as if they're going to hurt you in that final third area, albeit they do look dangerous from set pieces, but Celtic on their day, and the players must know what's at stake, especially this Sunday, and what it's worth for them and some of them for their Celtic futures, they have to win this game on Sunday, there's no getting away from that, or you look at that running, it will not be easy for them, because the mood with the Celtic fans, if they were to be
Yeah for me I just think the level of consistency that Hearts would have to find to
to come away being title winners would be incredible considering we were looking at the league who was going to go at the start of the season and Tony Bloom obviously with that prediction they made as well it just makes it all in the story even more incredible
Kyle McGregor obviously being the single six.
And listen, it's hard to tell because Celtic's build for me hasn't been of the level you'd maybe expect.
So they're not maybe having the same amount of possession they've had over previous years in controlling games.
You obviously see that the second half against Celtic.
St Mirren last week at the same time there's no two certainties that Carl McGregor and Negrin will be absolute certs to start that game on on Sunday obviously Negrin frees goals on Carl McGregor because the captain so it's who then fits best
And alongside them James thinks it's so broken That you take Negrin out of it You move him further forward On the basis that he scores goals And then Somebody else comes in And that Shores things up In some way in there For me For that type of game If you were to put Negrin through the middle Take Chavancher out Listen Chavancher just There's no conviction In his play for me I don't even think His hold up play Is of the level That Celtic fans Would have been expecting When he came in January
At the same time, Hatati would be in alongside... Engels is now fit, isn't he?
Yeah, if Engels is properly fit, that would be my three.
It would still be one of them.
Either or, whether Engels came out for Negrin.
I think Celtic, when they've been at their best, especially last year, was with Day 3.
Ultimately, throughout the team, they just haven't performed as well as we've expected.
I think you could play them the number nine if Celtic were a fluid team but at this moment in time they aren't so they actually probably need someone to be a focal point the problem has and then that shows your best out of between him and Chavanchera for me so I just don't see him changing between Callum McGregor and Negrin and it'll obviously be up to Martyn Hill with the striker position but looking into next season that is another part where they've got to strengthen I think you're the big picture man Hugh I think what it tells us is
I think at the same time though, Hugh, when you feed the levels that Callum McGregor's went to over the last 10 years and the consistency, once you see that drop off and then him stop doing the things that we've seen him do consistently, then there's no any different to any other player on the team where you're still going to get criticism, which is fair at times.
If that whole team was still Ticking along nicely At that time At the start of the season though McGregor, Hattati And Nigren You can see him But Engels last year Were a large part of What Celtic were really good at last year So the midfield Free Did function A lot more than it did this season Last year the players are still there
your mind isn't performing at the same time so it's you go through the whole team and play as if you'd been there before and performed a lot better then you go back to the front three non-existent front three Shvanchara
He barely touched the ball, but that comes through how Celtic play out from the back, and then that control that we've just seen.
