Champions League Celtic v Slovan Bratislava | Wed 18 Sept 8pm | TNT Sports 2

See the game they got beat 5-0 it was around the time of their CL qualifiers, they were rotating some of their team for that game.

I watched highlights of their game at the weekend there and thought they had a few dangerous looking players with a bit of pace. The boy who scored the two goals looked to have some quality Tigran Barseghyan, a left footed right winger who seemed to be decent at carrying the ball forward and had a good strike on him. Scored a good freekick and had one ruled out that was a decent hit too. Also fairly direct left footed right wingers are normally what cause Greg Taylor problems.

They did look pretty suspect defensively and didn’t handle a few situations well when wide players either got round the back of their defence at set pieces or wingers ran at them.

One thing that is for sure is we need to be clinical as it is the one criticism I have of us this season so far, we are missing far too many good chances. We want get that volume of chances in Europe.

 

It's trying to find the balance between Rangers pragmatic approach in Europe and actually playing decent football. Going toe to toe won't work against most teams in the CL but sitting back and soaking pressure doesn't work in the CL either as we seen with the Hun's the last time they were in the group stages.

 

Haven’t watched them but going by what Alex Barker said on 20MT they aren’t anything special and lack pace. Apparently their best player is a right back so hopefully he is right enough.

 

Team for me too... tough on Hatate but Engels, Calmac and Bernardo is a solid European midfield. Bernardo and Engels add strength and physicality needed for this level

 

That's my thinking as well, solidity and creativity but in a balanced amount. Love what Reo brings but he can be erratic at times.

 

Imagine if we pulled up with this.

Schmeichel
Johnstone
CCV
Starfelt
Tierney
O'Riley
Calmac
Engels
Jota
Maeda
Kyogo

What could have been. But ee are fantastic now as well but that line up could have been realistic imo

It's a dangerous game. We haven't earned the right to be arrogant.

I'll take any win.

 

Fully expect us to start the same team as last Saturday vs the diets.

 

I think this will be the team too. Solid as anything for the Champions League.

 

I'll take any win, I don't think we thump them but I I think we can too.

Really we should be winning it though. They aren't as good as teams we played last season and we have no injuries.

 

I would be in favor of starting Reo Paulo and Cal, as its a home tie

 

Engels is close but not yet quite done enough to start.
I'd guess Brendan goes with same XI as Rangers.

 

We have had some memorable victories in Europe against top class opposition such as Juveventus, Man City and Man Utd however we have also struggled against some of the so called European minnows too so I can't understand the confidence levels coming from a lot of our fans. Hopefully we put on one of those "special" European performances but any win will do for me to get us off to a good start. C'Mon the Hoops

 

See their manager is unwell and a chance he doesn't make the trip for the game. He is the dad of former hun player Vladimir Weiss (jnr) who's their captain also.

 

Weiss was a dour faced * when he played for them against us, revenge will be sweet.

 

Same team that started against hearts but Bernardo in for Engels

 

He's best pals with Sebo apparently

 

Me and my wee girl heading over for this one, are kids allowed in the brazen head? Turnstile only allows them in the wee room beside the smoking area
