Anyone think Livingston will do us a turn today ?

[Tagsbear]

Anybody that has tipped a Celtic win on this thread is banned from laughing if they don’t.

 

[Sir Walter’s Warriors]

They have nothing up top but otherwise aren’t that badly hit to their first XI, if they pick up a couple of minor injuries and have to turn to the bench though...

Are Livi still a physical side?

 

[erskine bear]

Having trouble trying to organise five central midfielders, a centre-back, a winger and three full-backs into something resembling a formation?

It’s something Walter would come up with, Except more centre backs

Goalie

Ralston Duffy Bitton Laxalt

Soro Turnbull

PP Rogic McGregor

Johnston

Is my guess.

 

[Frank Burnside]

State of that team, 3 full backs, no strikers and Old Man Rogic playing his 2nd game in 5 days - he'll collapse after 20 minutes.

 

[Kanye West]

Are the barriers up?

 

[DaveL]

Turnbull is a good player but the way the media and tarriers (same thing) are talking about him, he sounds like a reincarnation of Maradona.

If I was that lad then I’d be pushing for a move in the summer. He will be wasted at them

Imagine Martindale looking at that.

"Lads, just hit it down the right side. Josh Mullin will have about 25 yards of space so it doesn't really matter if it's accurate or not"

 

[chilebear]

So theyve no strikers in that line up? Is that right?

That big massive club with pyur mulyins in the bank cant play a striker.

The big question is who replaces Rogic after 60 minutes to try and rescue a point.

 

[Skoosh1872]

It’s something Walter would come up with, Except more centre backs

Goalie

Ralston Duffy Bitton Laxalt

Soro Turnbull

PP Rogic McGregor

Johnston

Is my guess.

More likely 3 5 1,1 with the messi-esque Turnbull or even 65 minute Rogic as a 10 behind Johnston

 

[usbear]

I suppose with the gangrenous 13 coming back Monday this might be their best shot at taking points from them

 

[Krissie]

Another draw, going to stick a fiver on it.

 

[sw26]

Fairly similar to the Hibs lineup then.

They really struggled to create from open play in that match, most of their ‘chances’ were pot shots from 20+ yards.

Livi won’t get a better chance of a favourable result at the Piggery that’s for sure.

 

[KGR98]

Why? The boy can't cross. Thats one of the biggest reasons they never created anything great against u. Laxalt and him never put one good delivery in all game

They need to make do with what they have got he's a good dribbler with pace and can't defend it's probably his best position

 

[bluecode03]

A draw.

 

[erskine bear]

More likely 3 5 1,1 with the messi-esque Turnbull or even 65 minute Rogic as a 10 behind Johnston

Maybe mate but I’d be surprised to be honest.

 

[Galstonian Blue]

Big Efe for the winner

 

[erskine bear]

They need to make do with what they have got he's a good dribbler with pace and can't defend it's probably his best position

They’ve played him as a winger before this season for the exact reasons above, which is why I think he’ll be there today.

 

[Glorious]

I’d take a draw but I can’t see them losing

 

[thelivibluenose]

They play Livi midweek again don’t they? Are they still using the covid squad or are they back to full strength?

 

[DaveL]

If I was that lad then I’d be pushing for a move in the summer. He will be wasted at them

It depends on who they bring in to coach him but you're right, unless they get very lucky and chuck a lot of money at it, the level of rebuild required down there suggests a bit of time may be required in a struggling team.

 

[erskine bear]

They play Livi midweek again don’t they? Are they still using the covid squad or are they back to full strength?

Back to full strength midweek, however those players won’t be match fit.

 

[Teddyjohn]

Score draw today at The Chamber of Secrets.

 

[Bowery Boy]

More likely 3 5 1,1 with the messi-esque Turnbull or even 65 minute Rogic as a 10 behind Johnston

The dancing Aussie

 

[thelivibluenose]

Back to full strength midweek, however those players won’t be match fit.

cheers, wasn’t sure. Think that could be tougher than today

 

[Valley Bluenose]

It’s something Walter would come up with, Except more centre backs

Goalie

Ralston Duffy Bitton Laxalt

Soro Turnbull

PP Rogic McGregor

Johnston

Is my guess.

