    You've a cool head Danny and I admire the optimism. We are going to need that when it comes to it, hopefully we can make the most of our home advantage. Hopefully we play at a high tempo right from the beginning and look comfortable.

    I used to be a wreck watching Celtic, especially hun and European games, at times I would pause the live tv and walk away as I couldn't cope and have panic attacks, that is the fear of Celtic but I focus on the love of Celtic now, its all I can control really and it makes me much happier

    Win the ties we get £16.1m for CL league phase participation.
    Lose and we get £3.73m for EL league phase participation so that would be a loss of £12.37m

    More than even scoreline this game has got to be total domination and battering at their door the entire game. We need to come away from it with the confidence of knowing we're miles better than them and to go into the away game and do the same.

    Any type of slack, boring, performance would knock the stuffing out you and add pressure to the 2nd leg.

    Hopefully we come out of the blocks strongly and really get after them from the first whistle and set the tone for the night.

    I'd be happy with that, but we know it'll be Scales instead of Trusty Nygren in for Engles and Idah up front with Maeda out wide.

    After reading they've been building for 10yrs for this tie and we can't even get a RW in the door, I'm more nervous about this than I should be...

    We should have enough but we're going to need to be at our best and take our chances.

    Away leg will be hard but at least we go into that game with a solid defence, no makeshift CB like Bitton etc.. Schmeichel, CCV, AJ & KT should see us through there.

    I can actually see a 2 goal lead tonight and a nervy draw over there.

    I'm confident, but there's no argument against the fact that we're under prepared yet again.
