Still on the bench: Siegrist, Oluwayemi, Ajeti, Johnston, Kenny, Shaw & Vata.
The manager has decided to make these sweeping changes to make sure that the minutes are spread across the squad.
Well.might early in season but the passing was terrible both left backs forrest hides I don’t think bain kick a long ball to a celtic player not even near the second half very poor crossballs were never defended when passes did come off looked could but the players have been out for a while youngboy lawell looked interesting but some of the passes he got from bain was hospitalballs definitely need a centre back last minute goal like first comedy of errors players need big improvement showed nervousness and you can’t be with the we play
