    Great lineup. Although I don't rate Mulgrew in midfield.

    0 creativty in midfield so we'll have to have Samaras on top form, 'mon the Celtic!

    Can't complain with the team. Think it will be one each.

    He assists and score regularly from midfield, why you don't rate him I am unsure.

    Anyway, strongest line up we could have put out for this game and 100% the team I would have played. Be interesting to see if Brown is right mid as suspected as this is his best position and Wanyama and Ledley are our best central midfield pairing also.

    Hoopers back mate. He drops back and conducts the play.

    Sammy as well, for creativity. Mulgrew is one of the most creative passers in our team as well.

    Plenty of creativity there.

    2 up front and you think we're playing for a draw?

    Not enough width in that team. Not sure on the size of the Benfica pitch but it must be pretty narrow if we are going with that midfield?

    Not for such a long time have I had such high expectations of a Celtic team.

    I agree with this team. Commons has been poor since Barca game, could be a spark if we need him from bench

    Benfica usually play a narrow game.

    Draw or a narrow defeat I reckon, but the way we can play and have played in this competition anything is possible!

    Ray Wilkins just now on SKY regarding Barca - 'last year I thought Chelsea were the only team that could beat them in a one off, this year I don't think ANYONE can beat them in a one off'

    Great lineup! Exactly the team I would've gone for. Hopefully Sammy starts out left and Brown on the right. Hooper will be fired up imo, eager to prove his worth after missing out on the england call up due to injury.
