Hearts v Celtic, Tynecastle, Sunday 3rd Mar, 12 noon

Live on SkySports Football
A week ago this was a game to be very worried about. They were on an 8 game winning streak and we were struggling after another 2 dropped points at home. Now, after their capitulation at Ibrox and luck in getting a home draw v Hibs, coupled with our 2nd half at Motherwell and Wednesday's annihilation of Dundee, the very worried has decreased to mildly concerned. Play with the same pace, intensity and attacking intent as Wednesday and we will have too much for them. A drop off from midweek and we could drop points.

Cant see anything other than the same starting eleven, unless there's injuries, and having someone with the scoring record against Hearts as Kyogo waiting in the wings should give us even more confidence.

I think it's a no-brainer, start with the same line-up push from kick off, most spl teams have gotten used to the tippy tappy side to side play of BR. The change in emphasis towards getting down the side and getting the ball into the box will have the mini huns unsure of what we're going to do, let's be honest Naismith isn't exactly the brain of Britain, my only concern is that the obvious tactics will be to kick the fuck out of our forwards and not to worry as the Mibs won't do anything about it. Ifi was BR I would have a word with Idah and worn him to be on his best behavior as the mib will be looking to card him at any opportunity they can. Winning by any margin is the only thing that counts Coybig HH

Agree with Gaz what a difference a week in football can make.
No matter when we play the cousins of William at their arena of bile it has always been a watch out.
This is no different but with CCV Iwata and big Idah providing the much needed physical spine the rest can now flourish at speed and get at the opposition.
We can now go high with crosses and low at pace and confuse the life out of the defending.
Big Scales has been our best defender this season but seems to be dropping off slightly.
He needs to get back to playing his rugged best and refocus.
The only thing missing is keeping a clean sheet as we seem to always put unnecessary pressure on ourselves even when we are killing teams.
This will be the warm up experience for mordor.... the players have to respond with a performance that leaves everything on the pitch given what's at stake.
A win by any result in this one is the ask.

Celtic get Reo Hatate boost as CCV makes "attack them all" promise - Celtic Shorts

Cameron Carter-Vickers isn’t too bothered that Celtic will have to play Hearts on Sunday after theRangers have taken on Motherwell at Ibrox. The Celtic central defender shares his manager’s view that the destination of the title is very much in Celtic hands so whatever any other side does or...

Anyone see the killie hunz highlights??incident when the hunz are one down,,killie player breaking threw on goal not a player between the halfway line and the goal.hun player grabs his arm puts him off stride chance gone,,but it’s a straight red all day every day??

 

[The Shamrock]

Aye, same team to start but play like we now know they can and the diets won't know what's hit them. Shackle Shankland and buckle up for the boot being put in.

It wasn't a big pull back but it made the difference between the Killie getting to the ball first and Butland being able to clear the ball.

Let’s stand together and do this…

This is where the MIB make a huge difference…..we don’t have be good enough…..we have to be so much more than that…

The ref done all he could to help them the pullback don’t know why we have linesmen or VAR complete waste of time and money , thier second goal with one of thier players lying in a offside position distracting the keeper who was getting to his feet the ref was like a ballet dancer to get out the way of the ball, can’t see it ever changing

 

[Bridie Bhoy]

I'm sure there is nothing to worry about from the referees on Sunday. Don Robertson is the MIB and well-known Tim, John Beaton, is on VAR duties direct from the goat brothel in the Louden Tavern.

McGregor and Rodgers not at training this morning according to SSN. Rodgers expected to be at press conference this afternoon, hopefully CalMac not injured.

Aye looks like Calmac has an injury think he will sit this one out.

Still to be assessed before the game but it might not be the worst thing if CalMac is out. Think some of his midfield colleagues would have a great opportunity to show they can take on more responsibility.

P.s. I really posted the link cos the Daniel J(K)elly typo made me laugh maybe the author is predicting more Jelly and Ice Cream

Bernardo to step up again, DK the only other midfielder on the bench (unless Holm is fit again).

 

[tommybhoy8881]

[Lmcbhoy]

A tricky trip to the edina huns.. Keep the ref out of it and we'll be OK. Hoping for the fast pass and pressing style again..
