    If Astana score then they score. What I do think is that we will score regardless. Would be nice to go the whole qualifiers without conceding a goal but the main objective was always to qualify which is 99.9% achieved

    We all saw how they opened up when they pushed forward. It was like playing a league game and they will now have to completely commit to an attacking style at home to even have the slightest chance of pegging us back.

    As stupid as it sounds they may not even bother attacking to spare embarrassment.

    Another bonus is that it'll be 16:30 over here when we kick off. And with BR saying we are going to stay on UK time we should be raring to go.

    I'm that confident in the team now I almost expect us to win without conceding

    McGregor for Rogic to start, think they'll come out all guns blazing so better with another high energy player in beside Brown & Ntcham. Bring Rogic & Armstrong on after an hour when players start to tire. Other than that, unchanged.

    Don't think big Jozo will play. Ajer might get the nod or Lustig in a back 3 of Lustig, Bitton and Tierney.

    Think we will at least draw.

    Can we not just send the huns?


    Genuinely resigned to being 3 down after 20 minutes or down to 8 men we won't do it the easy way

    I'm very interested to see both our approach and the team he puts out.

    Difficult to judge both.

    If everyone comes out of the Killie game ok then I would go with that. Some people suggesting to play a weakened side but the match is of far too much importance !! I went with McGregor instead of Rogic just because of the head knock he took in midweek.

    1-2 Celtic

    What do you do if you are BR?

    Do you take a gamble and start Jozo! What if the pitch flares his knee up? But what if say bitton and Ajer have you 2-0 down at half time? Do you thing bring Jozo on? It's a conundrum I am sure Brendan will speak to medical team and suss out what's best for Jozo, personally I expect him to play against Astana, he won't play today against Killie! After Tuesday thought give him time off until September when he plays for Bosnia by time Intl break is finished we should have boyata, sviatchencko, Dembele all back fit!

    Does anybody think Astana are going to come out all guns blazing? I actually don't think they will. They already need to score 6 to win the game and if they press forward they will be exposed and with our pace they will pay. What I think they will do is kick lumps out of our players. Shitov will probably be sent off.
