    I agree, but I think this will be the line-up unfortunately.

    I highly doubt there will be 2 strikers in any European game this season, to start with anyway.

    If Miku starts he'll either be asked to play on the left or in behind Hooper imo.

    Fair enough.

    I'm sure we can agree on the fact that a victory would be sensational!

    Assuming Kayal is out:

    --------------Forster--------------
    Matthews--Rogne--Mulgrew----Izzy
    -------------Wanyama------------
    ---------Broony-----Ledley--------
    -------------Commons-------------
    --------------Hooper--------------
    ---------------Miku---------------

    2-1 for the bhoys

    Your joking right? Wednesday can't come soon enough for me, can't wait to hear the CL theme tune and soak in the atmosphere from my row Z seat.

    Your right though vast improvement is needed, a few key players need to pull their fingers out and get back on form pronto.

    I just received an email saying there are some tickets available still. I don't think there will be any left tomorrow.

    That's how I'm feeling right now. Hope we do, it's just a really hard ask.

    Lenny says Broony's picked up a hamstring problem. The number of injuries is getting laughable now. If he can't play I'd go with:

    Forster
    Matthews Rogne Wilson Izaguirre
    Forrest Wanyama Mulgrew Commons
    Miku Hooper​

    He tweeted that he didn't know when he'd be back after the St. Johnstone game, so no.

    We're missing Ledley, Kayal and Samaras (and more). Arguably our 3 best players. :54: Hopefully Ledley makes it.

    I would go with this line up aswell (if Brown and Ledley are both fit). I would be mortified if we went with 4-4-2, we would get absolutely destroyed if we did

    With Brown and Joe probably missing I'm not as confident as I was a couple of weeks ago but CL nights are always special and I'm still quietly confident we can still grab a vital win. We've already seen the mindset and attitude of the players is very different when it comes to Europe and although we will miss Sammy and others for sure someone else will get their chance to shine and they have to take it.
