    McPake at CF for Celtic

    Is it time to mix it up a bit for Celtic. We could put McPake at CF to give them something to think about.

    Could move Hanlon back to Midfield too, where he used to play.

    Right what about Williams up Front, we can play last defender is the keeper......

    Stick 5 forwards on and play a 1-5-5 formation.....Cant believe I am being as silly as the opening post

    Did Stuart Pearce not stick David James up front for the last 20 minutes of a game when he was manager of Man City?

    Sure I remember that happening.

    not the worst idea ever... maybe;)

    nahh but seriously could offer a physical presence against the Celtic defense and offer a target to give the ball to? we do need a target man but my concern would be who would cover at the back. you would probably have to put out a line up like this:

    Williams
    maybury/Stevenson-clancy-hanlon-mcgivern
    wotherspoon-claros-cairney
    doyle-griffiths
    mcpake

    Slightly less contriversial but still pretty bold would be Stevenson to left midfield and Cairney in the middle.

    We may lose a bit of attacking threat from the left however we've had nothing from the middle. Cairney would get forward well and has just as much bite and dig as the other 3 to not lose out on that side of the game.

    Yes then we could at least hold the ball up further up the field durring the first half. I dont think we have got much to lose and nobody will blame PF for having a crack (well the bed wetters will, they always do).

    I think we need to shake things up a bit, why not start off with Sparky & Doyle on the bench. If we play a predictable game we will get slaughtered, we need to make it uncomfortable and unpredictable.

    Not really a big gamble we all expect to get pumped by 4 goals at least, so lets use the game to try something out. I dont think we will lose the SPL on goal diffrence. So I 'd like to see PF show us some creativity and make celtic sweat a bit.

    I'd personally go with

    Williams
    Clancy McPake Hanlon McGivern
    Wotherspoon Deegan Claros Stevenson
    Cairney
    Griffiths

    Subs: Doyle, Taiwo, Donaldson, Kuqi, Caldwell, Handling, Horribine

    I think we will get something like:

    Williams
    Clancy McPake Hanlon McGivern
    Cairney Deegan Claros Stevenson
    Doyle
    Griffiths

    and that is what they will expect!!!

    I seem to recall us going 4-4-1-1 at Motherwell away in October with Doyle basically playing wide and Cairney behind Sparky. It worked a treat that night and I'd be inclined to go something similar on Saturday.

    If I was offered a draw just now I'd take it with both hands.
