Celtic v Raith Rov. - Scottish Cup, Sunday 13th Feb 4pm

[Steviebhoy67]

Julien has an 11cm height advantage over Starfelt.

There's plenty who've had a height advantage over Jinky and Messi.

Surprised to see as many started that you would expect to be involved on Thursday, but understandable also with a game that still needed to be won.
Got the result in the end, but very disappointing to have to depend upon the quality on the bench to achieve it all the same.
To many given an opportunity to shine and push harder for an actual starting position, but fluffed there chances imo.
For the first and only time this season I believe we seen a bit of complacency by ourselves and think Ange will be wanting to knock that on the head very quickly.
Cup games are only about getting the result and move on, so successful in that regards, but the manner in doing so was very disappointing for long periods of that game still.

 

[Gary67]

Easy win, not a great performance, players getting gametime that needed it, others getting rested, no injury worries (except Johnston but he gets injured whenever he plays in a game) and into the hat for the quarters tomorrow night.
Good to see Jullien back but don't see him as a long term Ange type player due to his lack of pace. Forrest is now Abada's back up.
Onwards to Europe on Thursday where 10 of the starting 11 pick themselves, the only question is O'Riley or Rogic.

We don't face a lot of those in Scotland but there are a lot of balls hoofed into our territory where air superiority means we can control the ground better.

Aye but they didnae lose many heiders tae Yose twa

 

[The Deadner]

Another thing. I like Welsh but today shows that Starfelt ain't so bad.

I think that's why ccv was off his game. Welsh was poor. I'm surprised starfelt hasn't been blamed for the poor first half!
I might start a starfelt appreciation thread.
Oh wait.......

My point is ya nugget is that CCV ain't the tallest defender but he wins most duals in the air. Has that cleared it up?

Jota had some game from the minute he set foot on the hallowed turf..

HH

Got the stadiums motm

 

[Winter]

Worst game since the Alloa game our second string just don’t cut it makes you worry if anything happens to Jota or Abada or any of our regulars

Tbf the likes of forrest ( I've no doubt that he'll come good) and MJ haven't seen much game time but weve seen some youngsters step up well , Alloa and Raith is that type of scenario you can't win whatever happens. Knocked both out the cup 4-0 today I've no complaints these games are rarely pretty
