St.Mirren v Green Bigots

Forget about the paradigm of zonal defence which seems to dominate our footballing methodology.  How often have we seen two lines of defenders with the attacking opposition standing in between giving them the time and space to control the ball, turn and attack?  

Given the talent of the Celtic team we need to ignore social distancing and go back to the old system of man to man marking.  Some of us are still optimistic no matter how unrealistic that may well be but it's not impossible.  Statistically we must be due for an OF victory and provided that the saints go into the game psychologically prepared ( Celtic being psychologically overconfident (( understandably!)) ) we can win!

Very laudable sentiments. Statistically we are due a win, however that would take some effort and a bit of belief. We possess none of that , so Celtic to win easily. 0-4 I imagine.
