Celtic Injuries. A blessing in disguise

How good was Crosas when he came on against Falkirk? Surely he would have just came on and had an easy ride for 15 minutes, passing a few balls about with little pressure to make mistakes under. Did he do anything of note that would mean he deserves a spot for the OF?

Be surprised if Samaras didn't keep his place for next Sunday but Strachan has gave us some mind boggling decisions so I won't say it's definate.

He hit two killer "passes" i seeing that brown is not capable off, on a sixpence from over 50 yards - plays like Naka, nice first touch and great awareness of whats going on around him

The complete oppoiste of Donati is the best way of describing him

I take it he played just like we hoped Donati would play?

Two killer passes in the last 15 minutes of a game against Falkirk in which were already 3-0 up in is all well and good. Could he do it in an Old Firm where the pace is 100mph though? That's the question that will determine who will start.

Doesn't look like a bhoy that cracks under pressure

When i say passes i mean 60 yard balls landing on a pin top

He threaded another 1 or 2 passes along the floor right up the middle that opened up the defence.

Exactly what we have been waiting for in the middle of the park.

still no seen the game.waiting for scotsport tae come on.but that sounds encouraging Dubs.maybe yer man sammy can benefit from some through balls,not in the air,down through the middle.the spanish midfield in the euros was unbelievable at times.hopefully crosas has the same confidence.

The way i see it we will need all kinds of balls coming in from the wings and the through the middle, no more so than on sunday against the huns brick wall.

The falkirk game is the first time in a long long time that the celtic team have looked balanced IE left and right wings were in full operation we didn't rely on mcgeady all the time which could be why he's been struggling this season, i think he was back to his best on saturday but that cos everyone was chipping in. Naka was equally class out on the right and maloney,crosas, hartly were working great through the middle. I think if we can have that variety on sunday we could see a proper hun humping.

The highlights were on BBC last night m8 - they didn't show his 3 cracking passes or Naka talking the piss out of the Falkirk defender with 10 mins to go.

Brown will start on Sunday - he's a WGS favourite - let's not kid ourselves. Crosas unproven so far, so will warm the bench for at least 60 mins.

McDonald is out and Jan looks doubtful, so I'm assuming it'll be the same 11 that started against Falkirk. If we do play a 3-5-2 tho' I'll buy you all a pint!
