What is everyone's thoughts on next Sunday now? Do we think McInnes will set the team up the same way with Penrice basically man marking Nygren and going man for man at the back? Big ask of the players again to do that, but they showed they are more than up for the hard graft and fight.
Celtic will surely change personnel in attack, but it will still be a 4231, but I'm thinking Duran maybe through the middle?
Anyway, hopefully Rangers have the same X1 that started the game, and Ryan Naderi is fit.

I think we will change it a bit for next week, Celtic will absolutely change it since there were miles off it a weekend, and O'Neill won't be prepared for us doing the same as last week, pretty sure McInnes will know this and will change a bit to try catch them out again.
I've no idea how we go on Sunday mind you.

Think it makes the game on Sunday even more intriguing, I don't think there's any scenario whereby either team will set up the same. Celtic certainly won't and McInnes will have a different plan as well.
Celtic, in my opinion, have no option but to come out of the traps fast.
They've just been trounced and their stadium will be 100% full of home fans. The flip side of that is that this could leave them very vulnerable on transitions. The anticipation leading up to the team sheets being announced will be as great as it has been for a long time.

Change or not. In their faces. Scrap for every ball. Don't give them a minute. It's the only way. Don't stand back and admire. get stuck in and all will be well. Go two up their fans will implode.

I think he will adopt a more counter attacking system and give up possession to their centre halfs, and be disciplined out of possession, but let's see.

More what Celtic will need to do to contain us.
Will they think we will set up the same again? And set up accordingly?
The beauty of McInnes formation is that if Celtic change, then Penrice slots easily back into the back 4.

BigDel we were actually allowing their centre halves to have the ball a lot on Saturday as well. Noticed Kelsy on a few occasions telling Naderi to hold his press whilst Scales and Carter Vickers were on the ball.
