Celtic v St Johnstone, Saturday 16th Mar, Celtic Park 3pm kick off

[Gary67]

Last game before international borefest for 2 weeks. McGregor, Hatate & Palma out injured, Yang suspended but CCV hopefully back.
Levein will play his usual eye-bleeding 'style' of football hoping to catch us out with a long punt over the top (worked for Livvy on Sunday).

CCV & Kyogo for Welsh & Idah and go with the rest that started on Sunday

Hart
AJ CCV Scales Taylor
O'Riley Iwata Bernardo
Kuhn Kyogo Maeda

Subs Bain Welsh Ralston Holm Kelly Forrest Idah Oh Vata

It won't be pretty but should win with a couple to spare. 3-1

Sounds about right Gaz aktgough I wouldn't start with Bernardo in midfield. Better off with our own young man Kelly or Holm for me then hope Calmac can return after the break along with Hatate.
It's been a long season watching the team struggle at home I don't see this being any different . The ask is 3 points and see where that leaves us before the break. We go into most games these days with uncertainty so we will need everybody giving there all for 90+ mins.

 

[Brimcbhoy]

Another chance to regain top spot. With them away on Sunday after a European game they could drop a couple of points.
We absolutely must win this game to keep the pressure on with the International break looming.
Anything else is a let off.

I would have holm or kelly for Bernardo,,,said it a thousand times wouldn’t have him and oriley as our midfield…

 

[Bridie Bhoy]

I don't think O'Riley & Bernardo work well very often in the same midfield, so I would bring in Holm for a bit of steel into the midfield.

​

Avril Levein will play his usual cautious cagey football. So we need to do the hard work, show some trickery to win the break-through and above all, be patient.

At the moment, any win will do.

AJ CCV Scales Taylor

IWATA

O'Riely Kelly

Kuhn Idah Maeda...


If CCV is a doubt get the Rock in...

IWATA as a holding mid and give young Kelly a deserved start beside Matt..

Play Idah and give the wingers another option of crossing as well as jinking in'n'oot..

3 nuffin to the hoops... Kuhn Kelly and Kyogo for a special K day ....

Thing is if it’s clear and obvious why does it take four minutes??

I've just seen the highlights and it looked like a clear handball - why did that take 4 minutes? It is so infuriating.

To find a get out frame to justify thier decisions, any VAR check involving Celtic takes four times longer than any other team , no matter how obvious the foul or penalty or off side they will go to extreme lengths to stop a Celtic goal wonder why?

That’s the Team for me (there’s a song in there) I’d go with Cdah upfront at home get the crosses in with the mids latching on the loose baw fast pass fast pass fast
Iwata to score
3-1

I heard that Larsson was doubtful for this game.

BTW. How good was Marc Rieper? I thought he was one of our most under-appreciated players in the last 40 odd years. It was a shame he suffered from a bad toe injury.
