67 Hail Hail fans believe that starting Marcelo Saracchi over Kieran Tierney is the right call for this weekend’s game against Kilmarnock.
Supporters signed up to TalkingPoints, which you can do for free, to decide on the battle of the left-backs.

Who are you picking?
Celtic fans pick Marcelo Saracchi due to plastic pitch factor
One thing to take into consideration with Kilmarnock away is the artificial pitch.
It is a controversial topic at the best of times but with Celtic involved in a Europa League play-off tie just a few days later, risking Tierney is not a priority for supporters.
One fan commented: “Start Saracchi and keep KT fresh for the Europa League game on Thursday.”
A second chimed in, adding: “Don’t think you can drop Saracchi after his goal at the weekend.”
Another wrote: “Saracchi for the surface alone.”
This user agreed, replying: “On that plastic pitch you want Saracchi.”
So did this supporter, who commented: “Saracchi. No point in risking Tierney on that pitch.”
Marcelo Saracchi should be Celtic’s first signing of the summer
With a major rebuild being prepared for next season, the easiest thing the Hoops can do is tie down the Uruguay international to a permanent deal.
Boca Juniors’ registration rules mean that Saracchi is someone who they would like to get off their books and the Hoops would be a perfect home.
Who is a loan player you fell ln love with while they were at Celtic?
Firstly, there would be no settling in period, he is used to the style and demand of the club. Crucially, he has also proved to be a more than capable rotation option with Tierney.
