We’re virtually 24 hours on from Celtic’s 2-2 draw at Livingston and you get the impression many members of the Hoops support still don’t know exactly how to react.

If we played a five in midfield Jeremy Frimpong could play on the right and James Forest on the left. This would perhaps be fine in Scotland but for European games we might leave ourselves open at the back. I think James is undervalued for the work he puts in defensively. Jeremy however does get carried away sometimes. . It’s a difficult system to play and the wide players in the five need to know when to go forward and when to stay. If we play a five in midfield i think that two defensive midfielders sould sit either side of the central midfielder. Christopher Ajer could do it and next season with Scott Brown or Ismaila Sorro. That would require us to get at least one and probably two new centre backs. Maybe Steven Welsh could move up though it might be too early for him. It’s our defence. It always is. We can get away with too many attacking players most times in Scotland but in Europe we get found out.

I like the sound of Frimpong and Forrest. Think we’d get real pace from those two.
Just question marks over Forrest on the left. But I’d like to think he’d be a better attacking outlet than Taylor who is playing there at present.
