[Official TC Thread] Celtic F.C v Paris Saint-Germain; Tuesday 12 Sept, 7.45pm. BT Sport 3

Brendan is * at it if he puts Ralston at RB.
Tierney was brilliant when he came in against fenerbahce in kinda similar circumstances but this is a completely different animal altogether

 

Gordon in goals.

My defense would be, Forrest at RB. Lustig CB Simunovic CB Tierney CB LB Mcgreagor!


Ncham and Brown

Roberts Griffiths and Sinclair

look at them, there like film stars! Aye, but can they PLAY?

lets play them, the Glasgow Celtic way.

 

Fair enough mate. Money's just destroying football.

 

To be fair I'd hate it if Celtic became what PSG have so I can sympathize with their traditional fans to an extent. They've had the soul sucked out of their club by money.

 

You're not alone. Though I'm incredibly optimistic when It comes to the CL.

 

If Ralston does start then i think we either need to play 3 centre mids or else start Forrest ahead of Roberts on the right of a 4231.

Or

​

No way Brendan will start Ralston with Roberts infront of him without an extra body in midfield, would be Suicide.

 

No chance

 

Gamboa will start

 

​

Of all the options Gamboa is the least likely. Not played for Celtic this year and whilst has flashes going forward isnt solid when asked to defend.

Getting more convinced Ralston will play and good luck to him. It will be an experience whatever happens.

Paddy and Rogic on from the bench to make an impact.
3-2 to the hoops; Sinclair,Griff, Ralston last minute winner.

 

Ralston came on into a make shift defence without a natural centre half, in a game where our most experienced players went missing for large parts of the game and struggling with the pressure of their attacks. I'd say he handled it well considered that was the biggest test of career so far.
Rodgers sees him everyday in training, if he believes he's the better option to Gamboa then I trust him.

 

Anybody know if there's any Celtic friendly pubs about Aberdeen?

Just about to head up for the rest of the week and don't want to miss it.

Agree with the previous comments, no way will Brendan play Roberts in front of Ralston. It would be Forrest for his tracking back.

I wouldn't be surprised at all though if he starts edouard...... I still cant believe we never got a centre back. I know rodgers doesn't like buying for the sake of it, but in this case it was absolutely the right thing to do.

 

Not sure a out Ralston, different level for his experience. A call would be to drop Armstrong to RB, he has played there before and Rogic into the middle

 

I don't like this whole they are too young thing. It's new. A modern football thing and especially a backward thinking Scottish football thing.

For me if you are good enough you are old enough. Dropping armstrong back to RB when we have see very little of him there? I don't even see an argument as to why that's better than having an actual right back who thinks as a right back there regardless of experience.

This is all a mute point anyway. If we take a doing in this game (which is likely) it will be down to psg just going over the top of anyone and the fact the manager couldn't make a decision on a centre back.

 

Cant wait till tonight- going to be a slow auld day at work
