Shaw & Martial could both miss the game.

Stephens > Maguire> Caceres

Jack Rose hasn’t started a match (or made an appearance) yet for Walsall.

Certainly started the early games on the bench. Not seen if he’s started recently.

Was thinking this earlier - is he injured? Would have surely been loaned out by now.

The u23’s play Liverpool tonight. Will give us a clue if Vokins / Slattery / Smallbone etc might feature at Fulham.

Indeed. I want nothing for the best for him up there. It Helps him. Helps Celtic. Helps us by putting him in the shop window.

Celtic 3-0 up at the moment. 75mins gone. Hearts with only 1 shot on target so far.

Apologies for being so early. Didn’t know where else to put this. Southampton keeping track of QPR starlet Eberechi Eze : https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/9792606/southampton-qpr-starlet-eberechi-eze/

At least Lukaku won’t score for once.

Mitrovic on either of those fullbacks at the near/far posts...

Desperately needed that win today. A point from each game we’ve played is probably about right.

Shall we make this the official buildup thread? Ralph (unsurprisingly) has said he will tweak defence & attack. No shortage of options for him. Hopefully Hoedt doesn’t get to relieve his Craven Cottage nightmare of last season. McCarthy / Yoshi / Cedric / Boufal / Djenepo / Long should all get minutes.

Adrien Silva (Leicester) flying in for Monaco medical to join on loan. Wonder how that effects the #TonicLikeLeminade deal.

He's over there now, learning how to be offside on every other attack from the master

Echo saying Roma & Lyon interested... Monaco only want an obligation to buy if they finish at a certain level in the table. https://www.dailyecho.co.uk/sport/17854841.southampton-midfielder-mario-lemina-looking-new-club/

Celta Vigo & Roma have been mentioned before.

He’s likely on close to triple what Celtic pay their players.

The the surprise of nobody, it will be a loan: https://www.dailyecho.co.uk/sport/17853531.gossip-southampton-goalkeeper-fraser-forster-linked-celtic/

Can’t imagine it’s a permanent. He’s on a huge long contract here. Would assume it’s a heavily subsidised loan.

Monaco?!

Good luck with that. Monaco the perfect club for him. Looks cool, but very expensive!
