Not sure NL will mix it up but there’s a case for freshening it up but limited options, there is however also a case for experienced heads.

For me Morrisons energy and busyness beats Kearney to a starting place.
I would go with 4 2 3 1

(Hopefully) OX

Mullen. J Tod Ngwenya. Fraser

Abdulai. Amade

Morrison. Gilmour A Tod

Kane

Subs
Hamilton
Oakley Booth
Kearney
M Todd
Cooper
Bene
Fyfe

I can see it being 3-5-1-1:

-------------------------Oxborough------------------------

---------Chilokoa-Mullen J Tod Ngwenya--------

Todd --------------------------------------------------Fraser

----------------Amade Abdulai Gilmour---------------

------------------------A Tod-----------------------------------

‐---------------------------------Kane--------------------------

I`m not sure about Nuru in midfield but Lennon seems to like him in there for physically. We need to be running at their defence where possible, as they look suspect and their keeper is a bit dodgy. Set pieces could he huge so I hope we`ve got some plans for them.

Celtic are not physical in midfield. We need Nuru’s pace at the back to counter Maeda

Or to put the wee diving ***** In row z and actually give him something to roll around for

That carry on at Celtic park today as made me want us take a bit of every single one of their players on the way to beating them

Celtic have been awful for most of the season, but they can be scary when they get it together.

I think you have to select for pace at the back. A back 3 that can switch to a 5 makes sense. I think you have to have JCM, Nuru and Kieran in there. I`d consider John Tod as a wide option with Fraser as the other one.

It has to be Gilmour and Amade in the middle for me.

I`d start Cooper ahead of Morrison though. It`s 50/50 whether Morrison is a threat or a headless chicken.

I`d argue that Morrison is much more of a nuisance and has a higher workrate than Cooper, so I`m not sure that would be a good swap
