    Only ESPN UK have it scheduled though no doubt there will be internet streams. Not sure if Channel 67 are broadcasting though most likely.

    Cant believe people can even us getting a draw. Im usually the most optimistic of Celtic fans, but I just cant see it in this instance. Falcao is an excellent striker and he will cause us severe problems. 1-0 or 3-1 madrid for me lads, sorry :38:

    I would go 4-2-3-1

    Something like:

    Cha-K.Wilson-Mulgrew-M.Wilson

    Kayal-Ledley

    McCourt-Ki-Commons

    Hooper

    Gives protection in front of the defence yet gives some attacking options, as well as playing the guys that can control a football and play a pass.

    I'd rather go down swinging with something inventive like that than what will probably happen:

    We'll go with the the predictable 4-5-1 with the usual suspects, lose an early goal, fumble around for an hour, lose another goal, Brown will get sent off, lose another goal. :rolleyes:

    3-0 defeat.

    Good shout on McCourt, but I would play sammy up front. Both are inconsistent players that don't work all that well in the SPL but for this game we need something different and if those two hit form then you never know. Time for a gamble IMO.

    I guarantee you'll end up even more raging if we play 2 up front. If we go over to Madrid and play 4-4-2 we'll get hammered.

    We have to play with 1 up front in this match. To do otherwise would be folly.

    2 up top does not mean we need to go 4-4-2....What is wrong with going 5-3-2 and forgetting about our wingers. All our best players at the moment are those in the middle of the park. Play to our strengths, we need our 3 solid centre midfielders and 2 strikers linking up to stand a chance.

    We do not play a holding game, let's go out and won this. Shake the group.
    Common, play our best and whatever , seen us going out trying to play defensive, let's score and let them try to score more.

    As much as I love that idea, and don't want to seem negative, we couldn't score at home...against Sion. I do think we should play this one more cautiously, and focus on more daring attacking formations at home.

    Would prob go with 4-5-1 and keep the players who started today but if broonie is fit then replace stokes and use broonie as a cam when needed.
