[Matchday] Zenit v Celtic (18:00 GMT - 22/02/18) BT Sport

Hearing they are a counter attacking team fills me with confidence. Our style is great against counter attacking teams as we try keep as much possession as possible and won't get carried away pushing men up the field. It explains why the first leg went the way it did. I hope they don't change styles.

Worried about going though. We better come through this tie, don't fancy being freezing and getting pumped out.

 

Our back line and broony I wouldn't worry too much about the temperature ajer is nordic jozo is balkan lustig is nordic aswell should be used to the cold

...and Tierney would wear shorts and t-shirt to climb Mount Everest.

 

We need to score 1st in this match.
They haven't lost a match at home in Europe where they have scored first since they lost to Benfica 2-1 in March 2016

 

An early goal would be brilliant but we don't need to win though. I think we just need to try keep things tight for 30 minutes, if we can get through that then they'll need to come out and that should hopefully lead to gaps that we can exploit.

Even if we were to lose an early goal then there's no need for panic stations. I have full faith we can nick a goal at some point over the 90 mins, which leaves them needing at minimum 3 to progress.

 

Remember we don’t tend to do things the easy way when we’re in a decent position in Europe.

Can see it being a long night with Zenit scoring early.

Zenit 2-1 Celtic.

 

I've seen people say Zenit are a counter-attacking side. But I expect them to take control of the game in Russia. And if the last ten minutes at Parkhead are anything to go by, I don't think we'll see more than 40% of the ball.

Then again, I don't think we would might sitting deep and counter-attacking on Zenit. They left a few holes last week for us to exploit on the counter - and if we score 1 in Russia they will need 3.

I would play the same formation as last Thursday. 3 centrebacks, Tierney and Forrest as wing back. With three holding mids. McGregor deserves to keep his place, however, Rogic would be very useful to bring on to play in the hole behind Dembele.

 

Hurry up already

 

If we don't see Brown in a long sleeved jersey that day, we never will

I actually wonder if the game will go ahead with such temperatures

 

They will probably close the roof of the stadium in such weather. Also, I think there's heating under the turf. The game will be played no doubt.

 

I would be over the moon if that proved to be the final score on the night on Thursday getting us throigh on the away goals. I think the first 15 minutes is crucial. Too many times on the road we have caved and given away multiple early goals. We have to be much more solid this time. Having said all that I think we will need to score over there to get through. But if we can get that away goal then I think we have a very real shot at this.

 

I think we’ll pump them if we can play like we did on Thursday, not sure if they are * or we just made them look *.

 

Zenit will score but I'm confident we will as well 2-1 defeat going through on away goals

 

Zenit went to Italy after playing us so I don't think they will be much further on match fitness wise than they were on thurs just hope we get similar breaks to what we did in Anderlecht

 

Quietly confident of a win

 

I think it'll be 2-2 or 4-2 to them. all depends on how our defence manages. We can score goals no problem

 

Think we will win this one . 2-1 or 3 -1

 

If Mancini is manager then I think we are capable of winning guys a * and seemingly caused a ruckus in dressing room
