[Matchday] Zenit v Celtic (18:00 GMT - 22/02/18) BT Sport

think well lose 2-1 or draw 1-1. If we concede early though can see use getting done on break and going out

 

I can confirm, Mancini is manager

 

Have a feeling there'll be loads of goals in this game, 3-2 zenit.

 

Judging by last weeks performance, I think a draw could be achievable, assuming that Dembele will act the lone striker role, I think its possible that we could get an away goal here

 

First 15/20 mins are crucial.

Don’t concede in the opening exchanges and our confidence will grow. We score once and I reckon the tie is over but there’s no need to go mad looking for it. Defend first and foremost and just be clinical when the chance(s) arrive.

Gonna be a nerve wracking 90 minutes.

 

I have a feeling we will score. The match is perfectly poised for us. They will need to attack and score, meaning they are bound to leave gaps in the defense and midfield for us to exploit. Last week they sat in a lot more than we had expected. Although some say this is their style, think the 2nd leg will be more open, so certainly think if we can score first, then that may be enough.

 

We're still in Glasgow according to our facebook page. Weird that we've not flown over to train in their stadium

 

Big tactical challenge for a BR are we good enough to sit deep, defend and counter? Or do we need to try and press them and put them under pressure.

Can't wait for this!

Don't worry about weather, it's +16 inside the stadium, outside -16

 

* that open the window its roasting in there

 

LOL

TBH it feels like -5 or -7, it's sunny and no wind at all.

 

Cracking stadium that, the difference is night and day compared to the old one.

 

How many we taking over, 2-300?

I think we should be starting Kouassi and pressing them high up again. They didn't like that..
Keeper is ropey and so is that back line which isn't particularly quick either..

Same team as first leg with Musonda, Rogic on at some point..

 

Cracking looking stadium!

Expect a tough match, even going in 1 up, it would be a huge scalp to better Zenit over 2 legs.

 

I thought it was a few more than that mate. Had 600 in my head but dunno where I got that from. Some of the Donnie boys have gone over and the guys I was stood next to on Saturday were going over as well. Fair play to them.

 

Must be more than that surely? Zenit had 650 over here did they not?

Visas are proving an issue for some though, right pain in the ar*e and expensive makes it unattractive to go to the game.

 

* baltic

 

All tickets are sold! See ya in our amazing city=)

 

600 would be an excellent turnout. Thought we possibly mightve taken more than 2/3 as it's knockout and been fixtured for a good while now..

Nah I'm sure the commentator mentioned 410 or something they brought official..

I'd be surprised if we've taken anything close to 600 to Russia before..
