Yeah, they feel they have the template to beat us now and I expect them to do all that high pressing again tomorrow. We really need to have an answer after offering nothing in the last two matches there. I don’t think there’s any hope Brown will be left out so he better show up. He was indeed rubbish in the first half at Motherwell when they put on a press, as he was at Ibrox last season. I wouldn’t be averse to Celtic playing 3-5-2 with Bayo and Edouard upfront and going more direct, but I think that’ll be a plan b. I have a feeling Forster will play, as he’s trusted by Lennon.

It’s a real string to Gerrard’s management bow that he really understands running around like a headless chicken
I think we’ve been really poor against the press but I don’t know how good they are at it. We had Gordon and Boyata gifting them the ball in January. We were equally inept in May but hoping that was an aberration and the unfamiliar formation.
They are likely to target it again but we look a better counter attacking side recently and we seem better setup to find our wingers in space rather than trying to pass through the middle.
Which is why I wouldn’t go for wing backs.

That article is a load of routine wank, with the insight of a junior auditor.

Elhamed starts
Ajer not fit
Bauer on the bench
Bitton at centre back
Forster ahead of Gordon
Ntcham on the bench
Good to see Lennon start Johnston.
We need to send out a statement today.
The backline is worrying however.

Morelos on the bench for them. Has he been injured? They will try and overload us in midfield with Arribo Jack Arfield Davis and Kamara all behind Defoe.
Very short on defensive cover with Simunovic and Ajer injured. Elhamed probably being the centre back cover and he was a fitness concern himself.
Probably a but vulnerable on the left too with Johnston ahead of Bolingoli and that’s the side they like to attack. Hopefully our attacking play on that side will push them back anyway.
Will Hendry and Sinclair leave before Tuesday?
Penny Arcade belting out now, classic.
Hendry is going to Kilmarnock on loan. Miller joining them permanently I think.
Not sure Sinclair will want to leave.
Hopefully the Legia Ultras left their banner from Thursday night under a seat for the Celtic fans to wind them up a bit more.
Get fucking stuck in now Celtic. 
Wait for after the whistle maybe?
By Christ, that is some atmosphere.
I’m drunk on naked sectarian hatred.
