    He'll play Ciftci I think. Just like he threw the other Dundee United boys in the deep end against Inter. He'll want Ciftci to get the first goal ASAP and I think this is a good game to do it.

    Don't think he'll play griffiths there dev.. Griffiths will either start up front or will be on the bench..

    But i do think he'll be on the bench, give Ciftci a chance to get off the mark.

    He kept moving him wide last year or starting him there, I think it's something he's got in his head. To make him a Commons with pace, I don't think it suits him.

    The couple of games he ended up behind the striker he looked very good though, not much different from having two up top due to his work rate. Johansen works his balls off there but he's not a natural in the box.

    It's only good if they take something from their games vs Rijeka. At the moment both clubs have contributed the same this season to the country coefficient.

    Should be a decent crowd at Parkhead to roar on the bhoys next week.

    Season books included for the game so should expect to see in excess of 40k.

    I ordered a ticket online for this game last week but it still hasn't arrived. Is it possible to go down to the celtic shop in belfast and have them print it out?

    Hopefully Griffiths to start up top. It is still a very important game. If we dont win by more than 2 goals, I feel we may be on a bit of a shaky peg going away from home. Let's just get this tie buried and go with the tried and tested team

    I'm one of those people.

    It's alright to not want a player or not think he's worthy of playing for us, but as soon as he signed he's a Celtic player and you want to see him play.

    Also you've got quite the cheek calling people "sevconians" with a name like that! :smiley-laughing002:

    Griffiths will be used as a sort of super sub role I think, depending how Ciftci gets on, could be the other way around. Griffiths definitely won't start on the wing.

    I hope he's not. Ronny kept trying him out there though.

    Aye you want to see him play but not ahead of a guy with 20 goals in half a season and with less than a week training with the team!

    As for the name dig, as i have said on here its a nickname my kids have for me and my gamertag on xbox!

    Must be murder being off school with nothing to do :50:

    The game's on the season ticket. I'd expect about 45,000 comfortably.

    We should absolutly pump them, what worries me are the 3th and 4th round and how well we are prepared for them.

    We will be another two weeks into training and have played half a dozen games by then so hopefully we will be in a lot better place than last year :50:
