Looking forward to the match, all I can ask for is the players are fired up and give a good performance, we have nothing to fear, go out and play to win.

Celtic are vulnerable right now and after a european cup tie who knows what state their team will be in. Unbeaten at home since february there is no time like the present to get something out of this game. Keep it tight at the back and Ali and Morris at their best anything is possible.

I've a feeling Mackinnon and Nade might come in for Docherty and Morris. We could do with someone with a bit of bite, not literally, in and around Brown. We cannot afford to give him room. Morris was a wee bit off it on Saturday while Nade looked far more threatening. I'd give him an hour this time.

Good time to be playing them, they won't be giving us a second thought until Friday and I'd imagine their players would have that day off anyway to recuperate. Get intae them!

Might we worth a punt

Or we could just start one of the 2 proven and on form (and fit) strikers that have been consistently performing in a winning team for the last 2 months.

THAT would seem the more sensible option.

We've ever chance of getting 3 points here, or at least a draw.

Celtic aren't that good - so long as we don't let them bully us.

Anything we get is a bonus because you never expect anything from these games - a lot will depend on the referee.

We are clearly meant to just show up and admire Celtic if you look at Oddschecker - 15 Celtic players rated more likely to open the scoring, including one Aiden Nesbitt(?), then the first Accies name is Alex D'Acol! William Hill now have us at 11/1. Totally insulting.

Like whiskeytown I am baffled at the betting odds on offer for us - 11/1 to win ! That has got to be worth a tenner bet.

I hear that Lucas is 18/1 to score anytime too - thats another great bet since they are sh*te at corners as well.

I'm really looking forward to this one and think we have every chance of turning them over. Mon the real hoops !

Must be unaware of your prediction record.

Nothing to lose here, but they are the champions and they can run right over the top of most teams in this league if the conditions are right, so we will need our A Game, and a more than fair share of luck. They will have defensive issues thro injury and suspensions and we need to exploit that if we can.

This has very similar traits as this time last year!!

Accies can definitely take something from this match but we will need to defend well and take the chances that come our way.....apologies for stating the obvious!

I'm liking the 18/1 on Lucas to score and 11/1 on an Accies victory.

Would gladly settle for 2-2 draw.

Docherty or McKinnon with Gillespie and Crawford......

Never outplayed in entire game. But for a poor free kick give-away, they might not have equalised, and another bad decision in not challenging Griffiths (albeit fantastic leap and hang) for their second gave then a rare sniff of opportunity.
MC has nothing to worry about in this team. We competed for everything and Gillespie has inherited Alex Neil's role very well. MOTM in my opinion. Kurgan a very close second.

If we continue to play like this we should be more than capable of a top six finish.

First loss at home since February but nothing to be ashamed of today. Great team effort.

Can't believe we didn't take anything from that game - we were worth at least a draw. Certainly not outclassed. There's no longer any need for us to fear any team in Scottish football.

I think our defensive frailties showed today. Lucas gave away a free kick that led to the first and i think Tena missed the cross that led to the second (Need to see the replay). Also need to see the one Morris missed shortly before he got hooked which would have led to us equalisng a scoreline that we have no more than deserved. Maybe he wasn’t expecting it or he was just in the wrong position. I think we nee d to hand Dacol a start as Morris for me just lacks a bit of mobility. Going forward we were every bit as good as celtic so I’m disappointed not to get something out of the game. A sell out crowd but the attendance was given as 4910. I counted at least 20 seats immediately around me empty so I assume a lot of season ticket holders were no show for whatever reason.
