runningtings Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 Yeh will need to be Shinnie at left back, I'm not too fussed we should be attacking these teams anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably. I don’t suppose McGinn at left back and Fleck in midfield is out of the question either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shinnie can play left back, we may play in a 3-5-2 now, but who is going to be the left wing back - Russell? https://www.heraldscotland.com/sport/17514675.kieran-tierney-ruled-out-of-kazakhstan-qualifier-callum-mcgregor-named-scotland-captain/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Templeton_Peck Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 Palmer just played left back for his club... Back 4 of O' donnell, Bates, McKenna, Palmer About 10 caps between them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyD Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 Can't see us putting any of the center mids at left back, other than Shinnie who played there for years. As T_P says, Palmer's an option. He's played the last few games there for Wednesday and has been very comfortable. Him on the left and O'Donnell on the right is not unlikely at this point. I'd probably go with Shinnie left and Palmer right tho. It's more natural. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
romanticscot Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 Don't think we can afford to lose any more players but surely whatever team we put out tomorrow should be enough. Playing for a draw is inexcusable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bazmidd Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 This is becoming an absolute joke now tbh, I am 100 percent positive that if this was Celtic playing Astana tomorrow Tierney would be playing. They have said all week they will see how he reacts to training on the astro which was the excuse well in early doors. Absolute nonsense continually using this astro pitch as an excuse not to play. Can guarantee Tierney will be playing on Astro in the coming weeks and in the future for Celtic in the SPL. It's pathetic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squirrelhumper Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 Findlay has played left back for us when Taylor has been out injured/suspended but not many times. Certainly has the pace for it but would be a big ask on his debut. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shinnie doesn’t really have much pace for the overlap. We might see Morgan play left wing now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bookerman Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 Hate to say it, but Tierney becoming a bit of a sicknote under Mcleish Lost count of how many games he missed now. Makes me question Celtic handling of the lad by over playing him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyD Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 Feels like this now: Bain Palmer - Bates - McKenna - Shinnie McTominay - McGregor Forrest - Armstrong - Morgan McBurnie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bazmidd Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 Yeah the loss of Robertson, Tierney, and Fraser takes away a lot of options, pace and threat down that left hand side. As someone said Tierney becoming a bit of a sicknote under McLeish nothing like the iron man image he has at Celtic. Very disappointing as it's our strongest side attacking and defensively. Not sure about McGregor down the left now as with Shinnie behind him there would be no real width there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andyD Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 Just now, Hertsscot said: No McGinn? Anyhow whoever it is lets hope they step up and take their opportunity. McTominay has been superb in his performances for Man Utd. McGregor seems undroppable to me right now Armstrong's been pretty regular in the Prem and feels like the best 'behind the striker' option in the squad, as he showed against Spurs last week. McGinn's doing well, but our central midfield is that strong that he's still on the bench for me. It's the left flank that's taken the hits from the call offs.

ErsatzThistle Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 (edited) O'Donnell should be at right back and Palmer at left back. Btw it's abundantly clear now that the clubs all regard McLeish as a pathetic pushover. Edited March 20, 2019 by ErsatzThistle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes me question Celtic handling of the lad by over playing him. Have a look at Tierney's Twitter account. Understand that the lad is a massive Celtic fan, but never a mention or retweet about the national team (and he quite active on there). Even when we won the nation's League, no mention of congratulations to the team, when though plenty of others were doing it. I just get the feeling playing for the national side isn't a big deal to him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just feels a bit crap to give Palmer his debut in not his natural position, when some among the fans aren't even convinced he should be in the squad. It's not exactly doing him a favour.

It would be interesting to have a poll to see how many people are excited and how many are dreading it. Aren't we all super excited and dreading it at the same time?
