All eyes from TFK will be on Celtic Park tonight. A very rare Monday night outing for Celtic.
I expect the team will be along the lines of Fulvio’s prediction:
Hart
Ralston CCV Starfelt Juranovic
McGregor
Rogic Hatate
Abada Maeda Johnston
A bench then with Giakoumakis, Bitton, Ideguchi, Welsh, Scales, Taylor, a couple of others and a keeper. Maybe one or both of Jota or Forrest will make the bench but I’m not expecting that.
Selection decisions are probably around full backs (where I think Taylor misses out), midfield where I think Hatate will start ahead of Bitton or Ideguchi. And up front it mostly depends on fitness but we could see Maeda out wide and Giakoumakis through the middle with no Mikey.
Little harsh on Ralston. I think we have better balance when Taylor is at left back but I would have thought Ralston has been a little better than Juranovic to date. Maybe Juranovic is needed for set pieces with Turnbull out but you’d think Ralston’s aerial ability would be just as important. Anyway with the subs numbers increasing and the better squad depth I think we’ll see more rotation between and during matches.
Actually the other player who is unlucky to miss out is Bitton who was excellent in the last game. But I don’t think he’ll have any real complaints.
