    Boyata has worried me with his concentration, not just today against Inverness but in other games as well. Yes he has been solid in some games but I would rather someone in there that was more consistent and less likely to switch off at important times! My team would be:

    Gordon

    Janko
    Lustig
    Van Dijk
    Mulgrew

    Brown
    Bitton

    Forrest/GMS
    Johansen
    Armstrong

    Griffiths

    After Forrest's performance against Kilmarnock I would seriously consider starting him for this, up until that performance I was wondering when we would a performance like that from him again. I really like GMS but I am not sure if he has been suffering from fatigue a bit lately, his performances haven't been up to the normal high standard. Lustig to CB for me because he is always solid and composed and has played well at CB for us before. Janko in for his pace, strength and ability to get forward.

    As much as he had a couple howlers today there is no chance of him being dropped.

    Good team. Especially the defence. I'd add commons though

    Yeah that defence looks solid to me. Is Commons going to be back for the first leg?

    I wouldn't be so sure of that. I reckon there is every chance of Boyata being dropped.
    Do you think Ronny is going to risk his whole Celtic career on Boyata ?

    Commons (if available) in for Forrest and that would be my team.

    You said this before we played Qarabag away and you wanted Ambrose put in ahead of him I recall.

    Going by that, Boyata will start and we will keep a clean sheet.

    Johansen with another assist today, so we have decent backup for that position any way.

    That'll be the team :50: Only change might be if he decides to start Ciftci.

    Unless you're a Sunderland player, I don't see many players making complete howlers week in week out. Boyata will be under no illusions of what is expected of him on Wednesday. * up is not part of that. I'm sure he will be fine.

    Yeah I did. And Malmo are far superior to Quarabeg.

    Boyata will be dropped and Mulgrew will start. Watch this space.

    Due to your hatred for Ambrose though I found it strange why you'd want him to start. :39:

    Ok, I'm watching.

    In an ideal world, I'd want two strikers starting (Ciftci up top with Griffiths), but we all know that Ronny will go with the tried and trusted method.

    I know GMS had a bit of a dud game the day, but he'll raise his game. There's no way Boyata is getting dropped, he had a bit of a mare today in the last 30 mins or so but that's partly down to the midfield all but disappearing. I'd start Griff with Shifty on as a sub. :50:
