[Matchday] Celtic v FC Midtjylland Tuesday 20th July 7:45 Premier sports

Why take so long getting a CB in I just don’t get it. Can’t think of a team the now but I’d have Barkas, Welsh, Murray, Turnbull, McGregor, Monty, Abada and Eddy all starting.

 

Fingers crossed we can, if not I honestly don't know who will play.

 

Even with the recent signing spree, we’ve left it far too late once again.

We can still qualify but Postecoglou cannot be judged on these qualification games.

I’d go with:

Barkas

Urogihde
Welsh
Bitton
Taylor

McGregor
Soro

Abada
Turnbull
Kyogo

Ajeti

 

It's like the board want to fail and lose all that money and they do it every season * amateurs .

 

Honestly this game is coming too soon for us.

I think Ange will come good but we need a lot of new players. 11/4 for the Danish mob on Tuesday is massive.

 

You couldn't do that, could you?

I'd never be able to do that.

 

If any of us need reminding about how far the standard of player has fallen at Celtic then here is the proof !!
Not one of the back 5 should be anywhere near a Celtic jersey let alone starting a massive game like this (urogihde gets a pass tbf), and as for the rest of the team can anyone honestly say that if you were the opposition you would be worried about playing us ?
Hopefully the new signings turn out to be massive upgrades but right now i wouldnt take most of our squad in a lucky bag and the closer the game gets the more * off with the running of the club i get !!

 

Anyone on here successful in ballot?

 

As people say, the bookies know there stuff. Have faith.

 

Urogihde isn't a RB in any world.

 

Pervert

 

Some people are suggesting the Danes will turn us over fairly easily. I dont see it that way, I expect two tight games. Id say our chances are about 50/50 at the moment.

 

Don't think we have, pretty sure it's 24hrs, but we have missed the quarantine deadline so we'll need to isolate him I think, even though he can play second leg. I think...

Lot of 'thinking' and not a lot of certain, I'm afraid

 

Ange saying Bitton, Soro, Dembele and Christie should be back for Tuesday. Probably too early for Forrest.

 

I can't see Kyogo playing nevermind Starfelt. Other than Postecoglou not wanting to throw them in, there could be quarantine rules. We desperately need a right back more than anything, Ralston is nowhere near good enough and I don't think Urogihde is at the standard just yet. This is the team I think he'll play:

GK - Barkas

RB - Ralston
CB - Urogihde (Bitton if fit)
CB - Welsh
LB - Taylor

CM - McGregor
CM - Soro

AM - Turnbull

RW - Abada
CF - Eduoard
LW - Dembele

Think he needs to play Eduoard, regardless if he's away. Frustrating, but Ajer could have added a lot to this.

If this goes wrong, this isn't on Ange's head.

 

The Danes are only a little ahead of us in training/prep although much more settled. Not sure they take us on individual talent but I've zero confidence we'll keep them out. I'd be happy with 0-0 first leg and hopefully pinch it 1-0 in second. Funny feeling we'll ship goals in both games and possibly win neither though... Hope I'm wrong, it'd be nice to get another couple of weeks to keep gelling and get organized

 

Barky

O'connor
Welsh/hjedle
Biton
Taylor

Soro
McGregor
Turnbull

Abada
Kyogo/Dembele

Ajeti

 

Absolutely mental that we're going into a Champions League qualifier with Ralston and Taylor as our full backs.

Zero blame on Ange if this goes Pete Tong. It will be entirely down to the board's humming & hawing over Howe and inability to get deals over the line.

I dream of a season where we go into these qualifiers fully prepared.

 

Barkas
Ralson
Bitton
Welsh
Taylor

Reading that list of players above, you could have swore 6 months ago that is the start of the list of players potentially on their way out. Not the goalkeeper and defence to start or new look, modern celtic era thats been 6 months already in the planning.
