I've seen McGregor running about like the phantom of the opera. Strange it’s gone from thinking the 5 sub rule isn’t going to suit us for this games with the lack of options to now having them on the bench where you don’t have to risk starting them and can sub them off anyway if they do come on.

His lack of pace against Rangers abundance of it and the fact he loves to pass backwards gives me a bit of the fear. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having Maeda on the bench as 10-15 minute option if needed is a good option to have not quite sure you can apply the same logic to Rogic as that game doesnt kick off till 4ish and he's a stick on to start 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Maeda running aboot not knowing what time it is or what country hes in is worth seeing from the start. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A set of goalposts are a set of goalposts no matter what time of day or where you are in the world. They all pretty much look the same so as long as he remembers what those look like Edited February 1, 2022 by Jinky67 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henrik's tongue Posted February 1, 2022 Author Share Posted February 1, 2022 2 minutes ago, Jinky67 said: He played 20 mins, he may be good enough for the bench.

Judging by Anges presser its up to Maeda and how he feels, can't see him not wanting to be included though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gannonball Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 Mind that time Efe turned up on the day of Juve last 32 game after just winning the Afcon and Lennon started him? An absolutely farcical decision considering Mulgrew could have played there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orbix Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 From Gio's press conference; McGregor is still #1 and will start Balogun is back for selection, so we may see him partner Goldson in defence. Ramsey won't be in the squad. Think it's likely to be how we lined up against County, with Balogun for Bassey and hopefully Roofe for Itten. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dundee Hibernian Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 I'm getting the vibe here that this is considered a big game for both clubs, and that there's a great rivalry between the two for this match. Is it that Celtic fans have finally decided that their opponents ARE the same club? Other than that, I don't get it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They won't drop McGregor on the back of 1 game, he raises his game against us time and time again so he has to start. Has Balogun not been out for about a month? Would be a risk imo 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has Balogun not been out for about a month? Would be a risk imo Choice between playing a proper centre back there or Bassey, who's done a great job deputising but is primarily a left back. Risky either way. Could maybe go 3-5-2 and have Goldson, Balogun and Bassey with Tav and Borna wider, but can't see it happening. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our board are tory shitebags but they voted to refuse them entry to the top tier, other than being quiet on the whole issue since and generally being stagnant/inept Im not really sure what else you are alluding to tbh. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was point in BR’s 2nd season where I think we broke the £100million revenue bracket, we had an opportunity to be ambitious and put light years between us by actually aiming towards Europe and making progression on that front. The board shat it, didn’t back the ambition of the manager and settled for trying to be 1st in a 2 horse pissing contest. They also contrived to f**k that up too so aye here we are. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AB1872 Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 17 hours ago, Jinky67 said: Has Balogun not been out for about a month? Would be a risk imo Balogan has been back training for weeks. He actually played against Stirling Albion but Gio kept faith with Bassey as up until that defensive fiasco on Saturday we had looked reasonably solid Its not just one game with McGregor. He has been jittery all season and is costing Rangers points. Still a decent enough shot stopper. Celtic should play the big cart horse up top and have Abada, Jota or Forrest or whoever you have outside and attack our fullbacks. Rangers are especially susceptible to this on their left. Barisic never gets tight enough. Regarding the tickets. Rangers were allowing Celtic the 800 but Red Zones were in operation and season ticket holders had to be re seated in the away Corner. Rangers gave no club away tickets for league games. Absolutely no idea why Celtic are not giving Rangers an away allocation for this game as I’m sure the Red Zones have been scrapped 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
