Those of us of a more mature persuasion will know that we can't get too high at the moment because Sunday will be a totally different game in so many ways. I'm actually quite disappointed that we have to go to the girodome so soon after spanking them as it will give them an immediate chance to get one over us in the league. Saying that what yesterday showed us is that we can bully them, we can control the midfield and harrass their defenders into mistakes.
I don't think I have for many years seen a Celtic team so spooked and great credit to Derek and all the players for the way it played out. We now have a full week to prepare and if we play like that again we have nothing to fear.

I think they'll make a few changes, can see them playing Duran through the middle where he's been most effective for them so we'll need to be ready for his pace there. Naderi and Kelsey will again cause their defence problems with their physical presence, will be a tight match I feel.

Get an early goal and silence their support.
Simples!

Need to get past the sheep now I'm semi or it means nothing 🫡.

Kasper hogh has been shocking for them so hopefully they stick with him. Duran through the middle is probably there strongest option. Penrice drifting in and man marking Nygren yesterday turned out to be a masterstroke.

A trip to Ibrox, and that came from a man according to some, not good enough with his tactics.
14 Sep 2026 16:54:37
Hopefully they do play him through the middle as they'll have to start tounetki again, can't see them doing that though.
14 Sep 2026 16:57:32
Will be a tough match next week as they will be out for revenge / pride.
Hopefully we can come away with at least a draw.

They are at home so have to look as if the are going for it so Nygren must still start so same again Penrice please, if Hogh plays they have to put Duran wide and the Algerian winger other side but think they might drop him and play Forrest wide and Duran through middle, don't think they change formation wise which means possibly same again from us, be a harder game but more confident we take something.
14 Sep 2026 17:44:15
They ain't dropping hogh, if they do and get beat with there 9 million striker on bench there fans will go crazy.

Baxterboy I said yesterday we would win the game, if we got an early goal it would really spook them, it did. If we can do the same at parkhead with the battering at Ibrox still fresh in there minds, we could do the same again.
Someone said to me today that they won't play that bad again, but imo we made them play so bad with our press, can certainly do it again.
14 Sep 2026 18:02:15
Lot of their fans want him dropped boy blue if they persist with the 4-3-3.
14 Sep 2026 18:58:57
They have the Europa league thursday then us on sunday you can see unhappy Tims if they don't win both home games espcially aftet gey pumped at Ibrox.

Hassan will play on the right wing allowing them to drop Tonetki then its likely to be Duran on the left where he had played and Hogh in the middle. They will expect to be creating more chances and Hogh to put them away. Just hope they get a really tough game on Thursday night and they suffer the way we used to with a noon kick off less than three days later.
McInnes should have our guys playing training games with the tannoy blasting out Celtic songs all week so that by the time Sunday comes they'll be so used to it they won't even notice the crowd.
