Grady set to sit out Hoops cup clash
Grady, 38, was promoted to his first management post after David Irons left the Irn Bru First Division club in September.[LNB]He is still registered as a Morton player and featured earlier in the season when the club was struggling with injuries.[LNB]However, the former Gretna, Hamilton and Ayr United striker is happy to let one of the younger players look for cup glory against the Parkhead men, if the fourth-round game beats the weather.[LNB]"My name is still in the hat," Grady laughed.[LNB]"But seriously, I'm not tempted at all.[LNB]"I've had my time playing in these types of games.[LNB]"I am hoping there is a player in my dressing room who is going to go out and make a name for himself and we are talking about him rather than myself.[LNB]"I am still registered to play.[LNB]"I have played a couple of times when we had injuries but I felt I was watering my performance down, too busy thinking about the coaching side of it and forgetting what I was on the pitch to do, which was to play.[LNB]"I wasn't doing my team mates any favours.[LNB]"So the situation is if the players are fit and I'm not needed, then I won't play."[LNB]Grady is confident his side can cause an upset but does not buy in to the popular perception that Celtic's defence is vulnerable.[LNB]"If a team works hard enough and tries to be positive then they will always create chances no matter what defence you are playing against," he said.[LNB]"Yes, they (Celtic defence) can be exposed like any others.[LNB]"There are going to be times when they are caught off guard or there has been good play by the opposition but I don't think they are a bad defence.[LNB]"They are international players and they are international players for a reason - they make the right decisions at the right times, most of the time.[LNB]"Celtic are playing really well and are a bit like ourselves, creating a lot of chances and not taking enough of them.[LNB]"So it could be an entertaining game.[LNB]"Hopefully, though, we have a few things up our sleeves."[LNB][LNB][LNB] Morton v Celtic.
