Celtic took part in a bounce game at lennoxtown this weekend. The bhoys ran out 5-0 winners against Kilmarnock behind closed doors.

John Kennedy used a large part of his squad over the two halves to give him an opportunity to take a look at some fringe players.

Has this bounce game changed is mind on certain players who haven’t had a chance this season? You would like to think so.

If we don’t see at least one surprise in the Celtic lineup next Sunday then I believe the interim manager is in self-preservation mode and the result on the day matters more than the bigger picture.

Yes, we want to win, but what have we got to lose fielding some players with a point to prove rather than put out a squad similar to the one who couldn’t beat Dundee Utd last weekend?

Be bold and brave, give Celtic fans hope for optimism or let them see that some of these players were in the reserves for a reason. The only way for players to gro and for Celtic to move forward is to look past the squad of around 16 players who have let us down for most of the season.

What does a surprise look like? Soro starting over Brown again, something which just stopped happening all of a sudden. Leigh Griffiths starting the game, no he’s not everyone’s favourites but he is going to be here next season. Luca Connell being given a certain amount of minutes. Show us something we haven’t seen this season!
