FIR PARK is always a tough place to visit and we've seen Celtic title dreams die in this ground, so three points tomorrow night will be that little bit more significant for those us at THAT game that they call Helicopter Sunday. That remains to this day my worst ever experience watching Celtic.
Tomorrow Neil Lennon will be looking to maintain the perfect start to the new decade and after the 4-1 win a few miles up the road at Hamilton on Sunday he will have numerous team selection matters to ponder.
1. Will Jozo Simunovic come into the back 3 now that we're back playing on grass or will be go with young Stephen Welsh who had a fine debut. Probably the latter.
2. Has Jonny Hayes done enough to replace Greg Taylor in the starting eleven? Probably not.
3. What about trying to fit Ryan Christie and /or Tom Rogic into the team after both made their case with assists on Sunday? Probably Christie will start with Rogic on the bench alongside Olivier Ntcham.
4. Has Callum McGregor recovered from that tackle that was similar to the one that Ryan Christie got a red card for at Livingston? Given it's Calmac, he'll play.
So the team could look like this
Forster
Welsh, Jullien, Ajer
Forrest, Christie, Brown, McGregor, Taylor
Edouard, Griffiths.
Score Prediction? Motherwell 0 Celtic 2
Oh Hibs are a Ibrox, worth mentioning if only because when we talked about their games alongside ours ahead of their matches against Hearts and Aberdeen, five points from six were dropped and Hibs will fancy getting something tomorrow. It would be particularly nice....
