    I'd never shift Tierney. That's ruin that side of attack. I'd sooner put bitton back in the CB and have Tierney where he is best.

    I think there's definite comparisons to be drawn with Ajer last year and Hendry this, both green as *.

    I'd have no concerns about Ajer going into this tie, Hendry on the other hand is 1 disaster away from his confidence being shat on.

    The difference is, Ajer was 19 and playing in a semi unfamiliar position he was getting used too. Hendry is playing in his natural position and is 23..

    It's alarming when you look at it like that..

    Ajer is a couple of levels above him already with 3 year's on Hendry..

    Not ideal but not the worst either, stronger than what we had against them at home last season if it comes to it. Would rather have Lustig and Boyata back though even without training, they were only playing 3 weeks ago so can't have lost to much fitness, last season we rushed back a half fit Sviatchenko who was well off the pace at the time Lustig and Boyata will be far better.

    I wouldn't be worried about Hendry being 23. Seems like a late bloomer who'll only come into his own at 25 or so. Players peak at different ages - he has very little mileage behind him.

    If we have no Boyata I'd go

    Forrest Hendry Ajer Tierney

    Really hope we can recall Boyata for it though. Hendry Boyata Ajer Tierney would make me a lot more confident.

    Are Rosenborg good in the air? seems like Celtic will be without Boyata and Dembele who are our two best players at heading from set pieces in both boxes. After them we don't really have anyone decent in the air either our 3rd best is probably Bitton who is injured as well.

    Don't like going into these games with weakened ability in the air. We seen at the recent World Cup loads of teams were bailed out by scoring from a set piece - with them two out we will have a higher chance of conceding from one and pretty much no chance of scoring from one.

    *! does it look like dembele will miss the first leg? I thought it was just a slight knock and he’d be fit. Totally changes the game is he’s not fit.

    Why's it always us who end up playing a team in Europe who've just sacked their manager?

    Hopefully this ends up more like Anderlecht than Bayern Munich.

    No * knows. Rodgers seemed fairly optimistic so i don't know why everyone is acting like he's likely to be out.

    Disagree with this,great news for us.

    Just remember last seasonAnderlecht sacked there manager just before we played them away from home and we pumped them 0-3.

    Anderlecht and Bayern both appointed new managers last season and beat us.

    Aye KT is a shout to play in a 3.. but see no reason to leave out Dembele, if fit he plays with Edouard..

    Recall Boyata, use him and Jozo (except next week obviously) to get us qualified.

    Wait for a couple of decent offers and punt!! :58:
