Non event of a fixture. I'd give the young guns an outing and one or two fringe players who need more game time and might feature at Hampden a run. Wouldn't play our front three, Gogic Newell or Doig.

Team v Celtic

I’ve already said I wouldn’t play a weakened team against Celtic, for reasons not worth going into, but I’m coming round to the popular view that it’s a chance to rest and protect key players. Having said that, I’m sure that a few of these key players will be miffed at not getting a game against Celtic.

Off topic, Scott Browns last game for Hibs was against Celtc at ER and he scored. His last game for Celtc is (maybe) against us at ER tomorrow, what odds on SB scoring anytime? 7/1.
Anyway, non game, so young guns and potential starters in cup final to get match fitness. Result unimportant.

Can’t afford any of our key players to get injured but we don’t have the squad to leave them all out
Marciano
Gray McGregor Hanlon Stevenson
Magennis Hallberg Newell
Wright Laidlaw Murphy
Can Allan play?

Hard to rest everyone as risk to injury but would like to see Hanlon rested as well as the other key players.

Macey
Gray
Mcginn
Mcgregor
Porteous
Stevenson
Hallberg
Magennis
Wright
Doidge
Laidlaw
I think Mcginn should get to complete his season by playing every minute of every game. I would keep Doidge on as he goes on scoring runs, missing a game could disrupt his momentum. Hallberg wouldn’t be a huge loss if he picked up a knock as Gogic is probably ahead of him anyway. Porteous could do with a game as he looked like a bag of nerves against Dundee Utd at times I think.

I thought the more Macey played the more comfortable and settled he’d be on cup final day but I’m not going to complain about Rocky playing. Been an excellent keeper for us.

GK Marciano
RB Gray
LB Stevenson
CB McGregor
CB Porteous
M Hallberg
M Magennis
M Wright
M Bradley
F Laidlaw
F Murphy
This starting 11 is the lowest risk strategy whilst giving those who might play a part in the final some needed minutes of game time. Only fly in the ointment is if Hallberg is still carrying his Aberdeen injury.
Hanlon is our only left sided CB so not worth risking him hence playing both right sided CB's given it is unlikely both would get injured or sent off.

I think we'll start with a half decent team out and make few changes maximising our substitutions.
So glad we put our first team out against Aberdeen, performed, got the result and put ourselves in the position we are in today.

I don’t think we’ll play all the youngsters so I’d expect it to be something like:
Marciano
Gray
McGinn
Porteous
Hanlon
Stevenson
Magennis
Hallberg
Wright
Murphy
Doidge

People seem to have this vision of Celtic being something they’re not. They’re garbage.

Play the full squad, not at full pace then sub them early in game. They still need to be up to speed for the final.
