TheScarf Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 This probably won't sit well with some, but at the moment, there should be as many Celtic first teamers in there as possible and eligible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Accent-Unknown Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 Said this already on the Scottish Football Subreddit but if Andy Robertson gets benched for a fullback duo of Whittaker and Tierney I am going to run screaming into hampden naked with a flaming fucking axe.

accies1874 Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 McGinn was shown up for the diddy he is by the greatest trio known to Scottish football: Ali Crawford, Daz MacKinnon and Greg Doc - none of whom make the squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dullard Bluteau Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 Unfortunately I am not in the least surprised by about half the names in that list. The vast majority of them tried and tested failures at international level, including a few who were never much use but are miles past the sell-by date. The usual coterie of Englishmen, players from the EL second division, a grudging handful from our best team and none from those teams in form. Disregarding Strachans obvious delight in obstinacy, and the fact he should not even be in the job for starters, one would have thought that as we are more or less out of contention it could be a time for a clean sheet. Not in the managers mind though. His contempt for the fans continues with this pathetic squad. The sooner he is despatched the better, and may he take his patronising unfunny comments post defeat with him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Accent-Unknown Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 Not including McGregor is strange, he's playing well and versatile so if he's not starting he should at least be an option on the bench Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enigma Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 Anya has been honking recently for Scotland, hope he doesn't play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheScarf Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 Presumably Strachan is getting told to pick McGinn because of who his Grandfather is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tierney and Robbo will play. If we continue with the 3-4-3, then it'll be KT on the left of the back three and Robertson at LWB, or if it's a 4-2-3-1, then Tierney at right-back and Robertson on the left. He just can't leave them out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enigma Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 I'd have McGregor and Christie over McGinn and Bannan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as one of those isn't James Forrest, I have no qualms with that. Gordon, Tierney, Brown and Griffiths are all certain starters if fit.

So 6 pts the minimum - what's the maximum you're looking for, mate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverWolfe Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 Honestly cannot believe McGregor has been left out again and we still have Barry fucking Bannan in there. What more does he need to do? No issues with McGinn being included. Hasn't let us down when he's been given a chance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Grass Is Greener. Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 A bit disappointed there are only two Hibs players in the squad. McGregor, Hanlon, McGeouch, Murray, Stokes even Stevenson are unlucky not to be included. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DA Baracus Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 Whittaker McGinn Martin Berra Hanley Naismith Mulgrew No McGregor, McLean, Cairney, Shinnie or Burke What's that quote about doing the same things over and over and expecting different results?

Jake Peralta Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 I'd stick with the 3 at the back with Tierney LCB and has already shown he can do a job and allows Robertson to focus more on attacking with the confidence of a solid defender covering him. The fact that McGregor isn't in the team as he can play either holding mid or pressing forward is baffling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tartan Dave Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 Celtic players are entirely used to this kind of fixture, being expected to win and having most ball. Seems strange not to call McGregor. Hopefully we have enough to get the job done. Maybe in around 6 months, Ralston may be ready if he continues to get first team experience, right back an issue for us. Seen some mention Kerr at Dundee also Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
