    I’d much rather have the 2nd leg at Parkhead.

    First leg at home, we need to come out first ten minutes * relentless, fast, lots of running, ball getting back in play instantly for shys and free kicks. On top of them, don’t let them settle, and ideally and early goal to rattle them.

    If we start careful possesion, pushing them back, methodically and too cautious to lose the ball which served us well sometimes last season in Europe, it suits them too much I think.

    We need what we done against Leipzig, hunt in packs, exhuasted them, made them chase our players and no room to breathe when they got it. Because we need 3/4 lead for me to not be nervy going over there.

    Think this will likely be the team.

    My only concern is converting the many chances we will create, there’s a heavy burden on the midfield just now to score.

    Would love Idah to bag a couple.

    This is celtic, in Europe. We dont do easy. Can see it being 1-0. However, fact they are worse than any of the teams we've faced in half a decade in the qualifiers I'm sure we should win by 6 clear goals over the two legs.

    Let's face it, anyone who comes in now won't play in either game of this tie. What we have now is what will, or will not get us into the CL league phase.

    We need to absolutely hammer them, don’t want to go over there with a 1 or 2 goal lead.

    Going into a £40m tie with a main striker who's scored less for us this season than a Falkirk defender.

    * maddness

    Would love to take 3+ goal lead over there, but we should actually be winning both legs. They looked very poor v Bratislava. Admittedly I onky seen the 2nd leg..

    But, as it us im sure we'll have a few nervy moments.

    At least Im no on holiday this time, can think of several occasions when my holiday has been ruined by CL Qualification failures.. :56:

    This makes or breaks the season. Failure and it turns absolutely toxic towards the board. Dont see us doing it over the 2 legs but think we might scrape a win at home. Board have shafted the manager and having all tickets at £39 general sale even for kids and concessions shows what * they really are!

    Keep seeing the word Toxic being used.

    Laughable man Celtic fans will still turn up and
    Support the team if we mental Davy is no happy and doesn’t go to the game his mate big mad
    Tam will take his place.

    Making the CL is a bonus, Europa league it is if we don’t qualify.

    no the end of the world ffs.

    Schmiechel

    Johnstone
    Carter Vickers
    Trusty
    Tierney

    Engels
    McGregor
    Hatate

    Nygren
    Maeda
    Forrest

    Would say that’s our strongest team right now. But Scales and Idah will start instead of Engels and Trusty I’d imagine.

    Not defending Idah by any means but that's a pretty foolish comment. We've played TWO league games.
