    It'll be interesting to see whether he rests players for the second leg or not. We seem to be improving with each fixture.

    Left out Lustig and Kayal, not because I don't like them, quite the opposite, I think they're vital to the home game against Maribor and don't want to risk them getting an injury which they are prone to. Maybe give them some minutes at the end.

    Don't want to make too many changes, keep mostly the same team and formation but give Pukki his chance.

    Don't think Biton and Mulgrew shoulf ever be partnered together in midfield. Too slow, too similar. Both need runners around them.

    I agree with what you're saying but I just feel that Kayal and Johansen might need the rest. If Johansen is the athlete I think he though I think he'll be fully recovered for this game so would maybe play him instead of Charlie, give the armband to Commons.

    He wasn't even supposed to be in the squad last weekend against Dundee Utd, I'm guessing it was to rest him, and I thought Ambrose had a decent game at right back. I would just keep Lustig fresh for Tuesday. That was why I dropped Stokes from my X1 also. Both would start next week against Maribor for me.

    I'd have Henderson or McGeouch in there ahead of one of them, they are just far too similar in the mobility ranks.

    Inverness away is probably been our toughest domestic game outside the Old Club in the last 10 year.

    Anyway id rest a few players, mainly Lustig, Izaguirre, Johansen and Berget(mostly Berget to give Griffiths a start, he needs a game and a goal).

    Inverness CT have made a good start to the season. This will be a tricky game as always.

    I agree with ILoveTheCeltic team.

    Hopefully Efe plays on Saturday and gets a thigh strain that puts him out for Tuesday. A lovely guy but sorry in this situation....

    Shadow team up there for me!

    Gordon

    Fisher Ambrose O'Connell Twardzik

    Biton

    Henderson Commons Griffiths

    Fridjonsson Pukki

    Bigger fish to fry next few days give boys who played last night weekend off no disrespect to inverness but CL is priority right now!

    No need to risk players in game that isnt going to define our season, appreciate the "keep going" attitude but forrest got injured in last minute need all hands on deck vs maribor they will be a dangerous team at CP!
