LCY had an assist and according to reports, played well in a loss. With the short turnaround time, LCY may get the rest but with a large gap to playoff spot, may get the start.
KBK had his first start and looked really sharp in the first half before tailing off a bit and being subbed out. Hopefully he gets another start but certainly things are hard to predict with managerial unrest.
YSY is ineligible to play against his owning club. We will see if his loan gets extended. Not getting an extension could be a disaster. He didn't play last weekend as it was reported that Dickov wanted to get other LB some time before this ineligible match.
Ki was again huge, playing strong after a so-so first 30 minutes, including setting up a shot whose rebound should have been a goal, and having hands in both goals. He's really playing some spectacular football... perhaps better than anything he's done at Celtic or Olympics right now. Hopefully he can stay sharp over the hectic holiday schedule.
