Qarabag v Celtic- Wednesday 5th August, K.O 17.30, live on BT Sports

job done well done Bhoys

 

could change but at the mo Saltzburg and Steaua going out

 

Good defensive display, one great save from Craig Gordon; not too many opportunities at the other end, but we did what needed to be done.

 

I'm hoping for either Atsana or Skenderbeu

 

Just finished watching a recording, absolute relief to get that over with, great job from the bhoys. Defence was excellent, biton was immense. Shouldve won it in the end.

 

Entire defence were superb, apart from the odd switch off from Boyata. Where has that Izzy been the last few months? He was rarely far forward but so many great timed tackles. Buzzing for the next tie now.

Love watching Bitton play. He's a European class footballer.

 

I want mould because they lost and their managers suit has long arms

 

I wasn't looking forward to this game. Good team at keeping the ball & defending but once they get in the final third they were not existent

Got to say, i was expecting Deila to go all out for the away goal & * the tie up but top notch to how we played for the 0-0

 

Izzy was fantastic defensively tonight! Great to see. Bitton was great as well, really calmed things down and controlled from the centre. Van Dijk was also terrific - if he goes I have no idea how we'll replace him, Mulgrew partnering Boyata would be my choice if it comes to that. Onwards!

 

That's Basel out of our road 84.875 co so far they are top seeds

 

Aye, we probably should of done more in attack as they did look vulnerable at times.
BUT we got the result needed, Gordon pulled off a cracking save and we gave a performance deserved of a 0-0 qualifying result.

Job Done.

 

Oh and he Forrest of a couple of years ago would have buried that chance - just needs his confidence back

 

Im still * off he didn't hit that at goal but aye he's obviously lacking that bit of confidence to have a go.
But promising that he got in that space in the first place when we lacked that penetration beforehand.

 

I was thinking the exact same thing. Happy with the way that went considering how nervous I was coming up to this one.

 

Never seen any of the game cause of work, how did we play? Is it worrying that we are goal shy up front going into this play off game? Or where we unlucky with chances?

 

* me...seeds dropping like flies saltzburg, steaua and now possibly plzen.

 

Pitch was shocking and neither team created much in the way of chances. Johansen and Forrest missed two big chances late on and that was it. Nobody missed a sitter per se.

 

Really came into it last 15-20 and should've scored a couple near the end with Johanson and forrest.

Really need to shape up though. Next round probably will be more difficult.

Realy thought Izzy and bitton were class tonight. Good to see izzy getting into sliding tackles and putting in a great shift

 

Nice one will try and watch highlights of the game when I get home

 

One of their players hit a peach from 22 yards or so and Gordon pulled out a top class save. That's all they really threatened with.
