Means there’s a greater likelihood it’s Ajer and Boyata, and he’d certainly have a field day with that pair He is indeed cup tied. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These ***** are beatable, all right. As much as I'm not a fan of either man, I honestly believe that Neil Lennon is a better manager than Brenda. Played Celtic 4 times this season, with 2 draws, 1 defeat and 1 win. His record in Europe with Celtic pisses all over Rodgers, and faced more competition in his time there as well. He may not have the tan, the white smile (he's certainly not got that) and the smooth media personality, but along with Robinson he knows how to get a result against this lot. The game is winnable if we do what we do, and the officials don't fuck it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kmcalpin Posted April 23, 2018 Report Share Posted April 23, 2018 It seems that Andy Rose has a cracked, not broken, collar bone. He's been ruled out of remaining league games and is in a race against time to be fit for the final. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he’ll have a field day against Ajer and Hendry. I agree, Main is a different prospect all together for them to handle and he could give them nightmares if we dictate our style of play on them. However, over the season they've conceded fewer league goals than any team in Scotland and it's one of the best records in the UK. We've scored twice against them in 4 games. One the goals was an OG. We need to find a way to goal, and that's proved difficult so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ya Bezzer! Posted April 23, 2018 Report Share Posted April 23, 2018 Celtic's defence is weak and Main can be a handful but it won't be down to him whether we win or not. We need to press high up the field and get runners from deeper positions. It's going to be players like Chris Cadden or Richard Tait that create the conditions for a victory. If they have poor or average games it won't happen. If they have good or excellent games it can happen. Overall we need intelligent running and a forward looking philosophy. If we allow Celtic space and time to play, forget about it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the first time in a few years the SFA/SPFL didn't manage to sell any domestic games to the US this season. A VPN and BBC iPlayer will be my stream of choice. (I suppose there's an outside chance a pub might have the same setup, or some dodgy Celtic TV stream, but no idea where you'd find out about that). EDIT: There may also be an outside chance it's shown on one of the Spanish/Latin American channels, but those can be difficult to track down and often it's a replay rather than live.

Toxteth O'Grady Posted April 23, 2018 Report Share Posted April 23, 2018 http://www.motherwellfc.co.uk/2018/04/23/injury-update/ Injury update on eight players Monday, April 23, 2018 Motherwell have a number of players currently sidelined through injury. Andy Rose suffered an injury to his clavicle during the 0-0 weekend draw with Ross County. After having an x-ray on Sunday, the club are monitoring how long it is necessary for him to be out and are, at this stage, still hopeful he will make the William Hill Scottish Cup final on May 19. Curtis Main was also injured during the game in Dingwall. The striker had an x-ray on his wrist on Monday which didn’t show any initial fracture. He will undergo further tests this week to determine the extent of the injury but is not expected to spend long on the sidelines. Carl McHugh also damaged his front teeth during the match with County and had dental treatment on Monday. He is not expected to spend any time out. As has already been announced, George Newell fractured his cheekbone during the William Hill Scottish Cup semi final win against Aberdeen. It is not yet known whether the young striker will need surgery. The medical staff are also continuing to monitor an ankle knock sustained by Nadir Çiftçi in training. Ellis Plummer, Peter Hartley and Craig Tanner remain our long-term injury absentees. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our initial allocation of tickets will be for 12,700, with the potential to receive the additional sections B4 and B5 in the west stand, should we sell.

Yoshi-1991 Posted April 25, 2018 Report Share Posted April 25, 2018 So where would our buses get parked then? The parking for the semi was ideal, right outside the stand, I assume it won't be so close at the other end? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scoojy Posted April 25, 2018 Report Share Posted April 25, 2018 League cup final was right in the Hampden car park. I assume it's the same this time. Only thing is you need to go up to M77 and approach from the other side instead of M74 to Polmadie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All other independent coaches are parked towards Victoria Road on Langside Road and walk via Queens Park Drive and Cathcart Road. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
