There has been a lot of team suggestions for the upcoming old film game and a lot I agree and disagree with.
One thing I would take a punt on that not many have mentioned is MOH. I would maybe try him on the left this time, he has the legs over Lustig who is not the quickest and could be an ace up our sleeve for an out ball. He has his critics and it's a risk but could work. McKay as been pretty rotten lately but him or Forrester for me would be on the right this game as they would put a lot of work in to cover Teirney's runs.
I think Rossiter and Barton will start so depends on who is fit for the attacking berth. Hopefully it's Holt or Windass. Celtic will come flying at us like a bull out a gate so I hope we step up and make a good account of ourselves. Can't be any worse than what we have seen so far this season.

I think that Warburton has made a major mistake in the transfer market this summer by not signing players with SPFL experience. None of the signings bar 1 have any experience in the league. We could have easily got both Hemmings and Stewart for the same price we got Garner. Both these players have top flight experience and have done well.

wes
Tav kiernan Wilson wallace
Barton rossiter
halliday
mckay garner/ waghorn ohalloran
that's the team I would play, hopefully holt is back so that we have the option to bring him or kranjcar on to try and create more than what halliday will offer. I reckon that's the team bar Miller for ohalloran.

mckay looks like the only player able to create anything.

Itl be interesting, we are probably going to play counter attacking so moh might be the answer as an outlet.

Yes Levenlad I agree, I would play him to back up a sole striker, probably Miller, with Garner on the bench. I would play Hodson at right back with Tavernier in right mid field, with Forrester in left mid field. Wallace would keep his place, but the central defence is a concern and central midfield would be decided in conjunction with central defence pairing. Ideally, we would have Senderos and Wilson and I would then play Rossiter and Holt, if fit [ Barton or Halliday, otherwise. ]
We must have Tavernier's flair going forward, while keeping the defence solid.

M8 I think the midfield 3 of barton rossiter and halliday is ineffective they are 2 similar. I think the 3 should be windass rossiter and forrester, we need energy in the middle of the park for our high tempo game, I think so far this season that is what's wrong we have been very slow in the middle of the park.

MW hasn't changed his tactics since he joined the club- aside from a 45minute go at a back 3 (which was swiftly abandoned and never repeated) .
Aside from that the closest he has came to changing tactics was playing ball as a holding midfielder.
So I think our approach at Celtic park will be the same 4-3-3 and we will try to dominate possession. Wether it will work is another matter.

I don't think the midfield 3 is great either but I think that's what will play, halliday will cover every inch of grass and has proved he is more than a match for broony and the bandits.

I agree with you cee halliday was more than a match for brown and he gives his all, I just feel we need the likes of windass, forrester or even holt in there to put teams on the back foot we have been predictable and slow so far allowing teams to get men behind the ball.
