[Official TC Thread] Astana v Celtic Tue 22nd Aug 4.30 - WE'RE IN THE CHAMPIONS LEAGUE!!!!!

They know they need 5 straight away but also must know that 1 goal for us and it's more of a dead rubber than before

 

yip, they need 5 to get it to extra time at least, score one early just to kill it stone dead, then enjoy ourselves.

Just want the tie out the way injury free then look forward to the draw.

 

Same mate. I've been thinking about what if the worst happens but then I just think that a 5-0 lead over most teams let alone this mob is hard to overturn

 

Can't wait for these Moomins to come out all guns blazing.

We're so gonna pick them off

 

This game will suit us down to the ground. We're so much more organised defensively these days and with so much to play for I really can't see us conceding let alone losing 5. Frustrate them further and hit them on the break.

0-1

 

I think they'll be playing for pride and will want to make the overall aggregate score a bit more respectful.

Doubt they'll throw the kitchen sink at us otherwise they could be looking at a 10+ overall aggregate! I'm going for a dull 0-0. My only concern, is knowing they're * already, I hope Astana remain professional and don't lose their cool and kick us off the pitch. They've got nothing to lose and will be frustrated - I'd be seriously considering resting Sinclair, LG, Brown and only bring them them on in an emergency (Like in the unlikely event we go 3-0 down).

I'll be happy to watch the game without biting my nails!

 

This game should be used to improve our away results in Europe and get us into a good habit of winning away ,aproach as though we need to win to go through.

 

No resting players in this one, strongest 11 out on the park !!

 

Has nobody posted a link to follow the plane yet?

Last year was nervy, it's been a long time since the final whistle brought such relief and joy all at once. The last time I felt like that was probably the Barca game.

Our last two play-off round results at this stage are 2-0 in Malmo and 2-0 in Ber Sheva. I don't really care if we lose than game, though obviously I'd like to get a result.

You'd imagine that, given we're so far ahead, our players won't be nervous out there. Last year we seemed like a bag of nerves in the first 20 minutes. And in Malmo the year before that, we were just awful.

 

Smash 'em in the *. 3:1 to the Bhoys.

 

What's the flight number? The one I've been given isn't working.
