    With tonight's result, we take a 2-1 victory to Finland.

    How do you expect us to fair in Helsinki? Will we qualify?

    Mon the Hoops! :celt_2:

    We'll do the same over there I reckon. 2-1 or 1-0 to us.

    I reckon we'll go 541 with Izzy and Matthews a bit forward to quickly counter attack and bomb up the wings.

    Probably Hooper up on his own with Sammy on the left wing, so we can switch to a 352 with Sammy and Hoops together if needs be.

    Taking away the extra man up front means we will have space for Kayal or Vic in midfield which will help us no end.

    I think it'll be 1-1 or 2-1 Celtic. If it's 0-0 up to the last 10 minutes then it'll be nerve racking. I reckon there's a high possibility it could go to ET as well.

    * I hope it's not this, I really do not want this 3 man backline. It's still in testing and we can be exploited big time if we use it.

    Forster
    Matthews Rogne Mulgrew Izzy
    Wanyama
    Kayal Ledley
    Forrest-------Sammy
    Hooper​

    That's what I want.

    I think we will play a more adventurous and attacking formation over there on the artificial pitch, if we do I see us running out 2-0 winners.

    Forster

    Matthews Rogne Mulgrew Izzyguire

    Brown Wanyama Kayal Samaras

    Hooper Stokes

    I think we'll win over there, 2-1 or 2-0.

    Tricky game but winnable. Think we will scrape it.

    You predicted a loss for this game too.

    I'm pretty sure i said 1-1 draw. Which we were lucky not to get with our atrocious finishing. To be fair i was really * with ajax at the time but even now after us dominating them for large parts i just don't see us winning away or even drawing. 3-0 wont reflect our performance but what i believe will happen is we lose and early goal, chase it, lose another in the process and then go all out....and lose another. I'm begging for us to get through but right now, i feel its impossible

    Helsinki 1-1 Celtic, with Mulgrew scoring a freekick in the 89th minute.

    I think you should put Live on Premier Sports in the thread title or something, just so that the 'Is this game on TV?' question doesn't get repeated over and over again.

    Are artificial pitches not a lot better these days? We did well on the one in Moscow a few years back.

    That's what I would play. Unfortunately, Brown will play instead of Rogne.

    I think it will be very close. If we play to our best we will go through, but usually we do not play anything close to our best away in Europe. I will go for a nervy 1 1.
