Motherwell v Celtic - Saturday 10 August - all comments here

[Winning Captains]

Celtic got back at 4.30am from Romania on Thursday morning and play at noon on Saturday, away from home obviously.

Team news Jozo suspended and Elhamed is going to sit this one out. Mikey Johnston is back for Tuesday night but won't be risked tomorrow. Scotty Sinclair is back in the squad after Peter Lawwell failed to flog him before the English window shut. "Drat and Double Drat," he's been walking around saying ever since. Rodgers enquired but didn't bid and Lenny was only joking when he said he wanted 5 players, after failing to sell SS, PP was in no mood for such humour and has made it clear that players have to go out before any come in, much to the delight of the Balance Sheet Bhoys CCSC, the first C is for corporate.

Team might look like this

Bain

Ralston Ajer Jullien Bolingoli

Brown McGregor Christie

Forrest Griffiths Edouard

Apparently we haven't won at Fir Park in our last three visits but think we will get the job done tomorrow. Maybe 2-0 to the Hoops?

Here's the manager's Media Conference from today...

Mon the Hoops!

No he's available, might start or he'll be on the bench. The days of the team sheet leaks are over so it's all guesswork!

I think we’ll beat the Well, but I dare not risk a prediction, I’m a bloody jinx on them when I try to predict the score. So mon the hoops

The only match I think I tipped right last season was the Scottish Cup Final but I won't let it stop me trying.

Great to get back to football. Bit sickened by this weeks behaviour from the board and others peddling their version of events. Not the selling as such, more the way it's been done and sold to us.
I'd play Sinclair and take Morgan out after a hard shift midweek. Don't think we can afford to make many changes. Try and keep a strong team for each game to keep the momentum going. Calmac to score and Celts to edge a close game. 3-2.

As an aside. Homebhoys podcast have started doing a half hour podcast with a fan from the opposition. They've done Saints and Motherwell so far. It's a good idea and worth checking out.

Hail Hail

 

[Lubos left peg]

4-1 Celtic.

And just to prove I ain't Lennys Leak here is my guesstimate.

442.

Bainsy.

Tony, Kris, Chris, Bolingoli.

Jamsie, Broonie n Ferry mhan, Corpus

Eddie n Sinky.

Close game, Christie and my pal Boli to score for the champs.

 

[Theverdict1]

We should be running amock with Well. If we don’t thats a worry.

5.0

 

[Bridie Bhoy]

 

[Theverdict1]

Would have preferred Hayes and Shved in.

Think Neil has one eye on Europe with that selection. ?️??️

If that’s his eye on Europe then I’m worried. Boli and Morgan failed to deliver. Can we go with two men not at it? I don’t think so.
