Redmond seems more intent on staying wider and I reckon he should start v PT on Wed.
I reckon Routledge did ok today, tough shift.
Although Brophy is pretty quick he still strikes me as too lightweight at this level......he is still young though!........and that attempt on his left side today was abysmal.
Plenty of time for him to develop.
Celtic are still rotten, Dundee Utd played better football on Monday against us but games v Celtic etc are not games we need to take points from.
We need 7 points from next 3 games if we are to remain in the top echelons.....

The wee guy (Jay Beatty) has something wrong with him (cancer I think) and he's always wanted to go to a Celtic away game so Colin McGowan or Ronnie MacDonald organised it so that he could go to one and obviously let him go on the park at half time and score a goal in front of the Celtic fans. Really nice story. The wee guy clearly was loving it and his dad was clearly delighted too.

But on Saturday I saw it a wee bit different, as you said it seemed to give them a lift (even though they'd already won the game), whereas from our side I didn't see one example of our players shouting at/to each other at any point, including Canning. McGovern as captain does his usual talking to the back line to keep them straight, but I don't see what possible effect he can have on the game, a keeper as captain has always seemed a strange choice to me. Deila just looked like he wanted to win it, and knew they'd done well to beat us at home. Good on him.
Priority for me right now is a manager who can gee us up and dish out a few b*llockings when necessary (e.g. the constant stream of attacks coming down our left side on Saturday which we did nothing to stop), and a strong captain who does the same. One of the only things we're missing at the moment IMO, we've certainly got the midfield/attacking options to cause trouble at the right end. I miss seeing Ziggy geeing up the fans at the end of every game, win or lose, as well.
