Have nearly come to expect a decent performance from this celtic team every time they take to the field these days and expect much of the same again tomorrow.
Would like to see guchi actually start in the calmac role for a change to see what he can really offer as these friendlies can tend to peter out when the amount of subs start to come into play.
Hopefully the CCV and Welsh partnership can start to develop also as looking a bit better with the more game time together even if I'm still not totally convinced still.
Should be a great work out regardless and expect another win to boost confidence also.
Think I wouldn't mind rovers scoring the very long range effort either, maybe might stop Joe Hart trying to playing football on the half way line

Personally, I can't wait for the 'as for Shearer, well he's a Wanker' chant to happen.

I’m thinking we’re only 2 players away from having a special team…..another centre half and an athletic defensive midfielder with a bit of dig…..exciting times…

Only two weeks away now from our first competitive game. We are beginning to look in pretty decent shape.
No Hatate or Starfelt available for this one still a few looking like they need games Jura and Jota come to mind from what I've seen....with young Alexandro taking time to settle in. Would like to see Siegrist play the full 90 mins to get a better look at him also.
Hopefully an entertaining " Men against Boys " performance to keep the momentum going and most importantly avoiding any further injury if possible.

Hopefully a good work out, injury free, decent performance and a win. I like the low key, solid work, no hype nature of our pre season.
