Ahead of Celtic’s Scottish Cup clash with St. Mirren, we at Read Celtic will role-play (not that kind) and predict the starting XI.
We will be playing the role of Brendan Rodgers and choosing the starting XI, as well as how the team are expected to line-up on the pitch.
It also includes a bit of insight into what we expect from each player, and what they can do to make the difference.
The Hoops convincingly beat Inverness 4-0 up in the Highlands on Wednesday night, taking their domestic unbeaten run to 33 games this season.
