We put out fringe teams last season on a number of occasions and look at how many points we dropped. We should be going full throttle on all fronts up until we have a healthy lead at the top of the table, then and only then, should we think about resting players. I think Lennon done it during his tenure towards the end of the campaign, sending players on week holidays in March/April. We couldn't do that the past 2 seasons, because of the unbeaten run and the title challenge (albeit small) we got ourselves into last season. |

As well as too much rotation, I thought a lot of it was down to a focus / attitude. When we were 'on it' last season, we dished out some serious beatings. We can't afford to be complacent this season though. To be fair, I don't think we will - the huns do far too much talking & we will be suitably fired up to keep them in their place. |

Genuine question...you mean in terms of potential trouble? |

Agree with that and I also think our system was too predictable. With, for lack of a better term, 'lesser' players filling the team we weren't able to get through games playing the way we played. Hope the 3-5-2 this year sparks a bit of life into the team. Edited by evan15, 9 Jul 2018, 12:35 PM.

Any pubs in Glasgow likely to have this on? Maybe the Admiral? |

Moussa & Eddie playing in a 2 up front is one hell of a prospect. I hope it's something we get to see plenty of this season. |

Pretty sure we will see it. All those home game last season where we struggled to break down well organised defences were crying out for a more flexible approach - and 3-5-2 potentially provides that as we could get Edouard, Dembele and Rogic all in the same line-up. |

Last game I watched in there was the Astana away game where Griffiths made it 1-1. Was absolutely mobbed up & downstairs - assume it will be the same again, so get there in decent time

Anyone know if this Premier sports is available through a youview box? They also have the away tie in the next round if we get through but i can't find it. Is it only on a Sky box you can get it? |

We've got 8 CL qualifiers in a row, every weekday, from now! Chuck in the start of the league & that's a lot of games considering we're just back (Brown, Griffiths & Compper are already injured). These are our most important games, as it effects our entire season. A "fringe" team is: - - - - - - Griffiths Sinclair - Christie - - Morgan - - - McGinn - - Eboue Miller - Compper - Lustig - Ralston - - - - - - - Bain That's assuming McGinn is here by the next couple weeks, which I think he will. We've also still got players on WC duty/leave & maybe other signings to come in (I chucked in Lustig, to cover). A full team to concentrate on the CL 8 games in a row is: - - - Eddie - Moussa - - - - - McGregor KT - Ntcham - Brown - Forrest - - - Jozo - Ajer - Hendry - - - - - - Gordon Once the 3 first picks come back from the WC we've even more leeway. I must admit to enjoy thinking about this stuff to pass my wee spare moments here & there. I think Brendan may do more rotation - not less. That 1st team there would challenge for sure. Sorry to derail the thread, that 2nd team minus Brown for Kouassi would be my bet for tomorrow. |

Yeah, I’ve heard Celtic asked to be separated in the draw to avoid a repeat of last year. It makes sense when you look at all the pots. Everyone is regionalised except us. |

I'm not saying don't mix it up, I just mean there needs to be a limit to the amount of quality we drop from the first 11, even if it is against Livi and the likes. We done similar against bottom 6 sides last season and dropped points. |

Last year these games were viewable live in the UK via Celtic TV. It was late in the day being announced as I remember, nothing so far - just overseas... |
