    Celtic (away 15th Feb)

    Celtic appear to have really kicked on since the transfer window and I fear for us in this game. I just want organised, professional and hopefully a few more minutes for the returning players. We are coming up for a right important set of fixtures which will probably decide our season ie- top 6 or bottom 6. Hopefully the players have regrouped and are focused on playing a few more cup finals. Anything less than 3-0 would be acceptable. ..I would love to be more optimistic but they are miles ahead of us at the moment!

    They are miles ahead of everyone.

    Yes just a good committed defensive display and see if we can nick anything

    Got a dose of the gitters on this one! Really cannot see much positive coming out this fixture and hope we can keep the goal difference in the positive!

    I think they're a much better team with Jota in it. He brings such speed and aggression.
    Luckily he's likely to start on their right not their left v Ryan Strain who I feel has just shaded off a bit in recent games.

    I'd double cover the flanks, Stephenson in front of Strain and Middleton in front of Ferry.
    That's where most of their goals start.

    I'd start Paton up top on his own, tell him to chase everything, hold play up, then swap him for Dalby later in the game.

    Walton
    Strain Gallacher Graham Ferry
    Luca Svelje Campbell *Someone Middleton
    Paton

    *Docherty or Sibbald or Fiorini in that order

    Unfortunately it's all about containment.

    They play Bayern Munich midweek so that should help a little.

    I don't think this will help, I hope it does but ever since they've been back playing Europe the last couple weeks they have gone up a level domestically

    However we need to do what we done last month, park the bus and stay in it, of you are within a goal at half time it gives you a chance, like it did that night, and in that game we rotated a tired team, Odada started etc

    I think we should give Van de sande more game time.

    He was always a useful sub during the period we got a lot of late goals

    For containment and bit more pace v Celtic

    Walton
    Strain manny Graham Ferry
    Luca Campbell Sevelj Middleton
    Kai
    Dalby

    Ferry and Holt not in squad, didn't know they were doubts, Ferry is a huge blow

    Docherty starts, Strain on bench

    Not sure how lining up looking at the team but have the fear with those missing as find have another left back or left wb

    Looks like a 343 or, more likely, 541 for most of the match.
