Celtic vs. Sevco: Starting XI’s and Analysis (if that’s possible)

For the third time in league play, Celtic and the club that used to be known as Rangers get together. Can the Bhoys continue the trend of domination?

With Sevco fighting hard just to keep a European place and Celtic fighting hard to put the final nails in the coffin of a sixth-straight Scottish Premiership title, plenty is on the line for these two sides.

On paper Sevco look a mess, with a caretaker manager, players unhappy and plenty of craziness behind the scenes. Meanwhile, Celtic are enjoying one of the best seasons in modern Scottish football.

Will those truths hold on Sunday afternoon? Let’s look at how the two sides will line up.

James Forrest is back in the Starting XI after picking up a knock a few weeks ago, meanwhile his second, Patrick Roberts, sees the bench as both are apparently back to full form.

Brendan Rodgers also isn’t taking any chances with the rest of the lineup. Instead Forrest’s return is the only change from the regular lineup.

His fitness and form are about the only questions in this lineup for Celtic. Will Rodgers stick with him for 90 minutes or will there be a need for Roberts off the bench?

As for the opponents? Will anything really matter in terms of their lineup at this point in the season? We’re asking for the guy who thinks we’re friends (because keep your enemies closer). The answer is a clear NO.

That club is a mess on and off the pitch this season, and if Dembele’s recent form is any indication Sevco are in for another drubbing.

Buckle up for another crazy affair between these two clubs this season.
