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

Was what JPT said earlier this afternoon but the ticket office told someone earlier that over 3000 had been sold to them. Maybe more of them wouldn't be a bad thing - would make us raise our game assuming folk going are up for it to begin with.

It's just a pity that this game wasn't an actual CL game in October or November - would have been good for us to go over there with a few thousand.

 

I think its time for all Celtic Fans everywhere to have belief and create total energy waves and send us through,why because we can do it,our best ever comeback!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In tennis terms its like being 2 sets down and a break down in the third,but hey it can still be done!

 

No way they got 10k tickets.

 

sorry but true pistol * pete cash

 

I'm more hopeful the closer it gets. We're 2-0 down, really, at half time.

 

Legia played in second squad - 2 on 11 players from match with Celtic.

 

There is certainly an argument for playing Lustig at centre back and have Mulgrew in the stands , but my worry is that in addition to having a goalie who stays on his line , who have only 2 players to defend high balls in set pieces .

 

They are going to sit back, which is an opportunity and a threat. We had the majority of the possession in Warsaw while 11 vs 11, and now they have a 3-goal lead to protect. It wouldn't make sense for anything else to happen.

They've probably seen us struggle to break down Reykjavik packing the box away, tho things were very different at home.

Legia broke up a lot of our attacks in Warsaw by fouling, so it will be big thing if the ref is aggressive on this early. That could give us momentum to penetrate deeper- their back 4 weren't tested that often in the 1st leg- hopefully they'll struggle to get to grips.

 

I think if our back line is on song we have a great chance of going through, if they have a solid game then the tie is there to be won because we are going to create a lot of chances in Murrayfield but it's just down to whether or not we take them.

I'll be as optimistic as possible and say 3-0 Celtic, Stokes x2 and a last minute header by Mulgrew to put us through :bbpd:

 

If we get through, can we flog Ambrose and regard it as a lesson learned?

 

If we go through, it's surely going to be one of the greatest night in our recent European history. Can't wait for the game.

 

Mulgrew and ambrose must be dropped

 

Ambrose is suspended due to his red card.

 

They'll come over and sit back, if so we should pummell them from start to finish.

 

Maybe the people complaining about TV coverage can't afford to go or don't live in Scotland

 

Praying Mulgrew will be tbh

 

To be honest, I've more or less made my peace with the fact the Mulgrew will probably start. I reckon in CM as well.

 

That's not the only thing he blows at :bbpd:

 

Top tier isn't even opened. I think it should've been on the season book given no free home friendly this summer. It makes sense after the trouble getting to and from Murrayfield two weeks ago - not everybody will want to pay £20 on top of travel, which is fair enough.
