Team’s Up – Bitton’s Back but there’s no sign of Kris Ajer

John Kennedy goes with an experienced side for the dead rubber Scottish Premiership match at Pittodrie that kicks off at 7.45pm and is live via PPV on Aberdeen FC TV for the sum of £12.99.

Scott Bain keeps the gloves with the back four are Kenny, Welsh, Bitton and Taylor. No sign of Kristoffer Ajer who as we reported earlier is the subject of a new enquiry from Premier League bound Norwich City.

In the middle of the park Scott Brown plays his last game at Pittodrie for Celtic before switching sides in the summer. How strange will that be to watch? McGregor isn’t rested (as usual) so starts alongside Ryan Christie, David Turnbull and Moi Elyounoussi.

Odsonne Edouard will be the striker.

On the bench Kennedy has Hazard, Griffiths, Soro, Rogic, Murray, Montgomery, Ralston, Dembele and Laxalt.

    How does this line up have Celtic’s best interests at heart??? He’s picked the 2 main saboteurs in Eduoard and Christie. Even if they play well tonight they’re not fooling anyone. They have been consistently poor when it has mattered. Tonight’s game is a dead rubber and it would have been in Celtic’s best interests to get some of the young players and fringe players some game time. That is the only benefit Celtic could gain from tonight’s game. Whatever the reasons for the sabotage be it something rotten within the club, or players trying to engineer a transfer, or idiots throwing bottles and bricks at the team bus, it’s clear now that the relationship between these players and CFC is now toxic and they need to go now. They should never be allowed to pull on a Celtic jersey again and Kennedy has to go too. I’m sure he’s gutted that he won’t get the manager’s job and I feel for him but he’s shown now that he is part of the problem and has to go. Look at Brown and Ajer… that’s professionalism and I’m sure it will stand them in good stead for the future and they go with the supporters best wishes. The saboteurs who were once heroes at the club can go and f**k themselves. The sooner the better.

    Why would any club want to buy a striker that couldny score in a barrel of fannies going by his performance so far tonight and his piss poor performance against sevco, unless there was some collusion. Is Eduoard trying to devalue himself in order to secure a bigger weekly wage? I see he scored when he played for the France national side. If this is what he is doing then it’s a massive f**k you to the club’s (i.e. PSG &CFC) who have done great things for his career and it’s a massive f**k you to the supporters who pay his wages. Get him Tae f**k!!!
