    What'll it be lads?

    Edit* Title was misleading, but question should've read who you would start, rather than who you think will start.

    I'd play Ajer but Brendan will play Bitton.

    I want Ajer to start but Bitton is starting 100%.

    If Ajer was starting he would have played last night

    Ajer for me. Bitton is a heartless *. Last thing we need in a European qualifier is a heartless centre half

    I went with Bitton.

    I think he's shown class in our bigger games the last year and a bit. His quality with passing and on the ball will pay off in a European game like Wednesday, much like it did against Rosenborg.

    Just don't fully trust Ajer quite yet, and I don't know if going with Ralston is the best choice should Lustig move into the middle.

    Ajer, any day of the week. Rodgers will go with Bitton though.

    Chose Ajer. He's been brilliant since coming into the team and think he deserves his chance Wednesday

    Ajer. Hoping one of the few positives to come from last night was Bitton confirming he shouldn't be trusted at CB on Wed.

    honestly thought bitton was solid enough and came out with the ball well from defence since he has been in there but that tackle shows how slow his reactions can be , i would start ajer

    I went with Ajer. Bitton is an accident waiting to happen- BR I think will go with him, he seems to like him at CB.

    That would be a good team but I would have McGregor in for Armstrong.

    Aye I'm no adverse to that.. my thinking was that McGregor could make a real impact from the bench..

    I think that team would give us width and Broonie could step back when need be and make it a back four.

    Both Forrest and Sinclair would need to put in a shift tho, providing width and defensive cover.

    I hope and have a feeling ajer might actually get the starting spot. Brendan would have seen how close Bitton nearly cost us Friday night. That'll be in his head before selection.

    Hopefully it's enough to give ajer the chance.
