    Every single year we enter the CL I honestly think well go far or even win it. Maybe I'm deluded but I always strongly believe it. This year is the first year in a long time that I knew we'd be *. As for the OP, can we beat inter. No chance! Not this team! NL team yea but not this Ronnie's team.

    At the home game :56:




    At away games I wouldn't expect us to beat the Craggy Island 5a-side over 75s priests team

    naw, I made it up we have been spanking Scottish * all season and are running away with it. Inter are soiling themselves thinking about taking on the SPL champions. Just look at the panic buys they have made just for this match. They know a top league when they see one.

    Can add three players not registered in group stages I think, Guidetti and two others. Think you can only add one player who's featured in the CL. My understanding of article anyways! :50:

    No, the team isn't ready. We were on the right track when we went on a very good run of games but it looks like complacency set in.

    Rather than build on our wins by continuing the hard work and then gradually increase a more expansive game, we regressed to the point we are at now.

    It's been a step back but it will take some more grind to become efficient at winning again.

    Until that happens the players will be required to be disciplined and rigid. As we seen the other night against a very poor Kilmarnock where we dominated in their final third, we had some very good individual movement and periods of swift passing but we lack cutting play with risky passing in to spaces. Scepovic on the line numerous times ready to be released but the easy pass was taken. Simply because we need results first and foremost.

    Wins breeds confidence and with confidence the players feel more relaxed to express themselves and attempt riskier attacks rather than stop, turn and pass to Brown.

    I dare say we could get lucky if Inter have off nights, anything can happen. If your wondering if we can win off our own individuality, our own good play, then no. We're no way ready.

    What can we then take from the Inter game? Experience against a high calibre player and coach. I'd rather we tested ourselves having built on our good run and looked decisive. Development so far is slow.

    Players may learn under Deila against Inter but the sad thing, and I would rather be positive, is we are likely to lose some of these players that we've tried to grow under Deila. May that be this window or next. Players can raise their game in hope to look an attractive option to a team that can pay more money but currently, we're not a very good 'team'.

    I think this group, with some other inclusions, can be.

    If we were playing Inter now i'd be pretty confident, but by February they should have their * together and with either Podolski/Shaqiri playing and possibly a few other new players, Mancini will make them solid to start with and will play defensively at Parkhead. Though by February we should be firing on all cylinders and barring no injuries we can take them, 1-0 at home then 1-1 away :50:

    Cause just now they are in a * state, if we were playing just now in a full house at Paradise I'd be confident of a good result.

    Just seen Malpensa is trending on twitter and though *, thought it was some accident with a plane as thats where we're flying to/from for Milan but its because allsorts of Inter fans turned up to see Shaqiri arriving :56: * acting like theyve signed Messi. Always thought Shaqiri carried too much weight to cut it at Bayern, looks like a wee bodybuilder rather than footballer.

    He's a decent player, but far too greedy.

    Not been that impressed by him anytime I've seen him. I'd be a lot more fearful of Podolski.

    I hope we can. What a result it would be do knock these out. As we all know, we need to put in a shift and win at Parkhead then shut up shop in Milan.

    Is it possible? Yes. Is it likely? Hmm.
