Celtic v Motherwell ☘

Presume we will see a Johnston Abada Forrest front three in some shape today. Ange didn’t rule Kyogo out but hard to see us risking him.

Ralston and Forrest both trained on Friday apparently but I’m guessing it’s a game too early for Ralston. So probably Taylor and Juranovic as full backs. Welsh likely to be the unlucky centre back dropping out for CCV and Starfelt.

Is Rogic a false 9 maybe?

Rogic or Turnbull as the false 9?

I’d imagine most likely Rogic?

This and next weekend will be huge after the result in Edinburgh earlier. Need the three points here to keep the pressure on. If the team playing out of Ibrox win next week that’s 10 points and it makes the game in January a must win. I’m old enough to remember the 90s games when we battered them only for a sneaky break away goal to win it for them. That said I’m getting similar vibes this season to the season Wim and co stopped the previous manifestation of Rangers winning 10 in a row.

Huns were fortunate there. Some dreadful defending and Hearts butchered a few good chances.

But this is a test now without a striker and only Mikey on the bench if we need to try and attack more.

Was talking to Tommy Boyd there. He says he hears it’s Turnbull up front but it might rotate. Also reckons Kyogo will be back next week.

Just chatting to Tosh McKinlay there. He reckons Rogic will be the false 9, but he expects a fair bit of rotation up there. He said we could see any of Abada, Forrest and Turnbull up there too.

I dunno, I hope you’re right. I’m getting more of a Dr Venglos season vibe. Some outstanding football but the combination of sevco book fiddling and the Scottish football (refereeing) establishment swamping them in the end.

Just reading TFK there.
I reckon if we don’t win we are fucked.

Looks like The Wizard is up top.

Turnbull actually.

Taylor is a liability.

FFS Forrest.

Operation Assist Rangers in evidence early doors here.

Few Hunbelievable decisions to deny a blatant corner, and ignore two clear fouls on Rogic and CCV.

We’ve a huge problem on the right wing.

Both Abada and Forrest aren’t good enough.

Abada I suspect isn’t overly bright

He’s too wee, doesn’t have the strength or pace to beat a player which is a huge issue.

Forrest is just a headless chicken.

The Steelmen hit the bar.

Bitton worries me, he’s a red card waiting to happen with the way he lunges in and just his general indiscipline.

I don’t think I can do 90 minutes of Forrest today.

Mikey for Forrest should improve us. He has so much more ability than Forrest.
