Prematch: Celtic Vs Dundee (22 November 2014)

[Ludo*1]

Celtic are missing Scott Brown who seems to make them tick after getting sent off in the last game. Have to be aware of that Guidetti, but no more so than they should fear Clarkson.

[Caleyhood]

It will be hard but hope we attack from the start don't give them any space

This site is much better than dundee mad those ads and the slowness were a pian

[Caniggia]

Gutted I'm missing this one, I think it will be a 1-1 draw with Clarkson getting another goal to add to his tally.

Celtic games are always tough, especially at Parkhead, so I'd be delighted with a draw.

On the other hand, they are certainly not invincible and if the Dundee eleven play with a can do attitude, then......

2-1 win for the Dee.....eternal optimist

Celtic are no great shakes, especially if Brown is missing and hopefully Gordon too

[JoeCovenant]

I'd be well pleased with a draw for this one.

Celtic may be a shadow of the team they once were, but we are still not consistent enough to be *too* optimistic.

(That said... how cool would it be if we sneaked a win!) 

I was looking at our form yesterday and (although it's easy to say "Aye, but we didnae!) If we had won the games we have drawn we would be sitting CLEAR at the top right now... and most of those draws we 'could' have won!

Yeah.. changed my own mind - 6-0 The Dee! 

[Cobra]

A point at Celtic Park would be excellent. I think we've got the confidence and quality to do it. I'm backing another 1-1.

McGowan was outstanding against them at Dens. Hopefully he'll perform like that again. Be interesting to see if Roberts starts because he was unplayable at times in the first game.

[JDee]

My team would be:

                Bain

McGinn McPake Konrad Dyer

        McGowan Thomson 

   Boyle Harkins Stewart

             Clarkson

Think with Ferry replacing Boyle, that that's our strongest team. I'm assuming Ferry won't be fit yet. 

[Andershen]

I think Thomson is still off the pace. I would start Jim next to McGowan but apart from that same team as JDee.

[Mr Gandosaur]

Don't think Thomson's performances from the bench have merited a start tbh. If I had to drop anyone it would be Jim but I'd like us to go with the same 11.

Also don't agree that Ferry is part of our "strongest" 11. Really don't see the hype over him at all.

[Baldee]

Nothing to lose with this game. Anything is a bonus.

Would like to think we will "go for it" but can't see it.  Would just like us to play well, play with confidence. If we get the breaks great, if not that's the way it goes.

As long as we don't lose any early goal then we have a chance. If we happen to score first, I fancy us. We are decent at defending a lead, playing on the break.

Understand the thoughts on Ferry. Not everybody's cup of tea but I like him. Like his attitude and commitment, plus a decent player.

                Bain

 

McGinn McPake Konrad Dyer

 

        McGowan Thomson 

 

   Boyle Harkins Stewart

 

             Clarkson

 

Think with Ferry replacing Boyle, that that's our strongest team. I'm assuming Ferry won't be fit yet.

This would be my choice also. Easily morphs into 4-4-1-1 giving support to the full backs. I expect if Ferry was fully fit an alternative would be Ferry as the holding and McGowan in for Boyle. Either way we have a few options.
