    Pitch looks a * shambles.

    Still, can't see anything other than a Celtic win. They are a very poor side and we should be giving them a going over.

    First goal will be all important, as usual.

    The astroturf thing should not be a problem, we have an 11-a-side astroturf park at Lennoxtown, so I'm 100% certain we will have been training on that all week before heading over there.

    As for the game I'm confident we will go through, think we will be a lot sharper this week.

    Hopefully the Aberdeen game has done the players some good.
    2-0 Celtic Hooper and Commons :celt_2:

    We need to keep it tight in the first 10-15 minutes. Too often in European games away from home, we have lost the game within the first 10 minutes. If we mange to come through that period with our lead intact, or even better improved, then I fancy us to win the tie.

    I'm the same, would never do that myself, was only kidding :50:
    Way I look at it is, if you're gaining something from our loss, then you're not 100% going for Celtic, and I wouldn't want that.

    Seconded.

    On the plus side however, no Majstorovic conceding a penalty and getting sent off within 2 mins.

    I'm saying a 2-0 win, Hooper with a goal in each half.

    I'm quite confident. As long nothing stupid happens within the first 5 minutes. For example a stupid red card and a penalty kick, but that should be fine because Majstorovic is away, just make sure K. Wilson doesnt play:50:

    AS long as wanyama gets to be in midfield and not cause a penalty/red card as a defender we will win :D

    Their pitch is artificial.

    If Kelvin Wilson starts I might cry. He won't though because Lennon isn't a moron. Rogne, Wanyama, Lustig and Mulgrew are all better options at CB.

    As are my wee sister, granny & 97 year old next door neighbour.

    Madge must be haunting Lenny's thoughts, so no Wilson for us...
