I'm curious to see what team Lennon starts with on Sunday at Hampden Park because I reckon, based on last night's interview in which he vilified some of the "over the top" comments from certain hun press circles and other extreme reactions, he'll use the negative comments to his advantage. I think the Hoops will win this match more comfortably than many people perceive it. Note the last time Celtic have lost any domestic cup tie was four years ago in 2016. Also IMO the starting team that played the Dons last Sunday will most certainly be different from that one with quite a few changes rightly imposed to win this cup tie and do it convincingly. He must "shore up" his defence first and foremost - prob "pair up" Bitton with Duffy and give the Irishman the "benefit of the doubt" as he has not actually made too many big errors since arriving at Celtic Park and I see Ajer as being the bigger weakness in not providing proper defensive cover. Also Laxalt has never impressed me at all and I'll be surprised if Taylor is not returned to the LB position. It should be a good game but I'll predict a 2-0 or 3-0 Celtic win this time.
