Celtic v Motherwell 🇮🇪☘️🍀 Betfred Cup Final 🏆

A chance for Brendan to go 4 from 4 in domestic trophies.

Some selection debates due to the injury to Lustig.

Could go 3 centre backs with Forrest right wing back. But we’re also short on centre backs and Lustig is the most comfortable playing that hybrid role on the right. Sviatchenko hasn’t played in a long time and there’s talk of an injury for Bitton.

Could just play Gamboa right back. Seems the more likely choice. I’m not a big fan of Gamboa and I think they’ll go after him with balls over his head if he does play but it’s still probably the best option.

Then there’s the usual midfield battle between Armstrong, McGregor, Ntcham and Rogic to take 2 of the places alongside Brown. Roberts could push for a start too but more likely to come off the bench. I imagine Sinclair will return to the team and Dembele will continue up front.

Is Lustig definitely out?

The Steelmen are well up for this.

I don’t think it’s confirmed but that’s the “word on the street.”

I’d like Roberts to start tomorrow.

What’s everyone doing for the game?

I’m watching it in town with an internet friend.

Let’s do it for Pearse Jordan. 25 years yesterday. :ireland:

A tight and typically tense cup final.

0-0. HT.

Started well there but lost our momentum a bit.

Sinclair looks short on confidence but otherwise I think we’ve been fairly decent attacking. Just needed one or two breaks to fall our way.

They’re a bit of a threat. Moult holds it up well and they’ve had midfielders running past us once or twice.

No need for panic though.

Superb finish.

Fooooorrrrrreeeeeesssssstttttttttt

Gorgeous finish that.

What a save.

Incredible save by Craig Gordon.

Deeeeeemmmmmmbbbbbbeeeeellllleeeeeee

Ah lovely.

What a fucking team. What a fucking football club.

Pearse Jordan RIP
