Don’t mind the look of that. Would be harsh on Shaw and I’d rather Marv than Milligan but it looks ok.

Thats my boy!

I'll be amazed if he does. McGregor got ripped to bits in that game last time. Its not one to chuck him in. Cant see Hanlon or McGregor being called on. 451 for me.

Kamberi up on his own with Boyle and Horgan heels to the line. Slivka, Mallan, Hyndman the middle 3.

They ripped us to shreds at Celtc Park with a back three.

We only started to come back into it when we switched to four at the back.

I didn’t think it was so much the back three. More the fact that Stevenson was in it with Slivka and Horgan at wing back. Too many players out of position.

We did improve when we went to a back four though.

I'm not advocating a back 3, I prefer a back 4, I'm just trying to think what Lennon may do, he does seem to like the 3 at the back against the better teams.

Personally I'd go 4-1-3-2 as I have a feeling Boyle may miss out and Horgan seems to play better off the bench. Hopefully Milligan can get fit as I think Bartley is a no no, if we have no real DM, then all out attack may be an option so 4-3-3 could be a good shout.

Who is the development right back? Andrew Blake? Would he be ready for any first team appearance

Not sure if Blake is fit and from what I have seen not good enough, definitely wouldn't be tputting him in here if he was ...big game and we are toiling to put out ateam that looks like they can do damage ..but its Hibs so you just never know ..

[danhibees1875]

When did Mavrias and Milligan get injured? Totally missed that!

Hopefully Boyle is 100% fit to return, but I wouldn't be surprised if he also sat out/started on the bench as a precaution.

Was Boyle not concussed last weekend?

If so then surely no chance of him playing on Sunday?

harsh on shaw but feel celtic will play 3 CM in brown McGregor and Rogic as the number 10 so need to match them up in there.

[bingo70]

Boyle a major doubt for Sunday according to Lennon at today's press conference.

If Hanlon is fit I’d move Efe into right back and play Porteous and Hanlon, with Lewis making up a back four. I’d play Whittaker in front of the centre pairing, and then a straight four in midfield where Celtic enjoy bulk of possession and try and shift it wide. Mallon, Hyndman, Horgan, with Slivka supporting Kamberi.

4-1-4-1. With the lack of pace and width this weekend we really need to get tight to Rogic and McGregor in particular in the central area. Quite fancy Slivka to score as he raises his game in these ties. Horgan needs to defend better too if he’s a starter - Forrest is at the top of his game and Lewis will need help on that flank.

At full back, agreed, but SW can still be very effective in a defensive midfield role. He's a good player and still decent.

We do need to have some defensive balance in midfield as some of the other players Silvka Mallon Horgan are poor defensively so possibility of being ripped apart with their movement. Whether that is Whittaker or Milligan not sure.

Milligan and Bartley both injured, Boyle is also extremely doubtful.

I would say it’s the right game for mallan though as strikes from distance are probably our best chance of scoring.

I’d go with-

Rocky

Efe
Daz
Porteous
Lewis

Whittaker
Mallan
Slivka
Hyndman

Shaw
Kamberi

Diamond midfield.

Not the perfect 11 but with the injuries we’ve got it’s not an easy side to pick.

[Sir David Gray]

I think we can just name a recognisable first XI at the moment.

God knows who's going to be on our bench tomorrow though. Are Neil Lennon, Gary Parker and Eddie May all able to register as players?

[theonlywayisup]

It says a lot that with so many players out injured, hardly anyone is putting Whittaker in their team.

IMO, if he's fit, he'll play as we are really struggling at the moment with players that are fit. There's no way Lennon is going to pick a development player ahead of Whittaker.

I really hope that if he does play, that the 'moaners' get off his back whenever he makes his first mistake. Our team needs their support at this difficult time.
