    Rodgers confirmed Toure will be in the squad for tomorrow night.

    BR on Kolo Toure: "Kolo will be in the squad. He has trained well since coming in. I'm confident he can play a part tomorrow."

    BR on injuries: "Nir [Bitton] will struggle for fitness tomorrow. Same goes for Erik [Sviatchenko]. Stefan [Johansen] is back. (LA)

    Tricky game.. not so much a potential banana skin as this team have had some very decent results in Europe recently. Looked quite fast when breaking forward and will not be surprised if they do score an away goal.

    We need our midfield and forwards to do the business. Keep it simple at the back, hopefully Allen/Rogic play as they can pass the ball.

    Griff and Roberts should keep their defence busy so a perfect game for our other players to find a bit of space and get shots away.

    Would love to see an early goal ( or two ) to settle nerves and get the place bouncing & rocking.. sure the GB and the standing section will get the place going.

    Hope its a great night for all of you lucky enough to be going

    This is the first I heard of it not being on tv.
    What a disaster?
    I'm at a funeral tomorrow, I presume I'll get the game on my phone on the VIPLEAGUE?

    Sounds like Kolo may start? Think it would be the right decision. Anyone disagree with the move? Or doubt he will start?

    I'd rather gamble on his experience than roll the dice again with Efe. If he tires, sub him. Hopefully the tie will be over by then.

    Hoops boss Brendan Rodgers speaking to the media here at Lennoxtown: "Very much looking forward to tomorrow's #UCL match.


    BR: "It will be a different game than what it was out there. We'll have a great support behind us and the players enjoy playing at home.


    BR: "Of course we have to finish off the job. We know it will be a tough game but we are really looking forward to it.


    BR on Kolo Toure: "Kolo will be in the squad. He has trained well since coming in. I'm confident he can play a part tomorrow.


    BR on injuries: "Nir [Bitton] will struggle for fitness tomorrow. Same goes for Erik [Sviatchenko]. Stefan [Johansen] is back.



    BR on Dedryck Boyata: "Coming on well. He will start training with the conditioning team & hopefully play a part in the @Inter match.


    BR on Jozo Simunovic: "Still a little bit of time away.


    BR: "The team is developing well. Players are getting fitter, stronger and becoming more cohesive.


    BR: "We understand the magnitude of tomorrow's game but as I said we are looking forward to playing at home. The crowd have been brilliant.


    BR: "Tomorrow night we have to own the pitch & we have to get the result. That will be the aim going into all home games this season.

    You'll get a ticket but the ticket office might be busy before kickoff. Not sure how good the seats that are left will be either.

    So I am maybe, want a lift? :56:
    I usually get to into the Carpark at the ground for like 1PM, buy my ticket, meet a few mates and what-not. Decent day out in Glesga, then game time.
    I am impulsive, so I might go tomorrow....

    I tried to do it online but had to get one for my dad as well and we usually do it off my online account, for some reason only my seat was showing. Phoned them and was on for ages last week and no doubt skinned me a fortune, had a quick look and man u etc dont use an 0845 number, but to be fair online usually works well.