They like their new diamond shape that will see them sweep all before them with the two 'golden boys' front and centre.

...................Hazard.....................
Ralston....Duffy....Bitton....Laxalt
......................Soro...............................
Frimpong.........................McGregor
..................Turnbull.........................
........Rogic............Johnston........

Looks decidedly lop-sided to me and Frimpong and Rogic completely out of position. Lets hope they struggle but, in terms of personnel, its not a particularly weak XI despite the media bemoaning how short they are. Poor up front right enough.

 

[Everywhere anywhere]

Possibly a draw.
Livingston should have got a draw against a full strength Celtic last time.

 

[bluewonder]

Cant see it myself even though their heads are down after Monday night and the carry on over Dubai. I think most of their players will just go through the motions just to get to the end of the season in the hope they can move on.

 

[sirstevefleming]

Think they’ll struggle on the bigger pitch - midweek could be different tho

 

[Jasetheace]

If Celtic drop 4 points between now and March the 20th and we win all our games till then, then we're on course to win the title at the chamber of secrets

 

[wilso10]

Bitton and Duffy at CB, you're licking your lips if you're Livi today but I woudn't be surprised to see the tims sneak a win.

Still, stuck a 10r on BTTS, livi win and over 6 corners via bet builder at 10/1.

I mentioned this the other day, at least half of that team are starters anyway & the rest squad players who play.

Posters on here should remember that & not buy into the media pish.

Rogic upfront will be funny, less mobile than me!.

 

[Henrywatson115]

they'll get their usual pen from cheaten and coast this

 

[Ted Dibiase]

Would love it but livi would be doing a turn for themselves and the other teams fighting for second place

 

[Nizzy72]

Hoping Livi might nick a point today, would be fantastic. Livi will go into this game full of confidence. That mob will not fancy this game today.

 

[Madjid Moments]

If they drop anything today the car park will be full!!

Rogic certainly isn't playing as a striker, it'll be a 4-3-2-1.

 

[Recoba]

Ralston

 

[GeckoBear29]

Forrest’s little brother plays for them so they’ll effectively be playing 10 against 12, depending on the ref.

The Forrest family aren’t Tims

 

[JedBartlet]

They will win and celebrate "closing the gap" Still always hope for the best mind

 

[bobally]

BBC right on the ball. Rogic is playing two positions

Celtic v Livingston (15:00)

Celtic: Hazard, Duffy, Bitton, Ralston, Laxalt, Frimpong, Soro, McGregor, Rogic, Rogic, Johnston.

Substitutes: Doohan, Taylor, Connell, Robertson, Okoflex, Henderson, Harper, Welsh, Dembele.

 

[Jasetheace]

The Forrest family aren’t Tims

The Forrest family are or at least were die hard Rangers fans

 

[Macky1986]

As much as Livi have been excellent I just dont expect anything today. I would not be surprised if they got a draw on Wednesday though. Livi away is always tough even when they are in poor form.

 

[Barrymoped]

The Forrest family aren’t Tims

In the mind of the tinfoil hat wearing conspiracy theorists this doesn’t matter!

 

[Super-Swally]

Really hope so.

The rheptiles are under so much pressure so they might crack...well they're pretty much burst anyway lololol

 

[Stupots]

If livi are still in the game when the tarriers need to start throwing on the weans they'll nick a point with a set piece in the last 15 minutes.

 

[Tailwind]

FFS

Interesting view point.
Got different ideas myself.
Not sure why some are so defeatist
Or have people not seen them fail this year.
Really don't understand why we bum them up.
Every other team has a chance right now.

 

[Beer Belly Loyal]

Livi have not a bad recent record against them, last 6

W1 D3 L2

With Livi in fine form and them missing their better players I can only see an away win.
