Hibernian v Celtic, Sunday 3rd May, 12 noon kick off

[Gary67]

Live on Sky Sports Football

Ref - David Dickinson VAR - Don Robertson

If you're a Hibs supporter you'd want David Gray to put out the U18s and take a tanking rather than risk Hearts pulling ahead further in the title race. We lose, Hearts win and it's as good as over. However after a couple of defeats they'll no doubt be at full strength and up for it. Our record at Easter Road is poor.

Wouldn't expect many changes, if any from MON

Sinisalo
Ralston Trusty Scales KT
Engels McGregor
Forrest Nygren Yang
Maeda
Subs Doohan AJ Saracchi Murray McCowan Ox Hatate Iheanacho Tounekti

As always a grind but we should have enough to scrape a 2-1 win.
Subs will again be crucial.

 

[Imatim]

I wouldn’t be starting Nygren…

 

[JamSam67]

I wouldn’t be starting Nygren…

Tots agree bud. Bring him on from the bench
We need to fight in the mids area or Hobs will overrun us

The dark arts will be out in force on Sunday and the following games until the end of the season, mystery fouls and called back even thou they are on a break defenders on a yellow in the first twenty minutes, you know the rest Hope Celtic rise above it and play thier own game, we started to play with a little bit of form in the last game with the greyhound going at full speed whenever he sees a chance going for a win not sure about the score

 

[The Shamrock]

Hibs will be smarting after the weekend so another must win game becomes that wee bit harder. Hopefully we scrape a 2-0 win by any means possible.

There is not one game on this run in that the points will be handed to us ...this one is no different....especially with that line up of Mib/Var straight oot the ludge bidding for the goat to keep the huns in it.

Regardless we have to find a way to get the points any which way we can....we have not been very good on these early kick offs for a while.....Time to change that. Just get it done Celtic.

 

[Imatim]

The line up to start I believe will be the same as Gary.

What’s likely to change?

The back four I expect will stay the same to begin with. Sinisalo obviously starts. Barring any injuries, I’m thinking both Kieran and Anthony will get replaced by Scratchy and AJ in the second half.

Engels, Callum and Nygren will no doubt start, although I would start Chamberlain instead of Nygren.

Yang, Maeda and Forrest will likely start up front. Again barring injuries, I expect both Yang and Forrest to be subbed for Iheanacho and Tounekti around the 60-70 min mark. With Maeda going wide left, Tounekti right and Iheeanacho up top.

I think the Easter Road pitch will suit Iheanacho. I just hope we play to his strengths, as he can hold a ball up, and get on to crosses in to the box as we seen last week.

Saying all that, everything will come down to how much we collectively want it. Show us you want it Celtic. Let’s bring it home…

Love James is but he's not a starter these days. Brilliant impact sub if we need him with 20 to go.

Unbelievable game between 2 brilliant attacking teams. Tomorrow night we get the opposite with boring, negative, safety first, play for set pieces football

Big win needed vs hibs
Not just because it’s rangers but I want hearts to beat them as they will be then out title race and I know hearts will still be top but they still have Motherwell Falkirk then us to play so we will still be able to catch them

Not a fan of either club but if I had to pick one to lose then it will be LiverpL every day of the week
Hope you enjoy tho mate

 

[Fisiani]

Our game v Hibs is a must win match. No doubt about that. That would make us level on points with Hearts and closer in gd if rangers beat hearts we would be even closer

 

[50 Shades of Green]

Pondering by M@S for this weekends team selection might include the RB starter Moose or Tiger and with an interest in Marcelo being signed permanently perhaps a starting spot at LB...and the obvious assistance in midfield for Cal...

Upfront does the oldest (s)winger in town start or is he more effective off the bench and is Kel fit enough yet to start??...

These questions and many more will be answered at 11am on Sunday morning...Soap.csc

I'd be expecting to see..

Sin

Aj Trusty Liam KT...

Arne Cal Benny..

Yang Maeda Tounekti...

Tough game as always in Leith , hoping to hear Gerry Marsdens song at the end rather than the Proclaimers...

Mon the hoops..

0 v 3 Tounekti hat-trick , 10p on this would make you a millionaire i think

Are we up for the battle comrades?

Wonder when they will release the bad news about the hun tickets for Celtic Park ..

It remains to be seen who the bad news is for right enough...either way expect a media frenzy...

Only huns I'd let in are the match officials, and even then thats a push..

If it goes against our boards decision we will see if they have the haw maws to tell them to foff, our ticket conditions have restrictions to cover this scenario, and they have even banned our own for breaking them..

If this subcommittee they’re putting together is legitimate, why didn’t our custodians request the same when our supporters were denied access to the house of horror?…
