    Past results mean jack here ,most of the time we used 3 cbs was in freindlies and it didnt go well ,but the only reason it should fail is if the players dont do wots asked , or the rest of the team shape is wrong , 3 at the back is the system to use attacking fullbacks, and it should give a much more fluent middle to front.

    We also played 3-5-2 against Ajax. Apart from that game against a dying huns team I can't remember a single game that formation worked well for us in... with the current crop of players before some smart * goes mentioning the road to Seville :56:

    For everyone going to the game, it's been four long years since we've been battling it out with the big boys in Europe. Many people in the UK and Ireland have Celtic down as a mediocre club with mediocre fans (I know, right?) and mediocre players. When you fill that priceless seat in Parkhead, sing your heart out and for the love of divine sufferin jaysus don't leave early! You're representing us, everyone on here. Everyone who wears and ever has worn the hoops with pride. Celtic. :50:

    Any more injury news? Would be great to have Kayal and Ledley back, and didn't Brown get a wee injury at the weekend? Hopefully he was subbed as a precaution.

    Benfica have gotten off to their league championship far better than we have (they're sitting top), but just like us, they failed to win their last game. And we have home support. So, I'm going to predict a draw.

    After the dismal display at the weekend I think the players will be really fired up for this, I'll go for a 1-0 to us :ynwacelti

    You'll love it next to their fans. I did against Copenhagen anyway and they were so loud. Great atmosphere.

    I am a bit nervous to be honest.My heart says 2-0.......but my head says 1-2.

    I really would take a draw right now, as i think even a point wouldnt a bad result against such a team.
