And 'Chis' is looking for a good turnout
Gordon Chisholm is hoping that our soccer starved supporters will turn out on force for tomorrow's match against Celtic at Palmerston. Said 'Chis', "I've spoken to Celtic coach, Neil Lennon, a couple of times and he's hinted that there could be one or two 'big names' in their squad--but it's up to him who he plays.
"They do have a Scottish Cup match on Sunday but Celtic have massive strength in depth so, no matter what team he puts on the park, we know it will be a challenge.
"Apart from Ludovic Roy and Jordan McMillan (who has a wee knock) we're at full strength and I intend that all our players will feature at some stage in the match.
"They need to play football and everything seems to be going against us just now. Take Stephen McKenna for instance! He picked up a two match suspension in December and hasn't played since owing to all those postponments.
"We've been back at Toryglen all week for training but are hoping to get back onto grass this morning. Celtic will be testing opposition as we want everyone up and ready to go when we take on Morton at Palmerston next Saturday. We certainly have a lot of catching up to do!"
The Main Stand won't be open for the game but the East Stand will. Celtic fans will be housed where away fans normally sit--adjacent to Terregles Street. For those wishing to stand the Portland Road end is available.
Kick-off is at 2.00 pm.
