Celtic vs. Dinamo Zagreb, Thurs 2nd Oct, KO 8pm (BT Sport 1).

I guess I have to sign up for a month of Celtic TV so I can stream audio for this. Hopefully the result is worth watching when I get home too.

 

Hopefully we get a win and the usual dooms brigade have another night off..

 

Anyone know any apps or sites to watch the game on my Iphone?

 

I am nervous about this, quite nervous. I believe we have enough going forward but the defence, especially right back, is worrying.

I'd be tempted to go with this:

Gordon

Denayer O'Connell Va Dijk Izzy

Brown Kayal

Wakaso Commons Stokes

Scepovic

​

If Scepovic isn't fit team picks itself for me:

Gordon

Denayer O'Connell Van Dijk Izzy

Brown Kayal Johansen

Commons

Stokes Griffiths​

 

Is Commons going to make it, then?

 

I'd rather Ambrose, for all his flaws. O'Connell's put in one good performance in a Celtic jersey. Soudani's not an opponent you want him coming up against at this stage of his career. It could destroy the boy's confidence (like the game against Juventus did with Ambrose).

 

Yes

 

I'd even rather Fisher starting at right-back, if he's fit.

 

Insert "relieved" gif.

 

Ambrose will be at right back if he's in the team. It * up our momentum going forward and requires Denayer to cover him far too much, hides in the middle and allows too many crosses in.

I'd rather risk O'Connell than risk Ambrose.

 

Not confident about this one. Zagreb by all accounts are handy up front and Deila's Celtic haven't quite grasped the concept of defending yet.

I'm going with a 2-2 draw.

 

I hate Ambrose at RB. A fullback that can´t cross just doesn´t make any sense in my mind. Can´t understand how Nigeria do it.

 

Hopefully big Virgil turns on the style tonight and has Soudani in his back pocket. It's game like this that he should be imposing himself on if he has ambitions of playing in England.

 

He doesn't take people on when he's playing on the wing either. He'll do it in our six-yard box though. :smiley-laughing002:

 

Passing is awful and if there's a quick passing move he kills the momentum. Does my * in.

 

Gordon

Ambrose or ????
The Denayer
Virgil
Izzy

Brown
Johansen (last chance enite for me or Kayal should be in)

Wakaso
Commons (buttman)
Stokes

Subs
Zaluska
Lustig

Wish guidetti was eligible as he's on form

 

Anyone reckon he might go with brown, kayal and johansen to start off with?

 

I hope so.

 

Gordon

Ambrose Denayer Van Dijk Izzy
Kayal Brown
Wakaso Commons Stokes
Scepovic​

3-1 Stokes x2, Wakaso

 

If Commons is out I hope that's the midfield.
