Celtic take on Dundee Utd at the weekend and can’t afford any more dropped points for the foreseeable future. That means the players must be at it from the off but it’s up to the manager who is allowed out onto the field and that’s where Saturday is very interesting.
Olivier Ntcham is pushing for a start in this side, Neil Lennon knows that. But who could he possible sacrifice to make it happen? We have seen what happens when you just wedge Oli into the team, we look off-balance and it doesn’t work.
Does Forrest get a rest with Christie pushed out wide or does Christie take a place on the bench? You could argue Oli could sit in where Broony is at the moment but I don’t think you’ll see many shouting for Broony not to start the game. Callum McGregor is outstanding and he would be the player who should be untouchable in that Celtic starting XI.
If Lenny goes with the same team who started against Kilmarnock, he will know a big response is needed to give the support confidence they can get it done.
Dundee Utd are back in the top flight and have had a good start. Everybody is out to stop Celtic this season and we must be at our best each and every single week.
