Celtic v Villarreal. Official match thread. All match chat here.

I don't see this as a meaningless game. Pride, cash and co-efficiency at stake.
Let's hope WGS fields his strongest side and we get a win. And to all those who are going, I hope you have a great time and let's hope the atmosphere is electric.

 

Well said

2-1 Celtic

 

agreed. lets restore some pride and give the folk who are going a good night

 

I'm not going because it's too expensive to go to, in competitive terms, a meaningless game.
But I hope we win for the sake of the extra cash, pride and the co-efficient.

My team would be

M.Brown

Hinkel Caldwell McManus Wilson

Nakamura Brown Hartley McGeady

Maloney

Samaras

 

I'm going for 3-0 Celtic. I don't know what kind of team Villarreal will put out, they know they're through now so they may rest some players.

I reckon we'll pump them tbh. revenge for their diving which cost us.

Boruc

Hinkel..Caldwell..McManus..Wilson

Nakamura..Brown..Hartley..McGeady

Maloney..Samaras/McDonald

 

Celtic to hump them ,no pressure game celtic to flow .

 

Hope we get a win on wed, greece are right behind us in the co eff, so a win could be the diffrence between losing our automatic champions league place and keeping it.

 

Anyone got any team news? Who's in, who's out?

 

Btw, 4-3 the Hoops

 

Says on Sky Sports News that GS will change the team about so we will probably have some guys that dont get a game, getting a game which is bad because even our full side would struggle against Villarreal. I expect it to be a draw either a 1-1 or a 2 each, which would give GS another record only manager with Celtic not to win a CL game in the group stages making us the worst team in the CL this year in the process lol

 

0-0 I think.

 

i cant see us winning if we play the way we did sunday! specialy if Boruc is " haveing one of his days "

tho if WGS puts out our best team then i could see us winning 1-0 / 2-1 lets see what happens and if naka and McGeady start........

 

Have a bad feeling we will either lose or draw hope not but i would like to see us win our last game hopefully 2-1 to us.

Don't know where you get that from, we ain't the worst!

 

sorry the numbers are a bit wonky

 

Might as well have this Starting team:

----------------Brown

Caddis------O Dea----Loovens--------Naylor

Mc Court---Donati----Mizuno------S Ferry

--------hutchinson---killen..

Afraid to say i dont really care bout this match still so so sick bout Aalborg game.. prob cause i was at it..

 

Have we had a bad year in the CL? ------ YES
Is anyone denying that?------- NO
Are we the worst team in it this year? --------- NO ..... The defense rests.

 

The defense has been resting alright pity its during CL games mate!!!
