Celtic vs Malmö - Wednesday, 19th August Live BT Sport Europe

I never sleep the night before a European game....they start at around 4am in my neck of the woods. Too nervous to sleep before the game, too buzzing or * off (depending on the result) to sleep after the game.

Always worth it though! :icon_mrgreen:

 

Can't wait for this. Heading down from Abereenshire in a couple of hours to hit the bars before the match. Feeling quite confident about getting a good result.
My 3 year old is gutted he can't come down with daddy to this one, he hasn't missed a match yet this season.

I'm sure this must have been asked loads already, but why are we doing our home legs first this season? Compared to home 2nd legs in previous seasons?

 

Luck of the draw.

 

Game day! CMON THE CELTIIIIICCCC!

 

Absolutely buzzing for this! Let's get right behind the team and have Paradise rocking the way we all know it can. Even if the majority in the area around you want to sit in silence, stand up, make some noise and get behind the team - it only takes a few in each section to drag others into the spirit and get 60,000 behind the Bhoys. Biggest night of our season, it's time everyone (coaches, players & fans) delivered! Best fans in the world? Let's * prove it

 

Gordon

Lustig Boyata Van Dijk Izaguirre

Bitton Brown

Forrest Johansen Armstrong

Griffiths​

Can't believe I'm picking a team with Forrest over Mackay-Steven, but he has done very little in the competitive games this season, and Forrest was our best player down at Kilmarnock. Griffiths has to start over Ciftci in my opinion.

 

That's like me staying up for boxing or UFC :smiley-laughing002: Where you from?

I'm guessing it's about 4.40 p.m. now, so I could probably work it out, but I'm too lazy :icon_mrgreen:

Yeah, I think it'll be worth it mate.

 

Hi All, I'm not a Celtic fan, but I always liked them! I dislike Rangers, though!

Back on topic!
I've put a bet of 5 euro's last night with 7 games. And I got them all correct, I'm only waiting for Celtic to win and earn 305 Euros. I can defend if I put another bet with about 100 euros for Celtic to draw or lose, but I don't honestly see that happening, what would you guys do. How's Celtic nowadays, do they concede early, do they concede after you score first goal, or you score another one and finish off the game. I know Malmo could be tricky from set pieces. That is all i know about them.

 

Nice first post.

Good luck

 

Good overview of Malmo from STV: http://sport.stv.tv/football/clubs/...-guide-to-celtics-champions-league-opponents/

 

We've been solid in the qualifiers so far, but conceded 4 goals in 2 games in the league.

In the past we've been pretty bad defensively in Europe though.

 

I know I day this every year but it really is * mental that the most important part of our season is decided in August.

 

Thanks for your input. I will risk and wait for Celtic to win! Good luck to you guys too!

 

Good luck

This would be my team

 

Good info. Their first team sound decent but their subs bench seems to lack quality if required to come on.

 

This would be my team to but i do think gms, ciftci and izzaguirre will start but i hope not.

No matter how much I was against signing him and how a lot of people think I still don't like him, I really want Griffiths to do well and think he deserves to start here. Ideally we'd have someone better suited, but deal with reality.

Virgil always steps up on the big stage, hoping Armstrong and Bitton do likewise tonight, I know they can.

 

* * it. So much riding on this game, even more so than other years due to the increased money on offer.

Failure is not an option if we want to grow as a club.

Intae them Celtic!
