    I am with your there. I think a point tomorrow would be an excellent result and would happily take that.

    Just can’t get enough Depeche mode
    This will be as strong a defence and keeper combo as i can remember with Celtic in the champions league.

    Will be buzzing with a draw which I don’t think is impossible tbh.

    Very tough game tomorrow. We need 3 points minimum from the next two home games. A win tomorrow and we are in an unbelievable position to get a play-off given the fixtures we have remaining. I’m expecting the same starting lineup at Saturday.

    Cautiously optimistic for this tomorrow. Normally would say I'm confident but the Dortmund game has tempered it a bit. We're certainly good enough to win if we're at the top of our game. Fingers crossed.

    Midfield of Cal, Engels and Hatate is looking tasty as * the now. Engels box to box but helping Cal out as a priority, Hatate being smart positionally to get us up the park quick style. We get that balance right and we've every chance of getting the win.

    Schmeichel
    AJ
    CCV
    Trusty
    Valle
    Cal
    Engels
    Hatate
    Kühn
    Kyogo
    Maeda

    Literally zero concerns in any position, Valle I think is about to make a massive statement. Absolutely buzzing for it!

    Said earlier that a draw would be a decent result and bigged up how tough a game it would be. But then closer it gets I’ve genuinely got a special feeling about it. Can see it being a famous night. Really, really need to be switched on.

    And by the way, if we do win this, we’re in a ridiculously good position

    I'd happily take a draw from this. Taking anything from the pot 1 teams is a bonus, especially when I think 4 points from pot 2 is a good possibility.

    It’ll be the same 11 as the semi final I’m pretty sure

    Really looking forward to this tomorrow. Leipzig are a tough team who've been having a rotten time in the CL this season. We need to be at it fro the first minute to the last.

    C'mon Celtic!!!

    Would like to see us sneak a win, would take a draw. A bad loss I'd be unhappy with. I know they're a good team but we should be shipping multiple goals to no one.

    A win tomorrow would be our best result of the season bar none, even after Atalanta, and put us in an unbelievable position to progress.

    It's possible, because as we already shown in Atalanta, our defence with Kasper and Valle integrated, and now Trusty, is even stronger than last year.

    A draw would be a fantastic result and put us in a great position going into 3 winnable ties.

    As mentioned, they’re without three of their best players in Simons, Lukeba and Raum. The two we need to be worried about are Sesko and Openda, otherwise, they have good players but nobody who frightens me like Dortmund or Atalanta.

    I’d go with the same team who started in the SF. Have a feeling it’ll be a 2-2 draw.

    edit: didn’t know Schlager was out too, big loss for them

    We will get chances, need to be clinical and take them then put in a big shift in defence at the other side. Definitely doable imo

    This will be every bit as tough as the last one, they’re a very good side with some proper top players. Would take a draw just now but if we can somehow get a win we’d be in an unbelievable position.

    Watched the highlights of their game with Dortmund, caveat Dortmund are a lot better than us but the team they had out wasn’t as strong as the Dortmund we faced. No Adeyemi in particular. If Dortmund had the same shooting boots on as against us they would have taken 4 or 5 off Leipzig.

    Leipzig’s front two looked very dangerous, almost shoot on sight from anywhere and everywhere and off either foot. Also good movement and physicality. However, they looked very suspect defending crosses into their box, Dortmund got both goals from them and had 4 other good chances, almost always won first contact too. It’s not our big strength but we have scored a few from crosses this year and may suit Idah at some point in the game.

    I know Dortmund have serious pace up top but their defence did look to struggle with people running in behind them and our front 3 can all do that.

    Their forward line gives me the fear as they could have that type of night where they shoot from mad places but they fly in like Adeyemi did. I suspect we will need to be like we were against A. Madrid last year.
