    If anyone thinks that staring Ralston is a good option we're in trouble

    We’re criminally short of options tho, KT and possibly Lustig could come in to the back three tho..

    I actually think Ralston would make a better R/CB than a RB..in the long run..

    That is most likely. But we have that punchers chance. ( Second time I quote a Rocky movie in this thread) ;)

    No offence, but Celtic is not a world class team or anything. If weightclasses represent level I would put you in cruiserweight. ;)

    Nah, seriously. Celtic is a very good team. The only advantage Rosenborg should have is match fitness. From what I have heard Celtic is inn good form already, but we will see. To be in the middle of the season is good for Rosenborg.

    Does anyone know if we'd be drawn home or away first in the next round should we proceed given we are seeded? Or is it purely down to the draw?

    We should be good enough to beat rosenburg but Rodgers still hasnt done anything to sort out our weakest area in the team, central defence. Im at a loss to understand how Rodgers doesnt seem to acknowledge we need to sign quality central defenders. Very frustrating considering we look strong in midfield and attack but without doubt we will be exposed in Europe due to poor defending.

    But aye it’s not ideal that he’s a viable option..

    This is the quickest and up to speed I've seen a Celtic side during pre season and many year's..

    Our defence has some missing so being direct, long and set pieces is your best option..

    Relying on us not being match sharp was a factor last year first leg. Won't have any impact on us this year in my opinion..

    AIK scoring a late goal to beat Shamrock Rovers, Rosenborg a late penalty to beat Valur and Copenhagen scoring a late penalty to beat KuPS - quite big Scandanavian teams struggling. Good sign or us.

    Rosenborg manager has packed it in apparently, or been sacked. Either way, he's gone.

    In all seriousness we heard the same from Helsingborg, Elfsborg, Malmo and yourselves last year.

    Being in the middle of the season won't determine this. We've been down this road too many times now.

    Not to mention the fact we are the fittest I've ever seen us at this stage.

    i recognise that avatar from last summer!! Rosenborg might not have been the best draw for us but i can bet you us and probably Ludogrets were the absolute worst you could have got!!:50:


    ps-welcome back by way!!
