Dinamo Zagreb v Celtic 6pm KO(Thursday 11th December- BT Sports 1)

Dinamo Zagreb had a really big result yesterday against Rijeka (2nd in league), winning 3-0 at home.

They're now 4 points clear with 1 game in hand.

It's probably also worth mentioning that Angelo Henriquez (on loan from Manchester United) is absolutely ripping it up now after a slow start, 16 games 15 goals.

 

Any of Ángelo Henríquez, Duje Čop or El Arbi Hillel Soudani will give us bother.

Reckon it'll be a draw, can't really see us winning.

 

Same team as the weekend with Griffiths in for Guidetti for me.

Not my team but i reckon that is the team he will play

 

Despite already being guaranteed 2nd place, I actually think this is an important game for us. Need to get a bit of momentum going into the last 32, it won't be good going into that on the back of one draw and 2 defeats in our previous 3 EL games. Also the more co-efficiant points we get the better. Then there's also that away game hoodoo. An away victory would instil a lot of believe into the squad!
So a strong line up for me.

Gordon

Matthews Ambrose VVD Izzy

Brown Bitton

Forrest Johansen Wakaso

Scep or Griffiths

Subs: Zaluska, Fisher, Mugrew, Tonev, Commons, Scep/Griffiths, Stokes.

The dreamer in me says 2-1 Hoops, but the realist says a 1-1 draw at best.

 

Play the reserves

 

Presume the point he was making was that not 1 of our 6 group stage games will be broadcast to the scottish public. It's disgusting imo.

One of the very few highlights of poorer kids weeks could be watching their team in Europe. Was for me during the Seville run. £15 a month for a tv channel is a luxury a * of a lot of Celtic fans can't afford. Made worse by english sides being shown on channel 5/itv4 all the * time.

Not sure how it works so maybe this is misplaced but a big * YOU to bbc scotland and stv.

Anyway, agreed with others that the co-efficient points are too valuable to rest up altogether. Same as the weekend but Scep for John, Griffiths for Forrest.

 

Wise up and play Commons and Griffiths ya daft Norwegian sausage

 

Why?

 

I think this game is hugely important. We've shown we can play slick football against Partick Thistle and Motherwell, now it's time to bring that to Europe and pick up 2 very valuable co-efficient points.

Gordon
Matthews Virgil Mulgrew Izaguirre
Brown Bitton
Forrest Johansen Stokes
Scepovic​

Fully expect Ambrose to start over Mulgrew at the back though.

 

Zulaska

Fisher O'Connell Mulgrew Izzy

Kayal Henderson

McGregor Berget Boerrigter

Scepovic​

 

Found it funny you still had Izzy in there, we really need to buy a back up LB

 

Aye, Mulgrew's the only other one who can fill in there

 

3-1 griff hatrick.

 

I'd rather waters :bbpd:

 

Don't expect a lot of changes to be made for this.

 

3-1

 

I wouldn't mind if went for paul Dixon just as back up to izzy.
