Neil McCann: Celtic look at different level here


Recommended Posts

I think McCann is right in the sense that powerful and quick attacks could well expose our defensive frailties. To combat this I think we need to dominate possession and avoid losing the ball in central areas where we might be countered quickly (we've seen us lose goals v Motherwell and Kilmarnock in exactly these scenarios), as this creates the circumstances that Griffiths thrives in.

 

In other words, plan A needs to work!

Who are these lightening players the tims seem to have all of a sudden? Brown? Forrest? Bitton? They have only bought Sinclair and Dhimbele in attack and Dhimbele has hardly set the ground on fire. Tierney did nothing in the semi until Law came on and let him dance around him. We hardly gave them a kick of the ball at Hampden and their midfield is the exact same. We know our defence is crap but funny enough in most big games they seem to raise their game except for cup finals.

 

purely Sinclair and dembele

They're clear favourites and I'm not expecting much from the game, tbh. Both sides have strengthened since the semi-final game. But they look a more settled side than we do right now and we've misplaced the zip that overwhelmed their midfield last time out. Ach well, if we lose it'll hurt, if we get thumped it'll hurt more but it's not like it hasn't happened before and when we've not had the relative disadvantage we do at the moment. And just think what'll be like if we overturn the odds in their festering midden...

Whilst we have worries about the defence, the fact that Celtic will want to attack us, should actually help the way we play.

 

Celtic are the favourites but they're not as good as some people seem to think they are.

Who thinks they're good? Their struggling performances in Europe this season against poor sides shows that they aren't. Not to mention it's not long ago we beat them in the cup.

 

The problem is more how poor we are, as opposed to how good they are. A half decent Rangers side would be romping it home this season.
