Seems he didn’t train again today.
We’re very short at the back now. Even if he’s fit it might be a risk to play a back 3 if our only cover is Welsh.
You can tell all the huns you know
Recurrence of the back injury that sidelined him for a few games last month. I’d say he’ll play.
I’m hoping for Laxalt over Taylor. Laxalt has played 1 game in 2020 but I think if we have wing backs we could do with him and Frimpong with their pace on the flanks. We’ve been outplayed in midfield in some recent games, but on those occasions we had the likes of Forrest/Johnston/Christie playing as well as our full backs and we had too much width probably (and still didn’t really stop them crossing the ball).
Putting Laxalt and Frimpong in there is a big ask of them but if they can manage against their wider players it leaves us more bodies centrally to compete there. And I don’t think Taylor is good enough to manage their right winger and Tavernier on his own which means we’re probably asking someone else to help out on that flank.
Four at the back probably means both Laxalt and Taylor playing because we don’t have enough wingers, unless we just go for lots of central players and forget about wide attackers.
Lennon has a tendency to surprise in team selection in big games.
We definitely lack wide right options in the absence of Forrest and Elhamed. Even Christie could play wide on the right in a 4-2-3-1 too.
There’s only really Frimpong. Unless Lennon does something like play Ajer right back with Frimpong in front of him.
Barkas;
Ajer, Duffy, Julien, Taylor / Laxalt;
Brown, McGregor;
Frimpong, Ntcham/Rogic/Turnbull, Elyounoussi;
Ajeti/Edouard/Griffiths/Klimala.

Missing it, bloody work
Expect rangers to dominate midfield and the game. Celtic to soak up the pressure and win with a scruffy goal in about the 78th minute.
I can write you a note if it helps?

This is pretty much the first big behind closed doors game in world football in the Covid era.

We played Ajer at right back at home to Copenhagen didn’t we? I think he’s reasonably capable there but it went badly wrong that day.
We may see the likes of Ntcham playing as a narrow wide player. In past seasons McGregor would be a candidate to play wide left probably but no chance we’ll do that tomorrow. Hopefully.
I’d go with:
--------------------Barkas
-------Jullien------Duffy-------Ajer
Frimpong-------------------------Laxalt
------------Brown-----McGregor
-------------------Rogic
-------------Klimala—Christie
If big Julie is out then I’d go:
--------------------Barkas
Jezza-------Duffy-----------Ajer-------Taylor
-------------Brown------McGregor
Christie------------Rogic--------------Moi
--------------------Klimala
Klimala is the only fully fit striker we probably have and I’d have Christie back in the side because he’s a fit boy.
Klimala and Christie have the sort of energy to press them doggedly at the back and run the shit out of that carthorse Goldson.
We need to get fucking leathered into the cunts, leave a few late ones on them and unleash total hell inside stadion.
We won’t be allowed to play Christie.
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Green Brigade went to the training ground today.

Lennon has developed a tendency to lose big games. His sides are efficient against Hamish mcjockstrap.
Id put a good chunk on Morelos scoring, and giving vol Duffy a torrid afternoon.
Top class tifosi.
