Celtic vs Legia Warsawa (UCL 3rd round qualifier, August 6th 7.45. NOT ON TV).

I doubt if we signed someone we'd throw them right into a game like this anyway.

 

The ironic thing is,it was said with tounge in cheek but my opening statment is still true and couldnt gee two hoots :smiley-laughing002:

 

Aye, think Friday is usually the last day for registrations.

 

Can see us getting into the group stages, but I really wonder where the goals will come from if any when we get there.

 

From Paddy Power:

To qualify to playoff round:

Legia Warsaw 5/2
Celtic 1/4

Must admit I'm quite satisfied that the bookies see it this way,they are never far off.

So they are basically saying we have a 75% chance of qualification.

Lustig Ambrose Van Dijk Izaguirre

Johansen Mulgrew

Matthews.......Commons......McGregor

Pukki

Picking that was difficult and highlights our need for new attacking players.
​

 

Same team as Rejavik for me!

You'd drop McGregor and not play Pukki up top? Are you feeling alright?

 

My thoughts exactly!

Keep it tight to begin with, no need to be going gung ho away from home. Matthews will provide plenty of tracking back on the right hand side as well as giving us an attacking threat. Pukki has earned a start and Commons doesn't have to be anchored over on the left he can drift about.

I'd take 1-0 to us right now, finish the job at Murrayfield.

 

Fans need to watch themselves over there with regards to banners.

Told by few they will be in Celtic end at both games looking for banners/ambush/fight fans.

Bang on!

Matthews McGregor Izzy and Lustig will provide plenty of width. Mulgrew to support Ambrose and Virgil and building from the back. Johansen for distribution to wingers and good through balls to Pukki/Commons who always make excellent runs.

Only change here from the previous round is Matthews in for Griffiths which is something I've only just considered reading a few other people's line ups above. Griffiths certainly better in front of goal but Matthews would tack back better and probably better on the break for me. That said I think Griffiths will play and that's just as good really.

 

I saw it mentioned that it was on Stenta Ireland .
Pay little heed to programme listings , as they are usual compiled before the fixture was clarified .
Best chance of finding out about 3e is to watch TV 3 and they will have it on their adverts if they are showing it .

 

When in a hole stop digging , and if you are stuck up your hole try reversing .

 

I am sorry to inform you but there is no such thing as Scotch whiskey .

So you can forget about * Blessing Scotland for that .

If you want an "e" with your spirits . I am afraid you will have to go to Ireland and get the real stuff Irish Whiskey .
We are the only people in the world that will give you an "e" with your half -un.

 

Noticed I'm not the only one with Matthews wide right. Shows our lack of options to be honest.

 

Aye it's between him and Griffiths really.
