PauloPerth Posted March 2, 2015 Report Share Posted March 2, 2015 Celtic Park, 1945 kick off. Celtic have won 8 games in a row and are in great form after beating second place Aberdeen 4-0 on Sunday. Saints are on a run of 1 win, 3 draws and 1 defeat in our last 5 matches. The match at McDiarmid 2 weeks ago was the hardest test Celtic have had domestically throughout their current run, and after a lot of big games recently the match on Wednesday might prove difficult for them to get motivated for. This could be a great time to play them, and hopefully Saints play at a high tempo and make it hard for them to settle from the start. Will we see a change in formation to one upfront, or will Tommy stick with Kane and Maclean as in the past 2 games..? Take anything from this game and it's a huge bonus in our push for a top 6 place.

fazman1977 Posted March 2, 2015 Report Share Posted March 2, 2015 Should just go for it. Although Celtic beat Aberdeen 4-0 yesterday, the Dons had a few decent chances nearer the start. Any of them gone in and it could have been a decent game. I'm not making it Wednesday. Got the wee man and it's far too late for getting him home. I take it that it's not on TV? This'll be Celtic's game in hand from their break that no other Scottish team could take nor indeed afford. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamie_Beatson Posted March 2, 2015 Report Share Posted March 2, 2015 Had we won against Kilmarnock on Saturday this would essentially be a freebie for us. Not quite that anymore. Would be happy enough to avoid a heavy defeat, though given the way our last match against Celtic went there's no reason we can't trouble them. They've had a heavy schedule and you'd hope that given they've taken a massive step towards the title on Sunday they might take their eye off the ball? Wishful thinking perhaps. Â A point would be a superb result here. Not hopeful. dave mc 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ancientsaint Posted March 2, 2015 Report Share Posted March 2, 2015 Had Aberdeen beaten Celtic yesterday would have expected Celtic to be up for the game and given Saints a decent humping BUT now that they have won the pressure is on them to maintain a winning streak -Somehow tho I think RD will be looking towards their cup ties and MAY rest players on Wednesday so hopefully Saints can take at least a point off them BUT its not going to be more essential than the games against Partick/ Hamilton and Dundee.

Cagey Posted March 2, 2015 Report Share Posted March 2, 2015 Will they go for it to go 9 points ahead of Dons & have the league title sown up or will they rest their players with 3 games against United ahead. Even then , at home they should have enough to beat Saints. Â Hopefully we have a go at them as we have nothing to lose except maybe a worse goal difference. We did trouble their defence in the last 20 mins in last game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broon Posted March 2, 2015 Report Share Posted March 2, 2015 Can't see us getting anything from this game but I've said that before every game against Celtic that we've won. Â I dare say if any of their players have taken a knock or are struggling then they won't be risked. Positives look like both Commons and Armstrong are struggling and that would be a massive blow for them. I hope they play Ambrose at left back too, I'd unleash everything we have at that dumpling if so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrew Posted March 2, 2015 Report Share Posted March 2, 2015 Going with my son. Ticket office said they'd sold about 30 by this morning. Ah well, if we pull off a shock result I'll have been there to see it, once again. Not expecting anything though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cagerf Posted March 2, 2015 Report Share Posted March 2, 2015 Hoping for the best expecting the worst. However we showed in the last 20 minutes or so on the 14th Feb that we can cause them problems so maybe just maybe a nice wee win. sixties saintee 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sixties saintee Posted March 2, 2015 Report Share Posted March 2, 2015 If we dont give away silly early goals, and rememb.er how we played against them 2/3 weeks ago why not, we have nothing to lose lets go for it. Â Mind though forgot about the ref and the obliglitory penalty they always get. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abernethy Saint Posted March 2, 2015 Report Share Posted March 2, 2015 I think the warm-up is the key to this. Get that spot-on, and a five-nil win is in the bag. Indicator 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inchcolm Posted March 2, 2015 Report Share Posted March 2, 2015 Let's go for it 442 if we get beat we get beat. I'm going and I would rather see a 4v0 defeat trying to get something from the game rather than a 2v0 defeat trying to get a defensive draw. I would make one change Croft for Muzz and put Wotherspoon centre. Oldermoresensiblepack, Cagerf and sixties saintee 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

franco Posted March 3, 2015 Report Share Posted March 3, 2015 Team selection will be interesting because either Kane or Maclean will have to drop out IMO. Playing a 442 at Celtic park would be suicidal.         Mannus Miller Mackay Anderson Easton          Millar      Lappin  Davidson Wotherspoon         Ohalloran           Maclean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edstar101 Posted March 3, 2015 Report Share Posted March 3, 2015 (edited) Lappin is out for a month injured for a start, and surely Scobbie is a better option for a straight replacement for Frazer Edited March 3, 2015 by Edstar101 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
