    10 days break after tonights win. I don`t think a few players will be involved in the Real Madrid game.

    Strange decision indeed. Other than that, I do not complain about the line-up.

    Same team I suggested so gotta be happy with that. I do hope Sammy starts on the left and doesn't partner Hooper, but where the semicolons are suggests he'll be up front.

    Knew he wouldn't start Kayal, injuries + * surface = no Kayal.

    I'm pretty happy with the lineup, with the exception of the supposed 4-4-2 formation. I'd rather have Sammy wide left as well.

    Looks like a really strong line-up. Can see Kayal coming on for Brown fairly early in the second half.

    Absolutely shocked Kayal isn't starting. I rarely question Lennon and don't really criticise him that much in defeat but if this doesn't work then he is 100% to blame for benching our best player.

    Happy enough with that team, would have seen Kayal get a start but its good to have someone of his quality that can come off the bench if needed.
    Mon Celtic get into these *!!!!

    I do think it's understandable Kayal isn't starting. He was taken off on Saturday as a precaution, Lennon obviously isn't fully convinced of his fitness yet. It's on astro tonight and the tackles will no doubt be flying in so it's a bit of a danger for him. Above everything else IMO he isn't fully back to his best yet. Saturday the standout was Vic (as I'm sure no-one will argue) and Ledley is always gonna give you the same level. Lennon definitely wasn't going to drop any of the front three of Sammy, Commons and Hooper and Broony is captain so I think it was only logical.

    He's still struggling and it's a plastic pitch, wouldn't last 10 minutes.

    the picture for team news on the website shows the away kit has a tricolor on the sleeve which i never noticed, but the main picture on the shop doesn't have one? what's the deal, does it or doesn't it?

    Happy with the team except Forrest should be in for Brown on the wing as he can actually attack, and I'd rather have Kayal than either Ledley or Brown but not a bad starting line up at all.

    Stokesy, Paddy, Kayal and Forrest can all come on to change the game if needs be.
