    It'll be a very good training exercise at defending a first leg lead.

    A touch less pressure but still a great opportunity to show some maturity and professionalism.

    Will be a strange one do the team just sit and work on the defending for away ties in the group stages or try and get goal and demoralise Astana some more

    Interesting to see the score for this.

    Astana aren't playing this weekend, we are and we will have that long flight plus the heat.

    Game is kicking off at 9.30pm their time. Temp is forecast to be about 19 degrees.

    We will probably have the plane with the beds so the players can sleep. We will probably stay on Celtic Park time while we are there too.

    I think how Brendan says its not over and he's treating it as 0-0
    I hate to say it but get the early goal :) We might have a chance.

    Brendan after the game today
    he also said Nir Bitton should recover from the knock he picked up near the end for the trip to Astana.

    "I think he is okay, he said it was the bottom of his foot, it look like his Achilles jarred. He thinks he is fine," he added.

    Think we will go for the goal and then play keep ball the rest of the game.

    Many suspensions and injuries will Astana have? Will the guy with the bandage make it I wonder? Shitov is suspended I think.

    Could be a really good week ahead, secure our place in the CL groups, Paddy back at CP, and hopefully a favourable draw in the CL.

    Who is concerned about this game? No one? Good, that's the right attitude. :shamrock:

    I have huge confidence for this game because it's all about game management, it's all about tactics, and Rodgers really knows his way around these subjects.

    If I was going to predict how we'll set up, I reckon we'll look to dishearten Astana in the first 20 minutes by keeping possession, stopping them coming into their game. As this goes on, Astana's discipline could start to slacken and that's when we start projecting our attacking strength onto them.

    Honestly with us in such a position of strength I can't see how Brendan won't turn it into a solid victory. 2-0 to the Mhen in Green

    Yeah, pretty sure either Brendan or Davies said we will stay on Celtic Park time like we did last time.

    Reckon we'll batter them.

    Sit back and counter attack with the pace of Jimmy, Griffy and Sinky.

    We managed a 1-1 last year and we've vastly improved since then. 2-0
