Qarabag v Celtic- Wednesday 5th August, K.O 17.30, live on BT Sports

If that happens then the club would quite rightly be livid.

 

A bit nervous in truth, but hopeful.They will be a lot more nervy though im sure.

P.S.Even if i won the Euromillions, i would never leave Scotland for Belgium!!! (no offence actual Belgians.)

 

If we do lose , I hope people just accept defeat dont start asking for appeals and that stuff over the pitch.

UEFA pass the Qarabag pitch - but won't let Celtic train on it? Aye very good.

* joke. UEFA are a bunch of *.

 

* pathetic from Uefa

 

We must be able to train for at least an hour on the pitch surely? I thought that was a solid rule in place for every visiting team which couldnt be changed?

 

Will be a travesty if we get put out of the champions league by a team that came to Celtic Park and didn't have a shot on target. Saying that though the conditions are far from ideal and anything can happen in football.

 

I'm confident of us scoring, and I don't see them getting 3 goals.

From there previous results they seem good defensively, but quite poor attacking wise.

90% sure we'll qualify.

 

Cheers Keano

 

NB mate, stole it off twitter

 

I won't feel so confident until I see how we start, but I generally agree. All I would say is, as good as they looked defensively from open play, they were poor defending set pieces, particularly corners. I think if we play for set pieces and corners we will score.

Theres no way we should be taking our first corner on the 80th minute.

 

I feel certain we'll do the business, we will have had people telling the players the know how about how to deal with the conditions and if the pitch is this * their admittedly slick passing wont be worth a *.

 

I dont know why but ive never been more nervous for a game in my life we have so much riding on it and in many ways we have one foot in the next round. It might be because of the whole Legia/Maribor thing last year or maybe its the away leg to Karagandy thats playing in my mind but al tell u this much I do not enjoy these qualifiers one bit lol. I do think we will go through but I also think its going to be an emotional rollercoaster tomorrow.

 

Hope this game is definitely going ahead,mostly for the fans who have travelled over,bit of a joke if it isn't.

Griffiths/Commons available?

Should be fine, no word on Charlie though, probably out.

 

Only 2 more days to get out the way!

 

Basically, searing heat, not being allowed to train on the surface, and UEFA getting involved to check on all this is NOT what we need ahead of the biggest game of our season. If this was Man U or Chelski the game would be moved, of that I have no doubt. It's because we're Scottish they look at it, and think '* it, go ahead'. Celtic should get a by into the play offs, because the alternative to move it is NOT an option, and Celtic have an SPL game at the weekend also.

I fully expect UEFA to kick Carryabag out the competition.

And if they don't do that, maybe Carryabag have some ineligible players in their midst...

 

I'd start Commons now. Something I wouldnt have done if the pitch was okay. If we score, it will come from a set piece, or a Commons screamer. Not some champagne pass from Bitton.
