I would urge all bears on here not to start gloating or throwing about wild predictions before the game on Sunday. Leave that carry on for the Clampits. Chris Sutton was correct in saying that this is the first oldfirm game in years. This one can go either way. Let's just hope it's our way.

If we play Morelos, Windass, Murphy and Cummings as 4 attacking midfielders with All interchanging as the lead striker we will confuse and scare the rubbish out them 👍
06 Mar 2018 07:21:59
That would mean leaving out candias and his work rate and link up with tav would be invaluable in an old firm
06 Mar 2018 07:41:05
It’s not champ man.
06 Mar 2018 08:10:22
Think we will go with 5 in the middle.
Would like to see Docherty push into Scott Brown in an almost man-marking role. He has the physique and will be full of energy. Would like to see him dig deep and bully Brown. Remove Browns time and composure on the ball and Celtic are a lesser team imho

Easy win for the Gers 5-0 fodders hat trick
06 Mar 2018 10:23:40
delusional, but i would love you to be right

Good to see under 20s follow their 7-0 win over Huddersfield with a 4-1 win over aek Athens today. Young Kelly excellent today and scored again. Also very impressed with Rudden who scored three.
These two for 17 have real potential.
Young lad Dallas also progressing well, scored 4 against Huddersfield

Bathgatebear. 3 times you mentioned the Scott Browns name there, forget about him.
06 Mar 2018 17:21:50
Rick, like it or not he dictates the play for them. He sits in front of the back four and keeps possession and sets the tempo. Press him with energy and fearlessness and it completely upsets them. Exactly what Champions League opponents did this year.
07 Mar 2018 09:58:27
Never mind just the champions league opponents. Hearts managed to hump them 4-0 with a 16 year old in midfield pressing brown at every opportunity
07 Mar 2018 10:21:51
That’s exactywhat I mean. An abundance of energy matched with the strength of Docherty might just make the difference at the weekend?
07 Mar 2018 14:51:13
Well said BathgateBear fae a Broxburn Bear in OZ
07 Mar 2018 15:54:32
@Bathgatebear - 100% agree. That's when the Lego Muncher starts to lose the plot when he doesn't get time on the ball to play his natural game.
07 Mar 2018 16:43:35
I would urge all bears to start gloating after the whistle on Sunday because there is going to be a lot to gloat about!
05 Mar 2018 20:21:43
Shouts for Cummings to start in the OF I can understand I love the guy and he got badly needed start and goals yesterday, but Morelos for me is a far better all round player and should get the nod for OF.
I've been wishing we'd go with the two of them up top together but yesterday showed why Murty's not done it - the number of times they could have played each other in for a tap in but went for goal themselves! Both really good finishers and because of that have a greedy streak (not a bad thing in a striker) . But if they realised they'd both get more goals if they helped each other, they'd be some strike partnership!
I just hope we keep both players after summer because they're both class strikers!
05 Mar 2018 21:14:41
And also the fact a 4 man midfield just doesn’t work most of the time in the modern game hence the reason most teams don’t go with a 4.
05 Mar 2018 23:46:26
What a ray of sunshine ☝️☝️😂😂
06 Mar 2018 09:41:43
Morelos better than Cummings have a day off, did you not see those misses at the weekend to add to the collection of absolute sitters he’s missed this season.
06 Mar 2018 10:09:55
i like the 4231 formation with the two wingers bombing on and windass in the free roll morelos drags defenders all over the place goss and docherty give the back 4 plenty of protection as do candeias and murphy on the wings when needed we play as a solid unit now defending from the front and attacking while playing the game the right way just wish we had this starting 11 in august with murty as boss we would be pissing this league right now.
07 Mar 2018 16:00:34
As modern football evolves, the only way now to play two up top is to go 3-5-2. The '5' in various guises is now the most important part of the team and is where the creativity, energy and drive comes from. Four in the middle and you go from a 2 litre engine to a 1.5 one, a noticeable drop in performance levels.
05 Mar 2018 20:20:49
I don't think we will see that formation against them. We will need 5 in the middle with one up front and after that showing to me it has to be cummings up front. One word describes that boy and its 'gallus'. Its something we have not had in a while. The swagger, the belief in his own abilities. The cockiness. Let him loose on them.
05 Mar 2018 22:32:20
Personally I don't think he's strong enough to play there on his own. The Celtic defence bad though it is would hammer him.
He's the nearest thing to ally McCoist we've had for years, deadly from 10 yards but not a lot else. Morelos will run the legs of them, put himself about and hold up the ball.
05 Mar 2018 19:55:58
Anybody got details on opposition for tomorrow's closed door game. Understand Wallace getting run out.
05 Mar 2018 20:25:45
Celtic, might as well make it three wins on the bounce 😉
06 Mar 2018 11:38:23
St Mirren from what I’ve heard.
06 Mar 2018 12:48:43
I heard st Mirren also
05 Mar 2018 18:54:07
Time to get rid of Bruno Alves aye he was good when he was 27 and worth 20m but now he's an utter passenger .
05 Mar 2018 20:19:28
I didn’t see Bruno give the ball away once yesterday? Why is everyone against Bruno. He gave 2 professional fouls away at edge of the box, that was it. He passed the ball well and he is the only one that wins headers back there. I’d take alves all day long in front of a Martin.
05 Mar 2018 20:28:29
Best ch at the club no question
05 Mar 2018 20:32:52
Bruno alves IS a better centre half than russell martin, i do agree people1872!Can't say anymore than that mate!
06 Mar 2018 08:50:14
If people can't see BA is the best centre half in the country, I really do despair.
As a defender and even goalkeeper I would love to have him in the defence every week. Brings confidence, gives advice, and never puts a foot wrong.
06 Mar 2018 10:31:34
Calm, assured, good distribution. Organises the defence. What's not to like? If fit, Bruno has to play imo
