Sonam Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 Not hopeful of County getting anything from this one. Guess the longer it stays at 0-0 the more nervous Celtic will get. Would be fantastic to get a shock win, would make top 6 look very possible, doubt it though. A respectful 0-2 defeat I reckon, sadly not enough for top 6 with Hearts up next, then Aberdeen away after. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Comrie Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 I think we'll also just miss out on the top six, that's a tough run of final fixtures. Celtic can start like a train, so the hope is to ride that as best we can. I'll hope for a backs to the wall 0-0 but don't see it. More likely 2 or 3 to nil. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
central staggie Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 Despite 3 wins on the bounce, the previous two games we've looked fairly blunt going forward. Defensively we've looked a whole lot tighter but we won't keep a clean sheet at Parkhead, which means we really really need Hungbo, RCC et al to be at their absolute best - even then there's a good chance it won't be enough. Heart says draw, head says comfortable enough win for sellick. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jinky67 Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 At this stage it’s just about winning so any score and by any means will do, having a cushion going into the next derby is crucial. We can’t sleep on County though they do have a habit of making things difficult for us 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flybhoy Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 Yeah we needed a goal 77 minutes into injury time up there just before Christmas to snatch a win with ten men after Carl Starfelt was sent off for being elbowed in the face, even the 3-0 at Celtic Park in September was not as comfortable as the scoreline suggests, it was 0-0 deep into the second half and two late strikes by Ajeti of all people gave the scoreline a flattering look. Will take any kind of win here given how we are in the home straight with little margin for error, a nervy 2-1 win to give us a wee cushion going into a huge match at Ibrox after the international break. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Les Westander of County Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 Difficult to imagine County getting as close to nicking a point as we were "77 minutes into injury time up there". It's the Hope though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sensible Soccer🏴 Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 I hear that radio 5live have this match as their feature match from Scotland on Saturday. They must have seen that the free scoring/conceding Ross County are in town, hopefully it's a boring 0-0. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staggie52 Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 I’m not as pessimistic as some. Celtic are better in attack than defence as are County. It’s probably more about desire on the day than anything else. I’m going for a County win, but not putting money on it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

staggy1929 Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 Anything other than a straightforward Celtic win would be a surprise, given the clear gulf in quality available. Hopefully we manage to steal something and the push for europe continues. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, we had a horrendous start to the season, first win against Dundee on 27 October, but since that time we’ve scored more than we’ve conceded. Of course we’re not favourites, but it took you a late, late goal to beat us last time. All I’m saying is that I’m not pessimistic and we have a chance. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greenlantern Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 The last two home wins and aways win for Ross County have been decent. Need to put these highlanders to the sword early. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is always a chance M8,Celtic scored a late late goal with 10 men. Malky has done a good job at County in a short period of time with all the changes from the start of the season. Charles-Cook and Hungbo have been stand outs plus you have a decent player in the middle of the park in Paton. County are always good for a goal but they still concede too many at least they don't park the bus should be a good game with plenty of goals. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He fits being an 8 more than a 6, but is utter pish in front of goal and is tactically too naive to be a deep lying playmaker. I think he's forever going to be one of those "decent but nobody can quite work out where he fits" players. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is probably why you guys lose too many goals the balance isn't right,Paton is an 8 so you need a Gogic type to protect the back 4 or 3. Callachan gets the goals from the midfield but it's hard to fit both in at the same time. I wouldn't say naive Paton and Callachan are forward thinkers helping the attacks leaving the back door exposed but makes for entertaining football. Celtic have a similar problem with McGregor hate him in the number 6 roll with Turnbull back in the 8.

accies1874 Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 I've just seen that Rangers B are playing Celtic B at Ibrox today. Have both stadiums ever had fans attend on the same day before? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem with Paton at #8 is that Spittal is better than him in that role, so Malky's tried to shoehorn him in there. Nobody better there yet, Tilson does the Gogic job and is alright at it. No County commentary, Might have to mute this. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
