They're going to be in a physical battle.
That was the one area of the park that really caused them problems in that League Cup final.
It's just up to England.
Can they make the balls, the channel balls?
Can they get players to back them up, put balls in the box and make Celtic defend?
That would be massive.
Can you make that Celtic back down and defend?
Yeah, for me, I think it was a crazy start to the game, wasn't it?
There was so much talk coming into the game about Ryan Mullin,
Obviously starting here today and it was a disaster of a start for him.
There's no getting away from that.
Then they follow up and then happen to go off the pitch and the young 17-year-old came on who I actually think has come on and done really well considering the circumstances in which he's been brought into the game.
He's looked to be calm and evolving when needed and obviously pulled that save off from Maeda.
It's a mirroring for me for 30 minutes but just not in the game at all.
Everything you associate them over the last couple of seasons is making Celtic defend.
They didn't up until the 30th.
the 30th minute of the game and it was a set piece as we'd spoke about and obviously Donnelly was unlucky and it was a good save from Sinisalo but out with that their best chances came from the pressure they were putting on the goalkeeper but Celtic I just felt the game got too easy for them I could obviously see the changes with the goalkeeper they had a lot of the ball they were moving it side to side there was no real purpose about it and they kind of get the false sense of security and that allowed somebody to get back in the game and then obviously to top off in the game Torrey Ralston kind of had a lot of pressure but he slams home that in off the bar
Yeah I think declaring one for me is killing Phillips I think he's got to do so much better I know it's not on his favoured right foot but it falls to his left he just had to make a good contact with it he just never looked as if he had real belief that he was going to put it in the back of the net and
so Sinisalo gets away with one there but that goal just before half-time I think would see you off somewhere else.
It's been a guy, whether it's for the national team or Celtic, when he's called upon, he comes in and he's usually solid enough and he'll get a goal here.
