City v Celtic

[gavin]

A much weakened side will play Celtic this 'evening' at 00.30. Erling, Jack, Kalvin, Oscar and the keepers should get a game but mostly kids. I don't think that I will stay up to watch but hopefully some of the youngsters will impress.

I watched it, yes it mostly kids for both teams but I might be wrong with Celtic.you could see the difference between City's second team players such as Lewis & Bobb and the younger ones.

It is going to be the worst pre-season ever for lack of first teamers but hopefully some kids will take advantage of that. We'll be doing well if we are competitive and it seems that we were last night.

It might be a blessing that there's not been much movement in the transfer market. At least the players should fit like a glove when they come back together . . . eventually.
