    The team leave glasgow on sunday, so the wildcard would have to be added before then you would think.

    Very difficult game for the 2nd leg. This is too tight to call.

    I'd play a 4-4-1-1.

    Would maybe drop Dembele but at the same time he has attributes you maybe want away from home. Could maybe even have him playing as the '1' slightly off Griffiths or vice versa.

    Its a difficult choice to pick the team against them. We have limited numbers of centre-halves. I wouldnt want to play Ajer in a back 3 and we have no-one else(Efe is too dodgy to play). So that culd rule out a 3-5-2. 4-2-3-1 we really need another defensive midfielder to play like that so we will need 3 in the middle, so it would probably rule out 4-2-3-1 for me.

    That only leaves 4-3-3 or 4-5-1 but we dont really have anyone to play on the left, it would mean moving Griffiths or Dembele out of position or only playing 1 of them.

    Fucknos what we'll do.

    I think we might end up playing either Tierney or Ajer at CB in either a 4-4-2 or 4-3-3

    Could be something like this

    Gordon
    Listing, Sviatchenko, Ajer/Tierney (New CB), Izzy
    Roberts, Brown, Rogic/McGregor, McGregor/Forrest
    Dembele, Griffiths

    Roberts/Efe, McGregor/Bitton/Efe, Brown, Armstrong/Rogic/Allan, Forrest/Christie

    I think you might just have got the team right, somewhere, in there.

    Think Commons is a shoe to start in net being honest Gordon looks shaky at times in net, Commons has height advantage on him as well and less hair so will be quicker off his line

    So Khazak League started 4 months ago. Astana are well ahead with 1 game to go before split. They were no mugs in last season's CL Groups.. The tie we did not want in qualifiers.

    It might benefit us going into this not being the favourites. Hopefully takes some of the pressure off.
