    any positive result would be beyond brilliant, but you can't rule out another pumping, but being at Celtic Park on a Champions league night, you can't rule out a win for us either. Anything could happen and it's just fun to be in the competition in the first place. Just do us proud Celtic, win loose or draw.

    Got a feeling Bitton will start in place of Rogic. Jozo for Toure as well, only because I'm not sure on Kolo's fitness.

    I'm nervous, just as I was in 2012, 2013. If it wasn't for Broony letting that little * wind him up we could have got a result in 13. So even though it always looks like they're going to hammer us there is plenty of evidence that we can cause big upsets at home.

    I don't think we can play as defensively as back then so the only advantage is we could cause problems for them going forward. They don't like it when teams have a go at them as their midfield isn't the strongest right now and if we can get past that then our strikers are more than capable of scoring. Basically the less their strikers have the ball the better our chances are of getting forward.

    That is dreamland for me just now though, that * front three they have is a force of nature.

    I wish I was going to it though because the atmosphere will be incredible. It can freak teams out and give us a lift. Really looking forward to it even though I'm nervous. If we score the first goal it would be something special. All it takes is a corner and big Erik to place one in the top corner.

    Be interesting to hear if a big display is planned like the last 2 times we played them, haven't heard anything as yet and these things take a * of a lot of time, effort and money, if memory serves me right the last one was arranged by the club

    Pack central midfield with players that can retain the ball. I.e. not Armstrong.

    Surrender possession out wide and let them put crosses in which we should be able to deal with.

    Cannot afford to play 3 at the back, problem in Spain was was had no-outball so we got pinned in essentially. Need that extra man in midfield to try to disrupt their passing. Either 4-3-3 Gordon, Lustig, Sviatchenko, Toure, Izzy, Brown, Bitton, Armstrong, Sinclair, Dembele, forrest or 4-2-3-1 with Rogic in for Bitton

    * won't know what'* them. They'll be taking shots this time wondering why our old man keeper wasnt there to roll out the carpet and let them in.

    3-1 celtic.

    I wonder could sviatchenko shift up to the CDM role. I'd also like to see Charlie Mulgrew come on at some point, in order to shore up the defense.
