    This game is similar to the Elfsborg game a couple of years ago. The only difference is that they looked even worse at Parkhead but they had the same game plan and when they came out to attack at home it was nervy as *. That's why I'm so nervous about this one. I do feel though that under Ronny at this level of football we're better equipped to playing away than we were under Lennon so I'm still pretty positive we can get the result.

    BBC can * off......ronny has already said we play on worse in scotland in the winter.

    Im more worried about the heat and our defending than the pitch.

    Worried about this but..........trying to put a bit of perspective to the situation we were very poor at home against this mob. Our 4 forward going players, GMS, Armstrong, Johansen and Ciftici never kicked their * the whole night and were way off the mark indeed. Our passing was 2nd rate and our first touch was non-existent at times however it is early season we have had another competitive game since the 1st leg so we should be more match sharp and assuming/hoping that at least some of the afore mentioned players turn up tonight we should be ok but I think we will need to score at least one goal.

    28 degrees when there's no sun out isn't that hot. 28 degrees with the sun belting down on your back feels far warmer. We should be ok.

    The heat, regardless of whether or the sun is out, will dehydrate the players far more quickly than a lower temperature. Trying to play to the level of intensity required for professional football when you're dehydrating constantly is * hard work, especially if you're body hasn't had long to acclimatise to working in that heat.

    You think?

    I think we're confident in our ability and fancy an away goal to end the tie.

    Don't know about that mate. You can certainly feel the heat when playing indoor football despite there not being any sunshine.

    Hopefully we'll be a bit more match fit than them, noticed we've played a few more games than them this season, any slight advantage could be huge

    Nervous as fk about the match later. The temp out there is 34 degrees at the min, which doesn't help as they'll be better suited to the humidity. Our away record in Europe is patchy at best and the pitch is Sunday league standard. Makes this game a real banana skin.

    Prediction: a score draw (1-1, 2-2) with big Cifcti to get off the mark with his first goal.
    Keep the Faith!!

    Don't get me wrong, it'll be tough. But 28 degrees in the sun is much warmer than 28 degrees at night.
