Hearts v Celtic ☘

Hayes and Simunovic for Tierney and Hendry.

Boyata out with a dubious back injury. He was lined up to start today ahead of the game in Greece on Tuesday. It’ll be Simunovic and Hendry over there so with Ajer suspended. :eek:

They messed up the team announcement. Tierney and Hendry are starting. Ajer out for Simunovic which makes sense. And Kouassi for Ntcham, Hayes for Forrest, Sinclair for Rogic and Griffiths for Edouard.

Almost a completely different team. Gaaesque late changes from Celtic.

Probably a pivot table error.

Time for Simunovic to stand up to Lafferty today after last season’s embarrassment at Tynecastle.

Unlike Naismith to dive like that.

Griffiths blowing a kiss to yer wan giving him abuse as he waits to take the corner. :laughing:

Hearts, as is their right, reducing this to a game of tackles and hoofs. Man marking Celtic players all over the pitch.

Sinclair has been much improved for Celtic. Kouassi on the other hand has been fairly hopeless in midfield.

Unlucky for Griffiths there.

Very scrappy game as usual against Hearts. But getting much possession. But that was well worked. Sinclair has been involved in most of our positive stuff but we haven’t created much at all.

They’re at their usual kick anything that moves tactics.

What on earth gave the first aid lady the idea that walking backwards with the stretcher was her best option?

Naismith is an utter scumbag.

Celtic seem to have a portly new medical man.

It’s always comforting to remember how shit he is all beneath all the assholery.

FFS sake. Was it Simunovic who gave the ball to them under no pressure? Hendry was weak on the edge of the box too.

FFS sake.

Yeah Simunovic just passed it to them. We also had our two centre backs trying and failing to stop the cross and nobody tracking Lafferty coming from midfield. We’d been dominating this half too.

Hearts have taken over from ICT as the big Irish side in the SPL this year i think.
Big Irish headcount there with fellas in /out on loan

Sacred Heart of Midlothian

Good win for the maroon and white over the green and white. An omen for Sunday week?

Scott Brown and Steven Naismith on the one pitch…

That was shite.

Badly missed Ntcham in midfield but we were very sloppy everywhere. We remain shite at the back. McGregor had a poor game today and we just didn’t have enough ball players.

Griffiths didn’t play well and Edouard is a fine player but he’s better with a partner I think.

Sinclair probably the only bright point.
