[Official TC Thread] Celtic v. FC Astana, 2nd Leg

With the crowd expected to be 50k+ I can see the club giving Premier or BT Sport the rights some time this week.

 

Premier Sports are getting the replay at 10PM Celtic Park time and that's for everyone else apart from Celtic TV outside the UK.

 

I'd give Forrest a chance to start on the left. Can cause some problems with his pace snd take pressure off Roberts on the opposite flank. Have McGregor behind Griffiths and if fit, throw Bitton in as well. Brown can hold the DM role with Bitton slightly ahead of him playing forward balls and being a big presence. Back 4 of Tierney-Toure-O'Connell-Lustig. At a packed Celtic Park, I think we will come out flying, but even more important in my opinion is to stay consistent the entire game. I've found that the last few years in Europe 45-80' is when we are most vulnerable to conceding, we don't have enough urgency. We did have it in the first leg and I credit that to Rodgers' tactics and his subsitutions. I think we can keep a clean sheet at home, and If we come out firing quickly, we have a great chance.

 

Thanks , as you said previously; streams it is.

 

No worries

 

Supposedly they've never won away from home in CL?

Granted they could go through on a draw better than 1-1, but hopefully we can keep a clean sheet and get a couple early goals.

 

That's *, missing it cos on holiday.

 

Seen it on Facebook there but I think it would be good if the stadium gave efe a a quick chant early on if hes playing.
Get his confidence up and show them dopes Saturday are a minority. Craig Gordon * up massively in the inter game but the crowd knew straight away how important it was it wasnt let get to him in such a big game , he ended up having a great second half , Wednesday should be no different for Efe if he does play.

 

HOPE YOUR RIGHT

 

Naw he is a * liability and the quicker he gets tae * the better, sick to * death with his * mistakes

 

They've won 2 away games from 12 in Europe overall.

Both wins were from Europa League qualifying in 2014-15 season.

Beating FC Pyunik 4-1 in Armenia and AIK 3-0 in Sweden.

 

Celtic in CL qualifying at Celtic Park:

23 games, 17 wins, 2 draws, 4 losses.

39 goals scored, 12 goals conceded. 14 clean sheets.

 

Put him into Forrest position, just a silly mistake from me :smiley-laughing002:

 

Will there be streams for the 10pm replay? I might avoid this and watch it then.

 

no but you will probably get highlights and stuff in this thread

 

That's a pity. Surely there'll be a stream of the Celtic TV coverage at 7.45, Paul?

 

aye if you have Celtic TV you can watch the replay.

 

There will be plenty of stuff posted up close to kick off or just refer to this

They always have Celtic TV streamed on that for live games

 

The club will be trying to shut streams down as fast as they go up as per.
