Sport nationCeltic FC Predicted Line-ups for League Match Against Hearts
As Celtic FC prepares to face Hearts in their upcoming league match, fans and pundits alike are eagerly speculating about the starting line-up. Two writers, Ryan McGinlay and Tony Haggerty, have shared their predictions on who will take to the field for the Hoops.
Ryan McGinlay’s Predicted Team
Ryan McGinlay has gone for a strong and attacking line-up, with a few surprises. In goal, he has predictably chosen Kasper Schmeichel, who has been in impressive form this season. The full-back pairing of Alistair Johnston and Greg Taylor is also unsurprising, given their consistent performances.
In central defense, Ryan has opted for the all-American pairing of Auston Trusty and Cameron Carter-Vickers. This is an interesting choice, as Trusty has yet to make his Celtic debut. However, with his impressive pedigree and Carter-Vickers’ solid form, this partnership could prove to be a formidable one.
In midfield, Ryan has chosen Callum McGregor, Paulo Bernardo, and Arne Engels. McGregor and Bernardo have been instrumental in Celtic’s success so far this season, and Engels’ inclusion adds a new dynamic to the midfield. The £11 million signing has yet to start a game for Celtic, but Ryan believes he will make his debut against Hearts.
Up front, Ryan has gone for the attacking trio of Daizen Maeda, Kyogo Furuhashi, and Nicolas Kuhn. Maeda and Kyogo have already shown their prowess in front of goal this season, and Kuhn’s pace and skill on the right wing will undoubtedly cause problems for the Hearts defense.
Tony Haggerty’s Predicted Team
Tony Haggerty’s predicted line-up is slightly more conservative than Ryan’s, but still packs a punch. He has also chosen Schmeichel in goal, with Johnston and Taylor at full-back.
In central defense, Tony has opted for the more experienced pairing of Carter-Vickers and Liam Scales. This partnership has already shown its solidity this season, and Tony believes they will continue to impress.
In midfield, Tony has chosen McGregor, Bernardo, and Reo Hatate. Hatate has been in excellent form this season, and his inclusion adds a creative spark to the midfield.
Up front, Tony has gone for the same attacking trio as Ryan, with Maeda, Kyogo, and Kuhn leading the charge.
Comparison of Predicted Teams
While both writers agree on some players, there are some notable differences between their predicted teams. Ryan’s inclusion of Trusty and Engels adds a new dynamic to the team, while Tony’s choice of Scales and Hatate provides a more experienced and solid foundation.
Ultimately, the starting line-up will depend on Brendan Rodgers’ tactics and team selection. However, both predicted teams show the strength and depth of the Celtic squad, and fans can expect an exciting match against Hearts.
Conclusion
The predicted line-ups for Celtic FC’s match against Hearts showcase the talent and depth of the Hoops’ squad. With several players vying for positions, Brendan Rodgers will have some tough decisions to make. However, one thing is certain – Celtic will be looking to continue their unbeaten start to the season and secure three crucial points against Hearts.
