    Hopefully Paddy is here in time to play in this game. Rogic also has to start for me. He's our most creative player and needs to play every home game in Europe.

    If we turn up I hope we can get the job done in the first leg.

    3-0 Celtic.

    I wouldn't play Ntcham. He's still settling into the side.

    Gordon
    Lustig Bitton Simunovic Tierney
    Brown Armstrong
    Forrest Rogic Sinclair
    Griffiths
    ​
    Wouldn't mind even 3-6-1 with Bitton left out and McGregor playing.

    Spot on, but tempted to play hayes on his preferred left, and drop Sinclair for a game.

    Eh? No. Sinclair, is our first choice winger. If you're looking for someone to score or create, he's one of the first names you'd say in our squad.

    Off the boil a little lately. Think hayes and forrest (would love it to be Roberts) have it in them to take care of Astana

    He has been off the boil but he's still creating, which says a lot. He's gonna hit form sooner or later.

    Think Hayes still has it all to prove and I think the general concensus is that he isn't part of our strongest XI. He may prove me wrong in that but it's too early to tell and I'd rather go with the 'safer' hands.

    If Roberts is in the squad he'll either start in front of Forrest or replace him at some point in the match.

    We want to score as many as possible against Astana. I have more faith achieving that with a team with Sinclair in it than without.

    Were Roberts to sign there is no way Brendan would start him ahead of Forrest.

    If Roberts is to sign and starts against Astana, it's more likely he'll take Forrest's place than Sinclair's imo.

    I don't think he'll start either way. If he's in the squad, it's more likely he'll come off the bench at some point in the match to replace Forrest.

    This is all assuming that Griffiths is fine to start up top.

    It would be the nicest problem to have ever. Even nicer than that luxury we get once in a while of choosing between dembele and griff

    Hope we bag an early goal and their arses collapse,if that happens we could go on to win by 3 or 4

    If Roberts signs he absolutely should start ahead of Forrest.

    He's a far better player.

    If Bitton starts we could be in serious trouble. The big Congolese lad up front for them isn't the greatest striker about but he's very direct, physical, and very awkward.
