Celtic are at Lennoxtown today, doing their final prep before their vital SPFL away tie against Kilmarnock at Rugby Park. The midweek game is the first league action for the bhoys since their defeat to Steven Gerrard’s men at the end of 2019.
The players need to hit the ground running on the night and make sure there are no slip-ups. There’s a lot of intrigue surrounding Neil Lennon’s squad selection.
If James Forrest is fit you would imaging the manager would go back to his usual one up top with his frontman flanked by a winger either side.
He still has that option even if James Forrest doesn’t make it but the reluctance to bed in players like Shved to the side has been the source of some discontent among the support.
Well, we can confirm Shved is at Lennoxtown and did train today ahead of the game against Kilmarnock.
Celtic’s social media team filmed some of the players running out onto the training field and the Ukranian was among them.
Will he make the bench? He didn’t manage it against Thistle in the Scottish Cup.
Play Brown, McGregor, Forrest. Bolingoli and we will not have the ball in the net by at least 60 minutes gone
Bolingoli is a disaster at defending.
Great going forward but a bombscare at the back. He’s always caught out of position, which then drags either Ajer or Julien over to cover which then leaves one centre back in the middle trying to defend a cross.
He gives me heartburn, that lad.
