RandomGuy. Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 Terrifying, to me, that its 14 years since we last played Celtic at Hampden. Still feels like yesterday. Back then hearing the draw I was terrified of getting them. Proper knowledge it was the end of the road and full on fear waiting on their name and ours. Tonight I didn't even bother watching the draw as I think we have a chance against any of the sides mentioned. Idea of playing Celtic at Hampden is delightful, our SC Semi win v Aberdeen at Ibrox times ten in terms of disparity of the size of supports, with every chance of going through. Just imagine the feeling of watching us cruise the last 10 minutes while the Celtic end empties. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes it worse that the very next year we, once again, got shafted by a diving OF player winning a penalty. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve McQueen Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 Seems so far away. They’ll surely not still be playing Ralston by then? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe because we led v Rangers in extra time, while never led v Celtic? The inevitability of the OF getting a penalty against us whenever we dare to take the lead against them is a truly incredible thing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fife Saint Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 Hesselink had cheating down to an art form that day. Fortunately, we are blessed with euro campaign vets too nowadays. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mizfit Posted September 24, 2021 Author Share Posted September 24, 2021 Having had a night to think about this, I have no fear going into the game. We’ve great cup pedigree just now and we’ve started to click. Celtic, are still trying to figure out how they want to play under Postecoglu. Never a better chance. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PauloPerth Posted September 29, 2021 Share Posted September 29, 2021 Is this only the second semi final in either cup competition between the two sides? We’ve played Rangers 7 times in cup semis. Our overall semi final record is poor; played 21, won 5. But currently at 3 wins in the last 4 semis, makes far better reading. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PauloPerth Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 Depending on injuries, this team would be capable of getting a result; Clark Rooney Brown Gordon McCart Booth MOH Bryson Davidson Wotherspoon Kane Subs: Parish, May, Middleton, Eetu, Ambrose, Devine, Craig, Crawford, Dendoncker. MOH to go from wide right to supporting Kane, but he’s better starting from a slightly deeper position. Gives us a bit of pace to stretch them. He has been far better than Middleton this season, who hasn’t looked sharp at all. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sh*teAndMuck Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 (edited) The enthusiasm on P&B about this game is almost overwhelming. I just watched clips from last season’s quarters, semis and finals from both cups and am now buzzing. I suggest Saints fans do the same prior to Saturday if you want to get yourselves up for it! I’d go… Clark Brown Gordon McCart Rooney Booth Bryson Davidson Middleton Wotherspoon Kane Edited November 15, 2021 by Sh*teAndMuck 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radford Posted November 16, 2021 Share Posted November 16, 2021 Against Celtic, the CBs stepping out is obviously less of an issue, so simply the best out-and-out defender partners Gordon and McCart. Those saying Brown have a fair case possibly, although if Dendoncker had played more, who knows. Can you trust Ambrose? As has said every manager ever I suspect. With Rooney back at RWB and Wotherspoon hopefully fit and available on the left of attack to elevate Booth's game, we have a threat from those areas. The big question is how we cope without McCann in the, likely, two-man, midfield? Bryson doesn't have the same energy levels as McCann (who does?) but he's surely the best option. Craig is more comfortable on the ball but Davidson had some big performances in Europe and is capable of keeping it simple. I'd go with him. Cammy MacPherson almost slipped my mind, hopefully he does completely with the manager. Toughest pick is maybe the right the front three: O'Halloran, Middleton and Crawford the contenders. The latter would leave us with a real lack of pace in the side when we are probably looking to play on the break a lot. Middleton is struggling a bit and, in reality, a couple of big moments last season have probably papered over an uninspiring year in Perth. O'Halloran doesn't understand the position. Given Middleton might make an impact off the bench, I'd start O'Halloran but that's said with no great enthusiasm. Clark Brown - Gordon - McCart Rooney - Bryson - Davidson - Booth O'Halloran - Kane - Wotherspoon Subbies: Parish, Ambrose, Dendoncker, Devine, Craig, MacPherson, Crawford, Middleton, Vertainen. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
