    Indeed. But for me Gamboa + Lustig is a no brainer.

    I don't think Gamboa is madness. Probably the safest option.

    I'd be more comfortable going into tonight with Ralston at RB, and Lustig at CB than I would Bitton at CB.

    * it, play Tony Bhoy and lets see what he can do!

    Love seeing youth players thrown in at European level. There always seems to be a magic moment when youth players play a big game. What a hard * defense as well. Ralston-Lustig-Jozo-Tierney. Celtic daft lads mixed with mental hun eaters.

    Look what happened when KT was thrown in vs Fenerbache at home and when Tony Watt came on vs Barcelona! Tonight could be huge for Ralston

    Ralston at right back is not the answer. For Celtic or the lad himself.

    You may be right, but Paul Caddis and David Marshall stepped up to the plate when called upon under similar circumstances. Marcus Fraser and Tierney too to a lesser extent.

    It's madness even to think about playing Gamboa tonight.

    Gamboa is a no go. Nothing to do with ability, more game time. We'd be * if the guy started cramping or locking up after 30 mins. Suicide.

    If given the support we can expect from the players around him pressing often I think he'll do well. Some might say it's a way to destroy his confidence but i trully think he'll be more encouraged at the thought of testing himself against Neymar.

    Plus, you can imagine Lustig will be waiting to pounce if he gets through.

    Aye * it, go out and go for it. David Marshall shocked everybody back in '04, maybe Ralston can do the same here.

    Yeah, I feel the same. Ralston and Lustig seems the obvious choice to me. It could be the making of the lad.

    Looks like he's starting. Don't fancy his chances up against Neymar but you never know. Tierney had a stormer on his European debut.

    Why not? Are we not building a team. Give him a chance and see what happens.

    Tierney done great on his European debut, but he wasn't up against the most expensive player in the world. :giggle1:
