A win here and its 13 points ahead with 13 games to go, but Dundee proved in our last game against them they can cause us trouble.
I'd imagine BR will go with his strongest starting 11 and make mass changes at the weekend.

Hope so Gary we can’t afford to underestimate any team we may be 10 points ahead but we need to keep building on that, every team in the league want to beat Celtic regardless of where they sit in the league, Celtic need to keep the pressure on it still a long way to the end of the season and another cup to be won so a win tomorrow will keep the ball rolling

I go for Ralston to give AJ a good rest. Things going our way should see Schlupp for Taylor. A rest again. Midfield and forward line will get rotated anyway. Hopefully two early goals to put it to bed and reduce the tension.

Full strength team to start I reckon.

I expect AJ to play and be rested at the weekend. Schlupp off the bench with half an hour to go…
 
Like Digger said, we cannot underestimate any team, this is the stage of the season where not only do clubs lift their game against us but everyone's fighting for something , top 6, avoiding the bottom 6, avoiding the relegation play offs, Europa and conference league places.
So I think we will line up as strong as possible and given we conceded 3 to them away will have to be on it.
I think were better prepared for this game though , our fast flowing football returned against Motherwell and if we continue like that I fancy we'll blow them away .
 
They keep coming these games!

Dundee worked out some of our players don't like making decisions in a hurry, pressed hard, and it worked for them last time.

This time, I hope they try it again, but I suspect they won't! They won't be walking onto our punch!

Still have enough to win comfortably, but I'm still thinking we don't have a clean sheet in us.

Bhoys to win 3 - 1.

If we are clear after 50 minutes (2 or 3 up), I would dearly like to AJ, Schlupp and Kenny on early to manage game time. More time for Jota to get up to speed.

Yang.. ahhhhh! I just don't know anymore after being prepared to see some more of him. Just how much time do you give someone?

Hope McCowan has a blinder versus his old mates.

How much time indeed. Were it not for Forrest injury I doubt we'd be seeing Yang.
He's been better last couple of games for me , his link up play and self belief improving but that's really it, I've not seen anything to suggest that Yang can hold down a place in the md squad even if everyone's fit.
I know some players need mollycoddled more than others especially youngsters who cannot speak the lingo but Yang would need to turn in an extraordinary performance for me to believe that one day he will truly belong.
I hope I'm seriously wrong about that but I just haven't seen what he brings compared with our direct wingers we're all used to, he's been given more time than normal through necessity , I can't see him keeping fit Forrest out of the team.
 
Looking forward to seeing Jota, even if its only for a wee while... Even a possibility of Big Jeff whom I'd never heard of before we signed him (not the first time thats happened I can assure you)..

Probably neither will start, but will Liam start at LB??? Probably not..

Does Luke keep his starting position or does Arne come back after a wee rest??

front 3 are a stick on to be the same..

Cal Arne Reo..

Nik Adam Daizen..

A pretty poor Jambos team hammered Dundee and I dont see why this Celtic team wont do the same..

6 nothing Celtic, desmonds for Adam and Daizen... Jota and Cal Mac with singles...

Wrap up well folks... Cause its gonna be minus 13... 😂 😂 😂
 
Must go full strength ....hopefully we are at full pelt and take our chances in that first 60 mins.
Would then allow Jota, Kenny and Schlupp to come on and get much needed game time to get up to speed.
Would like to see more of Kenny in these next two home games so I hope he gets at least 20 mins in each.
Of course it's all about getting the points any which way we can. HH!!
 
My pick is that Celtic will be so accurate and fast that we might score 8
I would love that.

My Leeds Utd supporting mates have been telling me that Leeds have had a cricket score in them all season, but having scored 2/3/4 a few times, just hadn't quite 'clicked'.

That changed against Cardiff (7 - 0), but they were still saying they should have scored double figures!

Would love a night like that tonight!
 
A good win tonight would help lift the overhanging gloom of the transfer window. An Idah hat trick would do the job nicely! It would not be good for the nerves but I will take a 1-0 win. Three points is all that matters. Another step closer.
 
Aye, game day still not decided if I'm going got midday appointment so will see what situation is after it.

Expect a tough night, Dundee will be irked by thur pumping at the weekend, hopefully we'll score early & settle the fans nervous, if game done by HT would like to see our two new players get at least 30min, that wee Portuguese guy looks quality 😀 hopefully Schlupp & young Kenny get the same so we can see what they've got.

Celtic 4-0 Dundee, Adam, Diazen, Jota, Kenny
