    If Stokes gets dropped again, I will lose a lot of respect for Lennon. It would be utter stupidity to drop him - his confidence will go to * again. What other options has he got? Pukki has only joined and if hasn`t realised yet that Samaras is * hopeless up top, then he needs serious help

    Yeah, especially with the injuries of Abate and De Sciglio.

    Abate, De Sciglio, Kaka, Montolivo are the main ones.

    Who do PSV have middle to front that's better than what Celtic have? PSV are poor just now as are a number of other big Dutch clubs like Feyenoord, the standard of the league has dropped overall as well.

    Celtic are a far more dangerous proposition for Milan.

    Wijnaldum, Depay & Narsingh are very good young forwards.

    Willems (left-back) is another star player. They're all really young though. We won't be nearly as naïve, I'd hope. We have great experience for a young side & I think we're probably better overall than PSV.

    You'd expect Milan to have a lot more of the ball than us but I just hope we dont set up to sit back defensively and it all goes to * due to Milan setting up to do the same.. Kind of like what happened away to Karagandy, I dont think Lennon thought we'd have as much of the ball as we did.

    This will be a real test for Lennon as a manager.

    I'm expecting a similar type of game to Juventus at Celtic Park. I don't think Milan will be as clinical & I think we'll have more of the ball and be more of an attacking threat than against Juve due to Milan's injuries but Balotelli's still a worry. I'm not sure how Ambrose will cope with his physicality. Maybe Van Dijk will be more of a match.

    Boerrigter, Commons and Samaras will provide a far bigger threat to Milan than those 3 who you rightly say are kids.

    Samaras in particular has the pedigree, the experience and the tools to do the damage at every level and has proven so over a number of years now.

    Had a dream we won 2-0 with Sammy scoring both, last time I had a dream about football was that we beat Barca 2-1 and Wanyama scored first, bookies the morra then

    Teams playing well just now, but thats Scots opposition but...

    Milan, i reckon this could be the best time to play them still think we'll get beat, but a draw would be excellent in Milan.

    I hate when people say that... Aye ok you have a point but these players have all proven themselfs in European football accept stokes in a way last year and the year before was progress....

    Listen we all know out game gets raised that little bit higher in these games there's no dought we can cope but in my opinion it depends on how ac play his game!

    I hope we don't go a goal down early on I hope not at all! I still feel weird about this one I don't think we have a problem going forward its our stance in the middle of the field with losing wanyama and our back 4!

    Even with "Scottish" opposition as you sayd we look slack in midfield no real strong core very open! I hope this is where broony screws the head and plays the way he did v shaktar closing down using his energy and not going on runs let ledley do all of that

    If Anderlecht and Zenit can get a result over in the San Siro against a full strength Milan side, we can. We just need to stay focused; no silly mistakes.
