and I think Whittaker looked to be struggling to get turned, in fact all the full backs did, I think it looked like they didn’t seem sure of their footing.

2nd half Hibs played him as a 2nd striker just behind Lewis Allan. I personally think this is his best position, but he’s rarely played there. Possibly the furthest forward he’s played, was the Betfred Cup semi v Celtic

Ryan Porteous will slot in to Daz role. Whittaker will sit in front of them.

I think Slivka will start.
He played for the under 20s last week, imo that’ll been with a view to him starting against Celtic.

The errors that Boyata makes in particular centrally though, I’d be tempted to play / stick with both Kamberi and Jamie Mac from the start, press high up the pitch and try and get the first goal early. Not a huge fan of trying to hit Celtic on the counter and concede lots of possession to them.
Also wondered if young Lewis Allan might step up to the bench given his form and important goals in the 20’s (as recognition)

Have a feeling Boyle may play up front with Whittaker at right wing back, providing we stick with a back 3. McLaren hasn’t been up to much in the last couple of games and that was the change he made relatively early in our last game.
If McGregor isn’t fit I think we may go to a back 4 with Whittaker at right back. Don’t think he’ll play Porteous.
