    Milan is relatively close (from 1h to 1:40h by train) you might find it easier to fly there.

    Aye nae danger Lorenzo. That will fit our style like a glove mate. I think Juventus will be surprised by Celtic over the two ties.

    I think you can register one player who is cup-tied in January, someone will correct me if I'm wrong.

    I hope they don't get Llorente, he would bully the * out of Wilson and Ambrose.

    Also check possible flights to Bergamo, about 40 minutes away from Milano with shuttle service directly to the central station in Milano. Ryanair actually have direct flights from Prestwick to Bergamo, but they are seasonal and not sure if they are back flying in March.

    Yes of course we can go through, its gonna be one almighty task but so was qualifying from the group and we did that. Its 11 v 11, anything can happen in these games, a misplaced pass, a deflected shot, a tight decision goes our way. As long as the lhads who pull on the famous strip give 100% I'm sure they'll do us proud.:celt_2:

    I can see it being similar to our knock out games with AC Milan in 06/07 with not much in it between the sides but with Celtic riding our luck a gd few times. Hopefully when its all said and done though we come out on top. If not im happy with the treble and the fantastic 7 wins in Europe this season.

    Yes. I reckon not conceding at Celtic Park will be key.

    My prediction:

    1-0 to Celtic at Celtic Park
    0-0 in Turin

    It'll be INCREDIBLY tough, lets not kid ourselves. But if Celtic show up in both games, which I have no doubt they will, then we are more than capable of getting through.

    think the draw could have been more kind that being said we can go through a win at cp and hopefully nick a goal over there , giovinco pirlo vidal being the most obvious threats from juventus.

    forster , matthews lustig wilson izzy , mulgrew brown ledley commons sammy , hooper

    i would go with that at home and probably pretty much the same away

    Yes - our main problem will be matching their match-fixing budget. :smiley-laughing002:

    Hello celtic supporters,
    im an italian fan of Juve, so excuse my poor english.

    My favourite teams for juve was:

    1- Galatasaray
    2- Valencia
    3- Celtic
    4- Arsenal
    5- Porto
    6- Real

    So im quite happy of the draw.
    I think we will have some hard time in Glasgow, Celtic team is phisically very tough, well balanced, and with some young and interesting players. We will try to take possessions and 'make' the game, as usual, but we must stay very tuned against celtic breaks.

    Buffon
    Caceres Bonucci Barzagli
    Lichstainer Vidal Pirlo Marchisio Asamoah/De Ceglie
    Vucinic Giovinco

    I doubt that chiellini will be ok for the fist match, maybe for the one in Turin..big loss, but in caceres i trust.

    Mr Conte, will be the key... paranoid and absurdly competent man, living for football and juventus at 100%

    Have a nice time, mates, hoping for a nice and fair match

    p.s: no reason of fearing turin more then others city...is far better then Napoli, Milano, Roma or catania..and our new stadium deserve a visit.

    Increasingly speculation that Juventus are close to signing Didier Drogba who is out of his contract with the Shanghai club...He's training at Stamford Bridge ahead of the ANC but is apparently being courted by the Turin club
