[Matchday] Celtic v FC Copenhagen Thursday 27th Feb 8PM BT Sport ESPN

Think the only argument for that side is whether Rogic or Mo start behind the strikers..

In my opinion the rest pick their selves..

 

I wouldn't play Rogic, too slow at shutting people down especially in front of a probably half injured Brown.

Elyounoussi for me in behind.

Only thing is if we dont get the goals and then need a sub you'd rather have Elyounoussi coming on that Rogic then as well. Bit * to have no Ntcham, Christie and Johnston. Laking attacking options off the bench.

 

Isn't ideal but could throw a curveball and have Forrest in the 10 and Frimpong wing back..

Adds a lot more pace to our play..

 

That was just a * up

 

Cant wait for this! 3-0 or 3-1 Eddy 2

 

Aye, either thing could work.

I would like to keep Elyounoussi on the bench incase we need to change things but equally Elyounoussi is the type of player who could end the game with a couple of goals in the first 20. Puts in good work rate, can beat a man, play a through ball and score a goal.

Glad im not picking the team lol

 

Great line up. Only person I'm not sure of is Simunovic, he seems to have a moment of bottle in it. Saying that, I haven't managed to see Sportscene and some folk said during the game he started to become very pro active which is not only good for a defender but any player after getting booked so early.

If Broony is fit I'd play him but it sounds like he's not quite purring.

What is it? A 3 - 4 - 2 -1?

We've been very successful throughout the season with that even though Broony would've played if he was 100%. Another good sign and test of character would be us winning without our talisman so while he's a huge miss, he'll be gone for sure soon so why not test us without him.

Part of that means I'm not too fussed about this season when we're on the brink of 10.

Rogic, Ely and Eduoard up front is mouthwatering considering the playmakers behind them

Mon the Mighty Hoops, another one of our smashing relentless starts to control the game.

 

Even Gordo?

 

Nervous, but buzzing for it.

Based on the first leg we should be too good for them at Celtic Park. On another night we would have been out of sight in the first half. And even in the second half, when they were the better side, we still had guilt-edged chances to score through Edouard and McGregor.

On our turf we could run riot against that back line.

 

Hope we stick with 3-5-2 tomorrow, with 2 strikers on the pitch we will hopefully convert more chances.

 

Is Christie injured or something lot of people leaving him out the team

 

Suspended for this one.

 

I just hope we don’t do a Braga and only turn up for one half of a two legged tie. Cluj still sticks in the memory. Also I couldn’t be arsed with the monkey * gloating and second-coming * if we got put out.

In saying that, we should really be putting a few past this mob if we are firing on all cylinders.

My big worry is losing an early goal and the nerves set in with the crowd or someone getting sent off. The game isn’t a formality.

 

They're *, but nothing sure about us in Europe.

 

With Olli out, team picks itself, except for the No 10 slot, reckon he will start with Tam, hopefully put game to bed early doors.

 

Think all angles have been covered with the 3-5-2. Id play Rogic in the hole if that's the way we go.

Forster
Ajer Jullien Simunovic Taylor
Brown McGregor
Forrest Rogic Elyounoussi
Edouard

That's another option for sure.

 

They haven't lost .any goals in their games to this point just need to take any chances that are created tonight and don't let them have anything close to the second half they had at their ground

 

Just checked and Scotland's ranking for CL and EL places is now at 13th after last night and we are currently just ahead of sole remaining Danish team.
If we win we knock that team out and will close on 12th place teams from Austria (2 teams) one who lost 1st leg 4-1 and other is 1-1 versus AZ Alkmaar.
Currently Austria are ranked 4.45 coefficient points above us which would mean that we would have to win the competition and Austrians go out this round (i think) for us to get to 12th.
That would allow us to start 2021/22 season in play offs at least and starting next season in CL GS with 4 coefficient points and we would then be within a few points of ranked 10th.

 

* buzzing canny wait to finish work at 3 and get a wine cracked.

Feeling confident 2-0 Celtic.
