I don't think Naylor would have impressed WGS after his sub appearance on Saturday. I couldn't deal with the cross ball and there will be plenty of that I'd imagine against the Danes. I'd play Robson at LB.

 

I think Strachen should go 4-4-2

Im going for a 2-0 celtic win ,celtic were ropey when they played them in the first game ,now that they no they must win or there out should really be enough for them to go and win ,aalborg are a good side but you must see that celtic are a better team than them ,celtic are due a win away from home but they must earn it ,im sure this is it .

 

Lets face it guys if we dont take at least a draw from this game we dont deserve to play in Europe at all. I know there not mugs but they aint exactly Man Utd at the end of the day we should be beating them

 

I can see Hinkel mabye scoring this game hes been getting closer last few weeks

 

Team News

Celtic midfielder Aiden McGeady has recovered from calf and knee problems to travel for the Champions League visit to Aalborg.
"Aiden has a great chance," said Celtic coach Neil Lennon.
Striker Jan Vennegoor of Hesselink, who has not played since injuring his groin against Hamilton last month, is also included in Gordon Strachan's squad.
Massimo Donati misses out with a broken toe but fellow midfielder Paul Hartley's ankle knock has improved. <!-- E SF -->
Hartley picked up the injury on Scotland duty but was considered fit enough to take a place among the substitutes at St Mirren on Saturday.
Barry Robson played for an hour in the 3-1 win after recovering from a groin strain incurred in a Scotland training session ahead of last week's friendly with Argentina.
"It is a must-win game for us," said former Celtic skipper Lennon. "I think it will be a British style game.
"We are in good form and we want to get that monkey off our back in terms of winning away from home.
"We have plenty of attacking options and players capable of scoring a goal at any time.
"It is frustrating that qualifying is out of our hands but we have to get on and win this game and that is not a certainty by any means."

 

Great news about Aiden and Big Jan. I don't think either of them will be fit enough to start though, perhaps WGS will sub one/both of them on towards the end to hold things up.

 

We need to get this away jinx off our back mabye a win here is something we can build on next season

 

We near enough have every 1 ready to go!!!!! wgs will play 4-4-2 against this team i have no doubt about it, we will go there to attack because they haven,t got the flair players that can punish you on the european stage we are the better side and as long as the players believe they can win, i think we will win and i also know villareal will get beat but it would be a huge boost if man utd and ourselves were 2 win.

 

I think as soon as we get our 1st away win we will start doing better and will pick up more points on our travels

 

We also need United to win

 

this is probably the most confident i have ever been going into an away game. i don't know what it is, maybe blind faith.

i just have a feeling we will come back from the death to * second place in the group under the noses of Villareal.

 

Id take 3rd place

 

----------------------
a think they can punish you .they must have scored about 5 goals in there last 2 games but let in more that's why we should attack.
