    I really hope Ajax's attack has an off night because the defence is a major issue.
    I'm as excited as any European night but I'm not confident at all.

    Stokes hasn't played, will be unfit and not sharp, already know he can be lazy out on the left wing and isn't a winger at all. Would be a big risk to start him.

    If he's even 75% match fit Id start him over GMS. Gary doesn't deserve another start.. He's been shocking for weeks. I actually can't remember q single good performance from him this season, but I might be wrong.

    We know he is capable though, might take the big occasion for to find his form. I want Janko to start on the wing anyway tonight, him and Forrest either side gives us plenty pace to break on along with Griffiths.

    Gonna stick a wee 2 1 victory for the hoops on tonight as people have said when we are written off we usually pull it out the bag we need the defence and the midfield to operate to the standard we know they can however i would drop boyatta my back 4 tonight would be janko lustig jozo izzy brown and bitton must control the game tonight

    There's very little chance he would start Stokes, but if he does make an appearance, even off the bench,, surely to * he wouldn't be lazy following such a spell out of the team?!

    I expect hunger and desire right through the team tonight! Pretty much the opposite of Malmo please.

    I really hope Simonovic starts.

    I feel a lot better about the game now than i did last week.The fact that a team near the bottom of the Dutch league could take a 2 goal first half lead against them at the weekend tells me they are as vulnerable as any other team.

    Granted, they pulled back to a draw, but still.....

    I'm taking Bitton first to score (25/1) and Celtic to win 2-1.

    'mon the HOOPS!!

    Time to turn it around. A draw would be a good result. Not just because of where we currently are at, but because an away point against the team we're likely fighting for second spot with will go a long way to helping us achieve qualification to the Last 32.

    Tbf I don't really give a * about the result, I just want to see a respectable performance put in and not the gutless showings that have been offered to us recently.

    And not losing games through our own sheer inept ability at defending etc

    That's pretty much my feeling too, towards the away ties anyway.

    Echo that statement. Just give us something to be proud of, roll the sleeves up and get stuck in.

    We're wearing that ugly black and yellow kit, why the * can't we just wear the hoops if the kits don't clash?.

    They rested quite a few players for that game right enough. It's more their form in Europe, Rapid beat them 3-2 in Amsterdam.

    Really? Why would they rest players in a league game for an early season EL game with Feyenoord and PSV snapping at their heels in the league?

    Two things I want from tonight are:

    1) Do not concede from a set piece
    2) 100% commitment from every player on the pitch, and spirit similar to what we showed against Inter and in the first half of the home tie against Malmo.

    Bitton is due a good performance in a big game as well.
