Thanks. I just wasn’t seeing that right.

This match has an ominous buffer-hitting feel to it.

I hope not.  I've got a real hope that the first team to score against us this year will be Livingston.  I'd obviously rather go the season without conceding, but I'd settle for Livi being the first to do it...

I think we need to be realistic. We will concede goals. As long as we don’t concede any goals against Celtic.

Let's not have any messing about tomorrow at Easter road let's get out on the park and get the job done  mon the gers .

A repeat of December's win will do me  

[Tannochsidebear 2,306]

Any win will do me, but a convincing win, preferably to nil, will go a long way to boosting confidence for the season, tick off another of the difficult away games, and get the rhattlers a bit more anxious, which is always nice.

 

With our key players rested in midweek, hopefully Kent, Davis, Balogun, Tav will all be fresh and raring to go.

 

I expect to see us start with Morelos Roofe Kent and Hagi as we know Hibs will have a go at home and so they should as by all accounts they are flying just now. 
 

McLaughlin

Tav Goldson Balogun Barasic

Hagi Davis Kamara

Roofe Morelos Kent

 

If Balogun isn’t quite ready big Helander will step in comfortably,  but I can’t see any other side starting other than the above.

Roofe fails to make it, so Arfield starts in midfield alongside Davis & Kamara with Hagi Morelos & Kent up front.

 

Helander starts.

I'm very glad to see Filip Helander keep his place. Easter Road is not the place to change a settled and effective central defensive pairing.
