Celtic v Hearts ☘ ❤

A rare televised home non Glasgow derby game today.

Chance to set the club record for successive domestic games unbeaten.

Boyata will retain his spot apparently. Eboue Kouassi and Rogic are both still out. I’d guess we’ll see the same team as midweek but with Lustig in for Gamboa and Roberts pushing Forrest to start.

No Dembélé or Griffiths today.

Really big absences, missing the two strikers. Who do we think will play centrally up front? No natural player for holding the ball up anyway.

Sinclair will be upfront.

Dembélé is ill and Griffiths has that nagging calf injury.

Armstrong injured in the warm up. Not sure who’s coming in. :eek:

Yikes. Some big attacking absences now. 3 of our best 4 attacking options this season missing in Rogic, Armstrong and Dembele.

McGregor starts.

Actually a knee injury for Dembélé. :cry:

Lively start from Bitton here. Few nice interventions so far.

Rousing rendition of Sean South now.

That was a lovely goal. Great movement.

Bitton is having a smashing game.

+1. Covering well and good on the ball.

Decent enough half considering the absences.

Front 4 moving around well enough and covering for the lack of a natural striker. Sinclair’s movement is always excellent.

Few sloppy moments at the back from Gordon in particular and Bitton has had to be alive to stop a few breaks they’ve had. Ref is a cunt.

The goal…

Simunovic has been a bit sloppy too along with Gordon. Bitton very good as mentioned along with Brown and McGregor. Sinclair has been better since moving to the left but expecting a bit better from Forrest and Roberts in the second half.

Sky are doing their best to get the goal retrospectively disallowed but their video evidence is letting them down by proving there’s no case to answer.

It was plain weird.
