Celtic v Maribor - Official Match Thread (UCL qualifier, 20th Aug, 19:45 SS5)

:smiley-laughing002:

 

Forrest is crucial to our progression in this tie as much as I don't particularly like him he is or quickest player and has a creative spark that lacks throughout our attack, he proved this against Legia when he came on and caused their full back trouble late on. Hopefully Boerrigter can get some game time against St Johnstone and Dundee Utd as his pace would come in useful even as a super sub but at the end of the day we need to sign quality in the wide areas. Does anyone have an update on Brown I know he won't be ready for this tie but do we know when to expect him back?

 

Well you're right you can add ONE player still.

For the three qualifying rounds and the play-offs, a club may register a
maximum of one new eligible player on List A after the above-mentioned
deadlines, provided the quota of locally trained players is respected. Such
registration must be completed by 24.00 CET on the day before the relevant
first-leg match and the club’s association must confirm in writing that the new
player is eligible to play at domestic level at this time.

The question is do you still want our kitman * mashine? She is the one responsible for the * up:icon_mrgreen:

 

will be a close tie . Need a big performance from a front man , commons or stokes most likely . Will need someone to step up and create from wide areas ( forrest , boerrigter , izzaguirre, lustig ) .

 

Stokes? Are you serious?!

 

Might just partake on a visit for the return leg

 

celticfctravel.com are already letting people register their interest for the away leg.

 

maribor you had better dot your i's and cross your t's cause we are coming for u

 

You're a sad * then.

 

unfortunately he is the best of a terribly average bunch of forward options imo . Although i would be equally bored if pukey or the thumb started , it is literally a passenger no matter which one you pick . Lets just hope we sign a striker or commons bangs one in from 30 yarrds.

 

i was just about to quote him with

"if you look out for maribors scores than you are a sad sad * ". great minds.

When will the exact date for the home 2nd leg be announced?

 

Stealing that for the Maribor fans on reddit :smiley-laughing002:

 

Hope we park the bus in the first leg

 

is the home leg at celtic park?

 

This. Or even just trying to keep the ball instead of going gung ho in every attack.

Lessons have to be learned from our last away game so we don't leave ourselves exposed when we lose the ball. Especially if we do manage to grab a goal over there.

 

Both legs are.
