Injuries

Agreed Frank. Lurkers be damned. We will get there. Regarding the unlucky chronic injury situation, I prefer it happens now, rather than later in the season. Gives us more time and matches to sort it. Starting Saturday, we just have to battle our way through it. So called fringe players have to step up. Fight for their place. They have Ralston's guts as an example that it can be done. Maybe a change of formation or tactics for certain matches by BR. Throw the odd curve ball. We have damn good players. Better than every other team in the league. Get going with a win again on Saturday, and then tick them off, one at a time. Remember we're the Celts.

Maybe big Kwon could do us a turn at Centre back if we find ourselves needing the cover.
I know he is a central midfielder but he is physical a good tackler and defensive minded.
We are gonna have to come up with a few alternative solutions to where we find ourselves with injuries.
Iwata should be involved more in midfield and not used as a makeshift CB as we have seen he is not that comfortable in there but to me offers plenty and a bit more physicality in midfield.
Both these lads provide physical dig and have as yet not been involved ...might be way off the mark here but just thinking out loud.

Nope - Kobayashi is out until the International Break too, same as Hatate.

Mikey J & Oh will be back in training next week, then Mikey J is due for his next injury around 10th September (sorry).

AJ is available for this weekend so will almost certainly start.

Damn , couldn't have given Rodgers a more decimated squad.
I know some reckon his training regime is possibly causing these injuries but I find that hard to believe given Anges regime was meant to be amongst the toughest.

Haven't seen enough of Kwon to judge but 100% agree on Iwata , he's looked comfortable every time he's played in MF and isn't brushed off the ball easily , would be my shout for starting games just now

I volunteer my services friends!

Positives:
  • Will do it very much on the cheap(Just pay me in beer)
  • WIll give it all for the club and leave it on the pitch
Negatives:
  • No stamina so can probably only go about 20 minutes per game
  • Haven't played football competitively in over 30 years
  • Get aggravated easily so will probably get a lot of cards

The MSM are salivating over our injury 'crisis', as well as Reo not signing a contract extension,(apparently Saudi is 'interested') and now it's Hacksaw wanting away...the good news in that AJ is back, but one man does not a team make, especially as we are heading into the shit pit in the next ten days, and the CL, where we have been found out in recent years...I would like to see the players have a dressing room meeting, no coaches, no manager and just get things straightened out before they run out onto the park...clear the air and galvanize themselves, to take on all comers and give 100%...once they cross the white line, it's up to them to play for the jersey, all this 'play this way...no inverted fullbacks, tactics etc...you're on the park, when you get the ball, just do what you do best...no amount of shouting from the touchline changes things...just my opinion, but if BR picks the team and wants them to play 'his way' and it's not working...fucking change it yourselves...time to man up Bhoys, you're playing for Celtic, and you are standing on the shoulders of legends FTMSM

But Brendan whistles, cos nobody hears or listens to him shouting but like good collie's everywhere the team know which whistle means what " press " , " fall back" , " give it to calmac ", thats what makes Rodgers the phenomena he is.


Or something, somewhere 🤷🏻‍♂️
