Helsingborgs vs Celtic 21/08 Kick off 7.45 - Live on STV

Can't wait to see samarass demolishing their wing can't wait c'mon da hoops!!!!!!!!!

 

That's the team

 

Intae these *!

Hard to predict how it will go as ive never seen them playing but they dont seem to be that good looking at their squad and results. Hopefully we can win.

 

Easy win. 3-0.

 

Oh man, already starting to get the butterflies in the stomach, still a whole 20 hours till match time!

It can't be said enough just how important this tie is. Right now I'd happily take a score draw or even a narrow defeat (preferably 2-1!) though obviously a win would be fantastic!

I'm certain the bhoys will raise their game exponentially from saturday's performance, after all, this is as big as it gets for us, the Champions League is simply the place to be.

Come on Celtic!!!!

 

I love stevemcgonagle's lineups

 

Forster

Matthews, Rogne, Mulgrew, Izaguirre

Forrest, Brown, Kayal, Ledley, Commons

Samaras

Can see this being a tough game would settle for a draw with away goal now

 

Would bite your hand off for a draw, score or otherwise, as it's vital that we gnome back to Celtic Park with our hopes intact.

Our biggest tie in years, time to step up to the plate Celtic.

 

wish i had the same confidence as you mate lol

 

hopefully we can do it. the recent form in Europe away from home has been the best it has been in an awful long time I would be delighted with a 0-0 draw hopefully would set up a great night at CP next week!

 

Big, Big game this, must take something out it and hope to win the tie at home, if not the board will have to hide under the table after not buying in a couple of good players.

 

2-1 to us

 

I honestly have no idea how this match is going to go. I fear the worst because our away record in Europe has been so poor in recent years but at the same time I don't think Helsingborgs are world beaters and we played well in Helsinki in the last round.

Hope for the best CSC

 

Any result that isn't a defeat would be tremendous for us. I fancy a 1-1 draw and even if we lose, as long as it's not by more than 1 goal then we're right in the tie. My team would be something like:

Forster/Matthews, Rogne, Mulgrew, Izaguirre/Brown, Kayal, Ledley/Commons, Samaras/Hooper. 7 Subs - Zaluska, Lustig, K.Wilson, Forrest, C.McGregor, McCourt, Watt

 

I think some people are being a tad negative about this. We showed against Helsinki we can play away from home and we're fresher now. Helsingborg are a pretty pish outfit in all honesty and I was elated when we got them as apart from Maribor I thought every other team would've given us a really tough game. I'm not saying this match will be easy but I think we'll win the overall tie by 1 or 2 goals.

 

Helsingborg must not be underestimated. They are not much worse than Artmedia Bratislava, Aalborg, Hapoel Tel Aviv, Utrecht or Sion were when we faced them in respective years. We should progress and it was a great draw but let's take nothing for granted. It's certainly encouraging that we've gone 3 back to back away games without losing, here's hoping it's 4IAR come 9.40pm tonight.

 

Celts are gonna BEAT EM'

NO WORRIES

 

No underestimating this mob but reckon we can take a lead back home , tough tie tho hopefully an away goal to ease the nerves


Mon the hoops !!

 

Just important we stamp our authority on this early, make them play our game.
We did that in Finland, and comfortably won that.

 

as long as we don't have our usual 1st 5 mins * up in europe i'm confident we'll go through
