Away to Ross County this afternoon and back to domestic action after our big European night in Turin.
After the disappointment of Wednesday night, we have to re-focus and get up and go again for what will be a tough challenge from an on form Ross County team who are 4th in the SPL!
We are missing some 6 players for today's game. Brown and Lustig are still injured while Wanyama and Matthews went off injured in Turin midweek. Samaras and Izzy both picked up knocks in that game as well and so are both missing today.
Tony Watt returns to the squad after recovering from a bruised foot.
Lennon needs to decide how much to change the team. Full scale changes or just minor to cover those who are missing.
We are left without a recognised RB although Ambrose can easily cover there......with the way he has been playing and Lennon's comments suggesting he is mentally fatigued at the moment, I wouldn't be keen to start him today! However we are also missing Marcus Fraser who picked up an injury in an U20 game.
I think it means going with 3 at the back and use Wilson as a RCB, Rogne at CB and either Mulgrew or Gershon at LCB. McGeouch could play as a RWB as he has done it before and either Gershon or Mulgrew as a LWB (probably more likely Mulgrew).
Ledley and Kayal in midfield, Forrest in front of them and Hooper and Stokes up front.
