Scottish Cup Winners v Victims

[BigAl]

So here we are second game of the league campaign and already I have the absolute fear about facing them and that is despite the fact they didn't actually look that great last Sunday. Suspect it will be normal service resumed in terms of how this game pans out as can't see us scrapping and standing up to them the way St Mirren did.

Absolutely no idea about our starting line up but Shinnie HAS to play in midfield and NOT left back. 

Not sure exactly who we start at left back to be honest, can Molloy play there or does Jensen switch to the left and Devlin plays at right back (or vice versa) ? 

Up front can only hope that we sign a striker....anyone ahead of Sunday or we would be as well taking a traffic cone off the road in front of the stadium and starting with it up front.

Expecting us to go to cup final formation and trying to shitfest our way to a draw. Will that work a second time I have no idea. Hopefully we get someone in before hand but suspect we won’t. Victims will be looking for revenge for their crushing cup final defeat and fear we may take a doing on Sunday. Stupid kick off time means having to head up on Saturday and stay overnight.

Celtic won't be any more fired up than they usually are, so them being "out for revenge" makes it no more likely they'll win. If anything it might lead to it being in McGregor or Johnston's head all afternoon and they end up making rash challenges.

You could argue, with Celtic (like us) not playing many competitive games and there being a bit of turmoil at the club with injuries, Idah under pressure, the manager criticising the board, the struggle to sign players - we're getting them at a good time.

The cup final formation makes us more solid at the expense of not creating very much. However, I'd like to think with Tierney still struggling to last 90 minutes, that we can get at them down their left with Milanovic or Morris. 

I watched them against St Mirren and it's McGregor, McCowan and Engels hovering outside the box that's their real danger at the moment - with Jota injured and Kuhn away, again can Forrest go at it for 90 minutes? So we don't really need a five to quieten their wingers or to try and force them to play inside like we did at Hampden.

I tend to think we'll stick with 4-2-3-1 and try give our front three another game together.
