Anyone got a preference for a starting XI for the match? I'm so disheartened by our performances in recent months I can't really see that it makes much difference, but I suppose some picks would be worse than others.
Some would say it has to be 4-5-1 but I think the teams that take points off Celtic in the league this season will have done so with 2 or 3 up front. Besides, I'm not sure we have the personnel up front for 4-5-1. Miller doesn't have the legs to make a success of it and Daly just becomes a statue isolated from any of his team mates.
My feeling is that Celtic's fullbacks will push on and they'll have a midfielder drop deep to cover so they'll almost play 3-5-2 at times, so we should go 4-3-3 to take advantage with Daly spearheading an attack flanked by Miller and Clark. Our defence will be Wallace, McCulloch, McGregor and probably Foster though Faure deserves a chance, leaving Hutton, Black and Law for midfield, which I think could actually work.
In reality it'll more likely be that 4-5-1 with Smith and Aird on the wings and Miller up front to begin with. With Macleod I could have seen us unlocking them and creating chances, but I just don't know what threat we can offer at the moment.
